It's true that it's a romantic relationship, but it's not a transfer... Ryu Jun-yeol ♥ Han So-hee begin dating publicly

While actor Ryu Jun-yeol (37) and actress Han So-hee (29) officially acknowledged their relationship, they emphasized, "It is not a transit relationship."

Ryu Jun-yeol's agency, C-JeS Studio, said in an official statement on the 16th, "Ryu Jun-yeol has confirmed good feelings for Han So-hee and has been meeting since the beginning of this year. After the breakup, Ryu Jun-yeol got to know Han So-hee and recently confirmed his feelings for her."

Han So-hee also acknowledged her romantic relationship with Ryu Jun-yeol through her blog that day, but was extremely reluctant to frame it as a 'transit love'. Han So-hee wrote, "It is true that we are continuing our relationship with good feelings," but added, "However, I would like you to exclude the word transfer."

Regarding Ryu Jun-yeol's photo exhibition, which was the issue, Han So-hee said, "It is true that we met through a photo exhibition, but we went there for the purpose of viewing the exhibition through a friend who is a photographer, and I stopped by to say hello because I heard that we might be working together." “At the time we exchanged our hearts, it was already the beginning of 2024, and the breakup with her (Hyeri) was finalized in early 2023, and I heard that the breakup article was published in November. Based on this fact, I changed my feelings. “I confirmed it and continued the relationship,” he explained.

On the 15th, Han So-hee responded to the post on her SNS saying, 'Transfer love is not in my life', saying, "That's my crappy Instagram story. It was crappy and lame. I should have just stayed quiet, but there are various people who say I took a transit." "I think I lost my temper for a moment and committed a rude act because rumors and stories were heard and seen even though I didn't want to see them," he said. "I apologize to that person (Hyeri) for this, and I sincerely apologize for not being able to deal wisely with you when it came to being seen." He admitted that he was hasty, saying, "It was an action that came out of emotion, so regardless of the reason, I unconditionally admit that I was wrong."

Previously, on the 15th, an eyewitness report said that Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol were enjoying a trip together in Hawaii, sparking romance rumors in Hawaii. A netizen who verified a trip to Hawaii said, “Popular Korean actors are hanging out next to the hotel pool,” and tagged ‘Reply 1988’, ‘I know,’ etc. ‘Reply 1988’ and ‘I Know But’ feature Ryu Jun-yeol and Han So-hee, respectively. This raised suspicions that the two were traveling together, and it was confirmed that the two were actually staying in Hawaii.

However, while both agencies acknowledged the couple's stay in Hawaii, they did not reveal their position on the suspicions regarding their romantic relationship, citing it as "the actor's private life," thus further increasing public interest in the relationship between the two. .

Afterwards, Ryu Jun-yeol's ex-girlfriend, actress Hye-ri (29, Lee Hye-ri) from the group Girl's Day, unfollowed Ryu Jun-yeol after posting, "That's fun." Han So-hee also said, "I don't like people who have lovers, but I don't like them in the name of friends." “I don’t give love, I don’t show interest, I don’t give relationships, and I don’t interfere with other people’s relationships,” he wrote, adding, “I like the ‘Transit Love’ program, but it’s not in my life. It’s fun for me too,” causing a war of nerves.

Hyeri and Ryu Jun-yeol met on tvN's 'Reply 1988', which aired in 2015, and developed into lovers. They began dating publicly in August 2017, but announced their breakup in November last year.
