“Very difficult time, violation of personal rights” Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol warn of legal action after admitting they are dating
On the 18th, Han So-hee's agency, 9Ato Entertainment, said in an official statement, "Han So-hee has a job as an actress, so she is grateful for the public's interest, and has tried to repay the love and support received from many people." However, before she is an actress, she is a person. “As a person, I am going through a very difficult time mentally due to the speculative posts and malicious comments being made indiscriminately,” he said.
He continued, "In relation to this, we would like to inform you that we will take strong action against the creators and distributors of all actions that tarnish and damage the artist's reputation, regardless of the severity of the malicious content."
The agency said, "Our company and the actor will once again look back and deeply reflect on the concerns we caused to many people during the process of announcing our romantic relationship. We will closely monitor the agency's actor to move in the right direction and do our best to protect the artist."
Meanwhile, Ryu Jun-yeol's agency, C-JeS Studio, also signaled strong response to defamation. On the 16th, C-JeS Studio said, "We asked for respect for privacy rather than official confirmation of unauthorized filming and eyewitness accounts at travel destinations, but as the relationship was not acknowledged, unnecessary misunderstandings and speculations were rampant yesterday and today, and the actor's personality rights are being seriously violated, so we are requesting that we respect his privacy again." “We sincerely ask you to do so. Going forward, our company will not take a position on each and every request to disclose and prove personal privacy in order to protect the actor’s personal rights at a minimum.”
He emphasized, "We will take strong action through legal representation against malicious slander and insulting posts directed at actors, defamation of false information, insults, and violations of personal rights."
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 posted an eyewitness account, saying, “Popular Korean actors are playing next to the hotel swimming pool.”
The next day, on the 16th, Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol acknowledged their romantic relationship. However, in relation to this, a big stir was caused when Han So-hee directly responded to Ryu Jun-yeol's ex-girlfriend Hyeri's "That's fun" remark. Afterwards, Ryu Jun-yeol entered the country on the 17th, and Han So-hee is scheduled to enter the country this afternoon.
Below is the full statement from Han Sohee’s agency:
hello. This is 9Ato Entertainment.
Since Han So-hee is an actress, she believes that the public's interest is grateful and has tried to repay the love and support received from many people.
However, as a person before being an actor, I am having a very difficult time mentally due to the speculative posts and malicious comments that are being written indiscriminately.
In relation to this, we would like to inform you that we will take strong action against the author and distributor of any actions that tarnish or damage the artist's reputation, regardless of the severity of the malicious content. Please send any additional reports to 9ato_protect@naver.com.
Our company and the actor will once again look back and deeply reflect on the concerns we caused to many people during the process of announcing our romantic relationship. We will closely monitor our actor to move in the right direction and do our best to protect the artist.
thank you
Below is the full text of C-JeS Studio’s statement:
hello. This is C-JeS Studio.
Starting with yesterday's eyewitness account in Hawaii, speculative articles about Ryu Jun-yeol's private life have been posted, so we would like to tell you the facts.
Ryu Jun-yeol and Han So-hee have been meeting since the beginning of this year after confirming that they are on good terms. Ryu Jun-yeol got to know Han So-hee after their breakup and recently confirmed his feelings for her.
We asked for respect for privacy rather than official confirmation of unauthorized filming and eyewitness accounts at travel destinations. However, as the actor did not acknowledge his romantic relationship, unnecessary misunderstandings and speculations were rampant yesterday and today, and the actor's personality rights are being seriously violated, so we would like to ask you once again.
In the future, in order to protect the minimum personal rights of actors, we will not take a position on each and every request to disclose and prove personal privacy. Please understand.
In addition, we will take strong action through legal representation against malicious slander and insulting posts directed at actors, defamation of false information, insults, and violations of personal rights.
thank you
