Ryu Jun Yeol’s agency has issued an official statement regarding his relationship with Han So Hee. On March 15, dating rumours surrounding Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee surfaced online when they were spotted vacationing together in Hawaii.
Ryu Jun Yeol’s agency acknowledged his presence in Hawaii but refrained from addressing the speculations.
Conversely, Han So Hee’s agency initially denied the rumours, stating that she was vacationing “with close friends.”
However, on March 16, Han So Hee took to her blog to personally confirm her relationship with Ryu Jun Yeol.
Later that day, Ryu Jun Yeol’s agency, C-JeS Studios, released a statement verifying their relationship:
Hello, this is C-JeS Studios.
Starting with the Hawaii sighting account from yesterday, there have been many articles speculating about Ryu Jun Yeol’s personal life, so we would like to inform you of the truth.
Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee confirmed their positive feelings for one another and have been dating since the beginning of this year. Ryu Jun Yeol got to know Han So Hee after his breakup, and they recently confirmed their feelings [for each other].
Instead of an official confirmation of the sighting account at the vacation resort and the photos that were taken without permission [by the person who posted the account], we asked that people respect [Ryu Jun Yeol’s] privacy. But because we did not confirm their relationship, unnecessary misunderstandings and groundless speculation have been swirling both yesterday and today, and actor [Ryu Jun Yeol]’s rights are being severely violated, so we entreat you once again.
In the future as well, in order to protect our actor’s basic rights, we will continue to not release a statement in response to each and every request to clarify and prove the details of his personal life. We ask for your understanding.
Additionally, regarding malicious slander and insulting posts about our actor, we will be taking strong action through a legal representative in response to falsehoods, defamation of character, insults, and the violation of [his] rights.
Thank you.
