On the 29th, 9ATO Entertainment, the agency representing Han So-hee, issued an apology regarding the recent social media controversy, expressing regret for any inconvenience caused.
Earlier, Han So-hee took to her own social media platform to address the ongoing speculation surrounding her relationship with Ryu Jun-yeol and to critique Hye-ri. In her statement, she reiterated her version of events, clarifying that she first encountered Ryu Jun-yeol in November 2023 at a photo exhibition and dismissing rumours suggesting any prior acquaintance.
Additionally, she highlighted their lack of communication or shared acquaintances outside of public or private events, while also mentioning a teddy bear purchase for herself via KakaoTalk gifting in 2021.
Further emphasizing their separation in the previous year, Han So-hee questioned the amusement surrounding her ex-partner’s new relationship and criticized Hye-ri for allegedly misrepresenting the content of her messages, suggesting lingering feelings, without addressing the nature of their reunion or the characterization of their former relationship as a “transferred romance” leading to a new connection four months later.
These statements from Han So-hee have contributed to ongoing debate and speculation surrounding the nature of her past relationship with Ryu Jun-yeol and the dynamics of their respective interactions.
