As reported previously, Ryu Jun Yeol made his first public appearance after admitting to his romantic relationship with actress Han So Hee.
On March 19, Ryu Jun Yeol appeared at the Ralph Lauren 2024 Presentation Photo Call held at the Seoul Auction Gangnam Center in Sinsa-dong, Seoul.
During the event, notable attendees included Jung Woo Sung, Lee Jin Wook, Kim Woo Bin, Ryu Jun Yeol, Lee Som, and Lee Ho Jung. Of these, Ryu Jun Yeol garnered particular public attention, marking his first appearance since confirming his relationship with Han So Hee.
Many focused on whether Ryu Jun Yeol would break his silence since his sole avenue of communication regarding the latest dating news was through an official statement from his agency. While Ryu Jun Yeol added the event as scheduled, he remained silent and made no statements. Furthermore, Ryu Jun Yeol remained unresponsive to the photographers request for him to make hand-heart poses.
Korean netizens responded, “His face says he didn’t want to attend the event but had to make money, he wants to shoot all the reporters who are like a pack of wolves but he doesn’t have a gun. That’s his expression in the photos…” “He shouldn’t have made a public appearance since his privacy is only protected at home,” “I honestly think his acting is overrated and his visuals aren’t that great,” “He looks like he doesn’t want to be there,” “He’s not that great in acting. He just got popular because of his innocent pure romantic character image buff, but he’s the worst now,” “He should’ve smiled at least a little… He looks so pissed and even refused to pose for the camera… what is he doing? He really wants to get canceled,” and “I find this funny.”
Meanwhile, on March 17 KST, Ryu Jun Yeol quietly arrived back in Korea, keeping a low profile by keeping his head down and hiding his identity with a hat, sunglasses, and mask. In contrast, Han So Hee returned to Korea on March 18 KST, radiating a bright smile as she strolled through the airport. Notably, attention was drawn to the ring on Han So Hee’s left ring finger as she held hands with a friend.
