Ryu Jun Yeol accused of ‘greenwashing’

Some people give evidence that the actor often uses bags made from animal skin, plastic containers, nylon bags… instead of environmentally friendly materials.
And the biggest controversy arose when Ryu Jun Yeol was a “player” who regularly visited golf courses, while this subject was becoming the center of controversy because of its involvement in actions that destroy the living environment.
Greenpeace itself also stood up to eliminate this sport with the same slogan Stop playing with our lives, but Ryu Jun Yeol did the opposite.

Han So Hee lost her advertising contract
As for Han So Hee, in just two consecutive days, March 2 and March 19, she was “turned away” by brands, announcing the termination of her advertising contract.
According to Korean media, this is the first time in 8 years that drink brand Chumchurum stopped working with models after only 1 year of cooperation.
As for the case of NH bank, Han So Hee has cooperated for nearly 3 years, her promotional videos have achieved a huge amount of interaction, but that cannot change the situation.

Although Han So Hee’s management company has stated that the termination of the advertising contract with the above two brands was decided in advance and is not related to the actress dating Ryu Jun Yeol.
However, with the public reacting violently to the actress after a love scandal, it is not difficult to understand the fact that brands terminated contracts with Han So Hee to ensure their brand image.
Before the scandal broke out, Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol were actively discussing to appear together in a new film project. However, with the current situation, whether the movie can be released smoothly or not is still a big question.
On March 21, industry “insiders” claimed that Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol had already broken up in February after deciding to take a “break” from their relationship. Insiders claimed that the relationship between the two had grown apart as Hyeri became busy filming the movie ‘Victory,’ during that time. They further added that the breakup had become official when Ryu Jun Yeol didn’t show up to Hyeri’s birthday in June.
Furthermore, an insider added, “They only met each other in person once all of last year. They were already more or less broken up. Hyeri must have known that those words, ‘let’s try to talk it out,’ were more of a formality than anything else. To say that it was a ‘transit relationship’ would be quite a stretch.”
However, Korean netizens are not buying the claims made by these “insiders” and are saying this is just media play that makes the situation worse for the three individuals embroiled in the controversy.
Korean netizens commented, “How would these ‘insiders’ know about the relationship between the two?” “Who are these insiders?” “What can these insiders know about what goes on between these two? The more this controversy progresses, the more I want to side with Hyeri,” “Stop harassing Hyeri,” “Ryu Jun Yeol, stop this media play and write your own statement,” “He’s trying to make Hyeri seem like she was the one being clingy, wow. Hyeri I support you,” “This media play is so rude and so low,” “What I am understanding from this ‘insider’ is that Ryu Jun Yeol probably ghosted Hyeri when she wanted to talk with him,” “This is so obvious that this report was leaked by Ryu Jun Yeol’s side or Han So Hee’s side,” “Then why did they deny that they didn’t break up in August 2023?” “So the insider was part of their relationship?” and “Wow, this is so low. I’m siding with Hyeri.”
