Actress Han So Hee has personally confirmed she is in a relationship with Ryu Jun Yeol.
In a lengthy post shared on her personal blog, Han So Hee confirmed she is indeed in a relationship with Ryu Jun Yeol and also apologized to Hyeri.
“Hello, everyone. Some of you may have been surprised or hurt by the news about me over the past few days. I thought it would be better to let articles break the news, but I realized that would feel more like a notification. So I am writing this to lessen the pain that my fans, whom I value dearly, might feel.
First, [Ryu Jun Yeol] and I have feelings for each other and are in a relationship. However, I would like everyone to refrain from using the term ‘hwanseung’ (or literally “Transfer,” a Korean slang for cheating, rebounding, and/or switching). We indeed met through a photo exhibition, but the main purpose of my visiting the photo exhibition was to see the exhibition with my photographer friend. I heard that we might be working together [in a future work] so I went to greet him there.
Second, we developed feelings for each other in 2024. From what I heard, he ended his relationship with [Hyeri] early 2023, but the articles about their breakup came out in November. Based on this fact, I decided to pursue how I was feeling and build the relationship.
Third, my Instagram story was pathetic. You’re right. It was lame and petty. I should have just stayed quiet and done nothing. But I think I lost my mind for a bit and posted something that rude because I saw a flood of rumors saying that my relationship began before hers ended. I would like to apologize to [Hyeri] for this and I sincerely apologize to everyone, too, for not handling the situation more sensibly. Regardless of the reason, I admit that this was my fault as I acted without thinking.
Fourth, there will be news articles about this, of course. But they won’t represent the entirety of my feelings and thoughts. The only place that I can communicate with my fans is this blog, so here I am. I’m sorry that I am suddenly springing this on you. I want nothing but good news to share, but I’ve caused my fans to lose sleep and feel upset over constantly seeing news about this whole situation. And I’m sorry for that. I’ve always said this in a half-joking, half-serious manner, but I know that I still have a long way to go—because while I am turning 30, I have yet again made a mess and caused some concern. Still, I am grateful that I can share a bit of my feelings here, and I’m sorry. Really, I’m having a lot of mixed feelings.
These days, I feel like the idea that I need to show only the best side of me is probably destroying me more. I’ve lived a life that focused more on the results, and not on the process of reaching the results. But looking back, I wonder if I’ve been missing out on the fleeting moments. I’m sure the reason you like me is more than just a few pictures and videos. If you think I am conceited and arrogant, then even if I think I am not, I might have displayed some of those traits to an extent. I think it is time to admit that I have changed and that I need to return to where I started, to find what I truly wanted to do and what made me happy. Maybe going on a vacation after two years has turned me into a fool, but as I said earlier, I’m open to constructive criticism, please.
It breaks my heart to think of my fans who have worried about me during this time. But I know that it’s better to own up to my mistakes and take responsibility for my wrongdoings. So, thank you for supporting and believing that I will become a better person. I am sorry, but please know that I also want to do better. Maybe that is just my greed, but I will work on controlling myself better and becoming more mature for the next time I see everyone. I’m sorry to write such a heavy message on the blog I only update a few times a year.
It’s early morning. Please make sure you eat. Hwaiting.”
