Love affairs for ordinary people are inherently complicated, but for people in the entertainment industry, it is even more complicated. Showbiz is a place of gossip, all eyes are focused on scrutiny when a star is dating. From the scrutiny and strict standards set by the public to the “undercover saints” in the world who always secretly collect stories just waiting to be released to the world. Under pressure from all sides, it is not strange that stars are always careful with every word they say and even keep their love life a secret.
However, showbiz also has people like Song Joong Ki and Han So Hee. The two stars seem to be unrelated, but they have something in common that makes the public think. They are all handsome men and women, A-list stars of Kbiz with a large fan base of millions of people. And most importantly, they were all very popular with the audience before… publicizing their personal love life. Song Joong Ki became the “nation’s stepchild” after divorcing Song Hye Kyo, while Han So Hee became a typical example of a low EQ beauty after her love drama with Ryu Jun Yeol. But what is the source of the consequences that Song Joong Ki and Han So Hee suffered after their relationship scandal?
Invisible between Song Joong Ki and Han So Hee when they made their relationship public: Liked to make a fuss
To give the audience a more objective view of how these two stars treat each other in love, let’s summarize the loudest love drama and also the source of their loss of image in the eyes of the public.
Previously, Song Joong Ki and Han So Hee were both very secretive about their personal love affairs. They had never publicly dated anyone until they met a romantic relationship. Rumors of Song Joong Ki’s “real fake love movie” with Park Bo Young, or Han So Hee having feelings for co-star Song Kang, all appeared in newspapers and on social networks with evidence that had never been confirmed by insiders. . When it’s private, it’s very quiet, but when it comes to publicizing their feelings, both Song Joong Ki and Han So Hee are commented on as if they want to show off to the whole world.
Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo created a global fever with the work “Descendants of the Sun” in 2016. They caused a stir at award ceremonies with so many “hints” that they built a strong fandom in Korea. not only in Korea but also in China, Vietnam… And just 1 year later, specifically on July 5, 2017, the two shocked all of Asia when they announced their marriage.
Quickly after that, dating photos of the couple from Korea’s most powerful news outlet Dispatch spread across social networks. On October 31, 2017, Song Song got married at the luxury Shilla hotel in the wedding of the century, A-list stars from Korea to China attended, millions of viewers congratulated the couple on a hundred years of happiness. Every move of the couple of the century is watched by the public, everyone thinks that they are so passionate that they are inseparable.
What is most notable is Song Joong Ki’s attitude when declaring his love for Song Hye Kyo. Once it was made public, the actor had to wait until the two got married before spreading the news. According to Dispatch’s “practice” rules, they often discuss with the artists before publishing dating photos. The outcome depends on the negotiations between the press and the artist. When Dispatch released evidence of Song Song dating, from photos of the couple traveling to Japan while Song Joong Ki proposed to photos of the two meeting friends like Yoo Ah In, they were all published one after another. At the wedding of the century, Song Joong Ki initially decided not to make a big deal out of the press, but in the end he organized an entire section… the red carpet to welcome guests full of big stars to show off their beauty, and the media was also arranged. separate working area such as the award ceremony. It can be seen that the male actor went against his original statement of avoiding noise and avoiding making noise.
From the moment they announced their relationship until the wedding, Song Joong Ki did not hesitate to go public and organize grand ceremonies as if he wanted to show off his marriage to the world. Song Song’s century-old wedding can be said to be one of the most widely known weddings in Asia, far surpassing the level of superstar actor Lee Byung Hun in the past.
Although she didn’t shake Asia like Song Joong Ki, Han So Hee still “made a splash” in a… extremely confusing way when she first announced they were dating. In the early morning of March 15, 2024, rumors spread on Korean social networks that Han So Hee and actor Ryu Jun Yeol traveled together in Hawaii, were intimate and even stayed in the same hotel. Ryu Jun Yeol once had a 7-year love story that the audience extremely supported with Hyeri – his co-star in Reply 1988. Han So Hee is 8 years younger than Ryu Jun Yeol, the flower-like beauty has never publicly dated anyone, but Now he’s being questioned by a less-than-beautiful actor. That’s why the dating rumors of this “misaligned” couple are getting even more attention.
At 7:00 a.m. on the same day, both management companies responded vaguely, with an attitude leaning toward denial. There would have been nothing more controversial if Han So Hee had not personally posted on Instagram two posts about a series of Hawaii travel photos just 2 hours later. The public’s attention is focused on the photo of the actress’s back and the picture of 3 commemorative bracelets and her back silhouette, which is said to have been taken by her boyfriend Ryu Jun Yeol. At this time, the audience was excited to think that Han So Hee was behaving according to her rebellious personality, wanting to secretly personally confirm the relationship.
Han So Hee posted her own photos of her trip to Hawaii while her management company had to deal with the rumor that she was dating Ryu Jun Yeol at this location. Normally, artists will avoid anything related to scandals. But Han So Hee refused to sit still, true to her personality
The relationship scandal began to be blown up when Hyeri posted on her Instagram story a photo of the resort with the caption “So interesting” at 11:45 a.m. that day and then unfollowed her ex-boyfriend on Instagram after 1 hour. From here, rumors of Han So Hee being a third party sabotaging the Hyeri – Ryu Jun Yeol couple swept every corner of social media.
But it wasn’t until the evening of March 15 that Han So Hee added fuel to the fire, following up the “battle” with Hyeri with a post of a dog meme photo “Now explain this situation” with the answer “I I don’t even like people who have lovers. I don’t interfere with other people’s relationships. I don’t like dating shows like Transit Love, that doesn’t exist in my life either. . Han So Hee’s “I also find it interesting” is the response to Hyeri’s “It’s interesting”. On the morning of March 16, 2024, Han So Hee “turned around” 180 degrees by confirming her relationship with Ryu Jun Yeol and apologizing to Hyeri. From here, both the actress and the management company were exposed for lying to the audience.
Looking at Han So Hee’s attitude from the moment the dating news broke out until Hyeri’s controversial move, it can be seen that this beauty born in 1994 is all on her own. She personally wanted to make the date public, and even “marked ownership” of her new boyfriend even though the management company tried to hide it and arranged to protect the “domestic chicken’s” career. This actress’s case reminds the public of the scandal in which Hyuna unilaterally publicly dated Dawn, making her management company miserable last year.
Han So Hee ignited a love drama with Ryu Jun Yeol and Hyeri after posting back at Hyeri. Although the Reply 1988 actress was said to be the original source, Han So Hee was the one who received “criticism” for speaking without thinking and accepting her boyfriend’s ex-lover.
The exciting battle between Hyeri and Han So Hee suddenly flared up because of a series of explanatory posts from the World of Marriage beauty.
Talk long and hard, forget the two words “love” in the middle of drama
The common denominator in the two broken love relationships of Song Song and Han So Hee – Ryu Jun Yeol is the opposing attitudes of both sides when speaking up. One side enthusiastically explains and actively defends itself too much, the other side quietly waits for the opportunity. The saying “If you talk too long, you talk foolishly” is really true in the two cases of Song Joong Ki and Han So Hee.
In June 2019, after only 2 years of marriage, Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo confirmed their divorce. However, Song Joong Ki is the one who is criticized more after the divorce. The reason lies in the way this male actor spoke during the “storm” of divorce. Countless speculations broke out afterward because actor Reborn Rich announced the news first, while Song Hye Kyo was unusually quiet. Unexpectedly, Song Joong Ki unilaterally filed for divorce and publicly announced the news to the press while his ex-wife worked abroad. Song Hye Kyo and the management company only knew about the incident through the media, and were not even prepared in advance.
This shows the actor’s disrespectful attitude towards his partner, and is no different from a backhanded attack. Even if there is a conflict that cannot be resolved, Song Joong Ki should discuss it with Song Hye Kyo first before announcing the divorce. In particular, both he and his ex-wife are prominent actors in the Korean film industry, and in the future there will be many opportunities for the two to encounter each other.
When the couple publicly announced their divorce, Song Joong Ki diligently spoke up to explain himself to the point that the audience felt… embarrassed. His attitude was considered intentional, no different from blaming everything on his ex-wife. Song Joong Ki’s family also expressed a harsh attitude towards Song Hye Kyo, from his brother hinting at his sister-in-law’s conflict with his family on social networks and “liking” comments criticizing the actress to his father’s death. Song Joong Ki moved to remove display images related to the movie Descendants of the Sun at his home in Daejeon.
Rumors of Song Hye Kyo having an affair with Song Joong Ki’s good brother Park Bo Gum have been on the rise since then. Both his ex-wife and his close brother were scolded everywhere online, but Song Joong Ki remained silent even though just a few hours before he spoke positively about his stance. After the uproar, Park Bo Gum had to turn to the law, declaring this to be seriously offensive information and deciding to sue those spreading baseless information.
What a good year brother…
… and his ex-wife encountered baseless rumors because of his and his family’s actions, Song Joong Ki still maintained an indifferent attitude, considering himself innocent and not caring about the truth.
Audiences and people in the industry no longer see Song Joong Ki and Park Bo Gum interacting with each other after the incident that year. It’s unclear whether the two actors really broke up or just avoided the public eye, but in the end, the brotherhood from now on is no longer as beautiful as it was at the beginning. Furthermore, netizens also noticed many details showing that Song Joong Ki no longer interacts regularly with close friends of actors Lee Kwang Soo, Kim Woo Bin, Jo In Sung, D.O (EXO), Kim Ki Bang. , Lee Ki Hoon. It can be said that the actor Song completely lost his previous kind and warm image because of his attitude that was considered petty and uncivilized towards both the people he used to be on his knees and his good brothers.
In stark contrast to Song Joong Ki, Song Hye Kyo has a smart, skillful and considerate way of dealing with the people around her when the news of divorce broke out. She silently waits for the opportunity and speaks up about necessary information, avoiding oversharing. When her stylist’s close friend was rumored to be a “little tam”, the actress also cleverly complained on her friend’s behalf with photos of her close trip together, clearly showing her stance to protect those close to her. Professional and meaningful handling is the reason why Song Hye Kyo returned to showbiz very quickly with a solid position after the divorce, while Song Joong Ki lost 2 years of heavy “flops” on screen because influence from private life.
Song Hye Kyo is still as popular as ever, even more popular, more sought after by big events and brands just a few months after the divorce.
Similar to Song Joong Ki, Han So Hee also lost control when her love life took a negative turn. Before the love drama caused a storm across social networks, Han So Hee was praised as “the only exception in Korean showbiz” thanks to her cold, strong image that went against the standards of “pearls” of the same generation. Despite a few times revealing uncontrolled actions such as being drunk or having a careless attitude in old online posts, Han So Hee is still loved by the audience thanks to her outstanding beauty and the “truth and substance” in her personality. her behind the screen. But living too real and not being tactful, not thinking before speaking can have unpredictable consequences for artists.
The love drama between Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol – Hyeri became more complicated throughout the week actually because the actress The World of the Married constantly posted too many explanations. She clarified her love story but was unclear about the timeline of her boyfriend Ryu Jun Yeol’s past, revealing loopholes and giving false information to the point that netizens pointed out every detail to “smash” her. again bitter. From here, she turned herself into a symbol of a lying beauty, and scandals in the past such as suspicions of fake studying abroad were also “given birth” more and more.
The audience was shocked when they witnessed the beautiful Han So Hee revealing loopholes and giving false information time and again.
While other artists often discuss with the company to make the most accurate and careful statements possible in the face of turmoil, Han So Hee unilaterally pours out all her feelings on her personal pages. From the lyrics to the way the actress constantly changed platforms, the audience could realize that Han So Hee personally posted the post without discussing it with the company. She teased her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend on Instagram, then apologized to her seniors, but she had to say “I also find it interesting” for that matter.
When it was time to write a long letter of explanation to herself on her personal blog, the beauty still demanded that Hyeri clearly explain in detail the previous idle “It’s so interesting” as an obsession that she couldn’t let go of. And then there was a series of 1:1 response comments from Han So Hee – an A-list female celebrity of Kbiz – with passersby. In just 48 hours, Han exposed his back to everyone, revealing his complete loss of control in his love life in front of everyone.
Not stopping there, the audience became more tired and completely disappointed with Han So Hee after she continuously spoke insinuatingly about her boyfriend Ryu, indirectly criticizing him as a coward, raising his status. herself while criticizing her boyfriend for being unattractive despite being in a passionate dating phase. After 2 weeks of controversy, Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol broke up. While the Reply 1988 actor maintained silence in the face of noise, Han So Hee was accused by the audience of disrupting the lives of her ex-boyfriend and Hyeri because she continued to mention the names of the two actors just to clear her name. jerk off.
In addition to the inconsistent posts, Han So Hee also intentionally posted a photo of Nicole Kidman screaming in court after officially divorcing Tom Cruise, supposedly expressing a hidden meaning that she was happy to be freed from her lover. . This post full of “tease” made Han So Hee a laughingstock on social networks because she and Ryu Jun Yeol had only officially been dating for half a month and were never husband and wife. Comparing her emotional experiences, she has never experienced anything so terrible that she suffered from depression and crisis like Nicole Kidman did when she lived with Tom Cruise.
According to Sina, a fan page with nearly 200,000 followers on social network Weibo announced to stop supporting Han So Hee. In just 3 short days, the World of the Married actress lost 100,000 followers on her personal Instagram page. Meanwhile, Hyeri has a bumper crop of fans after a love triangle scandal that shocked public opinion. Korean media said that beauty Reply 1988 gained 300,000 followers on Instagram in 72 hours. With 3 idle words and a brief letter speaking out about the “stupid” drama, Hyeri completely made Han So Hee fall into a miserable situation like a failure. This is also said to be the reason why beauty Nevertheless is so angry that she has to speak up so much about one issue.
Most importantly, perhaps Han So Hee forgot that love is a personal matter. She has too deep an attachment to her own transparency, accepts an idle statement from Hyeri – her ex-girlfriend who broke up with Ryu Jun Yeol a long time ago, and has invisible expectations for her new boyfriend. officially acquainted. Han So Hee always shows a carefree and independent image, but she lost that strong image in the eyes of the audience because she paid too much attention to people’s eyes and her boyfriend’s past.
It’s sad to look at the series of dating photos of Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol in Hawaii taken by Dispatch after the dating news broke out. Actor Jun Yeol didn’t smile or speak, just quietly followed his girlfriend and then quietly picked up food for her. Meanwhile, Han So Hee doesn’t care about her boyfriend. Her attention was focused on the phone in her hand along with comments from netizens – people who should have been considered strangers and outsiders in the eyes of this actress. At a moment that should have been reserved for our brief happiness, Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol instead paid all their attention to the opinions of outsiders. Meaningless comments on social networks are more important than the presence of your loved one next to you. “Maybe at this point, both of them realize that this emotional part is not that important to the other person,” an audience commented.
To avoid “slander”…
After looking back at the entire process of these two love dramas and the consequences the people involved suffered, we can clearly see the value and meaning of the statements, the level of privacy and the two words “love”. in entertainment love stories. Sometimes the audience may not immediately look at the clear story of right and wrong, but rather how a star reacts to a scandal.
“Behaving carefully when in love, and culturally behaving when breaking up” is a factor that needs to be prioritized so that artists can preserve their image in the eyes of the mass audience, especially when they are the ones who decide. publicize personal love affairs.
