Ryu Joon Yeol finally comments on Han So Hee-Hyeri controversy

Actor Ryu Joon Yeol finally commented on the controversy involving Hyeri and Han So Hee.

Ryu Joon Yeol has faced criticism for remaining silent on the issue, while others noted he was adopting a smart strategy. On May 10, the actor attended the press conference for Netflix' new series 'The 8 Show', and he finally spoke up on the controversy that arose following allegations he broke up with Hyeri to date Han So Hee.

He expressed, "Instead of trying to correct misinformation about my personal life that was posted to social media, I felt it was better to stay quiet and take the criticism." As for his other controversies, including his appearance at a golf event, Ryu Joon Yeol stated, "It was an opportunity for me to self-reflect and the most difficult time since my debut. As it's a personal issue, I think there will be a time I can give an interview in a personal setting."  

As previously reported, Han So Hee and Ryu Joon Yeol were spotted together in Hawaii, and Ryu Joon Yeol's ex-girlfriend Hyeri then shared a cryptic Instagram story, stating, "Funny," which some speculated to be about the two dating. The celebrity couple then faced criticism for allegedly overlapping relationships or "transit love," something they both deny. Han So Hee then posted a lengthy letter on social media that further added fuel to the controversy, which seems to be unfounded as Ryu Joon Yeol and Hyeri reportedly broke up long before he and Han So Hee began their relationship. Han So Hee and Ryu Joon Yeol were then confirmed to have broken up just 2 weeks after going public with their relationship.
