On March 15, 2024, actors Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol were amidst relationship rumours sparked by an anonymous netizen’s post. Subsequently, further reports emerged, allegedly involving Ryu Jun Yeol’s ex-girlfriend, Girl’s Day’s Hyeri, leading to multiple events and timelines.
Ryu Jun Yeol and Hyeri Breakup
Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol have been in a relationship since 2017, after working together on “Reply 1988.” But in November 2023, they decided to break up. This news was reported by News1 and confirmed by both Ryu Jun Yeol’s agency, C-JeS Studios, and Hyeri’s agency, Creative Group ING. So, it’s official that they’re no longer together.
Ryu Jun Yeol met Han Sohee.
In November 2023, there was a buzz in the air when Han So Hee was seen at Ryu Jun Yeol’s photo exhibition titled “A Wind Runs Through It, and Other Stories.” This sparked rumours that the two might be dating, especially since Ryu Jun Yeol had recently ended his seven-year relationship with actress and singer Hyeri.
Ryu Jun Yeol and Han Sohee were Spotted in Hawaii together
On March 15, 2024, rumours swirled online, suggesting that actors Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol were romantically involved. It all started with a post by someone who claimed to have spotted the two vacationing together at a hotel swimming pool in Hawaii. According to reports from Japanese tourists, they were seen having a good time at the pool.
The speculation intensified, but Ryu Jun Yeol’s agency, C-JeS Studios, stepped in later that morning. They confirmed that Ryu Jun Yeol was in Hawaii for professional photography work, not for a romantic getaway. They urged the public to respect the actor’s time and vacation.
However, the rumours didn’t die down. Han So Hee’s agency had to address the situation, too. They denied the reports of her dating Ryu Jun Yeol, clarifying that Han So Hee had gone to Hawaii with close friends, not as part of a romantic trip. When questioned further by the news outlet Edaily, Han So Hee’s agency emphasized that her personal life should be respected, asking for understanding from fans.
So, despite the speculations sparked by their vacation in Hawaii, both actors’ agencies firmly stated that there was no romantic involvement between Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol.
Hyeri and Han Sohee’s cryptic message
Amidst swirling rumours of her ex-boyfriend Ryu Jun Yeol’s alleged romantic involvement with Han So Hee, Hyeri posted an Instagram story with a photo of palm trees, symbolizing Hawaii, with the caption “how funny” or “interesting.”
Han So Hee seemingly responded to these allegations in her Instagram story, stating that she did not “meddle in other people’s relationships.” She ended her post with the statement, “I find it funny, too,” which some interpreted as a subtle jab at Hyeri. Additionally, Han So Hee referenced the concept of the reality show “Transit Love,” alluding to situations where individuals develop feelings for someone while already in a relationship.
Fans quickly connected the dots between Han So Hee’s and Hyeri’s Instagram stories, seeing similarities in the captions and interpreting Han So Hee’s post as a response to Hyeri’s. The situation fueled the speculation surrounding the alleged romantic involvement between Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol.

“I’m writing this in the hopes that I can hurt my precious fans even slightly less. First, we are indeed in a relationship with positive feelings. However, I hope people will not use the word “transfer.” Second, when we exchanged feelings for one another, it was already the beginning of 2024, and his breakup with that person was already wrapped up in early 2023,” said Han So-hee.
