The reporter who initially broke the news about the celebrity couple revealed, "I believe Ryu Joon Yeol and Hyeri started dating last year. It was around in early March. They had very simple dates. Hyeri would ride in a taxi when they had dates at Ryu Joon Yeol's house.'' The reporter added, "Ryu Joon Yeol is 7 years older than Hyeri so she sometimes used honorifics when talking to him."
