Hyeri's agency has issued an official statement addressing the ongoing controversy surrounding Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee's relationship.
On March 17, representatives from Creative Group Ing informed OSEN that Hyeri "has no intentions to provide further responses to the recent SNS-related incident."
The issue began on March 15 when Hyeri unfollowed her ex-boyfriend Ryu Jun Yeol on Instagram, following a cryptic Instagram story seemingly referencing reports of his dating rumors with Han So Hee. Since then, both Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee have confirmed their relationship, with Han So Hee apologizing for her reaction to Hyeri's Instagram story while denying any claims of relationship overlap.
Although the exact timing of the breakup remains undisclosed, Hyeri publicly acknowledged the end of her relationship with Ryu Jun Yeol on November 13 of last year.
Netizens have expressed a spectrum of reactions, from supportive messages to expressions of disappointment regarding Hyeri's handling of the Instagram story:
Reactions include:
"Fighting, Hyeri..."
"I don't see why Hyeri deserves support here"
"I wish people would just stop caring about other people's dating lives"
"Do people need permission to support her? Geez"
"Fighting, Hyeri!"
"I was actually quite disappointed at her for the first time ever. I feel like this is kind of an irresponsible move after causing such a stir in the first place"
"It was like the most extreme version of a classic ex-girlfriend move"
"This is why people need to stop using social media lol"
"I don't know if anyone needs to provide further comment on something they wrote on their Instagram...It was just three syllables"
"I guess I understand how there's nothing she can say at this point"
"Hyeri was the one who started this issue, though...So, I don't know why people are saying 'Fighting, Hyeri'..."
What are your thoughts?
If Hyeri says anything anymore, the situation will definitely get worse. Good that she’s staying silent. I wish Han So Hee also stayed silent and let the pr team do their work
