Han So Hee and Jeon Jong Seo have shown that their friendship remains strong despite the recent "Hyeri malicious commenter incident."

On October 22, Jeon Jong Seo posted several photos from a fashion magazine shoot on social media, which received approximately 128,000 likes. Among those who liked the post was Han So Hee. 

The post has been garnering much attention since Han So Hee continued to like Jeon Jong Seo’s posts, demonstrating their unwavering friendship, even after the controversy surrounding alleged malicious comments directed at Hyeri.

The controversy began on October 16 when a private account that Jeon Jong Seo follows was accused of leaving malicious comments on Hyeri’s social media. The account owner made comments such as, "You must have enjoyed the sudden surge in likes thanks to Han So Hee, although they’ve all disappeared now," and "The intelligence level of someone who thinks they can even reach 17 million in the first place..."

The controversy gained traction and intensified because of the past connection between Hyeri and Han So Hee, both of whom had been linked to actor Ryu Jun Yeol, Hyeri’s former boyfriend.

Following the incident, speculation arose that Han So Hee might be the owner of the account. This was fueled by the fact that the account’s profile picture matched a Saturn image that Han So Hee had posted in the past. Additionally, Jeon Jong Seo was only following four total accounts at the time including the malicious account, further stirring controversy.

In response, Han So Hee's side firmly denied the accusations, stating, "The social media account exposed by the media is not Han So Hee's, and we will take full legal responsibility if it turns out to be false." Jeon Jong Seo’s side commented, "It is difficult to confirm since it pertains to personal matters."

Despite some speculation that Han So Hee and Jeon Jong Seo might end their friendship due to the malicious comment incident, the two appear to maintain a strong bond.

Meanwhile, Han So Hee and Jeon Jong Seo, both born in 1994, will star together in 'Project Y.' Set in Seoul’s Gangnam district, the noir series revolves around two friends, both the same age, who plot to steal 8 billion KRW (5.8 million USD) worth of gold bars as their final heist. The series is set to be released soon.
