On March 30th, an official from CJes Entertainment said to Sports Seoul, “Ryu Jun-yeol recently broke up with Han So-hee”.
Shortly later, 9ATO Entertainment also confirmed the breakup news, saying “Han So-hee has parted ways with Ryu Jun-yeol. Both of them realized that their roles as actors were bigger. Therefore, they promised to not let personal matters influence their emotions anymore”, adding “Because of her personal feelings, Han So-hee has caused discomfort to the public and herself throughout this time. It was not a proper way to communicate. We are very sorry. We will take any criticism”.
9ATO continued, “Our company feels greatly responsible for not taking good care of the actress. We did not play our role as a management company properly. We are reflecting on that. It’s already late but we’ll fix it from now on. Please keep an eye on Han So-hee with warm gazes. She will return with a healthy appearance”.
Earlier on the 15th, Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol were spotted dating in Hawaii. Later, rumors of a transit love spread because of an SNS post of Ryu Jun-yeol’s girlfriend Hyeri.
Since then, the controversy intensified as Han So-hee released several explanations. In particular, she left a long message targeting Hyeri on the 29th and deleted it within a few minutes. Later, she uploaded a photo of Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman cheering after divorcing Tom Cruise, causing breakup rumors to arise. In the end, Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol ended their open relationship after two weeks.
