Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol’s sighting in Hawaii is causing a stir as it spreads into dating rumors, prompting both positive and negative reactions from fans as their agencies remain tight-lipped about the matter
Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol’s sighting in Hawaii started from a Japanese influencer. With about 40,000 followers, this influencer recently wrote on Instagram, “After a long time, I went to Hawaii, and there’s super gossip about a top Korean actress and actor cuddling at the hotel swimming pool.”
While the influencer did not mention the actors’ names, she tagged Ryu Jun-yeol’s work “Reply 1988” and Han So-hee’s work “Nevertheless” in the post.
When their post garnered attention and turned into news articles, the influencer expressed surprise, saying, “I’m confused that my post uploaded yesterday is causing a stir in Korea. The photos I took of them are too amazing to make public.”
Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol’s sighting in Hawaii has now escalated into dating rumors. However, while both agencies acknowledged their stay in Hawaii, they remained silent on matters related to their relationship.
Ryu Jun-yeol’s agency C-JeS Entertainment said, “It is true that Ryu Jun-yeol is staying in Hawaii for a photo shoot. We ask for your understanding that it is a private trip. In the future, our company will not respond individually to every eyewitness account from private spaces.”
Han So-hee’s agency 9ato Entertainment also stated, “It is true that she went on vacation to Hawaii with close friends for the first time after her debut. We cannot comment on her private life as it was a personal trip.”
As both agencies neither confirmed nor denied the dating rumors, public opinion opposing their relationship has emerged.
Some online communities are not only expressing opposition but also directing intense criticism towards Ryu Jun-yeol. Some speculate that he engaged in “transit dating”, leading to a wave of condemnation.
Additionally, fans are pointing out the lack of a clear response from both agencies regarding the dating rumors. This seems to be due to the fact that Han So-hee is gaining considerable support from female fans.
Ryu Jun-yeol admitted to his breakup with actress Hyeri in November last year, ending their six-year public relationship.
Han So-hee previously showed signs of friendship with Ryu Jun-yeol by posting a photo of herself at Ryu Jun-yeol’s photo exhibition in November last year. Recently, it was reported that Ryu Jun-yeol and Han So-hee would appear together in the drama “Delusion”, which is based on a webtoon, and claims were raised that their friendship is “unique”.
