On January 23, South Korean social media was abuzz with speculation that Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol had reunited in France, 10 months after their breakup. The rumors stemmed from several notable recent activities of the two artists.
First, both Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol are currently in Paris, France. Additionally, on January 22, both stars coincidentally posted Instagram stories featuring flowers.
What caught even more attention was Ryu Jun-yeol’s caption on one of his photos, which read, “Paris, I love you.” This led some netizens to speculate that the actor might be publicly expressing his feelings for Han So-hee.
On South Korean online forums, some netizens believe that Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol may have reconciled. However, many others argue that the fact they are both in Paris and posted about flowers on the same day is merely a coincidence. Fans also pointed out that Ryu Jun-yeol’s “I love you” caption likely reflects his affection for the glamorous city of Paris rather than a romantic confession. Furthermore, many believe the flowers in Han So-hee’s post were a gift from Dior, as the actress shared a photo of a gift bag from the brand alongside the image of the flowers.
Han So-hee had confirmed her relationship with Ryu Jun-yeol in mid-March last year. However, this romance dragged the actress into controversy, significantly damaging her public image. The issue arose from allegations that Han So-hee was a third party interfering in the relationship between Ryu Jun-yeol and Hyeri.
Amid the controversy, Han So-hee and Hyeri took subtle jabs at each other on social media. Meanwhile, Ryu Jun-yeol remained silent as the two women clashed online.
When accused of being the “other woman,” Han So-hee demanded that Ryu Jun-yeol publicly disclose the exact date he broke up with Hyeri. However, Ryu Jun-yeol refused to comply with Han So-hee’s request. His indifferent and unresponsive behavior reportedly left Han So-hee deeply disappointed, which is believed to be one of the reasons for their early breakup.
The couple officially parted ways just two weeks after they publicly announced their relationship to the media.
