Early in the morning of March 15, news outlets began releasing reports about the possibility of Ryu Jun Yeol and actress Han So-hee being romantically involved.
These reports emerged following the widespread sharing of Instagram posts claiming sightings of Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So-hee together at a 5-star hotel swimming pool in Hawaii, the United States, displaying affection toward each other.
Several hours later, at around 7 AM KST, both their agencies gave their official responses to the reports.
C-JeS Entertainment, Ryu Jun Yeol's agency, told the media that he is currently in Hawaii for his photography work, but declined to provide further comments, citing the actor's privacy.
Similarly, Han So-hee's agency NINE ATO Entertainment stated that she is in Hawaii with her female friends. They also have expressed difficulty in verifying additional details about her private life.

If it were any ordinary day, this update might have been seen as simply her sharing her daily life in Bangkok.
However, given that it followed closely after Ryu Jun Yeol's dating news, nobody could interpret it in such a casual manner, especially with her sarcastic words over the photo.
Approximately an hour later, Hyeri unfollowed Ryu Jun Yeol on Instagram, seemingly confirming that her previous post was indeed a response to Ryu Jun Yeol's dating news with Han So-hee.
It seemed to indicate that Hyeri is unhappy with the news and feels upset with Ryu Jun Yeol because of it.
It was just last mid-November when they announced the end of their 7-year love.
