In an unexpected turn of events, Dispatch caught the first date of Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee on the idyllic shores of Hawaii on March 16th, merely a day after the couple made their relationship public. The scenes captured were far from the anticipated romantic escapades often associated with celebrity couples. Instead, Han So Hee was seen cautiously gauging public reaction on her phone, while Ryu Jun Yeol silently observed her.

Amidst the unfolding of this new romance, Dispatch also covered the final meeting between Ryu Jun Yeol and his ex-girlfriend, Hyeri, back in Korea. Given Hyeri’s comment, “Funny,” speculation about the possibility of “jumping ships” began to swirl.
Dispatch’s investigations revealed that Ryu Jun Yeol and Hyeri had grown distant since June of the previous year. Significantly, Ryu Jun Yeol was notably absent from Hyeri’s birthday party. An insider shared with Dispatch, “The two have always kept their dating life private. But it was palpable. They used to be in constant touch… But the frequency of their calls and messages began to dwindle. Everyone sensed something off when Ryu Jun Yeol skipped Hyeri’s birthday party.”
The decision to officially part ways came in early November, marking the end of a seven-year relationship. The breakup announcement followed shortly thereafter. It was during his solo photography exhibition on November 15th that Ryu Jun Yeol first crossed paths with Han So Hee.
For Hyeri, the situation could understandably feel like a betrayal, especially since the announcement of their breakup in November was followed by Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee’s Hawaiian getaway in less than four months.
From Han So Hee’s perspective, the developments were equally bewildering. Their initial meeting at the November exhibition was not immediately romantic. The bond formed as they delved into discussions about work, gradually becoming enchanted with one another.
Ryu Jun Yeol also found himself in a delicate position. Encountering new love, yet mindful to clarify it wasn’t cheating, he was undoubtedly conflicted when their relationship came to light and while they were still in Hawaii at that.
The inception of Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee’s relationship was met with mixed reactions. Love is not a crime, yet they found themselves scrutinized as if they were. In fact, Ryu Jun Yeol, Han So Hee, and her friend quickly finished their meal when recognized by Korean newlyweds at the restaurant. The atmosphere remained somber as they made their way back, with Han So Hee’s friend offering comfort and Ryu Jun Yeol walking a step behind, enveloped in the complexities of their emerging love story.
