Ryu Jun Yeol and Hyeri's relationship reality revealed; accusations of 'Love Triangle' and 'Transfer' debunked by close sources

The love life of actor Ryu Jun Yeol has become the subject of intense speculation, with accusations of a ‘love triangle controversy’ involving his ex-girlfriend Hyeri and his alleged new flame, actress Han So Hee. The situation took a turn as many accused Ryu Jun Yeol of executing what's colloquially termed a ‘transfer’ - swiftly moving on from one relationship to another.


The saga unfolded with revelations from Hyeri herself, who asserted in her statement addressing the matter that despite officially parting ways with Ryu Jun Yeol in November 2023, they had maintained communication. Their relationship, spanning eight years, had ostensibly extended beyond its formal end, with both parties agreeing to ongoing discussions about their shared history. However, the plot thickened when Hyeri discovered through media reports that Ryu Jun Yeol had started on a romantic journey with Han So Hee.

The public outcry was swift, with netizens accusing Ryu Jun Yeol of stringing Hyeri along with false hopes. A report by TV Daily on March 21, further fanned the flames, citing sources close to both individuals who revealed that their interactions had been sparse, limited to a single meeting in 2023. Allegedly, their relationship had been teetering on the brink for some time, with the official breakup only formalized in November.

According to Koreaboo, "They only met up just once in the past year. They both simply put off announcing the breakup. They decided to both take time to think about it in February 2023", shared a source privy to the situation.
According to these sources, what some termed a ‘break’ was essentially a euphemism for a breakup. As Hyeri focused on filming her movie Victory in Geoje, geographical distance led to the emotional chasm between them. Rumors of their split began circulating in June, worsened when Ryu Jun Yeol failed to mark Hyeri's birthday, fueling speculation. Although they vehemently denied the breakup through their respective agencies in August 2023, insiders claim they merely postponed a public acknowledgment.

The narrative presented by these sources posits that their prolonged relationship dynamics made it challenging to publicly declare a split. Moreover, while Ryu Jun Yeol agreed to further discussions with Hyeri, it didn't signify a desire to reignite their romance.


"It’s not a one-sided breakup. They only met once last year. They had already grown apart. Wouldn’t Hyeri have known that when he said 'let’s talk about it more,' it was just a formality? It’s too much to guess that it was a 'transfer'", the sources contended.
