Han So Hee - Ryu Jun Yeol's Romance In Hawaii Revealed
On March 18, media outlet Dispatch released exclusive photos of Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol, capturing the actors' romance in their Hawaii trip.
Earlier this month, the two confirmed their relationship after being spotted vacationing together in Hawaii, which became a huge spectacle in the online Hallyu scene.
Rumors of a "transit love" emerged as it's only been 4 months since Ryu Jun Yeol announced his breakup with ex-girlfriend Girl's Day Hyeri.
At the height of the issue, the news outlet revealed the photos of Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol spending time together in Hawaii after acknowledging their romantic relationship.
In one photo, Han So Hee is seen walking with a friend who accompanied her on the trip. Meanwhile, Ryu Jun Yeol is two steps behind the two while sporting an anxious expression.
In the other picture, Han So Hee only kept looking at her phone while Ryu Jun Yeol focused on eating while they were at the restaurant. While this enlightened some fans, it also poured criticisms.
"So the two were really together while Han So Hee had a meltdown in her blog?" one netizen commented. "Why has Ryu Jun Yeol not spoken up yet?"
Many comments in online communities criticized Ryu Jun Yeol for keeping his peace while Han So Hee took massive hits from defending herself as well as the actor. At the moment, the actress turned her personal Instagram account private.
