At a lavish production presentation for the much-anticipated Netflix original series 'The 8 Show', actor Ryu Jun-yeol took the stage alongside esteemed director Han Jae-rim and a stellar cast.

The event, held at a hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul, featured insights into the intriguing narrative of the show, promising viewers a captivating blend of politics, economy, and primal desires.

In the wake of his public relationship with actress Han So-hee, Ryu Jun-yeol found himself embroiled in a whirlwind of controversy surrounding a suspected transit love affair.

While his former partner and others took to social media to express their positions, the actor chose a different path, opting for silence amidst the storm.

Reflecting on his decision to remain silent, Ryu Jun-yeol revealed, "Due to the issue of privacy, several posts were posted on social media against my will at the time, and I thought it would be best to remain silent and deal with the resulting criticism rather than respond to them."

This statement offers insight into his rationale during a tumultuous period of public scrutiny.
