Han So-hee’s agency “We will take strong action against indiscriminate malicious comments”

The agency 9ato Entertainment said on March 18th through an official statement, “Han So-hee is grateful for the public’s interest as she holds the profession of an actress and has been striving to repay the love and support sent by many. However, she is currently going through a mentally difficult time due to indiscriminate speculative posts and malicious comments written about her as an individual before being an actress.“

The agency emphasized, “In relation to this, we would like to emphasize that our agency will strongly respond to any actions that tarnish or damage the artist’s honor, regardless of the severity of malicious content.” They added, “Our agency and the actress are deeply reflecting on the concerns caused to many during the announcement process of the relationship and will thoroughly examine the situation to ensure that the artist can move forward in the right direction, and we will make every effort to protect the artist.”

Meanwhile, Han So-hee faced criticism for her emotionally driven and hasty response after rumors of her relationship with actor Ryu Jun-yeol surfaced recently. When rumors of a transit relationship spread, she posted a message seemingly targeting Hyeri’s post, saying, “I don’t even like people who already have partners. I don’t leave them gaps under the guise of friendship. I have not shown care, formed relationships, or intruded into others’ relationships. I like the program ‘Transit Love’, but it’s not part of my life. I find it interesting, too.“

Following the controversy, Han So-hee apologized through her blog, stating “It was so pathetic. All I needed was to stay still, but I guessed I went out of my mind for a moment after hearing various rumors like the ‘transit love’ one even though I didn’t want to see any of them and showed such a disrespectful attitude” before closing her blog.
