The Matchmaker for Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol Has Been Revealed? 

On the morning of March 18, Dispatch unexpectedly published an article clarifying important timelines in the relationships of Ryu Jun-yeol – Hyeri and Ryu Jun-yeol – Han So-hee. 

According to Dispatch, Han So-hee did not discreetly have an affair with Ryu Jun-yeol behind Hyeri’s back. Additionally, the identity of the person who acted as the matchmaker for Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol was also revealed to be photographer Park Ye-eun.

In particular, insiders revealed that Ryu Jun-yeol met Han So-hee for the first time at his personal photo exhibition, which was held on November 15 last year. Leading Han So-hee to the exhibition was photographer Park Ye-eun. It is known that Park Ye-eun is very close to Han So-hee and also knows a lot about Ryu Jun-yeol. This photographer is also among the five people who participated in the famous Hawaii trip of Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol.

Recently, Dispatch has released a series of exclusive photos from the Hawaii date of Han So-hee and the actor from Reply 1988. In front of the camera, the couple appeared distant, showing clearly unhappy expressions. A friend can also be seen constantly patting Han So-hee’s back to comfort her.

In fact, images of Han So-hee in Hawaii even evoked suspicions against her due to a recurring habit. 

Meanwhile, according to Dispatch, Ryu Jun-yeol and Hyeri have drifted apart since June 2023, and Ryu Jun-yeol did not attend Hyeri’s birthday party on June 9. 

A person close to the former couple also revealed, “Usually, both of them don’t share much about their love affairs. But even when they said nothing, I could still feel that atmosphere. I contacted them often, and I noticed that they were using the phone less and less. But Ryu Jun-yeol did not attend Hyeri’s birthday party. Everyone can feel that something is wrong ever since.”

Dispatch also asserted that from June to September 2023, Ryu Jun-yeol and Hyeri almost did not contact each other. In November 2023, they decided to break up for real. After that, Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol met for the first time at the art exhibition on November 15 of the same year.

All in all, Dispatch concluded that although Han So-hee did not have an affair with Ryu Jun-yeol, this situation inevitably makes netizens think of a “transit love”. Transit love is a popular term in Korea, referring to someone being infatuated with someone else while having a partner, and quickly starting a relationship with their infatuation after breaking up with the old partner without any “downtime”. After breaking up with Hyeri, Ryu Jun-yeol met Han So-hee, and about 2-3 months later, the actor realized his feelings for the actress. Both of them entered into a relationship at the beginning of 2024.

On the other hand, media site News1 claimed that when they contacted Ryu Jun-yeol and Hyeri in August last year, the couple denied having broken up – contradicting claims of the two of them breaking up in June. 

As a result, many netizens still remain vigilant and hold onto the previous cheating allegations against Ryu Jun-yeol and Han So-hee.
