According to NewsAfter publicly confirming the end of his relationship with Ryu on Saturday, Han responded to a fan’s comment that read, “Well done. Dealing with someone who always stays silent and avoids everything must have been extremely difficult for you. I wish your speedy recovery.”
In his response, Han said, “Precisely, the other party remained silent while I tried to handle the situation as best I could.
This response is seen as an allusion to Ryu’s silence after their relationship was publicly revealed on March 16, just months after he split from singer and actress Lee Hyeri, his ex-girlfriend of eight years. This sequence of events sparked allegations against Han for allegedly interfering in Ryu’s previous relationship with Lee.
Han previously responded to these speculations by clarifying that her relationship with Ryu began only after she learned of her breakup with Lee in June last year. Nonetheless, some members of online communities pointed out that Ryu and Lee’s breakup was actually announced in November last year, raising questions about the accuracy of Han’s statements.
Afterwards, Han addressed Lee on social media on Friday, reaffirming her non-involvement in Ryu and Lee’s previous relationship and expressing frustration over the negative scrutiny she believes she faced from the audience. This post was deleted shortly after publication.
The subsequent announcement of Ryu and Han’s separation thus marked the end of their romance just two weeks after it was confirmed.
At 30, Han received praise for his role in the 2020 South Korean television series “The World of the Married.” She is also recognized for her resemblance to famous actress Song Hye Kyo.
Ryu, 38, rose to fame through his participation in the South Korean television series “Reply 1988”, where he starred alongside his ex-girlfriend Lee. He led an active career alongside his businesses.
