The Korean entertainment industry was recently abuzz with the 'transit love' controversy surrounding actors Ryu Jun Yeol, Han So Hee, and Hyeri. The controversy ignited after dating rumors between Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee emerged from Hawaii sightings, followed by Ryu Jun Yeol's ex-girlfriend Hyeri posting a short message, "It's fun," on her social media. This post, coupled with her unfollowing Ryu Jun Yeol on social media, fueled public speculation about a 'transit love' scenario.
Ryu Jun Yeol and Hyeri, who met through the drama 'Reply 1988,' had been in a public relationship for seven years before officially announcing their breakup in November 2023. In March 2024, sightings of Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee together in Hawaii led to dating rumors. Initially, both agencies stated it was a private matter, but following Hyeri's "It's fun" post, Han So Hee directly addressed the rumors on her blog, confirming her relationship with Ryu Jun Yeol while denying any 'transit love.' She clarified that she and Ryu Jun Yeol confirmed their feelings only after his relationship with Hyeri had ended, and Hyeri later also posted a clarification.
This incident garnered significant public attention due to the direct communication and explanations from the three actors via social media, culminating in the swift breakup of Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee. Bloggers have meticulously analyzed the detailed timeline of events, from the end of a seven-year relationship to the beginning of a new one and the social media exchanges, deeming it a particularly memorable dating scandal in the entertainment industry.
