According to insiders, Ryu Jun-yeol and Hyeri made the decision to "break" their relationship as early as February of last year

Rumors that Han So Hee, Ryu Jun-yeol, and actress Hyeri were in a "transit relationship" have been dispelled by industry sources.

Previously, Hyeri stated that she "had initially agreed to talk things out with Ryu Jun Yeol after the breakup reports in November of 2023, but in the end, they did not meet or contact each other after that agreement."

Some online users conjectured that Ryu Jun Yeol had not ended things amicably with Hyeri before starting a new relationship with Han So Hee, in part because of Hyeri's statement that they had decided to try and "talk things out," when dating rumors about the two surfaced last week.

Industry sources, however, claim that Hyeri's statement that she and Ryu Jun Yeol would "talk things out" was only a formality and not an indication of any unresolved love between the two celebrities

Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol reportedly chose to take a "break" from their romance in February 2023 while Hyeri was preoccupied with filming her movie "Victory," according to news sources dated March 21 KST. As Ryu Joon Yeol failed to show up on Hyeri's birthday in June, the "break"—which was essentially code for a "break up"—was revealed.
