Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee's unwelcomed start and public scrutiny in Hawaii
Dispatch' took a flight to Hawaii and captured the first date of Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee, right after they officially acknowledged their relationship. According to Dispatch, it didn't seem seem like Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee was having much fun.
Han So Hee was more into her phone than her food while Ryu Jun Yeol silently ate his meal
In Hawaii, Han So Hee walked looking at the ground while Ryu Jun Yeol walked looking at the back of her head.
While Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee's first date in Hawaii was being confirmed, in Korea, Ryu Jun Yeol and Hyeri's last meeting was being covered.
According to 'Dispatch's investigation, the two had grown distant since June last year. In fact, Ryu Jun Yeol did not attend Hyeri's birthday.
A close source to both of them told 'Dispatch' about the atmosphere at that time."The two of them usually don't share their love life. But (even without saying) you can feel it. They used to contact each other frequently... but the time spent looking at the phone gradually decreased. And Ryu Jun Yeol didn't come to Hyeri's birthday party. Everyone sensed something was off."
But their connection lasted 7 years. It seems neither of them could bring themselves to mention 'breaking up'. Summer passed, and then fall (September) did too. It's said there was almost no contact or meetings in between.
The two decided to 'really' break up in early November. They put an end to their 7 years of love.
The announcement of their breakup came around that time too.
According to sources Ryu Jun Yeol first greeted Han So Hee at his photo exhibition on November 15th. It was the photographer Park Ye-eun who led Han So Hee to the photo exhibition. He is close friends with Han So Hee and also knows Ryu Jun Yeol well.
Of course, Hyeri might feel betrayed. After all, they announced their breakup in November, and it hasn't even been 4 months before they went to Hawaii.
From Han So Hee's perspective, it could be absurd. They met for the first time at a November exhibition, but it wasn't love at first sight. They were 'charmed' by each other while talking about work.
From Ryu Jun Yeol's perspective, it must have been awkward. He found a new love, but it wasn't a rebound relationship, yet he felt sorry and complicated that the love was exposed in Hawaii.
Ryu Jun Yeol boarded a plane back to Korea on the 17th and his steps seemed heavy.
The beginning of Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee was not well-received by the public. Although love is not a 'crime', they had to be cautious of the reactions.
