• Hyeri Addresses Speculation Surrounding Ryu Joon Yeol's Alleged New Relationship with Han So Hee After Their Breakup

    Hyeri, Ryu Joon Yeol's ex-girlfriend, has publicly addressed the speculation surrounding Ryu Joon Yeol and Han So Hee's rumored relationship for the first time.

    Here is the full statement from Hyeri's SNS:

    "Hello, this is Hyeri. First, I sincerely apologize for the speculation and controversy that have arisen due to my personal emotions over the past few days. I think I failed to consider the impact that even my smallest actions could have. I sincerely apologize to anyone who has been harmed by my actions. In November, it was reported that my 8-year relationship had ended. This decision was not made hastily, and even after the breakup was reported, we talked about possibly discussing things further. However, we have not had any contact or meetings since that conversation. And 4 months later, the emotions I felt after seeing new reports seemed to be perceived not as actress Lee Hyeri, but simply as Hyeri. I am sorry once again for causing harm through a momentary emotion. The reason I have not spoken about my actions over the last few days is because our conversations were too private, and I thought it might only increase fatigue. If this caused confusion for anyone, I am sorry for that as well. Going forward, I will be more careful with my words and actions. Thank you.

    (This post will be deleted shortly. Thank you.)"

    The backdrop to these developments is the swirling speculation that Ryu Joon Yeol may have begun a relationship with Han So Hee as a form of rebound, even before formally ending his relationship with Hyeri, which led to public speculation.

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
