On March 18, Hyeri responded to the many controversies surrounding her past Instagram post as well as her relationship with Ryu Jun Yeol. In her post Hyeri revealed that she and Ryu Jun Yeol had agreed to further discuss their relationship even after reports of their breakup were released, but that they never spoke or saw each other since their breakup.
“Hello, this is Hyeri.
First, I would like to apologize for the controversies and speculations caused by my own emotions. At the time, I didn’t know the consequences each of my small actions could bring. I would like to sincerely apologize to the people who were affected by my actions.
Last November, reports were published stating that my 8-year relationship was over. The decision to end our relationship wasn’t made quickly, and even after the articles were published, we spoke about further discussing our relationship.
However, after that conversation, we have never spoken and have never seen each other. I think when I read the news (of his new relationship) 4 months later, I received the news as Lee Hyeri, the person rather than the actress. Again, I would like to apologize for causing harm due to my emotions.
The reason I have been silent on the issue is that our conversations were very personal, and I felt that they would cause more exhaustion. I again apologize to those who were confused by my silence.
In the future, I will be more cautious with my words and actions.”
