The Love Triangle Scandal
Hyeri has been in the news recently for both her personal life and her movie. Her co-star in the hit drama Reply 1988, actor Ryu Joon Yeol, and she had previously been in a well-publicised romance. The seven-year affair between the couple, who went public with their relationship in 2017, came to an end in November of last year.
It was made public that Ryu Joon Yeol had started dating actress Han So Hee shortly after their split. Hyeri's "Interesting" social media comment on this development set up a love triangle scandal that the media immediately came to refer to as the "Interesting Clash." There was a flurry of media coverage and public conjecture following this scandal.
Hyeri's Concerns About the Scandal
"I will address this briefly," Hyeri said in response to the incident during her interview. I won't be able to say much more on this topic, but I will speak for two minutes." "My main concern is that these personal matters might overshadow my film Victory, which I truly love and even shed tears for during the press screening," she said, expressing her fear that the scandal might eclipse her upcoming release. I worry that people will pay more attention to these conversations than to the movie itself."
Hyeri also thought back on her previous deeds, adding, in a direct but succinct manner, "But if I think back to that time, as a person, Hyeri, I believe that was how I genuinely felt, and that's why I acted the way I did."
Victory is scheduled for release on August 14, 2024, and despite the continuous media attention Hyeri believes her personal life would get, the film will get the attention it deserves.
