Hyeri releases an apology statement amid Ryu Jun-Yeol & Han So-Hee dating controversy
Hyeri has shared a note on her official Instagram handle apologizing for her “minor actions.” Although, she has not specified the nature of these “actions.”
Her statement reads, “Hello. This is Hyeri. First, I sincerely apologize for the speculations and controversies that arose over the past few days due to my personal emotions. I think I failed to consider the ripple effects that each of my minor actions could have. I sincerely apologize to anyone who was harmed because of me.”
Further, she mentions, “Last November, the news was released that my eight-year relationship came to an end. It was not a decision made in a short period of time, and even after the breakup news came out, we had a conversation about talking more [about our situation]. However, we have not had any contact or met since that conversation. And four months later, I think my emotions after coming across a new article were perceived not as actress Lee Hyeri but as just Lee Hyeri.”
In the end, Hyeri apologizes to her fans for creating “confusion.” She added, “I apologize once again for causing harm with my impulsive emotions. Over the past few days, I didn’t explain the reason for my actions because I thought that our conversations were overly personal, and it would only increase fatigue [to the public]. If this caused confusion for anyone, I am also sorry for that. Moving forward, I will be more careful with my words and actions. Thank you. (I will delete this post soon. Thank you.)”
