Hyeri has addressed the recent situation surrounding her previous relationship through a statement shared on her Instagram account.

On March 15, Hyeri posted a cryptic message on her Instagram Stories, sparking speculation about her relationship with Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol. This led to various interpretations and discussions among netizens. In response, Han So Hee also posted on her Instagram, seemingly addressing the rumours.

Subsequently, Han So Hee confirmed her relationship with Ryu Jun Yeol, providing clarification on the situation and expressing her intention to apologize to Hyeri for her previous Instagram post.

On March 18, Hyeri took to her own Instagram to issue an apology and share her statement regarding the matter:

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.

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.
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.)
