On April 11th, actor Ryu Jun-yeol made a public appearance as a caddie at the Par 3 Contest alongside Kim Joo-hyun. Despite recent dating controversies, Ryu Jun-yeol exuded a bright demeanor, posing for photos with Kim Joo-Hyun and engaging with the audience.
However, when probed about his sentiments regarding the event, Ryu Jun-yeol sidestepped direct commentary, stating, “I prefer to keep my thoughts private for now,” and redirecting queries to his agency for written responses.
Ryu Jun-yeol has faced public scrutiny for his handling of personal matters, notably his romantic relationships. Criticism mounted as he refrained from addressing his breakup with Han So-hee directly, relying on agency statements instead.
This drew further attention when his ex-partner Hyeri commented on the news of his new relationship with Han So-hee, later issuing an apology. Han So-hee also clarified misunderstandings, yet Ryu Jun-yeol refrained from addressing the situation personally.
In addition to relationship controversies, Ryu Jun-yeol faced criticism over his role as a Greenpeace ambassador, particularly due to his love for golf—a sport known for its environmental impact. Despite the backlash, Ryu Jun-yeol remained silent on the matter, leaving Greenpeace to address concerns and promise a review of ambassador regulations.
With upcoming promotions for Netflix’s original series “The 8 Show,” Ryu Jun-yeol’s public appearances will likely intensify. All eyes are now on whether he will directly confront these controversies during the drama’s press conference, where reporters anticipate insights from the actor himself.
