[Sports Chosun Online, Reporter Lee Woo-joo] Singer and actress Hyeri attended her first official event after dealing with a malicious commenter incident.
On the afternoon of the 17th, Hyeri appeared at the Elle Style Awards photocall event held at S Factory in Seongsu-dong, Seoul. Wearing a sparkling dress, Hyeri captivated everyone with her stunning beauty. This event was particularly noteworthy as it marked her first official appearance after the malicious commenter incident.
After the event, Hyeri posted, “Today, sparkling best style icon Hyeri is starting to feel the year-end vibe. I’ve worked hard all year, and I’ll keep working hard next year as well.”
Recently, a private account that had continuously left malicious comments on Hyeri’s social media gained attention in online communities. The account owner, established in March, left severe comments like, “Even combined, you and Ryu Jun-yeol are nothing,” “The intelligence level to think you could reach 17 million,” and “Must have been pleased to receive many likes due to Han So-hee, though they’ve all disappeared now.”
The controversy deepened when Jeon Jong-seo followed the account, leading to suspicions that it might belong to Han So-hee. Jeon Jong-seo is known to be close to Han So-hee, and the profile picture of the malicious account matched a photograph of Saturn previously posted by Han So-hee. Furthermore, Han So-hee had displayed emotional responses during the course of her relationship with Ryu Jun-yeol, Hyeri’s ex-boyfriend, heightening the suspicions.
In response, Jeon Jong-seo’s agency, ANDMARQ, stated it was difficult to verify as it pertains to personal matters, while Han So-hee clarified that the account was not hers. Despite these clarifications, the controversy persisted, prompting Han So-hee’s side to state, “The SNS account exposed by the media does not belong to actress Han So-hee, and if proven untrue, we will take full legal responsibility.”
