Recently, it was revealed that Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol were together in Hawaii. Late last year, he and his girlfriend of seven years, Girl’s Day‘s Hyeri, reportedly split. So, netizens have alleged that he left Hyeri for So Hee.

Han So Hee retorted to such rumors with a post on Instagram Stories that many believed to be a direct response to Hyeri, who had previously posted “how funny” (also can be interpreted as “interesting”) via her own social media. In the post, Han So Hee claimed that while she thought “transit” dating programs were “funny,” she doesn’t like men who already have a significant other. She added a meme of a dog holding a knife.

I don’t like people who have a lover,
nor do I give them space, interest,
or establish a relationship under
the guise of friendship,
nor do I meddle in other
people’s relationships.
I like transit dating programs,
but they’re not a part of my life

I find it funny, too.

— Han So Hee

Since Han So Hee posted this, many netizens found issue with it. Her controversial statement reminded some of her past comments when she guested on Glorious Life as a Devotee, hosted by Hong Jin Kyung, to promote Soundtrack #1 with Park Hyung Sik. The K-Drama is about friends turning into lovers.

The conversation started with Hong Jin Kyung saying that men and women cannot be friends without one having feelings for the other. So Hee responded by saying that she actually has several guy friends, to which Hong said that one might like Han.

Hong Jin Kyung: I heard that guys don’t keep girls as “just friends” unless they have some kind of feelings for them.

Han So Hee: Oh, really? But I have a lot of guy friends.

Instantly, Han So Hee rebuked this. Just imagining one of her friends having feelings for her gave her the “ick.”

Hong Jin Kyung: Maybe one of them is hiding their feelings for you.

Han So Hee: Oh, gosh, no. Even thinking about it gives me the ick. [Waves her hand in front of her]

Han So Hee then shared a personal story. She explained that sometimes, her male friend’s girlfriend did not understand their friendship due to this concern that men and women cannot be platonic friends.

But I’ve seen cases like… A friend of mine would be in a relationship and their partner didn’t like the whole concept of guy friends or girl friends. I’ve seen that before.

By the end, the conversation was laughed off after MC Hong Jin Kyung joked that it would be “okay” if a boyfriend’s female friend were her but not Han So Hee.
