In early March, Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol were offered roles in the project “Delusion.” Shortly after news of their casting offers, rumors of their dating surfaced.

However, two weeks later, on March 30, both agencies confirmed the couple’s breakup, citing their desire to prioritize their acting careers and avoid emotional strain from personal matters.
