The actress confirmed dating Ryu on Saturday, just one day after rumors spread about their romance, following a social media post claiming they were spotted together in Hawaii.

Some people speculated that Ryu might have cheated on actress Lee Hye-ri, widely known as Hyeri, whom he broke up with last year after a seven-year relationship. They suggested that the two began seeing each other before the split.

Han strongly denied the speculation on her blog but eventually removed her posts due to the onslaught of hateful comments. (Yonhap)
