Han So Hee accused of being Hyeri’s online troll, sparks controversy

Is actress Han So Hee really an “Anti-Fan” of Hyeri?

Actress Han So Hee is caught up in allegations that she has been leaving malicious comments directed at fellow actress Hyeri.

On October 16th KST, rumors emerged online that a private Instagram account, consistently leaving negative comments on Hyeri’s official Instagram, might belong to Han So Hee.

The account in question, under the username “catsaretheavengers,” has been making derogatory remarks about Hyeri while also mentioning Han So Hee and their mutual ex-boyfriend, Ryu Joon Yeol. The comments exhibit typical behavior of an online troll, crossing boundaries with their negative remarks.

One reason many suspect Han So Hee to be behind the account is that Han So Hee’s close friend, Jeon Jong Seo, follows the problematic account. Jeon Jong Seo follows only 19 people, including Han So Hee, Son Suk Goo, Jang Yoon Joo, and others, among whom is the account targeting Hyeri. The account owner also follows Han So Hee, further fueling the speculation that it could be a secret account run by Han So Hee.

Additionally, the account’s profile picture has raised suspicions. In July, Han So Hee posted a similar photo of Saturn on her public Instagram account, which matches the profile picture of the anonymous account. The post also included a photo of Han So Hee taking a picture with a phone encased in a cat-shaped case.

Moreover, the timing of the account’s creation—March of this year, when rumors about Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol’s relationship and the subsequent “transfer relationship” involving Hyeri surfaced—has further fueled these suspicions.

Regarding these allegations, Jeon Jong Seo’s agency, ANDMARQ, commented, “It’s difficult to confirm as it involves personal matters.” Meanwhile, Han So Hee’s agency, 9ATO Entertainment, issued a statement saying, “This account in question that has been mentioned in the media is not an alternative account belonging to actress Han So Hee.”
