On the afternoon of the 17th, Hyeri attended the Elle Style Awards photocall event, displaying a bright smile.
After winning the Best Style Icon Woman category, she said, “I’m so happy to receive such a wonderful award. While preparing to come here today, I thought about what I’ve done this year. I launched a YouTube channel and filmed the movie “Tropical Night”. I did the variety show “Agents of Mystery” and released “Victory”. Now I’m filming a drama called “Friendly Rivalry.”
Hyeri continued, “I think I received this award for living diligently with various appearances for a year. Next year, I hope to meet you all again with an even more diligent and pretty appearance,” concluding her acceptance speech.
Hyeri also posted on her personal account, “Today, I’m the sparkling Best Style Icon Hye-ri,” adding, “The year-end atmosphere is slowly coming. I’ve lived diligently for a year. I must live diligently next year too,” showing her determination. Girls’ Day member Yura also sent applause to congratulate Hyeri’s award.
Meanwhile, Hyeri’s name has recently been circulating due to a malicious commenter incident. Recently, online communities buzzed with the discovery that an account followed by actress Jeon Jong-seo had left malicious comments on Hyeri’s personal account posts. The situation escalated when suspicions arose that the account operator might be Han So-hee, leading to public criticism.
Later on, Jeon Jong-seo’s agency responded that “it’s impossible to confirm as it’s a private matter,” while Han So-hee‘s agency strongly denied it, releasing two statements. In one of the statements, Han So-hee’s agency stated in a somewhat strong tone, “The SNS account exposed in the media is not Han So-hee’s account, and we will take full legal responsibility if this is not true.”
Before this, Hyeri had engaged in an online dispute with Han So-hee. It became a hot topic when Han So-hee acknowledged her relationship with Ryu Jun-yeol earlier this year, and Hyeri, Ryu Jun-yeol’s ex-girlfriend, left a comment saying “Interesting.” Subsequently, even after breaking up with Ryu Jun-yeol, Han So-hee continued to express her stance online, causing controversy.
