In late 2023, fans noticed that Hyeri and Ryu Jun yeol were using matching phone cases, which had their initials on them - 'H' and 'R' for Hyeri, and 'J' and 'Y' for Ryu Jun-yeol. This caught the attention of netizens, especially when they shared pictures of them on Instagram shortly before announcing their breakup.
Fans first spotted the matching phone cases in Instagram posts on November 10, 2023. This sparked rumors about the status of their relationship.
Even after confirming their breakup, both Hyeri and Ryu Jun-yeol continued to use the matching cases into early 2024. Ryu Jun-yeol posted a picture with his case in January, and Hyeri did the same in February.
The fact that they still used these matching phone cases after breaking up got fans and netizens talking. Especially when Hyeri stopped following Ryu Jun-yeol on Instagram in March 2024. People debated when exactly they broke up because sometimes they posted similar things on the same day.
- Many people continue to wear couple items even after breaking up...
- I used to wear the Gucci couple ring even after breaking up. It's funny how many people still wear it even if they didn't engrave their initials. The same goes for sneakers too.
- According to Han So-hee, they said they broke up early last year, but uploading a couple phone case photos on Instagram on the same day in November doesn't make sense, does it?
- Are celebrities really that different from normal people? I totally forgot it was a couple items and just posted it. Plus, after being together for seven years, there are probably so many couple items, how do you even distinguish and get rid of them one by one?
- Even if you've broken up, you could still have a couple items, but isn't posting them on your social media a bit risky?
It seems like Hyeri changed her phone case around mid-February this year. The one in front, isn't it her own phone case?
