Actor Ryu Jun-yeol (40) was unexpectedly spotted at the Cannes Film Festival, drawing attention for his cool reaction when his former girlfriend Han So-hee (33) was mentioned.

A representative from a Japanese distribution company, identified as A, shared an anecdote about meeting Ryu Jun-yeol in the Cannes area on the 13th (Korea time) on his X (formerly Twitter) account. Ryu Jun-yeol also attended the 79th Cannes Film Festival, which opened on the 12th (local time). However, Ryu visited not as an actor in an invited film but as a film industry professional, wearing a badge he had applied for and received in advance.

Representative A shared the sighting, saying, "I met Ryu Jun-yeol at the Cannes Film Festival. He must have come as a buyer."

Notably, he added, "When I told him I had distributed Korean films, he asked which ones. I thought it might be awkward to mention a movie starring Han So-hee (since there had been reports of their romance), but when I said 'Heavy Snow,' he replied, 'Of course I know Han So-hee's movie! It's so fun!' and laughed heartily while talking." This revealed Ryu Jun-yeol's generous and open personality.

'Heavy Snow' is the English title of Han So-hee's screen debut film 'Snowfall' (2024).

Ryu Jun-yeol ended his seven-year public relationship with Hye-ri in November 2023, then began a second public romance with Han So-hee in March 2024. However, at the time, his former girlfriend Hye-ri posted a cryptic message on social media saying, "That's fun," sparking rumors of a "transfer romance" with Han So-hee. Ultimately, Ryu Jun-yeol broke up with Han So-hee just two weeks after the romance news broke.

Although it was a sensational issue that turned the world upside down, Ryu Jun-yeol soon shook it off and appears to be focusing on his main profession.

Ryu Jun-yeol is scheduled to appear with viewers in the second half of this year in Netflix's new original series 'The Rat,' in which he will share the screen with actor Seol Kyeong-gu.
