Actor Ryu Jun-yeol (37) appeared as a caddy at a major golf tournament despite controversy over ‘greenwashing’ (pretending to be eco-friendly when in reality it is not). Last month, after her romantic relationship with Han So-hee (29) was acknowledged, criticism poured in, saying that the fact that the public relations ambassador for an environmental group is a ‘golf fanatic’ is double-minded, and once again became the center of attention.
Ryu Jun-yeol appeared in the par 3 contest held at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, USA on the 10th (local time). The par 3 contest is an event held before the opening of the Masters. Players participating in the competition entrust their caddies to family members, lovers, or friends and enjoy the event. This is the third time that a domestic celebrity has appeared as a caddy at this event, after Lee Seung-cheol (2011) and Bae Yong-jun (2015).
On this day, Ryu Jun-yeol appeared wearing a white jumpsuit and a green hat, carrying Kim Joo-hyung’s golf bag. An event was also held where a caddy took a tee shot on behalf of the player, and Ryu Jun-yeol succeeded in hitting a ‘one-on’ (hitting the ball on the green in one shot) on the 9th hole. He held a ceremony after making par with two putts. Afterwards, Kim Joo-hyung posted a photo of them together on Instagram, saying, “It was nice to make good memories with my brother.”
When local reporters asked about his thoughts, he was cautious, perhaps because he was aware of the controversy over his transit love affair with Han So-hee and their breakup. “In the current situation, I would like to refrain from saying anything,” she said. “If necessary, I may ask the agency and respond in writing.”
Ryu Jun-yeol has supported the international environmental organization Greenpeace since 2016. After being appointed as a public relations ambassador in April last year, he also called for action to respond to climate change through the campaign ‘I am a polar bear’. As the aftermath of the recent romantic relationship broke out, sparks flew at Greenpeace as well. When the fact that Ryu Jun-yeol enjoys playing golf, which causes environmental pollution, came to the spotlight, her Greenpeace sponsorship was canceled one after another. On the 21st of last month, Greenpeace said, “PR ambassadorship is a volunteer activity based on an individual’s good will,” but said, “We will review our internal regulations.”
On the 15th of last month, eyewitness reports spread that Ryu Jun-yeol and Han So-hee were spending time together at a hotel in Hawaii, USA. At the time, both parties did not acknowledge their romantic relationship, but Ryu Jun-yeol’s former lover, Hyeri (29), a former member of the group ‘Girl’s Day’, wrote on SNS, “It’s fun,” raising suspicions about her transit love relationship. Afterwards, Han So-hee posted a picture of a dog holding a knife on social media and said, “I like transit love programs, but they are not in my life. It’s fun for me too,” she wrote. Afterwards, Ryu Jun-yeol and Han So-hee acknowledged their relationship, but noise continued to arise. Eventually, the two broke up after two weeks of going public with their relationship.
