The whole debacle seems childish and yes, HSH didn’t handle it well.
BUT I agreed with her actions when she said something rather than keeping silent the entire time. Why? Because as the accused “third-party” she has more to lose than all parties combined. Regardless of what Hye Ri meant with her cryptic post, people were pointing fingers at HSH already. Since her ex didn’t speak up for her, she can only depend on herself to clear her name and reputation. The way she went about it, however, was not the best PR. She should’ve only addressed that she’s not the 3rd party and only state facts of her relationship, to stay objective.
