K-media is swirling reports suggesting that former Girl’s Day member-turned-K-drama actress Hyeri has been dating dancer Wootae for over a year. While the actress is celebrated for her acclaimed contributions to hit South Korean shows like Reply 1988, My Roommate is a Gumiho and most recently Friendly Rivalry, the latter public figure is widely renowned for his appearance on the dance reality show Street Man Fighter.
The duo is said to have grown closer following their initial acquaintance on the set of the 2024 Korean film Victory. Lee Hyeri led the star cast, joining forces with her colleagues Park Se Wan, Lee Jung Ha and Jo Aram (aka Hyeyeon). Meanwhile, Wootae worked as a choreography instructor for the ensemble alongside fellow dancer Kinky.
Hyeri’s agency, Sublime Artist Agency, has since responded to the romance rumours, saying that it is difficult to confirm the relationship as of now since it concerns the K-drama star’s private life. More details are awaited.
Hyeri dating rumours emerge after public relationship with Ryu Jun Yeol
These reports revolving around Hyeri’s personal and romantic life follow her previous romance with Reply 1988 co-star Ryu Jun Yeol. After being together for nearly eight years, they announced their breakup in November 2023.
Despite the time elapsed since they went their separate ways, the former couple again became the focus of headlines last year as reports of Ryu dating actress Han So Hee came to the top. The whole thing turned into a whirlwind controversy after Hyeri posted a cryptic Instagram Story, saying, “This is funny.” The growing complications prompted speculations about the timeline of Jun Yeol and Hyeri’s prior relationship.
After a string of social media turbulence between the actress, further fuelled by netizens’ reactions, even Han and Ryu broke up shortly after their short-lived relationship was confirmed.
