Former Girl's Day member actress Hyeri (Lee Hyeri) has been embroiled in dating rumors with dancer Woo Tae, while her agency has taken a position of 'no confirmation' which has led to interpretations that they have practically acknowledged the relationship. Attention is focused on whether Hyeri, who previously had two public relationships, is once again cautiously pursuing love.
On the 1st, a representative from Hyeri's agency Sublime told OSEN, 'It is an actor's private life, so we cannot confirm the dating status,' keeping their remarks vague. The lack of a clear denial and maintaining the 'no confirmation' stance is often interpreted as a near 'acknowledgment' in the industry. OSEN further inquired for a statement, but the agency repeated, 'We currently have no comment. We ask for your understanding.'
The dating rumors between Hyeri and Woo Tae were reported by a media outlet earlier that morning. According to the report, the two connected through the movie *'Victory'* and have been cautiously dating for over a year.
In fact, the two have worked together on the project. Hyeri played a leading role, while Woo Tae was responsible for part of the choreography, teaching dance to the actors. Regarding this, a production representative for *'Victory'* expressed surprise to OSEN, saying, 'It is true that Woo Tae handled choreography for the film, but I am hearing about the dating rumors for the first time.'
Hyeri debuted as a member of Girl's Day in 2010 and transitioned to acting, earning public love by proving her acting skills through *Reply 1988*. Since then, she has actively appeared in numerous dramas and entertainment programs, and she is currently conducting a fan meeting tour in 10 cities across Asia.
Meanwhile, Hyeri previously dated actor Ryu Jun Yeol publicly for seven years before parting ways in November 2023. At the time, both sides maintained a cautious stance, stating, 'The separation is a fact, but the timing and reason are private matters.' Earlier in 2013, she made headlines due to dating rumors with Tony An from H.O.T, where both sides acknowledged they were 'meeting with mutual interest.'
In response to the third person associated with her dating rumors, Hyeri has once again issued a 'no confirmation' reaction. While there has been no official announcement, attention is drawn to whether she will practically embark on another 'public relationship.'
