A fresh romance may be blooming in the Korean entertainment industry. According to multiple sources within the entertainment industry, Hyeri is reportedly in a relationship. The idol-turned-actress and former Girl's Day member is said to be dating dancer Wootae. He is best known for his appearance on Mnet's Street Man Fighter.
The pair reportedly started dating nearly a year ago after meeting during the production of Hyeri 's 2023 film Victory. It's a cheerleading-themed movie that required intense choreography. Wootae took part in the film as the lead choreographer. He worked closely with the cast, including Hyeri, to prepare them for various dance sequences.
A relationship that started on set
Insiders shared that the two were first introduced during the movie's filming in Geoje, where they spent significant time practicing choreography together. Over the course of the production, their connection reportedly grew from professional collaboration to something more personal.
One industry insider familiar with both parties stated, 'The filming of the movie took place in Geoje, and they first met while practicing choreography. Afterwards, they continued to date in Seoul. It hasn't been long since they told anyone, but they've been dating for almost a year.'
Another source added that their relationship has been handled with caution and mutual respect. 'They are being considerate of each other as it is a very cautious meeting. They are affectionate because they helped each other during their most difficult times,' they revealed.
Hyeri's past public relationship
Hyeri originally debuted in 2010 as a member of the K-pop group Girl's Day. She later transitioned into acting, gaining widespread recognition for her role in the hit drama Reply 1988. Her excellent performance and on-screen chemistry with co-star Ryu Jun Yeol led to a real-life relationship that lasted several years.
Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol publicly confirmed their romance in 2017, and they remained one of the most talked-about celebrity couples in South Korea. However, after nearly seven years together, the two confirmed their breakup in November 2023.
Who is Wootae?
Wootae rose to fame through Mnet's Street Man Fighter in 2022, where he showcased his choreography skills and dance expertise. Known for his precise technique and energetic stage presence, he quickly established himself as one of the standout figures in the show.
He continues to work actively in the performance and choreography scene. Though he's not widely known outside of dance-focused entertainment circles, Wootae's professional achievements have earned him a loyal fanbase.

BLACKPINK's Lisa Is Having This Much Fun In Japan Despite An Ear Injury

BLACKPINK's Lisa has jetted off to Japan. The singer-actress is making the most of her time at the destination. On Monday, the K-pop icon uploaded a carousel of pictures and a video on Instagram highlighting her recent activities in the Land of the Rising Sun. In the first couple of photos, Lisa was seen standing beside a vending machine. The 28-year-old picked out a fitted top featuring a knotted element around the neckline and a bold cut-out just below it. She teamed the basic yet edgy number with a matching pleated skirt. The low-waist silhouette came with ruffles at the hem, adding to the allure. Lisa sealed her easy-breezy style statement with a pair of rimless transparent glasses. In terms of accessories, she opted for a delicate star-shaped pendant and tiny diamond-encrusted studs. A quirky, multi-coloured bangle on one hand and a layered bracelet on the other rounded off her feisty jewellery game. Lisa sealed her minimal glam with pin-straight blonde loose tresses. View this post on Instagram A post shared by LISA (@lalalalisa_m) Next, Lisa flaunted her luxurious Louis Vuitton denim bag, adorned with cherry motifs and gold monograms all over. There remains no doubt that Lisa is a woman with exquisite taste, as it was she who started the now-viral Labubu doll trend. From relishing delicious dishes with her friend to roaming the bustling streets in Japan, Lisa's travel itinerary screamed good vibes. Her gorgeous mirror selfies and charismatic solo shots made it to the album as well. Lisa, however, sparked concern among fans after one video on the gallery showed her having an ear bleed. She did not share any additional information about the injury. Ditching a fancy caption, Lisa simply added a bandaged red heart and cherry emoji. Hoping that Lisa recovers soon, we eagerly wish to witness all her adventures in Japan.
