Hyeri has been engulfed in dating rumors. The partner is dancer Woo-tae (real name Chae Woo-tae), who gained recognition through Mnet's 'Street Man Fighter'. The agency stated, "It's difficult to confirm as it's a private matter," but the atmosphere suggests an acknowledgment of the relationship.
On the 1st, Hyeri's agency Sublime told OSEN, "We cannot confirm anything regarding Hyeri's dating rumors as it pertains to the actor's private life." With the stance of being "unable to confirm" rather than "not true," fans are accepting it as a de facto acknowledgment.
The connection between the two appears to have begun with the film 'Victory'. In this film, Hyeri starred as the main character, while Woo-tae was responsible for some choreography, working together on set. Reports surfaced that they have been dating for over a year, and the agency has been cautiously reiterating their ambiguous position without outright denial.
This is Hyeri's third public relationship. Woo-tae, who participated in choreography for various artists including BoA, Super Junior, EXO Baekhyun, Kai, and Highlight, gained recognition as a dance trainer on Mnet's audition program 'CAP-TEEN' in 2020.
In 2022, he appeared on Mnet's 'Street Man Fighter' prequel 'Be Mbitious,' where he was selected as the sub-leader of the project dance crew Ambitious. During the 'Street Man Fighter' rank mission, his choreography was selected for the mission song 'Law' by Yoon Mi-rae and BIBI, and the dance video, where he performed as the main dancer, received high praise as the "most polished performance stage" among the rank missions.
During his appearance on 'Street Man Fighter,' Woo-tae garnered attention for his tall visuals and stylish dance. Now he is stirring up excitement both online and offline as "Hyeri's man."
