Hyeri, 'unable to confirm' dating rumor, speaks up after 3 days… "I’m okay"
Hyeri, who has gone through two public relationships, took a cautious 'unable to confirm' stance regarding the third dating rumor, drawing attention to the background. Three days after the dating rumor reports, she communicated her feelings to fans for the first time.
On the morning of the 4th, Hyeri left a heartfelt message for her fans through the fan communication platform 'Bubble,' saying, "I miss you so much that I can’t sleep. I really missed you too." She continued, "I am carefully reading every reply you sent me. What I want most is just one thing. I want to live happily and healthily, without pain. That's all," responding directly to fans' worries.
This message is particularly noteworthy as it is the first expression of her feelings since reports of the dating rumor between Hyeri and dancer Woo-tae emerged on the 1st. Hyeri's side stated to OSEN at the time, "We cannot confirm anything regarding the actor's private life," which was interpreted as a 'cautious neutrality' that neither confirmed nor denied the relationship.
Hyeri added, "In fact, I have lived under a lot of attacks for a long time, so I'm okay. But it really upsets me that (the fans) are hurting." She continued, "I’m really sorry. I will pay more attention next time! I hope you have a good day. I think I should sleep a little. You know I am always grateful, sorry, and love you, right? I will do better. Thank you," expressing her thoughts. She notably showed a magnanimous attitude towards harsh comments calling her "shameless."
In response to her confession, fans sent warm support messages like, "Hyeri, don't reply to bad comments… it hurts my heart," and "I will understand and wait."
Hyeri and Woo-tae's relationship began with the movie 'Victory.' Woo-tae, who was in charge of choreography in the project, became closer to Hyeri while directly teaching her, and they showed noticeable chemistry while working together on the fan meeting choreography. In fact, a rehearsal video that Hyeri released captured a dancer, presumed to be Woo-tae, gently guiding her through choreography.
Meanwhile, through her stance of 'unable to confirm,' she clearly defined the boundaries regarding her private life while conveying sincere messages to her fans. Her emphasis on trust and communication with fans over confirming the relationship has resonated with many.
