AKMU's Lee Chan Hyuk Sparks Dating Rumors with Actress Ha Ji Soo

Lee Chan Hyuk of AKMU is currently in the spotlight due to new dating rumors. On January 23, 2025, reports surfaced suggesting that he is in a romantic relationship with actress Ha Ji Soo. The two reportedly developed their relationship after collaborating on the music video for the title track 'Dance' from Lee Chan Hyuk's project album 'Umbrella,' released in 2023.

This news comes shortly after Lee Chan Hyuk was linked to a breakup with former fromis_9 member Lee Sae Rom, which has drawn even more attention to his current situation. Lee Chan Hyuk and Lee Sae Rom were first rumored to be dating in October 2022 when sightings of them together circulated on online communities. However, neither party confirmed their relationship at the time. It is believed that they dated for about a year before parting ways last year.

In response to the dating rumors involving both Lee Sae Rom and Ha Ji Soo, Lee Chan Hyuk's agency, YG Entertainment, stated that they cannot confirm details regarding the artist's private life. Historically, YG has denied dating rumors only when they are unfounded, leading many to interpret their current stance as an implicit acknowledgment of the new relationship.

Born in 1996, Lee Chan Hyuk gained fame alongside his sister Lee Soo Hyun after winning SBS's 'K-Pop Star Season 2' in 2012, officially debuting in 2014. Since then, AKMU has released numerous hit songs, solidifying their status as a dominant force in the music industry with tracks like 'How Can I Love You Until I Break Up?' and 'Long Day, Long Night.'

Ha Ji Soo, born in 1995, made her debut in 2018 with Stella Jang's music video for 'I Go' and has appeared in various short films.

Lee Sae Rom debuted in 2017 through Mnet's 'Idol School' as a member of fromis_9, gaining popularity with songs like 'DM' and 'Super Sonic.' The group concluded their contract with Pledis Entertainment on December 31 of last year.
