Hyeri and Woo Tae's Dating Rumors Spark Interest as Agency Remains Non-Committal

Former Girl's Day member and actress Hyeri (이혜리) is at the center of dating rumors with dancer Woo Tae (우태), as her agency, Sublime, has adopted a 'no confirmation' stance, which many interpret as a tacit acknowledgment of the relationship. On July 1, a representative from Sublime stated to OSEN, "We cannot confirm anything regarding Hyeri's dating rumors as it pertains to her private life." Typically, a response of 'no confirmation' rather than outright denial is seen as an implicit admission. When further inquiries were made, the representative reiterated, "This is all we can say for now. We appreciate your understanding." The dating rumors surfaced earlier that day through a media report claiming that Hyeri and Woo Tae have been in a relationship for over a year, citing sources from the entertainment industry. The two reportedly met while working on the film 'Victory,' where Hyeri played the lead role and Woo Tae served as a choreographer. A source from 'Victory' expressed surprise, stating, "Woo Tae is a hip-hop dancer who contributed to the choreography in the film, but I had no idea about his relationship with Hyeri." Hyeri debuted in 2010 as part of the four-member girl group Girl's Day and later transitioned to acting, gaining popularity for her role as Deok-seon in the drama 'Reply 1988.' She has since appeared in various dramas and films, most recently starring in 'Competition of Goodness' earlier this year. Currently, she is on a fan meeting tour across ten cities in Asia. Woo Tae is known for his hip-hop choreography and gained recognition after participating in the 2022 Mnet reality show 'Street Man Fighter,' where he was selected as a member of the Ambitious crew.
