Actress and former Girl’s Day member Hyeri is at the center of dating rumors involving dancer Woo Tae, known from Mnet’s “Street Man Fighter.” On Tuesday, both parties’ agencies responded to the reports, but declined to confirm the relationship, citing privacy.
Sublime, Hyeri’s agency, told Xportsnews, “We cannot confirm matters related to the actor’s personal life.” Similarly, Woo Tae’s agency, The Live, said, “As this concerns private matters, we are unable to confirm. We ask for your understanding.”
The rumors began after a media outlet reported that Hyeri and Woo Tae have been dating for over a year. According to the report, the two first met during the production of the film “Victory” and recently began sharing their relationship status with close acquaintances.
“Victory” is a dance-themed movie that follows the story of Pil-seon (played by Hyeri) and Mi-na (Park Se-wan), two women who find purpose and support through cheerleading. Woo Tae worked as the film’s choreographer.
Hyeri debuted in 2010 as a member of the K-pop group Girl’s Day and has since transitioned to a successful acting career. She most recently appeared in the popular U+tv series “Friendly Rivalry.”
Woo Tae gained public attention as a contestant on “Be Mbitious,” a prequel to Mnet’s “Street Man Fighter,” where he was selected as subleader of the project dance crew Ambitious. He later impressed audiences through his performances on “Street Man Fighter.” His choreography credits include work with major K-pop acts such as BoA, Super Junior, EXO’s Baekhyun and Kai and Highlight. Last year, he signed an exclusive contract with The Live, the same agency representing ZEROBASEONE member Sung Han-bin.
