The first time they met was while filming the movie Victory starring Hyeri. The film began filming in 2023 and will be released in 2024.
Hyeri appeared in Victory as the leader of Millennium Girls, an enthusiastic and newly promoted cheering club. She performed choreography such as Diva's "Why Are You Calling" and Deux's "Look Back at Me" in the film, and the person who taught her these choreography was Woo Tae.
Woo Tae was in charge of choreography for the film Victory with dancer Kinky.
A person in the family who knew the two well said, "The film was filmed in Geoje, Gyeongnam, and they met for the first time while practicing choreography there.
After that, the two continued to date in Seoul and always showed their closeness. They haven't spoken to anyone around for a long time, but they have been dating for nearly a year.
Another source also said: Because this is a very cautious relationship, both of them always care about and treat each other delicately. They were a great support for each other in difficult times, so they really appreciate each other.
Before falling in love with the male dancer, Hyeri had a 7-8 year relationship with actor Ryu Jun Yeol. The two met when they worked together on tvN's hit drama " Reply 1988", released in late 2015 - early 2016.
Hyeri - Ryu Jun Yeol were once an admired couple in the Korean entertainment industry. But in November 2023, the two announced their breakup.
Last March, Ryu Jun Yeol and Hyeri's love story once again became noisy, when Ryu Jun Yeol admitted to having a new relationship with actress Han So Hee.
The public was stirred up because Hyeri suddenly posted a "It's interesting" status after the news of her ex-boyfriend dating Han So Hee was made public.
Hyeri's move was partly the reason why Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee were heavily criticized. Many people thought that she was implying that her ex-boyfriend and Han So Hee had an affair before Ryu Jun Yeol broke up with Hyeri.
After that, Hyeri apologized for causing unexpected damage due to her explosive emotions.
