Why is Hyeri apologizing to fans amid Wootae dating rumors? Reveals being 'attacked for a long time'
South Korean actress Hyeri has been making headlines lately, not for a new drama casting, but for her alleged love life. As per July 1 report by K-media outlet Sports Donga, she has been dating in a year-long relationship with dancer Wootae. Amid her agency's unclear response regarding the dating rumors and mounting speculations on the same, she apologized to her fans. Hyeri's first communication with fans amid Wootae dating row On July 4, Hyeri took to the fan communication platform Bubble and expressed her love and concern regarding her fans. She mentioned being unable to sleep because of missing them too much. As the text came at the early hour of 7 AM, an irritated fan replied, "This is the first time I've seen a celebrity who doesn't think of the fans at all and sends messages at 7 AM." The Friendly Rivalry actress apologized for that, and promised to be more mindful from then on. She sent texts that read, "I am so sorry. I will make sure to check before sending!" and "I hope you know I am always thankful and sorry and love you all. I'll do better! Thanks." On seeing that, a lot of fans swarmed in to cheer her up, saying she neither needed to care for nor apologize to people who say "bad things" to her. Did Hyeri indirectly address her private life deets with Ryu Jun Yeol and Wootae? Among her Bubble messages, one particular text broke fans' hearts. It read, "I've been attacked for a long time, so I'm honestly okay. But I am sad when I hear that you guys are hurt." It might be an indication to the hate she received following the news of her breakup with Ryu Jun Yeol and also after the latest news of her alleged romantic relationship with Street Man Fighter's Wootae was reported. Many ridiculed her claiming that the two men she's linked up with, have similar facial features, which shows her taste in men. Her agency Sublime's "it [Wootae dating news] seems difficult to confirm" statement didn't help either. Amid all these, fans hoped their positive comments will give her strength of endurance.

Former Girls' Day member Hyeri has been in the news lately after multiple industry insiders hinted at a brewing romance between her and Street Man Fighter's Wootae.

Though she didn't confirm or deny the relationship, she admitted she's aware of the rumours and how it is affecting the fandom while promising to be more careful going forward.

Replying to fans, she wrote, 'I miss you so much that I can't sleep. I really missed you too. The alarm went off too early, right? I'm sorry,' adding, 'I'm diligently reading every reply you sent me. The only thing I truly wish for is to live happily and healthily without pain! That's all!' The Reply 1988 star then added she's been under attack online for a while now, but what bothers her more is seeing fans get dragged into it, hinting at the dating rumours. 'I've been under a lot of attacks for a long time, so I'm okay. But it really bothers me that the fans are hurting,' she wrote. 'I'm really sorry, I'll pay more attention next time! I hope you have a good day. I should try to sleep a little. I always appreciate and love you, you know that, right? I'll do better! Thank you!' She was responding to a fan who wrote on Bubble, 'Hyeri, don't respond to the bad comments… It hurts your heart.' While some fans came to her support, others accused her of playing the 'Karina card', apologising to the public instead of owning up to the relationship and leaving things hanging. Hyeri's agency Sublime earlier told OSEN, 'We cannot confirm whether the actress is in a relationship as it pertains to her personal life.'

Industry insiders claimed the two met during the movie's shoot in Geoje and spent a lot of time together practising. 'Afterwards, they continued to date in Seoul. It hasn't been long since they told anyone, but they've been dating for almost a year,' a source familiar with both sides told the Korean media. Another added, 'They are being considerate of each other as it is a very cautious meeting. They are affectionate because they helped each other during their most difficult times.' Soon after, a video surfaced online showing the two dancing, and their eye contact, the body language, the playfulness, everything had fans convinced they might be way more than just colleagues. Hyeri was previously in a seven-year relationship with actor Ryu Jun Yeol. While their breakup seemed smooth on the surface, things took a turn last year when Ryu's relationship with actress Han So Hee came to light. Many felt the timelines overlapped, hinting that things with Hyeri hadn't fully ended when he started seeing Han. Ryu stayed silent, but Han and Hyeri ended up in a messy online back-and-forth with fandom involved. It got so bad, Han publicly announced her breakup with Ryu, saying she was never the reason behind his split with Hyeri, and even called him out for keeping quiet. Eventually, both Han and Hyeri cleared the air and apologised to each other.

Hyeri and rumored boyfriend Wootae's past romantic moments resurface amid dating speculations
Netizens are revisiting Hyeri and professional dancer Wootae's unseen moments. In a video from last year, where the actress was promoting her sports film Victory, her first few moments hanging out with the Street Woman Fighter star were revealed. Their teasing and helpful moments are being termed as 'romantic' by fans who are happy for the actress' love life. Hyeri and Wootae were seen practising for her role as Chu Pil Sun, the cheerleader in the musical drama film. Behind-the-scenes moments from their rehearsals showcased the two bonding over sweet moments from the session. Having difficulty with the structured choreography that is usually seen on cheerleaders, the singer and actor sought help from her dance instructor, Wootae. Initially appearing focused on their work to ensure the maximum positive result, it seems that the duo developed feelings over time after working on Victory for a long period. If the reports are to be believed, the two began dating around the time of the release of the film, but an exact timeline has not been specified. When the reports of their relationship first hit the internet on July 1, fans were surprised; however, as Hyeri's agency responded, it became clear that much would be kept under wraps about their rumored romance. So far, neither Wootae, who became well-known for his contained but strong appearance on Street Man Fighter, nor Hyeri, whose last project, drama Friendly Rivalry, went viral, have commented on the dating rumors personally. Previously, the two exchanged fun banter on social media, which fans have now begun digging into, including now-deleted vacation photos on the professional dancer's Instagram account. Talking about the reports swirling through the communities, Sublime Artist Agency shared that, 'It is difficult to confirm as it concerns the actor's private life. We ask for your understanding.' This further fueled the fire as fans thought of it as indirect confirmation, in the lack of a denial. Hyeri joined the management label in May 2024 and has since observed continued success in her projects.

The report stated that the two stars became close while working together on the cheerleading-themed film Victory in 2024. They have allegedly been dating for over a year.
