AKMU’s Lee Chan Hyuk and former fromis_9 member Saerom have broken up after a year-long relationship.

Sources close to the couple revealed on January 21 that the two ended their relationship last year. The pair first sparked dating rumors in October 2022 after they were spotted on dates in public and shared photos from the same location on social media.

At the time, Lee Chan Hyuk's agency, YG Entertainment, responded by saying, “It’s difficult to confirm due to the artist’s private matters,” while Saerom’s agency, Pledis Entertainment, kept quiet. Both agencies’ lack of comment led fans to believe the rumors were true.

Despite the speculation, the couple continued to meet after the rumors surfaced but decided to go their separate ways last year. Since they never publicly confirmed their relationship, it's been hard to get any official statement about their breakup.

Lee Chan Hyuk gained fame as part of the sibling duo AKMU alongside his sister Lee Suhyun, making his debut in 2014 after appearing on SBS's K-pop Star 2. He released his first solo album, ERROR, in 2022 and continued to make waves in the music world.

Saerom, who debuted in 2017 as a member of fromis_9 after being selected on Mnet’s Idol School, actively participated in the group’s activities.

However, fromis_9’s contract with Pledis Entertainment expired in December 2024, and Saerom left the agency.
