AKMU's Lee Chan Hyuk is making headlines with his private life once again! Just two days after breakup rumors with former fromis_9 member Lee Saerom surfaced, dating rumors between him and actress Ha Ji Soo have taken the internet by storm.

On January 23, a media outlet claimed that Lee Chan Hyuk and Ha Ji Soo have been in a relationship for about a year.

According to the report, the two grew close during the making of Lee Chan Hyuk's first album with his project group, Umbrella, in June 2023. Ha Ji Soo starred as the female lead in the music video for one of the album's title tracks, "Dance".

When asked for confirmation, YG Entertainment, Lee Chan Hyuk’s agency, told Star News, "This is a private matter, so we cannot confirm anything." Ha Ji Soo’s agency, SWMP, echoed this by stating, "We cannot verify this." Both agencies kept their responses brief, avoiding any further comments.

Notably, this news comes hot on the heels of Lee Chan Hyuk’s breakup rumors with Lee Saerom. On January 21, it was reported that the two had been dating for over a year but recently ended their relationship. YG Entertainment had similarly stated, "We cannot confirm matters related to the artist's private life."

Now, rumors about Lee Chan Hyuk dating Ha Ji Soo have sparked even more curiosity, especially given the timing—just two days after breakup speculations involving Lee Saerom. Fans are buzzing about the coincidence and the mystery surrounding his love life.

Lee Chan Hyuk debuted as part of AKMU with his sister Lee Su Hyun in 2014 and made his solo debut in 2022. On the other hand, Ha Ji Soo is known for her appearances in music videos like Andnew’s “Wendy” and Rothy’s “Diamond”.

Meanwhile, Lee Saerom, who rose to fame through Mnet's Idol School in 2017 and debuted as a member of fromis_9, recently concluded her exclusive contract with her agency at the end of 2023.

With multiple rumors swirling around, fans are left wondering: what’s really going on in Lee Chan Hyuk’s private life? Stay tuned for updates!
