AKMU’s Lee Chan Hyuk reportedly breaks up with fromis_9’s Lee Saerom; YG Entertainment reacts
AKMU’s Lee Chan Hyuk and fromis_9’s Lee Saerom reportedly broke up after speculations of dating in 2022.
AKMU's Lee Chan Hyuk and fromis_9 member Lee Sae Rom have reportedly broken up, according to K-media reports. The two were speculated to have been dating since October 2022 and have parted ways, as per entertainment industry insiders, on January 21. Lee Chan Hyuk's management company, YG Entertainment, has responded after being asked to comment on the matter.
Lee Chan Hyuk and Lee Sae Rom initially sparked dating speculations by being spotted together in public and posting photos of similar places on social media. Fans noticed rings of a similar design on the two of them, their photos (posted one month apart) featuring the same location, as well as their possession of similar items, such as a green-toned cell phone case with a fish symbol.
At the time, both artists' agencies kept their responses vague regarding the matter. YG Entertainment stated, "It is difficult to confirm as it is the artist's private life," while Pledis Entertainment, the former management agency of fromis_9, chose not to answer. Fans and media interpreted their silence and unclear answers as an indirect confirmation of the relationship.
Following the breakup rumors of the two artists on January 21, 2025, YG Entertainment told Herald POP, "It is the artist's private life, so we cannot confirm it." According to the insider who informed the media about the breakup, Lee Chan Hyuk and Lee Sae Rom dated for a little over a year before parting ways in 2024. Since neither K-pop idol has personally addressed the issue, the truthfulness of the news cannot yet be confirmed.
Lee Chan Hyuk debuted in AKMU, formerly known as Akdong Musician, in 2014 along with his sister Lee Su Hyun. The duo's cheerful song Love Lee from their third EP, Love Episode, garnered immense love from fans.
Lee Chan Hyuk's rumored girlfriend, Lee Sae Rom, debuted in 2018 with fromis_9, a girl group formed by CJ E&M through the 2017 reality show Idol School. Their latest EP was released under HYBE's subsidiary Pledis Entertainment on August 12, 2024, before the group left the label last December.
