Haechan (NCT): Entangled in dating news of "Kbiz nightmare" Han Seo Hee, accused of sleeping with female fans

Haechan is a member who is highly appreciated for his ability to sing, dance, and rap in NCT. He always brings a fresh and dynamic image every time he appears in public. However, recently, the male idol has continuously been entangled in attention-grabbing private life noises.

Haechan, also known as Lee Dong Hyuck, was born in 2000 in Seoul, South Korea. When he was seven years old, the young man moved to Jeju Island and spent about five years living there. Since childhood, Dong Hyuck has had a special love for K-pop and idol group SHINee. Besides, he is also active in extracurricular activities in the classroom such as participating in the radio club.

When he was twelve years old, Dong Hyuck returned to Seoul and then registered for the audition at SM Entertainment. He is known as one of the 6 rare artists of the company who successfully passed the 7th selection period or is also the company's most famous "Lee so-man's choice" to win the opportunity to debut. In addition, he also attended high school at the Seoul School of Arts and Performing Arts but then stopped to focus on his career.

Prior to debuting with NCT, he was introduced as a member of the SM Rookies project under his real name on July 17, 2014. Haechan officially debuted when he was only 16 years old in NCT's small group lineup, NCT 127. Besides NCT 127, the male idol is also present in 2 other small groups, NCT U and NCT Dream. In addition, he also tried his hand at MC at many music festivals.

Along with Mark, Haechan is the busiest member when he has to constantly make comebacks with small groups. Therefore, the fact that male idols are exhausted and have to stop working is something that happens sooner or later. On December 19, 2018, SM Haechan temporarily stopped participating in all NCT activities due to a leg injury until he fully recovered.

In January 2023, the Kpop fan community was worried by the news that Haechan paused his schedule to rest and treat his health. According to the announcement, Haechan experienced symptoms of abnormal tachycardia, shortness of breath, and went to the hospital with management for support and health checks. Haechan was asked to rest for treatment and recover. NCT's continuous comeback with small groups is said to be one of the reasons why the male idol is exhausted, most of the group's fans have thrown stones at SM because they do not take care of the health of the "chickens" but constantly exert themselves.

In early 2024, Haechan was fined for using an electronic leaf torch. SM shared: "We confirm that Haechan used e-cigarettes in NCT 127's dance practice video released on January 10. Today, the local competent public health agency has issued a sanctioning decision on this issue. He will pay the fine." The company added: "We are deeply sorry for causing concern to many people through his careless actions. We will pay special attention to prevent such incidents from happening in the future."

In 2022, Haechan was entangled in the news of dating female idol Ryujin (ITZY). The couple revealed quite a lot of emotional "hints" but still did not speak out about this rumor.

Recently, on the morning of June 3, male idol Haechan (NCT) and "Kbiz nightmare" Han Seo Hee became the focus of attention with secret dating rumors. The suspicion that the two are in a romantic relationship stems from a series of photos showing off pets on Han Seo Hee's social networks.

Specifically, recently, Han Seo Hee posted a photo of 2 dogs on her personal page. Immediately, netizens pointed out that the Pomeranian-like dog in Han Seo Hee's photo resembles Haechan's pet dog. Not only that, netizens also discovered that Han Seo Hee's phone wallpaper is a photo of Jaehyun (NCT). This makes the audience wonder about the relationship between Han Seo Hee, Haechan and the members of NCT.

According to Allkpop, dating rumors involving Haechan and Han Seo Hee caused a stir in the online community. The audience vehemently opposes this relationship because of Han Seo Hee's scandalous private life, imprisonment and karma. Netizens are concerned that Haechan and NCT members will be severely affected in terms of reputation and career if they get to know Han Seo Hee.

Besides, there are also viewers who think that the above evidence is not enough to conclude that Haechan and Han Seo Hee are dating. According to netizens, it is likely that Han Seo Hee is a fan of NCT because her personal account follows Jaehyun, Taeyong, Haechan and other members of this K-pop group.

The incident was not over yet, until dawn on June 4, social media pages loudly shared accusations that 2 NCT members, Johnny and Haechan, slept with three Japanese girls, including 2 who were fans of other members of the group. Specifically, an account owned by a famous figure in the nightlife industry in Japan directly named 2 NCT members and claimed that they had relationships with 3 different girls. The girls are believed by this account to be working as pub hostesses. However, this alleged post was later taken down and the reshared accounts were quickly removed due to allegations from fans.

However, netizens still think that this is just a one-sided opinion from the above account, the issue still needs to be clarified to avoid affecting the people who are named. Currently, SM Entertainment - the management company of the NCT group has not spoken out about both of Haechan's troubles.
