This is not the first time Lee Da Hee has attracted major media and online attention because of her personal relationships. Around 23 years ago, her romance with Oh Jong Hyuk from the group Click-B caused massive controversy in South Korea.

Back in July 2003, during one of the group’s concerts, Oh Jong Hyuk shocked fans by publicly revealing his secret relationship with Lee Da Hee in front of thousands of audience members.

After Click-B finished performing and moved on to the talk segment with fans, Oh Jong Hyuk suddenly announced that the woman he loved was present in the audience that night. At first, fans believed he was joking as part of fan interaction. However, the atmosphere completely changed when the singer walked directly to where Lee Da Hee was sitting and confessed his love in front of the entire crowd. “This is the woman I love,” he declared publicly.

Lee Da Hee herself was reportedly shocked by the unexpected confession and even burst into emotional tears. However, while the couple felt happiness in the moment, many fans reacted with anger instead. Numerous fans reportedly left the concert early after witnessing the public display of affection, saying they felt betrayed and emotionally hurt. Some even announced they would stop supporting Oh Jong Hyuk afterward.

To calm the controversy, Lee Da Hee later posted a letter addressed to Oh Jong Hyuk’s fans. In the letter, she wrote:

“I attended the concert because I love him. Everyone, besides loving Jong Hyuk as an artist, could you also support him as a man who is dating? We haven’t been together for very long, but as time passes, I continue to like him more. The more I get to know him, the deeper my love becomes. Although I met Jong Hyuk later than the fans did, the love I have for him is no less sincere. I truly love him from the bottom of my heart, so I hope everyone will not think badly of our relationship.”

Lee Da Hee hoped the letter would ease tensions between Oh Jong Hyuk and his fans, but the situation reportedly became even worse. Following the letter, public criticism toward the couple intensified further. Under heavy pressure from fans, the couple eventually broke up quietly. To this day, Lee Da Hee remains single.

Aside from her dating life, the actress’s appearance has also repeatedly become a hot topic online. Reports have claimed that Lee Da Hee did not originally look the way she does now. In pursuit of her dream of becoming an entertainer, she reportedly underwent procedures on her eyes, nose, and chin. Following the dramatic transformation, she earned the nickname “Kbiz’s top plastic surgery beauty,” which also helped boost her acting career.

The actress is widely recognized for both her acting talent and professional attitude on set. Over the years, the star born in 1985 has built an impressive filmography through hit dramas including The Legend, I Can Hear Your Voice, Search: WWW, and The Beauty Inside.

Thanks to her striking visuals and model-like figure, Lee Da Hee has also worked as an MC and model alongside her acting career. In particular, she gained significant popularity as a host on the hit Netflix reality show Single’s Inferno.
