AKMU's Lee Chan-hyuk and Actress Ha Ji-soo: A Blossoming Romance Captures Attention

On the 23rd, visitors to Ha Ji-soo's agency, SWMP's website, were met with a message stating, 'The site has exceeded its allowed connection capacity,' rendering it inaccessible. This follows an exclusive report by TenAsia titled 'AKMU's Lee Chan-hyuk, Dating Actress Ha Ji-soo... The Woman Who Danced with Him in 'Umbrella',' which seems to have sparked the surge in interest.
Ha Ji-soo made her debut in 2018 in the music video for Stella Jang's 'I GO' and signed an exclusive contract with SWMP in 2023. She has since appeared in various music videos and commercials, including Andnew's 'Wendy' and Rothy's 'Diamond'. She is also exploring acting in short films and other media.

Lee Chan-hyuk and Ha Ji-soo first connected while working on the project group Lee Chan-hyuk Video's debut album 'Umbrella', released in June 2023. 'Umbrella' features 12 remade songs arranged by Lee Chan-hyuk, with contributions from various artists, including actors Im Si-wan, Go Ah-sung, model Jang Yoon-ju, comedian Shin Bong-sun, ITZY's Chaeryeong, and singer Jang Ki-ha. The album was well-received.


Additionally, Ha Ji-soo appeared in other tracks from the album, such as 'Kite Flying' and 'Waltz of Tears', where she contributed to the album's melancholic atmosphere with her distinctive mood.
Meanwhile, Lee Chan-hyuk debuted with AKMU in 2014, releasing hit songs across various genres, including '200%', 'Last Goodbye', and 'How Can I Love the Heartbreak, You're the One I Love'. He continues to engage with fans through a diverse musical spectrum, ranging from quirky and playful tunes to deep ballads and experimental concepts.
