Korean netizens are convinced that NCT member Haechan and controversial former K-pop trainee Han Seohee are friends, and this association is causing a lot of criticism.
A post titled “This is NCT Haechan’s and Han Seohee”was uploaded to Nate Pann, a highly popular online community forum in South Korea, on June 2, 2024.
The post featured a screenshot from Han Seohee’s Instagram Story, shared by the original poster. The picture displays two dogs sitting comfortably on a plush chair in front of a window. Additionally, there was a photo of Haechan and his dog Woojoo sitting on a similar chair with a window in the background, also included in the post.

Despite Korean netizens believing that Han Seohee took the photo of her dog and Haechan’s dog at the idol’s parents’ house, thus showing the duo’s strong bond, they do not believe that the two are in a romantic relationship. It has been revealed that Han Seohee’s phone wallpaper is of Jaehyun, another member of NCT, leading netizens to speculate that if she were truly dating Haechan, her wallpaper would not be of another NCT member.
Han Seohee has been previously associated with an SM Entertainment artist before. Rumors circulated that her best friend was once the girlfriend of Eunseok, a member of RIIZE. According to reports, Han Seohee’s best friend acted as the intermediary for her and several male celebrities’ dates.
According to Korean netizens, Haechan’s apparent friendship with Han Seohee has caused disgust among the public due to her history. Han Seohee has been embroiled in controversy since 2017 when it was disclosed that she had smoked marijuana with T.O.P of BIGBANG. She has also been implicated in drug-related incidents involving B.I (formerly of iKON) and Wonho (formerly of MONSTA X).
Upon further investigation, K-netz found evidence that Haechan’s female friends had indeed taken photos with Han Seohee. This discovery led Korean netizens to believe that there is a close relationship between NCT and RIIZE with Han Seohee. As a result, some netizens began to criticize the idols, claiming that this is proof of “SM’s male idols having low standards.”
Despite the disapproval of Korean netizens towards their friendship, it is believed that Haechan will not receive significant backlash from his fans. This is supported by their previous response to his indoor smoking controversy in January, where he was caught vaping during a practice session with NCT. Despite initial criticism from Korean netizens, Haechan’s fans remained loyal and fiercely defended him.
A few of the comments stated,
- “People claim that Han Seohee is just a fan of NCT, but if she was just a fan would she go as far as to go to Haechan’s parents’ house to take a picture of their pets? Haechan’s fans are losing their intelligence because of their controversial oppa.”
- “The fact that they’re even just friends is such a f*cking turn-off.”
- “Haechan’s female friends have photos with Han Seohee. Just try DMing those two unnies on Instagram. NCT fans, pretty women are all dating idols and they are having f*cking fun together. Your idols do care about visuals. NCT and RIIZE are actually close to those two. Looks like SM’s male idols have no standards.”
- “For reference, there are a lot of Haechan fans out there. They will defend him like crazy, just look at his indoor smoking scandal…”
- “Han Seohee’s background is Jaehyun. If she was really dating Haechan, why would she have Jaehyun as her background?”
