Hani and Yang Jae Woong's relationship was confirmed in June 2022, revealing that they had been dating for two years at that point. Since then, their bond has blossomed, leading to their current four-year relationship. Despite the challenges and public scrutiny that often accompany relationships in the entertainment industry, Hani and Yang Jae Woong have maintained a strong and supportive partnership.

Ahn Hee Yeon, professionally known as Hani, is a beloved South Korean singer and actress. She is renowned for her contributions to the entertainment industry as a member of EXID and its subgroup SoljiHani (formerly known as Dasoni). Hani has captured the hearts of fans worldwide with her talent and charisma.

Beyond her music career, Hani has showcased her versatility on television, serving as a host on 'Weekly Idol' and appearing as a cast member on shows like 'Off to School', 'Crime Scene', and 'A Style for You'. Before her debut with EXID, Hani was initially set to be part of a girl group under JYP Entertainment alongside notable artists like Sistar's Hyolyn, Secret's Song Ji-eun, and Bestie's Uji. However, this plan was ultimately cancelled.

EXID, a South Korean girl group formed in 2012, comprises five members: Solji, Elly, Hani, Hyelin, and Jeonghwa. The group debuted in February 2012 with the single 'Whoz That Girl', which garnered some attention. However, it wasn't until 2014 that they experienced a significant breakthrough. Their single 'Up & Down' unexpectedly surged in popularity, reaching number one on the Gaon Singles Chart four months after its release, propelled by a fan-recorded live performance video that went viral.
