Actress Lee Da Hae has revealed the hilarious lengths she went to in hopes of winning over her now-husband, K-Pop idol Se7en, after initially rejecting his advances.
On October 21, Lee Da Hae appeared in a video uploaded to Jang Young Ran‘s YouTube channel, where she welcomed Jang Young Ran and comedian Shim Jin Hwa into her home in Shanghai, China. During their conversation, the actress opened up about the early days of her relationship with Se7en, revealing that their romance nearly never happened because she initially wasn’t interested in dating him.
According to Lee Da Hae, the two were merely acquaintances when Se7en began actively pursuing her. However, she admitted that she initially thought dating him would be a bad idea. “I felt like I shouldn’t date him. I even thought I was too good for him,” she commented. She eventually told Se7en to stop contacting her, seemingly putting an end to his pursuit.
But things took an unexpected turn when Lee Da Hae gradually realized that she had developed feelings for him. Unfortunately for the actress, Se7en had apparently taken her rejection seriously and stopped reaching out to her. As the silence continued, Lee Da Hae found herself desperately hoping he would contact her again.
She then confessed something she had never even told Se7en himself: she had started attending early-morning prayer services specifically to pray for him to call!
Please have him call me back…
— Lee Da Hae
Her prayers eventually appeared to pay off when Se7en finally reached out. This time, Lee Da Hae wasted no time responding. “I replied right away,” the actress said. She also recalled expressing her feelings for him, wondering aloud why she had suddenly started missing him so much. The two eventually began dating, turning what initially looked like a failed romantic pursuit into a relationship that would last nearly a decade before marriage!
Lee Da Hae and Se7en tied the knot in May 2023 after nine years together. Now, the couple is preparing to welcome their first child, a daughter, in November 2026. And while Se7en may have spent the early days doing the chasing, it turns out his future wife was secretly praying for him to give her another chance.
