Hyeri
BIOGRAPHY
Lee Hye-ri (Korean: 이혜리; born June 9, 1994), known professionally as Hyeri, is a South Korean actor and singer signed to Sublime. She debuted in 2010 as the youngest member of the girl group Girl’s Day and expanded into acting in 2012, going on to headline a string of major Korean dramas.
Hyeri became a household name after starring as the female lead in the 2015 tvN drama Reply 1988, which achieved record ratings for Korean cable television at the time and established her as one of the country’s most recognizable idol-actors. She has since starred in dramas including My Roommate Is a Gumiho (2021), Moonshine (2021), and May I Help You? (2022), alongside film roles such as Victory (2024).
In 2025, Hyeri took on the lead role of Yoo Je-yi in the mystery-thriller drama Friendly Rivalry, playing opposite Chung Su-bin. The pair’s performance earned Best Couple honors at both the APAN Star Awards and the Korea Drama Awards that year, marking one of the most acclaimed pairings of Hyeri’s acting career.
BLGLFlix editorial view
A performer this established taking a girls love lead is a different signal from a newcomer doing it.
Lee Hye-ri, known as Hyeri, born 9 June 1994, debuted in 2010 as the youngest member of Girl’s Day, moved into acting in 2012 and became a household name in Korea. In 2025 she takes a lead in Friendly Rivalry, the sixteen episode series carried on Netflix.
For an unknown actor, a role in this material is a way in. For somebody with fifteen years of mainstream visibility, an award shelf and a national profile, it is a decision with something at stake, taken at the point in a career where the safe options are all available. Korean entertainment is conservative about how its recognised names are positioned, and a choice like this reads as a judgement that the risk had gone out of it.
The result supported the judgement. Its central pairing was named best couple at two mainstream ceremonies that season, one run by APAN and one by the Korea Drama Awards.
She moved to Sublime in June 2024 after years with her previous agency, studied film at Konkuk after the Seoul School of Performing Arts, and her birth date, birthplace, education and awards are all documented here.
