If you're an avid fan of the South Korean dating show Transit Love, also known as EXchange, then you're likely waiting with bated breath for a new episode to drop every week. The third season has just recently been released on Viu and we're already on the edge of our seats watching the rollercoaster of emotions in full swing.
The reality-based series, which features ex-couples living under the same roof for a second chance at love (either with their ex or with another housemate), kicked off Season 3 with a bang, surprising fans with an interesting lineup of cast members. Among the most notable female participants who've been making headlines is—spoiler alert!—Song Da Hye, a former K-pop idol from girl group BESTie, whose couple story feels like a plot plucked out of a K-drama.
Curious? Below, find out more about Song Da Hye from Transit Love Season 3.
Who Is Song Da Hye? 7 Things to Know About the Former K-Pop Idol in "Transit Love" Season 3
1. Song Da Hye entered her 30s in 2023.
Born on June 12, 1993, in Incheon, South Korea, Dahye is 30 years old as of writing. She is a Gemini, embodying the duality and dynamism that characterize her zodiac sign.
2. Song Da Hye debuted as a K-pop idol in 2013 as part of the girl group BESTie.
Song Da Hye, known by her stage name Dahye, was a prominent member of the 3rd generation K-Pop girl group BESTie. The group debuted in 2013 and Dahye departed in 2017, a year before BESTie's disbandment.
3. Song Da Hye is now pursuing a solo music career.
Post-BESTie era, Dahye embraced a solo career, marking her solo debut on October 10, 2020, under Worldstar Entertainment. Her first digital single was a remake of Uhm Jung Hwa's Poison, which showcased her versatility as a music artist.
4. Song Da Hye's participation in "Transit Love" Season 3 has surprised many fans.
Dahye has transitioned from the stage to the screen in joining the third season of Transit Love Season 3. It was the first time a former K-pop idol has joined the show, naturally leaving many viewers in shock. Yura, one of the show's hosts and also an idol from girl group Girl's Day, said Dahye looked "familiar" when she first appeared in the pilot episode and she was visibly surprised when Dahye's identity was finally revealed.
5. Song Da Hye was revealed to be in a relationship with Seo Dong Jin for 13 years before they joined "Transit Love" Season 3.
More shocking than Dahye joining the reality TV show was the revelation that she was in a secret relationship with someone for most of her idol career. Seo Dong Jin, who also once tried to pursue a career in K-pop, was her boyfriend of 13 years. The two met when they were both trainees in the same company (which fans presumed to be SM Entertainment) but they were "let go" after the company learned that they were dating.
6. Song Da Hye enjoys a lot of hobbies.
According to her fan-made pages, Dahye spends her free time playing the guitar, doing yoga, watching movies, and reading books. She's an outgoing person who loves to travel and explore!
7. Song Da Hye was on Instagram.
Her username on Instagram is @dahye0612, which is currently inactive. The reason for this is likely because of her strict NDA contract as one of the participants in Transit Love, preventing any of the cast members to accidentally spoil the show while it's still airing. We can't wait to see her social media content once everything wraps up!
The Season 3 of EXchange, also known as Transit Love, is now streaming on Viu.
