Is Choi Seung-hyun married?

The South Korean rapper is unmarried and is presumably single as of November 2025. In a 2016 interview on MBC’s Radio Star, Choi revealed that he had only dated three times in his life. Here is what he said, as reported by Allkpop:

Since I was 19, I've dated exactly three people. Nobody knows the one I had a 'some' with. Right now, I am single.

He further shared how he dated a girl who used to drink:

I once dated a girl who loves to drink. We dated for 3-4 years, but I had no memories with her. Because of alcohol, we always blacked out. Since that, I try to date girls who don't drink. But when I drink, I turn off my phone.

Here is a look at his rumoured past relationships.

Han Seo-hee (2016)

Choi Seung-hyun and Han Seo-hee, a former K-pop trainee, were reported to have dated in 2016, though their relationship only became public the following year amid a drug-related case. Court documents confirmed that the pair had used drugs together, and T.O.P.’s lawyer stated they were romantically involved at the time.

They later separated, and both received suspended sentences and probation for their roles in the case.

In 2017, Han Seo-Hee admitted to having dated Choi. She stated:

It's true that I've dated him. He told a close unnie of mine that he wants to get to know me and that's how we met. Several reporters know that T.O.P was the first one to approach me.

She added:

We don't contact each other. I'm using a different phone now and recently, appeared (on messenger) so I deleted him immediately.

Shin Min-a (2008)

The rapper was also rumoured to have dated actress Shin Min-a early in his career, around 2008. It was after being spotted spending time together. In a 2008 phone interview with Hankyung.com, T.O.P’s agency, YG Entertainment, denied the claims, stating:

We just came across the article and are shocked. They shared a hometown when they were young, and since T.O.P's older sister and Shin Min-a are close, we believe T.O.P naturally became close with them.

He added:

I don't know why there were dating rumors when they're just close friends, maybe because celebrities say they date just by eating together.

Yizi Yi (mid–2010s)

According to a 2024 report, Yizi Yi uploaded a short video on her Weibo in which an off-camera voice referred to T.O.P as her “ex.” The clip reignited fan speculation that she was hinting at a past relationship.

These rumours originally surfaced in 2016, after the Chinese actress shared a photo with T.O.P., leading fans to suggest they had dated.

Kim Ga-bin (2020)

In May 2020, rumours circulated that Kim Ga‑bin, a former reality show contestant known for Love Catcher 2, and T.O.P. were secretly dating. The speculation was fueled by matching pyjamas, similar social media posts, and a photo reportedly showing them together.

However, Kim Ga‑bin’s older sister firmly denied any romantic connection, stating they were only friends and that the matching of pyjamas was simply a coincidence. T.O.P. did not address the speculation.

She also addressed the photo of the matching pyjamas:

I took the photo of her on a family vacation, and I bought the Venus pajamas for her when I was buying my own too. It's a really popular pajama. Fans of T.O.P can also go to the Venus store and buy the same ones to wear. Should I print a receipt of my credit card? Do I need to search who wore the same pajamas before buying them?
