Personal life

Lee Da-hee has a younger brother, Lee Tae-hee (born 1994), who is also an actor and is represented by the same talent agency. In August 2025, she posted a photograph from a movie outing with him, accompanied by the caption "I love you," which led some followers to briefly mistake him for a romantic partner.

The poses, including her touching his cheek and their close proximity, prompted fans to again mistake him for her boyfriend before his identity was clarified.
