원샷한솔, "여자가 희생한다"는 편견 깨고 4년 만에 연애 공개

Oneshot Hansol, whose real name is Kim Han-sol, is a blind creator who lost his sight later in life. For four years, the question his 1.75 million subscribers asked most often boiled down to one thing: "Hansol and Jeongmin — what exactly are you two?" On May 21, 2026, he answered the bait himself. "Hansol. Jeongmin. We're dating. We're seeing each other. We're in a relationship." That single line immediately took over the May entertainment headlines.

From that day on, the same questions lined up in search boxes. Are they really dating? Did they get married? Is the blindness real? What breed is Tori, the dog they live with? This piece follows those search queries one by one to unpack the person behind Oneshot Hansol.

"Hansol. Jeongmin. We're dating" — The May Line That Untangled Four Years of Speculation

The relationship reveal came on May 21, 2026, in a video titled "Now I'm honestly revealing our love story for the first time," posted to the Oneshot Hansol channel, which has 1.75 million subscribers. More than five outlets picked it up as a headline right away. His partner is Jeongmin, the producer who has built the channel alongside him for four years — full name Choi Jeong-min. According to entertainment outlets, the two started sharing meals and spending time together once they began working side by side, and naturally became a couple over a relationship that has now lasted four years.

The reaction spread quickly because this was not sudden news but the resolution of a four-year-old curiosity. As one blogger summed up, Oneshot Hansol had fielded the "what's the deal with you two" question for the entire four years since launching the channel. Right after the answer dropped, Jeongmin the producer kept the buzz going by posting "The story of how I ended up dating Oneshot Hansol" to her own channel, "Jeong Minimi," walking viewers through their love story from the moment they first met.

At the time of the reveal, Hansol explained the timing this way. According to a star-interview outlet, he said, "Going public means everyone will know, so I thought it would be better for both of us to reveal it once I was sure."

Why He Hid It for Four Years — Standing Up to the "She's the One Sacrificing" Gaze

The four years it took to go public carried weight beyond simple caution. The reason for his hesitation, which more than five outlets quoted in the same words, was tied to the disability of Hansol — the operator of a channel watched by 1.75 million people.

According to one news report, he put it like this: "I have a disability and Jeongmin doesn't, so there could be people who say, 'Isn't the woman the one sacrificing?' or 'How pitiful.'" It was a confession that he had delayed going public out of fear that a relationship with a non-disabled partner would be consumed as a narrative of pity or sacrifice.

The answer he chose was not avoidance but a head-on response. In the same remarks, he added that he wanted to show "how I make my way through it." In the end, his four years of silence were less about fear than a period of preparation — a readiness to rebut prejudice with his own everyday life.

This is where the reveal moves beyond a personal matter into a broader conversation about how disability is perceived. One viewer wrote that they were struck by a scene of a handwritten letter, describing how "Hansol, who is visually impaired, wrote it out for her one character at a time." The distance between the assumption that "the woman is sacrificing" and the person who confronts that assumption with his daily life — that gap was the real engine behind May's buzz.

Is the Blindness Real? — The Answer: Acquired Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy

Perhaps because it's a channel watched by 1.75 million people, the next question in the search box is blunt: "Is Oneshot Hansol's blindness real?" He goes out alone on camera and even throws a ceremonial pitch so naturally that skeptical comments are not rare. The short answer is yes — he is a blind creator who lost his sight later in life.

The clearest reply came from a working optometrist who answered a question posted on Naver's Knowledge-iN Q&A platform. The optometrist described Hansol's condition as "Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy" (LHON). It is an acquired optic-nerve disorder that appears rarely in men in their late teens, and Hansol lost his vision to it.

Another Knowledge-iN respondent addressed the doubts this way: "When you see him graduate from a school for the blind, walk with a cane, and struggle to catch the bus, it's hard to call it staged." His status as someone who became blind later in life is confirmed both by the answer of an eye-care professional and by the everyday routes of his daily life. The naturalness isn't grounds for suspicion — it's the result of countless repetitions of an unseen daily routine.

What Breed Is Tori the Genius Dog? — The Maltipoo Skits That Are the Real Engine

Half the buzz belongs not to a person but to a dog. Per Dhesy data, over the past 90 days Oneshot Hansol's 36 Shorts averaged about 1.33 million views — more than triple the roughly 410,000-view average of his 25 long-form videos — and Tori the genius dog sits at the center of it. The question about "Tori the genius dog's" breed stays pinned near the top of Knowledge-iN, and the answer is Maltipoo, a cross between a Maltese and a Poodle.

Tori's talents go well beyond the average dog video. According to one entertainment outlet, actress Sun Woo-yong was stunned when Tori showed enough skill to "type on KakaoTalk," and she even said she wanted to give Tori a gift. The very sight of a human celebrity coveting the chance to give a dog a present shows Tori's standalone star power.

This Tori content is the structure that actually props up the channel's traffic. The Shorts deliver more than triple the reach of the long-form videos, but the key caveat is that these Shorts are not clips chopped out of the long videos. They are independently planned comedy skits tagged "#skit · #sitcom · #true story," built around solo Tori scenarios such as a genius-like dog negotiating over treats with his blind dad.

The table below summarizes the difference in reach the two formats produced over the same 90 days.

It means the Shorts spread far wider at a fraction of the length, a signal that the everyday format of Tori skits is a more stable source of reach than event-driven news.

Watching what kind of dog Tori is in one video makes it clear why the breed question never stops.

Taking the Mound With His Dog and His Partner — The June 7 SSG Dog Day First Pitch

Before the afterglow of the relationship reveal had even faded, June brought an even bigger picture to the ballpark for this 1.75-million-subscriber channel. On June 7, 2026, at Incheon SSG Landers Field, during the "Dog Day" game between the KT Wiz and the SSG Landers — both teams in the KBO, Korea's professional baseball league — Hansol took to the mound for the ceremonial first pitch together with his dog Tori and his partner Jeongmin.

A sports outlet captured the moment with a photo report noting that "blind YouTuber Oneshot Hansol throws a powerful ceremonial pitch," and the scene of him high-fiving Tori after finishing the pitch made it into several outlets' photos as well. Hansol shared his own reflection. According to an interview outlet, he said, "I was invited to Dog Day and got to throw my first ceremonial pitch together with Tori and Jeongmin," adding that "it wasn't easy since I can't see."

A picture of a dog and a partner standing on the mound together at one person's most nerve-wracking moment. If May's relationship reveal was a message delivered in words, June's ceremonial pitch was the scene that showed that message in a single photograph.

What "I Can't See" Changed — Braille Supplements and a Second Essay

The final question is what this figure — followed by 1.75 million people — has changed off-screen through his influence. One answer is the Braille printed on a single supplement product.

According to one outlet, Oneshot Hansol shared as content his journey of challenging a dog agility competition as a blind person, and during that preparation the supplement brand From the Cell, which he fed to Tori, introduced a product with Braille labeling for the visually impaired. It is a case in which one creator's condition of "I can't see" nudged the accessibility standard of a product package forward by one notch. In the same vein, how advertising interlocks with a channel's appeal — as with the LG Electronics sponsorship analysis — only comes into focus when you look at it inside the channel's everyday format.

His influence extends beyond video, too. He is also an author who published a second essay, "How to Love Without Regret." Cross-exposure among celebrities is lively as well: according to one entertainment outlet, comedian Lee Kyung-kyu met Tori on his own channel and showed an appetite for adoption, saying, "Come live at our house."

There is one thing worth flagging, though. The relationship reveal and the ceremonial pitch are volatile, fleeting topics, while the force that keeps the channel running every day is not events but the everyday format of Tori skit Shorts. Confusing the buzz with the channel's essence leads to misreading it. Events create spikes, but the daily comedy holds up the floor of those 1.75 million subscribers.

The table below sums up Oneshot Hansol the person at a glance.

As the table shows, Oneshot Hansol is not a single event but a person branching out into dogs, companionship, accessibility, and essays. Accessibility collaborations and challenge content that take his "I can't see" as a starting point — like the From the Cell Braille supplement — are likely to continue into the next quarter, and the second essay reads as a signal of IP expansion beyond video.
