K-Pop sensation HyunA has taken to her Instagram to update her fans and followers with a revelation of her personal life. She has announced that her relationship status has changed and is now dating former Highlight member Junhyung.
She dropped this news right after many rumors surfaced about her getting back together with ex-boyfriend Dawn, who was a renowned couple for almost six years and broke it off in 2022.
On January 18, HyunA posted an adorable photo where the two were seen holding each other’s hands and walking on a beach, captioning it with one lovey-dovey emoticon, and tagging Yong Jun-hyung. The same day, the rapper also posted the same photo on his Instagram.
Fans, however, don’t seem to have positive reactions to them getting together. One netizen stated, “girl… he was apart of the BURNING SUN scandal.”
Another said, “oh ABSOLUTELY NOT. please take 10 large steps away from him.”
While a third one said, “shamelessly dating a sex offender is not a cute look for you — try therapy instead <3.”
For those unaware, Yong Jun-hyung was affiliated with The Burning Sun scandal, which was an entertainment and sex scandal in Seoul in 2019, that involved various Korean idols, including his former Highlight member Jung Joon-young, and police officials.
Meanwhile, their agencies have refused to comment on their relationship. Junhyung’s agency, BLACK MADE, stated, “Because it’s a personal matter, it’s difficult for us to confirm.”, HyunA’s agency AT AREA responded by saying, “We are not involved with our artist’s personal life.”
