In January 2024, a photograph shared by HyunA and Yong Jun Hyung sparked widespread discussion, appearing to confirm their romantic relationship.
Jun Hyung tacitly acknowledged the relationship in a fan post, acknowledging the surprising revelation. Subsequently, both individuals faced criticism, particularly highlighting Yong Jun Hyung’s connection to the Burning Sun Scandal.
HyunA’s supporters announced their withdrawal of support due to moral concerns regarding her relationship with Jun Hyung.
Both celebrities have maintained a low profile online following the initial backlash. HyunA briefly posted and then deleted a photo shortly after the criticism emerged. Her recent return to social media was met with mixed reactions, failing to garner unanimous approval.
On February 7, HyunA shared a series of photos on Instagram showcasing a pair of Boss sunglasses. The accompanying hashtags confirmed that the post was an advertisement.
The comments on the post were a mix of support and criticism for the idol. Some expressed disbelief that she would post an advertisement without acknowledging the recent controversy.
Others came to HyunA’s defense, asserting that her personal life is nobody’s business and suggesting that those who have an issue should simply refrain from interacting with her.
