During an appearance on “Jo Hyun-ah’s Thursday Night,” HyunA’s choice of attire sparked controversy as she wore a T-shirt with the phrase “Siri, block ex number.” Given her past relationship with Dawn, formerly of the Pentagon, many speculated that the message was directed at her ex-boyfriend, prompting concerns among netizens about the potential lack of consideration for Dawn’s feelings.

Despite their breakup, both continued to work in the same entertainment industry circles, leading to heightened scrutiny of their interactions. The T-shirt incident reignited discussions about their past relationship and the dynamics between the two.
Additionally, HyunA’s current relationship with Yong Jun-hyung faced criticism due to his involvement in a previous controversy related to illegal filming. Despite announcing their relationship in January, fans and netizens expressed mixed reactions, highlighting the complexities surrounding HyunA’s romantic life and public image.
The controversy surrounding HyunA’s T-shirt choice underscores the delicate balance between personal expression and public perception, raising questions about responsibility and consideration in the public eye.
