HyunA And Yong Junhyung: Aren’t They A Couple Now?
While posting their picture of holdings hands each other, HyunA also asked fans to “please look upon them favorably.” It was on 18 January (KST), that the most was made, leaving everyone in shock. Not just that, HyunA and Yong Junhyung also got spotted together at a restaurant, probably in November 2023. The owner shared the pictures of their autographs and thanked them for the visit.
Netizens decided on HyunA and Yong Junhyung on social media, disapproving it completely. One person wrote, “Even if she wants to date, why someone like him?” Another wrote, “Whatever it is, this is shocking.”
Knowing the hatred towards HyunA’s alleged boyfriend, Yong Junhyung, you must be wondering the reason behind it. Right? Well, the former Highlight singer previously got himself involved with the Burning Sun scandal, in South Korea. He admitted to being the witness of the chaos, sparking controversies. But, he denied having filmed or spread any sort of illegal content.
What’s this Burning Sun scandal? It was on 24 November 2018, a man named- Kim Sang Kyowas reportedly assaulted at the Burning Sun. It’s a club owned by the star Seungri. Why was he assaulted suddenly? It happened after he tried to help a woman who was getting sexually abused at the scene. Later, when investigated, it was found that several illegal activities like gambling, drug distribution, and sexual assault, took place.
Because Yong Junhyung reportedly was a witness to the above scandal, fans didn’t want HyunA to date him. Some turned out to be so protective that they didn’t even support their long-time friendship.
Following their social media posts, HyunA and Yong Junhyung may have been dating, for the last few months. We aren’t very sure about what’s cooking between these Kpop singers.
On the other hand, since there was no official confirmation of their romantic affair, many people didn’t conclude anything. Some even claimed that HyunA and Yong Junhyung might be collaborating on an upcoming project. What do you think? Well, in that case, by “Please look upon them favorably”, HyunA might be asking the fans to support their upcoming project. We aren’t sure if she dropped a hint about their romance or something else.
Back in 2016, HyunA and Yong Junhyung were interviewed together. The hosts indirectly asked about their friendship, in case it was beyond that. In response to that, the Highlight singer shared that they were just friends at the time- they talked about music.
Best Wishes to HyunA and Yong Junhyung for the upcoming days. It’s their lives and both are consenting adults. Make sure to follow these Kpop stars on their respective Instagram accounts for more updates.
