Despite the song’s success, Hani, the star of the song, is unable to find joy or happiness as she is currently caught up in a controversy involving her fiancé, Yang Jae-woong.
Released on August 27th, 2014, EXID’s third digital single “Up & Down”initially did not receive much attention. However, in October of that year, a fan-cam of Hani went viral online, reigniting interest in the song. Gradually, it climbed the charts and reached the top spot on Melon’s music chart on Christmas Eve 2014. This unexpected resurgence not only garnered the group several music show wins but also solidified their position in the competitive K-pop industry.
LE recently shared commemorative photos on social media in celebration of the 10th anniversary of “Up & Down”on August 27th, 2024. These photos captured special memories from the song’s promotional period, including candid moments of the EXID members. This milestone holds great significance for the group.
Despite the ongoing celebrations, Hani has been unable to participate due to the aftermath of a recent scandal involving her fiancé, psychiatrist Yang Jae-woong. On July 26th, it was revealed that a patient at Yang Jae-woong’s hospital had passed away two months prior while receiving treatment for diet drug addiction. Yang Jae-woong has since issued an apology, expressing profound remorse for the incident.
Despite Hani’s personal and professional achievements, the scandal has taken precedence. It was during this time that Hani revealed her engagement to Yang Jae-woong, but the news was overshadowed by the patient’s passing. This resulted in Hani facing backlash and feeling a moral obligation towards the situation. Although she is not legally obligated to address the matter, it has put her under intense scrutiny.
Despite the speculation that Hani and Yang Jae-woong may postpone their wedding, she continues to remain silent. While celebrating EXID’s 12th debut anniversary and the 10th anniversary of their hit song “Up & Down”, Hani is facing challenges in finding happiness due to the ongoing controversy surrounding her fiancé. The public is eagerly anticipating her response to the situation.
