According to a report from Korean news outlet YTN, HyunA and Yong Junhyung are set to marry on October 11. The news quickly caught the attention of Yong Junhyung’s agency BLACK MADE, who stated that they will be looking into the reports to confirm their validity.

According to sources within the industry, HyunA and Yong Junhyung have a strong bond of trust and empathy, and have been close friends for a considerable period of time. These insiders also revealed that following their romantic relationship, the couple ultimately made the decision to tie the knot.

On January 18, the couple made their relationship public by simultaneously posting a photo on a beach, where they can be seen holding hands.

Despite receiving support from some, Yong Junhyung and HyunA’s relationship also faced backlash due to his involvement in the 2019 Burning Sun scandal. As a result, HyunA has seen a decrease in her social media following and a decline in her reputation within the K-pop community.

Despite the news of HyunA’s marriage to Yong Junhyung, netizens continued to share their reactions and were deeply divided. On July 6, HyunA’s latest post on Instagram was bombarded with comments from frustrated netizens. See some of their responses below:

“Unnie, please rethink the marriage.”

“My respect for you has completely vanished.”

“Dating is shocking, but even marriage? Are you thinking of retiring?”

“Are you serious? Getting married to him?”

“Ending your career like this. Marriage with a criminal lol.”

“You’re a disappointment, Hyuna!”

“Flop, flop. I can’t wait until you go away! She’s probably preggo too with this quick wedding.”

“It’s really disappointing that a woman who gave me strength in the past is marrying a man who has hurt women.”

“A person who marries someone involved in the burning sun scandal must most likely be mentally ill.”
