Despite their plans to marry on October 11, Hyuna and Yong Junhyung (former member of BEAST/HIGHLIGHT) are facing criticism due to Yong Junhyung’s involvement in the Burning Sun scandal and Hyuna’s close friendship with Goo Hara, Yong Junhyung’s ex-girlfriend.
Since the couple’s wedding photos were released, there has been much speculation among South Korean netizens about the list of well-known guests who will be attending. Due to the controversy surrounding this couple, there is a possibility that those who attend the wedding may face criticism. As a result, it is believed by many netizens that only those who are willing to take the risk of damaging their reputation will be present at Hyuna and Yong Junhyung’s wedding. It is highly likely that only members of BEAST/HIGHLIGHT and 4Minute, the groups that Yong Junhyung and Hyuna were previously a part of, will be in attendance.
The comments section of South Korean internet users is bustling:
- “I really hope the celebrities I like won’t attend.”
- “Will celebrities close to both Goo Hara and Hyuna attend? Once the wedding date was announced, they probably hurried to schedule overseas activities.”
- “Imagine if your friend who committed suicide was dating a guy, and now that guy is marrying your close friend. Could you support that?”
- “I think Jo Hyun Ah will attend.”
- “If celebrities receive invitations, it will create an awkward situation. Should they choose reputation or friendship?”
- “Unless it’s BEAST or 4Minute members, anyone attending the wedding will be criticized.”
- “I think I will stop supporting celebrities who attend their wedding.”
- “I hope Hyuna and Yong Junhyung will have a small wedding so their famous friends won’t be put in a difficult position.”
- “I wish they would leave the entertainment industry altogether.”
- “I think celebrities will still attend.”
The internet was abuzz on January 18, 2024, when Hyuna and Yong Junhyung shared photos of themselves holding hands on their personal social media accounts. Their relationship was met with public disapproval, as Yong Junhyung had been previously involved in the Burning Sun scandal and had subsequently left his group. Adding to the controversy, Hyuna is also close friends with Goo Hara, who had previously dated Yong Junhyung.
In August, Hyuna and Junhyung made an unexpected announcement of their upcoming marriage. According to sources close to the couple, their decision to tie the knot was based on their strong trust in each other. This news came as a surprise to fans, considering that Hyuna and Yong Junhyung had only been dating publicly for seven months before deciding to get married. However, despite speculations that Hyuna might be expecting their first child, her management agency quickly denied these rumors.
