In a surprising turn of events, K-pop star HyunA (현아) has found herself at the centre of controversy following her recent engagement announcement to former HIGHLIGHT/BEAST (하이라이트/ 비스트) member Yong Junhyung (용준형). The engagement has sparked significant controversy and criticism among netizens, especially in light of Junhyung’s past involvement in the Burning Sun scandal.

Known for her bold persona and feminist stance, HyunA has always been a figure of intrigue in the Korean entertainment industry. However, her decision to tie the knot with Junhyung has led to fans and critics questioning her alignment with feminist ideals she’s been known to represent.

This isn’t the first time the “Bubble Pop!” singer has found herself under the microscope regarding her personal life. Previously known for her outspoken views and bold persona, her evolving stance on marriage has raised eyebrows. “I was proposed to not too long ago, but I don’t want to get married,” she said. Her change in stance has left some fans questioning the sincerity of her earlier remarks, further fueling the backlash online.

The engagement has also brought comparisons to the idol’s previous relationship with Dawn (던), former member of PENTAGON (펜타곤). Many netizens feel that he made considerable sacrifices for HyunA’s career, including leaving his group, which they believe affected his own professional trajectory negatively. This contrast has fueled sympathy for him and intensified criticism towards her.

The controversy has also resurrected discussions surrounding the Burning Sun scandal, particularly following revelations in a BBC documentary involving the late Goo Hara (구하라), who is JunHyung’s ex-girlfriend. The documentary revealed that she had helped with investigations in the Burning Sun case whilst dealing with her own case of sexual abuse from her ex-boyfriend, Choi Jong Bum.

Following HyunA’s announcement, many netizens slammed idol for her decision, claiming that it’s disrespectful towards Hara. Both Hara and HyunA were part of the “Invincible Youth” cast and maintained a friendship after the show went off air. This led many to feel weird about HyunA tying the knot with her friend’s ex, especially given his supposed ties to the Burning Sun case. Here’s what netizens have to say:
