HyunA recently revealed that she is dating former Highlight member Junhyung, causing a stir among netizens.
On January 18, HyunA shared a photo on her social media with the emoticon "?❤️?," confirming her relationship with Junhyung.
The former Highlight member also posted the same photo on his Instagram, depicting the couple holding hands and strolling down a beach.
The two had previously been seen together at the '2016 F/W Hera Seoul Fashion Week,' displaying a close connection even back then.
They had collaborated on the track "A Bitter Day" for HyunA's solo album 'Bubble Pop' during their time at Cube Entertainment when HyunA was part of 4minute and Junhyung was part of BEAST/B2ST (now Highlight).
Fans and netizens had varied reactions to the news, expressing disappointment, surprise, and even some support.
Some praised HyunA for her openness about her dating life, while others couldn't help but share their concerns.
Here's what netizens had to say:
"Disappointed by HyunA. You can't play the girl crush image and then date someone who clearly had no respect for women."
"Props to HyunA for not keeping her relationships under wraps. That openness is rare for a K-pop idol."
"I wish she stayed with Dawn. At least he was unproblematic."
"It's her choice. Personal freedom and privacy matter. Everyone deserves a second chance, right?"
"I've supported HyunA since day one, but this is disappointing. Gutted, really."
"Not a fan of this relationship. HyunA, what are you thinking?"
"This ain't it. Not the guy from the Burning Sun scandal. Lost all respect for HyunA now."
"That was a downgrade. HyunA, please for the love of God."
"If only Hyunseung joined Highlight, then she'd be dating the wrong Trouble Maker."
"I'm happy for Hyuna, but I hope Junhyung treats her well."
"Sad for Dawn, but also happy for HyunA. Hope he treats her well. Don't quite know him."
"I wouldn't brag about dating him. Keep it low-key, girl."
