On this day, Jo Hyun Ah asked where HyunA and her boyfriend, Yong Jun Hyung, liked to hang out and asked if it was difficult to date publicly because they were so recognizable. HyunA then responded that the couple didn’t mind the attention.

Once we went to The Hyundai (mall). People saw us together, but thankfully, everyone minded their business, and nobody asked to take pictures. I was so thankful. Seeing how we weren’t (bothered) at The Hyundai, we decided to go out more often.

HyunA then addressed the criticism the couple has received stemming from the fact that Yong Jun Hyung was involved in the infamous Burning Sun scandal.

To be honest, I am very aware of what people think, but if I pay attention to that and chase the public’s approval, there are times when I lose the value of happiness. And so, rather than (people’s approval), I focus on myself right now.

Despite HyunA’s declaration of love, the idol’s comments were hit with immediate backlash. According to reports, the YouTube video has been flooded with negative comments about her relationship.

  • “I can’t believe she’s dating Jung Joon Young’s friend Yong Joon Hyung.”
  • “I think they made a mistake of bringing her on to the show. The show’s already doing well, so why did you need to bring HyunA on?”
  • “You are the company you keep.”
  • “As someone who liked HyunA, I don’t mind her dating, but why is she so shamelessly flaunting her relationship with a Burning Sun hidden camera villain?”
  • “Your fans aren’t obligated to understand your relationship. Why are you flaunting your relationship everywhere you go?”
  • “It’s so weird that she’s dating her late friend’s (Goo Hara) ex-boyfriend.”
  • “I am unsubscribing.”
