On July 14th, Dawn posted a photo on his Instagram story.
In the photo, Dawn, dressed casually, is sitting on a sofa and taking a picture of himself through a full-length mirror.
Dawn attracted attention by significantly clearing out his account feed while uploading new posts.
When his ex-girlfriend, singer HyunA, and Yong Jun-hyung announced their marriage on July 8th, Dawn had still kept couple photos with HyunA from their past relationship on his feed, which sparked debate. Dawn’s feed even included kissing photos with HyunA, raising concerns about whether it might make HyunA’s groom-to-be, Yong Jun-hyung, uncomfortable.
HyunA also kept her couple photos with Dawn on her account, maintaining a promise they had made. When appearing on MBC’s entertainment program “Radio Star” in 2019, Dawn said, “HyunA and I decided not to delete our SNS photos even if we break up. We believe dating, breaking up and meeting again are natural things and memories.”
However, the promise to keep traces of an old lover forever became meaningless in the face of reality. Seemingly conscious of recent public opinion, Dawn deleted all traces of HyunA from his account, leaving only 15 photos of his activities. Meanwhile, HyunA’s feed still contains photos of Dawn.
Meanwhile, Dawn and HyunA began publicly dating in 2016 and announced their breakup in 2022.
On July 8th, Yong Jun-hyung’s agency, Blackmade, told Star News, “Yong Jun-hyung and HyunA, with deep affection and trust for each other, will hold a wedding ceremony in October with close acquaintances. We appreciate your loving interest and congratulations for Yong Jun-hyung as he starts a new chapter in life as a married man.”
HyunA’s agency, At Area, also stated, “HyunA and Yong Jun-hyung, who have been a great comfort to each other during difficult times, promised to marry as a culmination of their love. They will hold a ceremony in October with close acquaintances and start a new life together.”
