Hani Stays Silent On EXID’s 12th Debut Anniversary Due To Yang Jae-woong Controversy?

On August 13th, EXID celebrated the 12th anniversary of their debut (August 13th, 2012). Leader Solji shared congratulatory messages from fans and said, “Thanks to you guys, I was able to recall memories. My beloved members and Legos (EXID’s fandom). I will love you guys forever”.

LE posted a group photo and added the caption, “Happy 12th anniversary. This is my favorite group photo”. Hyelin and Junghwa also celebrated the group’s 12th debut anniversary through SNS. However, Hani has not posted anything nor shared the members’ posts.

Hani’s silence seems to be because of the controversy over a patient’s death at her groom-to-be Yang Jae-woong’s hospital. In particular, A, a woman in her 30s, was found dead at the mental hospital run by Yang Jae-woong in July.

A was hospitalized to treat addiction to dieting pills containing drugs but died after 17 days due to pseudo-intestinal obstruction. The bereaved family filed a criminal complaint with the Korea National Human Rights Commission against Yang Jae-woong and other medical staff on charges of professional negligence.

As the video recorded the scene at the hospital spread, netizens poured criticism on Yang Jae-woong. As a result, he released an apology via his agency Mystic Story.

Hani and Yang Jae-woong began dating publicly in 2022. Earlier in May, the two announced on SNS that they would get married in September.
