HyunA Faces Crisis After Announcing Her Marriage to Yong Junhyung
There are speculations that singer HyunA might be facing a backlash after announcing her marriage to Yong Junhyung.
There are speculations that singer HyunA might be facing a backlash after announcing her marriage to Yong Junhyung. On the 13th, HyunA performed as a guest singer at the ‘Summer Night Race’ held at Everland in Yongin.
That day, HyunA dazzled the event with a parade of hit songs, including her new track ‘Q&A,’ ‘I’m Not Cool,’ ‘Lip & Hip,’ ‘Red,’ and ‘Bubble Pop.’
After the performance, videos of her stage began to spread across various online communities. In the video, HyunA is seen passionately singing while wearing a short skirt and a form-fitting top with a collar.
However, the video caught attention because it featured the text “THE SILENCE BE GOING WILD” (침묵이 들끓고 있다). In reality, during her performance of ‘I’m Not Cool,’ HyunA tried to elicit a response from the audience by passing the microphone to them, but the crowd did not seem to respond enthusiastically.
This phenomenon continued during her performance of the beloved hit song ‘Bubble Pop.’ Although HyunA encouraged audience participation by saying “Let’s all sing together,” the audience remained silent.
Viewers of the video reacted to this unusual lack of response, noting that it was different from the usual enthusiasm seen at HyunA’s performances. Comments included, “It’s the first time I’ve seen ‘Bubble Pop’ in silence,” “Even HyunA is experiencing this,” and “She brought this on herself.”
In relation to this, a Brazilian media outlet reported that HyunA has sunk her career with her own hands, noting the continued cold public reaction following her marriage announcement.
On the other hand, some argue that the event HyunA attended was not conducive to a large audience reaction. One netizen mentioned, “The audience at that event were families, so that might be the reason,” and “The photos of the audience showed they were very far away.”
Despite these explanations, the public’s view of HyunA remains cold. Since starting a public relationship with Yong Junhyung in January of this year, HyunA’s announcement of their upcoming marriage has raised concerns among many, especially due to Yong Junhyung’s involvement in the illegal filming scandal during the Burning Sun Gate in 2019.
In response, Yong Junhyung posted on his Instagram that he had received illegal filming materials but felt wronged, and he made another clarification after five years. However, this also seemed insufficient to move the public’s opinion.
Could this have affected HyunA as well? HyunA was scheduled to conduct a North American tour in August, including in New York, Chicago, and LA, but she has canceled it entirely. While there are known cases where overseas performances are canceled if ticket sales do not meet expectations, the negative public sentiment has led to speculation that HyunA is indeed facing the fallout from her marriage announcement.
