HyunA Shows Fortitude Despite Burning Sun Documentary Criticism “Japan Trip with Yong Jun-hyung?”

Singer HyunA attracts attention as she appears to have enjoyed a date in Japan with her boyfriend, former Highlight (BEAST) member Yong Jun-hyung

On May 28th, HyunA posted several photos on her account.

In the photos, HyunA is seen enjoying a hearty meal, shopping and browsing cute accessories while traveling in Japan.

Based on the silhouette reflected on the wall of the clothing store, it is speculated that the person taking photos of HyunA is her boyfriend Yong Jun-hyung.

Despite receiving critical comments related to Yong Jun-hyung recently, HyunA seems to be enjoying her time leisurely.

On May 19th, a documentary titled “Burning Sun: Exposing the secret K-pop chat groups” was uploaded on the YouTube channel “BBC News Korea”.

In addition to the revelations of Burning Sun victims, videos directly taken by those involved in the Burning Sun scandal as well as messages were released, causing shock.

Yong Jun-hyung was embroiled in suspicions of being involved in the Burning Sun scandal in March 2019. At the time, he clarified that he was not part of the group chat room but admitted to having received illegal footage from Jung Joon-young in private.

Following this, Yong Jun-hyung left Highlight and enlisted in the military later that year. Despite resuming his activities after discharge, he continued without issuing a proper apology, leading to further criticism.

Accordingly, HyunA, who began a public relationship with Yong Jun-hyung in January, has faced comments on her account such as “Watch BBC now” and “Your boyfriend is involved“, referencing the Burning Sun documentary.
