Rrumors of a romantic relationship between former HIGHLIGHT member Yong Junhyung and HyunA were sparked following the two’s hand-holding photo on HyunA’s Instagram.
This has brought Junhyung’s connection to the Burning Sun scandal back into the spotlight.
Yong Junhyung’s association with the Burning Sun controversy surfaced in November 24, 2018. Investigations of the case uncovered a complex network of crimes, including sexual harassment, gambling, drug distribution, and sexual assault.
A particularly shocking revelation was the exposure of group chats sharing secretly recorded sex videos (molka). While Jung Joon Young was a prominent participant, Junhyung, along with Choi Jonghoon and Lee Jonghyun, also found themselves entangled in this controversial web.
Charges were brought against Jung Joon Young and Choi Jonghoon for the possession of illegally obtained videos and gang rape. Junhyung refuted the claims of being a sender of the videos but later admitted to receiving videos from Jung Joon Young. He apologized, emphasizing his role as a witness and withdrew from HIGHLIGHT.
In response to recent events, Black Made, Yong Junhyung’s agency, told the media on January 19, expressing difficulty in confirming details due to the artist’s private life and requesting understanding. AT AREA, HyunA’s agency, also refrained from commenting.
