Hyuna's Troubled Times: Unprecedented Career Challenges Following Marriage News

Hyuna has always been in the limelight for her bold personality and musical talent. Recently, her personal life took center stage once again when news broke about her dating and planning to marry Yong Junhyung, former Beast/Highlight member in October of the current year. This revelation has led to various developments in her life and career, sparking significant controversy among fans and netizens. Here's a comprehensive look at what has transpired in Hyuna's life over the time frame of one month, since the marriage news.

Moving On from Dawn In mid-July, following the controversy stirred by her marriage news, Hyuna has taken significant steps to erase traces of her past relationship and deleted all photos of her ex-boyfriend Dawn from her Instagram account. Despite previously promising never to delete photos of each other, she has removed at least 482 pictures from her account. This drastic action has sparked speculation among fans and followers, suggesting it may be due to her impending marriage to Junhyung. Interestingly, the only remaining "signs" of Dawn are his name written on her solo photos from their “PING PONG” release for the album 1+1=1. According to Xports News, Hyuna had kept photos of Dawn on her Instagram for a year and six months since their breakup.

Public Backlash and Career Impact Hyuna, who was previously known for her impeccable career and controversies mainly centered around her provocative lyrics and outfits, now faces unprecedented backlash due to her association with Junhyung. The public's reaction has been predominantly negative, with many expressing constant disappointment and concern over her choice of partner. This backlash has had tangible effects on her career, including the cancellation of her North American tour — an unprecedented event for an artist of her stature.

Recent Performances and Public Perception Hyuna's stage performances have frequently been in the spotlight, but recent events have amplified public scrutiny. During her performance at the Super Race Championship’s Summer Night Race, Hyuna faced criticism for her attitude on stage. Some audience members and critics accused her of being unprofessional, citing her apparent lack of enthusiasm and engagement during the performance. This controversy quickly escalated, with fans and detractors weighing in on her stage presence. The criticism became a hot topic, particularly after a video clip of the performance went viral. In the footage, the crowd's response was markedly muted compared to previous events and Hyuna's performance was perceived as lacking energy compared to her usual high standards. Supporters noted that the usually enthusiastic cheers and applause were significantly diminished but argued that the criticism was unfair and that Hyuna's stage presence remains exceptional, pointing to her history of energetic and captivating performances. However, others felt that she needed to address these concerns more seriously to maintain her reputation. This change in audience behavior has been attributed to the widespread backlash Hyuna has faced due to her association with Junhyung. The silent crowds have sparked discussions among fans and netizens about the impact of personal controversies on an artist's professional life. Some supporters argue that Hyuna's talent and dedication to her craft should be the primary focus, while others believe that her choice of partner has inevitably influenced public opinion and reception. This development highlights the challenging dynamics between an artist's personal and professional lives, and the significant influence of public sentiment on their career.

Appearance Changes and Media Attention In addition to this, Hyuna has faced unwarranted backlash over her appearance. Some netizens criticized her looks, claiming she had undergone too many changes. This prompted fans to rally in her defense, emphasizing the pressure and scrutiny female idols often endure. The debate highlighted the double standards and unrealistic beauty expectations imposed on K-pop stars. During her visit to Taiwan in August 2nd, Hyuna was spotted looking significantly different from her usual self, leading to a wave of reactions online. Some fans were shocked, while others admired her new look. This incident added to the ongoing conversation about her evolving image and the impact of public opinion on her career. Despite the mixed reactions, Hyuna continues to maintain her unique style and charisma, proving her resilience in the face of constant scrutiny.

Career and Future Prospects Despite the personal and professional challenges, Hyuna remains a prominent figure in the K-pop industry. Her relationship with Junhyung has garnered significant attention, but she continues to focus on her music and performances. Fans eagerly await her future projects, hoping to see more of her dynamic talent and vibrant personality on stage. However, the current backlash and career setbacks present significant hurdles that she must navigate carefully. As Hyuna navigates these challenges, her future in the K-pop industry remains uncertain. The support from her loyal fans will be crucial as she works to rebuild her career and public image. While the path ahead may be difficult, Hyuna's resilience and determination should be key in overcoming these adversities and continuing her journey in the music world.

Through ups and downs, I've been a fan of Hyuna for over a decade, and I can see that this seems to be the hardest period of her public life so far. Those who follow Hyuna have seen her perform while sick, be hospitalized during 4Minute's crucial comeback in 2013, return to the stage while still recovering, go through a crisis with the end of her group which was displayed publicly through her reality show, perform disoriented after the revelation of her relationship with Dawn during Triple H's last comeback, and endure hate from all sides for various reasons. But I don't believe anyone has seen her as she appears now. At least, I haven't. And it breaks my heart.

We don't know her private life, her feelings, or her motivations for acting so differently from what was expected of her. Therefore, I wish that she continues to be the strong woman she has always been and that her choices always bring her well-being, light, and happiness. I can't ask everyone to understand her or change their opinion, but please send positive vibes to the one you always admired, who provided you with so many happy moments in whatever way she could. She's still the same, don't forget that.

Editing: To be honest, I didn't wrote this post to defend Hyuna - it's not my intention. My point was to summarize her events, but I felt the need to convey in some way the feelings I have as someone who had her as some kind of role model for so long. Despite all the justified words and actions around the world, I have a heavy feeling seeing her recently, and all I can do, as a fellow human being, is to wish her good things so she stays strong.

30 Day Kpop Challenge: Day 8

youtube

Your first male bias/ultimate bias: Yong Junhyung (former BEAST/Highlight member) ❤️ Since sometime December 2010. The first member i noticed/my first Kpop crush was Gikwang and i thought maybe he would end up being my bias, but i was always very drawn towards Junhyung, and while watching B2ST Almighty towards the end of 2010, especially the Pikachu mailbox scene, i just knew that Junhyung was my bias/ult bias ❤️ Good times!

Heyy! Saw your post about hyuna, what is the lore with that guy? Besides obviously that he’s a criminal

Idk if this is a genuine question but I'm gonna answer it as such but tldr: I initially said that because people were comparing him to Dawn when him and Hyuna have known each other their entire careers and newer kpop fans don't know who Junhyung is so they are confused wondering how they know each other/calling him a rebound

But 1st Junhyung isn't a criminal, not excusing anything but he was never charged with anything he was a witness and bystander in the Molka situation (which a lot of people are confusing for Burning Sun because they happened around the same time but different situations). Basically Junhyung was friends with Jung Joon Yung (which a lot of people think IS Junhyung but no different guys) who was found to have a group chat spreading around illegal videos taken of men sleeping with women without their consent. Junhyung being friends with him was accused of being in the group chat, he denied it, then when the police got a warrant for his phone history it came out that he WASN'T in the infamous group chat HOWEVER! He was in a solo chat with JJY and was sent an illegal video of him sleeping with a girl. In the end he was a witness and bystander who didn't come forward with that information, which is bad of course.

I have mixed feelings about it because I was a fan of his for over a decade and was extremely disappointed in him. He admitted what he did was wrong and he should've come forward with it when it happened but yeah.... Its just a hard topic I hate him for it but at the same time idk complex feelings

Long post because I ended up writing more than I intended to... but hey 15ish years of history am I right?

Now the LORE with Hyuna and Junhyung is that they debuted around the same time in 4minute and Beast under the same company, Cube. He was featured in her solo debut song: Change. They also were paired together A LOT in Cube family performances because they had similar positions in their group (rappers). They basically became really good friends:

They were so close in a way you don't see kpop idols do now and days with the opposite sex and of course people began to ship them because it seemed like they were flirting.

Then Junhyung began dating Goo Hara and Hyuna joined a sub-unit called Troublemaker with his bandmate at the time, Hyunseung. They kinda cooled on their friendship in the public, probably out of respect for his girlfriend and not wanting to be shipped with his friend. And Hyuna played up a stage relationship with Hyunseung to the point people thought THEY were dating but tbh It was probably an image thing. (funny story Junhyung came up with the name troublemakers lol)

So nothing was seen about them for YEARS even after him and Hara broke up, until like 2016? After 4minute disbanded Hyuna went solo and stayed with Cube, which is a whole long other tangent. But they appeared on a show together called "Happy together". Junhyung hated going on talk/variety shows because he's incredibly shy but he did it for once and it was with Hyuna so it was kind of a big deal. They still appeared close as friends and Hyuna tried to make him feel more comfortable on camera.

Then Hyuna had a show called X19, which is kinda hard to find now and days, but it was a reality show to prepare for her new album. During it she had a meal with Junhyung where they talked openly and you got to see more of their friendship openly for the first time in ages. I mean if you watch that video of them eating I feel like you can tell he had feelings for her idk the way he looked at her... But in that chat they talked about the public pressure to be seen a certain way that is expected of them. For Hyuna it was being hyper sexual in her music and performances because that's what people expected of her. Junhyung says he wishes for her to stop doing what other people want and do what she wanted and that he hoped she could do something she enjoyed. Then she brings up the fact that he had promised to make a song for her (he is a writer, producer and composer) and he says "ah yeah it didn't turn out"

Anywayyys it was cute and if you were curious you could watch it here with subs

After this stretch of promo with them (they also attended a fashion show together) Junhyung and the remaining members of Beast would leave Cube ent and start their own company and change their name to Highlight. This would be the last we'd see of them together publicly until well... now

I'm sure I don't have to tell people about her and Dawn and their history but they started dating after Junhyung left Cube.

There's a lot more to the lore like other collabs they did, the songs they released that seemed to be about each other (mainly from his side) but that's probably just going into delulu land so I'll avoid that.

But yeah If you read this far thanks for listening to me ramble and try to explain 15ish years of lore as brief as possible.

Hyuna and Junhyung...

Now, when we speak about "dating scandals" in the realms of k-pop, it's usually tongue in cheek and not a real scandal. In this case, it might actually be scandalous for real. Former Cube employees Hyuna and Junhyung have confirmed to be dating. Not the first public relationship for either, but why is this one gathering so much backlash? For that, we have to go back to the year 2019...

Seungri and his shady friends owned a club called "Burning Sun" where all kinds of illegal things were happening (including drug use, human trafficking, rape, etc.). He and others involved were prosecuted on charges, including prostitution mediation, sharing illegally filmed content (molka), and embezzlement. Junhyung was amongst those friends involved, he admitted to watching illegal videos (molka) sent to him by Jung Joon Young (who went to prison for his crimes like Seungri). He left his group Beast/Highlight and only recently made his return to the entertainment industry.

Fast forward, Hyuna (who's made a name for herself as a feminist) is now dating this POS and wants her fans to "Please view us prettily." Of course many fans are disappointed and don't understand why she would date someone who allegedly mistreated ex-girlfriends and watched molka for fun. It doesn't align with her values nor with her message of female empowerment. She also shared how much she was sexualized and disrespected by the entertainment industry (true), so to throw those values away and date a guy like him... is weird to say the least. I don't know if they're a real couple or if this is PR for upcoming music, either way, I don't give a s#t. Good luck you two!

[EXCLUSIVE/INTERVIEW] 121223 The scene when Yong Junhyung came to Taiwan was shocking/suprising. Fans are the biggest motivation, "trying hard to get better."

Korean singer Yong Junhyung is coming to Taiwan again after a break of four months and will hold a concert at Taipei Xinyi Theater Legacy MAX this Saturday (16th). In an exclusive interview with this newspaper in Seoul recently, he said that he was very happy to be able to perform in Taiwan in a short time. Fulfilling his promise of "coming to Taiwan as soon as possible" last time, it is even more meaningful during his birthday week. He will also present the first song "Fall Into Blue", which will be released on his birthday on the 19th, to Taiwanese fans. "In addition to the distance, Christmas is just around the corner. “I feel very happy to be able to have a wonderful ending with everyone at the end of the year. I will also bring the last energy of this year to the performance. I hope everyone will come and spend a happy time with me. ”.

Yong Junhyung quit his group "HIGHLIGHT" (formerly: BEAST) in 2019. After a gap period of nearly three years, he announced the establishment of his new company BLACK MADE Entertainment. He held his first overseas performance in Taiwan in August this year. "The first reason I met overseas fans again was because of the existence of Taiwanese fans. This alone left a deep impression on me." He also admitted that before going on stage, he was more worried than excited, "Afraid of taking too long. It will be awkward for us not to meet each other, but the energy given by fans to me is much more than I imagined. It is a new album that was released not long ago, but the songs in it can still be sung loudly. I am very touched and have left a big impression in my heart. "Shocking", the scene at that time is still unforgettable.

Fans have always been his biggest motivation to move forward. Yong Junhyung said, "Everyone who had been waiting, supporting and giving me the strength to "get better." He also said that he is not good at expressing his feelings and often cannot respond immediately. Fans apologized for their love for him, but emphasized that they were trying hard to show it. Indeed, many people had shared that he would click on or even forward content that fans tagged him on IG. He said embarrassedly, "But occasionally I still see it. Fans said, "Why don't you read what I posted?" I will try my best to find more and read more, so I recently opened a chat software (fromm) that can communicate more with fans." At the same time, he revealed his desire to stand up His thoughts on the stage, "After meeting the fans, the emotions of regret and reluctance became stronger. Every time after the performance, I seemed to be eager to go to more places to meet the fans. I really wanted to have more." performance opportunities, so I want to continue to produce good music, which should be my most urgent thing at the moment."

When he was interviewed in Taiwan last time, he mentioned that he started to exercise in the gym for physical, mental and spiritual health. Yong Junhyung smiled and revealed: "But I am a little tired of heavy training these days. It does not mean that I have become lazy, but I am just in a transition period. , I want to find other interesting sports. If the weather is nice, I will occasionally go hiking, and I have also started bowling again." Then he shared that recently, rather than going to the studio, I often create at home with my guitar, "This time the new song adds the unique sensibility of the guitar, and also integrates winter elements into the song well. I hope everyone can feel it when listening to it." He also revealed that when encountering creative bottlenecks, in addition to letting himself take a rest first In addition, I occasionally look for inspiration through movies or TV series. Recently, I watched the movie "Believer 2" starring Zhao Zhenxiong, Cha Seung-won, and Han Hyo-joo on Netflix.

Yong Junhyung has composed hundreds of hits in the 14 years since his debut. In 2019, Yong Junhyung became a formal member of the Korean Music Copyright Association (KOMCA). He mentioned that he had previously said that instead of catering to the mass market before, he now wants to tell his inner story. Explaining, "When making music, if you are always concerned about the outside world's perspective, you will easily lose your direction. However, it does not mean that you are stubborn and completely ignore the audience's feelings. Of course, it still has to sound good and satisfy the audience. This is the basic Yes, this time I want to add what I want to say on this basis. I want to share some of my past feelings and emotions more comfortably. When listening, you will miss the past, but I have tried to make it not sound too old-school. "I have made some efforts", and I am indeed more relaxed when creating this time than before. "I don't have too many complicated ideas in my mind. I think if you write songs while worrying, the listeners can actually feel it, so I want to use made with a relaxed attitude, I hope everyone will like it."

Hey! Can you share your thoughts on Suga as an artist and a performer? This ask is inspired by all those gifs btw.

hi!! i have NOT forgotten about this ask, i promise. i was meant to answer this, like, a week ago, and then i got off track because my sister sent me a tweet and what can i say, i have the attention span and object permanence of a very small dog. sometimes. it HAPPENS. but i have not forgotten and that is why i am going to finally answer this.

under the cut because this is extremely long.

so, the thing is, it's been forever really since i've watched any bts live performances, they have just become so grating to me that i could simply NOT bear it, like. i have to love myself a little too, and i cannot deal with the rapid decline of their already subpar vocal standard, and the blatant disregard of the rap line's actual function. which is, you know. to rap. but all of this aside, i did sit down to relive the glory days of monster performances and, especially, rap line and yoongi solo performances.

which is why we will start this thing with my thoughts on yoongi as a performer. i even got out my hard drive with the bts concerts for this, which i haven't looked at in ages EITHER. *blows off the dust*

my favorite live performances he's done are: trivia: seesaw, outro: tear, cypher pt. 4, intro: never mind, boy with luv, and mic drop. i think? in that order. it's really been forever. honorable mention to interlude: shadow and black swan. black swan yoongi is something else and he shines in that song for reasons i will be getting into further down. it's kind of like the thesis of yoongi as a performer. but more to that later.

yoongi as a performer is very. hm. how do we get into this? this could (a/n: and will be!) be an endlessly long post. so, the main takeaway that i get whenever i watch yoongi is that he isn't a natural on stage. i think, whatever he does up there is hardly-fought-for and hardly-earned. yoongi is the kind of idol type that should not be an idol. that could not be suited less to be on an idol stage but he bodies it, because the yoongi who decided to become an idol is a product of his time and circumstance. the yoongi who became an idol is the kind of guy we saw in the late aughts and early 10s. the yoongi who is an idol can be traced back to a certain idol type that was super popular in the first and second generation of kpop, that only made it possible for a guy like yoongi to debut in the first place. you can draw a direct line from g-dragon, beast's junhyung, b.a.p's yongguk, block b's zico, and 2pm's taecyeon, to yoongi.

i have mentioned it before but pretty much everything bighit did with yoongi up until, like, 2016 (and especially during you never walk alone and the most beautiful moment in life) is quintessentially modeled after beast's junhyung. for good reason and unsurprisingly; beast was pretty much the biggest kpop group that existed at one point. yoongi and junhyung are the same type, visually and artistically, down to their similar vocal types. it's so obvious when you know what you're looking for. i had that epiphany when i was watching beast's 12:30 and good luck mv's.

anyways. yoongi is an introvert, above all, and you can tell when he performs. he will never know the sort of ease that hoseok possesses on stage, for example. when yoongi performs, he does not project his energy outwards. he is not a charisma bomb like hoseok or jimin, but he has a certain draw that makes you want to know more, look closer, keep your eyes on him at all times. he has a very commanding stage presence and especially up until 2018, there was a lot of anger and fury beating beneath yoongi's live performances. he mellowed out significantly for songs like boy with luv or dna, but if you watch him perform tear or seesaw or idol, you notice there is a certain sort of desperation that clings to him. that certain desperation wrote interlude: shadow, by the way. and i think he never let go of that feeling until he released that song (and black swan). everything had to be so immediate for yoongi when he performed. the energy he did project had no goal and was not aimed at anyone or anything; it just burst out of him. it's the kind of thing that drove him from the underground rap scene to the stage of wembley stadium.

that makes yoongi not the most likable performer in the world because he does not perform for anyone. when he is on stage, it is not for the crowd, it is for himself. i feel like yoongi spent the majority of his life as an idol proving something to the world at large, and to himself. to that kid that never thought he would make it there, but had all the swagger and arrogance to do whatever it took. (which is how we got idol yoongi)

something, something, this is why it all went down the drain after dynamite.

he shines in rap songs, unsurprisingly. yoongi is a passable, capable dancer, an okay singer if in his own range, but a very, very talented rapper. and his affinity for double time raps is driven by the desperation and fury i mentioned, i think, all the words he had to say had to get out somehow, no matter at what cost, and sometimes that meant squeezing them between the beats, the metronome. he is not just a 'fast talker'. in my opinion, that does a great disservice to his skillset. he is pretty good at what he does, actually. he is the most skilled rapper in bts, and bts has the second best rapline in the industry.

he is prone to arrogance, i know i already said that, and that makes him come across as plain unlikable very easily and has made him fuck up more than once. as a performer and as a human. it is not his best trait, but it works in his favor on songs like cypher pt. 4, idol, and blood, sweat and tears. it offers his rap an edge that neither hoseok nor namjoon can sell as well as he does. this is the classic idol rapper blueprint that has gone lost among the sauce of most 3rd and almost all 4th gen. we do not have performers like this anymore, because an idol has to be likable, needs to sell you a product, needs to be your potential love interest, etcetera.

yoongi as a performer: introverted, skillful, arrogant, commanding, sharp, desperate, furious, melancholic, occasionally gentle and sweet.

now, yoongi as an artist. well, that's a different beast, but not entirely. yoongi as an artist is in a way just another side of yoongi as a performer, but someone who allows us to delve deeper into who he is and what he wants to be. what he wants the public to perceive him as. which is paradox because yoongi as a songwriter and producer affords him to dig deep and say things that yoongi the idol, the performer, would never allow to be seen or heard. it's like a song allows him to confess things. and whatever is the result, well, it will be judged but not in real time. not directly out of his mouth. this is how we got the last, seesaw, his tear verse, and black swan. like, it is crazy to me that song he hasn't even written is so accurately a reflection of who he is as an artist. (the connection is dionysus -> black swan -> suga's interlude and sprinkled among that are first love, interlude: shadow and intro: never mind)

"born as an idol, reborn as an artist" led to "oh, that would be my first death i been always so afraid of," and ended at "honestly, it’s different from the future I hoped for, but that doesn’t matter, now it’s the matter of survival — however it is."

yoongi is cocky as a performer and he had no qualms of threading those parts of himself into his work, but i think what would truly kill him, and is partly why this recent development of bts is so hysterical to me, is if he would have to let go of the part of him that creates art. if yoongi would never be allowed to touch a pen or a piano, i think that would kill him. he lives and dies for this shit, and it makes up a lot of who he is as a person, too. it is no surprise that suga's interlude and black swan were released at pretty much the same time.

yoongi constantly lives with the success he has achieved and the dreams he has realized, and the dread that comes from how all of this has happened and none of it has turned out the way he had hoped for. a lot of his work is trying to come to terms with this super stardom and who exists beneath. and what happens when those dreams turn to nightmares. and how in the end, it doesn't matter, because he does it for the art. how much it pains him that he loves the success. what loving that success has done to him. the rot it infests you with, that you cannot help but crave. that kind of paralyzing fear it breathes into you.

on another note, the only reason why the most beautiful moment in life worked so well is because it was built around yoongi in so many ways. that entire narrative rises and fallswith him. he just, kind of, internalized and owned that. like, he is that manic pixie dream boy. if you are dead at the end of the story, you are dead at the beginning of it. it's so crazy! if i think about it for longer, i really do go crazy. yoongi's desperation, fury, tenderness. it all lives in that narrative. man.

i feel like i am just rambling at this point but yoongi as an artist is a safe space, a place for him to unburden himself, to do what he loves the most with no restraints, to practically stage an exorcism of a cripplingly introverted performer. yoongi as an artist allows him to speak his innermost thoughts. he is meticulous, sensitive, attentive. he has a great ear, a vision for what he wants to make, and a very definite style depending on the genre he produces for. his style reminds me a lot of the songs junhyung produced for beast (not a coincidence). so, here we are once again! full circle.

anyways. i guess that's it! i hope that answer was even just a little satisfying and i feel like i didn't even say half of what i wanted to, but this is so long already. thank you and have a good day!
