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.

Adding to their title "Princes of K-pop," the Korean media officially recognized SHINee as the irreplaceable "Edge of K-pop"!

SHINee Earns New Moniker Irreplaceable 'Edge of K-pop' — Here Are 3 Reasons

On May 23, two days before their 15th debut anniversary on the 25th, the Korean media announced SHINee's new moniker!

According to its official SNS as well as Korean media outlets including OSEN, Newsen, Xports News, Sports Chosun, etc., SHINee is the irreplaceable "Edge of K-pop."

The article started by acknowledging SHINee as "idol of idols," thanks to their outstanding and unrivaled music. The outlet also highlighted SHINee's identity as TRENDLEADERS.

"SHINee is a contemporary band that creates new trends that best match the current era in many ways, including music, performance, and fashion."

Since their debut, the group has been consistently praised not only by the public but by music critics as well for their "sophisticated and unique" charms.

In the past, they recorded the first "Rookie Grand Slam," winning all "Rookie of the Year" awards from five major music awards shows.

Their hits remain iconic to date, such as "Ring Ding Dong," which is still a "banned" song among CSAT takers for its addictive tone; "Sherlock," which introduced an unconventional, experimental hybrid remix of two songs "Clue" and "Note"; as well as "View," a song used by Korean classes to explain synesthesia.

Secondly, media outlets implied that SHINee is SHINee because of their "SHINee-like" music. Although the group is constantly contemplating, changing and growing, they don't fail to deliver the solidness, completeness and uniqueness of a song — which is very SHINee-like.

They don't repeat concepts; rather, they expand concepts and stories.

Last but not least, SHINee is one of the groups that get better compared to their past releases. You may think that a certain era is already their "best," but the group always succeeds to surpass their recent records.

In June, the team is expected to unveil their first full-length album in about two years, and it is expected to be a meaningful album to start another chapter of SHINee, which has become more colorful as you can meet SHINee's music and other different styles of songs.

"Whenever a new album is released, SHINee, who attracts high attention from global fans as well as the music industry, is expected to show a new and powerful chapter."

SHINee Prepares For Their 15th Debut Anniversary

The "Princes of K-pop" SHINee will celebrate their 15th anniversary on May 25!

SHINee, who is considered one of K-pop's most complete idols by solidifying its differentiated position, will return as a complete group about two years after their seventh full-length repackage "Atlantis" in 2021 to mark the 15th anniversary of their debut.

Starting with the opening of a pop-up store on the 25th, a fan meeting will be held at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul from the 27th to the 28th, and the release of a new full-length album is also scheduled in June.

Korean Media Gives Former FIFTY FIFTY's Saena, Aran, ANd Sio The "NUGU" Treatment

On August 29, a news report titled "Nugusaeyo (Who Are You)? You can't even introduce yourself without using 'FIFTY'" went viral. The term NUGU? is often used to label idols who aren't well-known to the public. In the article, the author starts off with a scathing truth.

"Nobody would know them without the label former FIFTY FIFTY" --Xports News

" Furthermore, these three call themselves members of FIFTY FIFTY and marketed themselves as the main characters of Cupid's success had returned.

Who would know them if they introduced themselves as simply Saena, Aran, and Sio? The group’s song Cupid was successful but during their FIFTY FIFTY promotions, the members weren’t well known to the public. It’s only natural that K-Pop fans and the general public do not know their names or their faces. Therefore it would be impossible to introduce them without using FIFTY FIFTY."

Netizens reacted to the post, with many still critical of the dormer FIFTY FIFITY members for their betrayal.

28 May 2023, [Idoltist] "The best at dancing"…Dreamcatcher Sua, significance of 5 years of trainee life ①

Xports News’s sixth character in the ‘Idoltist’ series Sua, Dreamcatcher’s main dancer, created the choreography for their B-side tracks ‘Red Sun’ and ‘Sahara’. Not only that but Sua also personally films and edits her vlogs among other things, showing that she has many talents.

Sua has extraordinary high tension and bright energy, but, unlike now, she had a reserved personality when she was younger. Even so, Sua found it exciting to be on stage and showed off her unique charms early on.

“I was very shy and reserved, but I had so much fun preparing for things like the school arts festival. Practicing with friends helped me gain confidence, and I found myself approaching them first. So I think I started dancing from then on. I feel like that is what caused me to become more extraverted.”

Sua, whose MBTI is currently ‘ESTP’, believes she was an ‘INFJ’ when she was younger. “I felt uneasy whenever things did not go according to plan, so I always prepared thoroughly. Even now during work I still have those tendencies. If I don’t calculate things to some degree, something always breaks.”

Young Sua’s talents were first discovered by the people around her. She would learn dances faster than others, so her friends suggested that she go to auditions. Sua also acknowledged this and tried out her first audition in the 6th grade of elementary school.

“I once went with a friend to an SM audition in Busan without telling my parents. At the time, there were several hundred people there for the preliminary round. I was immediately eliminated of course. (laughs) We said to wear the prettiest clothing, so I wore a totally pink outfit, but now that I think about it, it was pretty tacky.”

After this, Sua, entering middle school, joined a dance club and properly started getting into dancing. “I participated passionately in the dance club for the entire 3 years. It was a club for dancing boy group dances. I had a lot of thoughts like ‘I dance in a special way, different from the others’. It was a time where I wanted to do difficult dances.”

Sua started genuinely dreaming of becoming a singer in high school. She was convinced that she had to become a singer, but her parents opposed it.

“My parents said ‘we are going to send you to an academy, so if you do not pass an audition within 6 months, give up on dancing and singing’, and at the time I was so full of confidence that I accepted it.

Back then there weren’t a lot of opportunities for auditions outside of Seoul, and it was not a time where I could easily travel to Seoul. But during the 6th month since starting at the academy, for the first time a company from Seoul came to do auditions. There I passed the first round.”

For the second round, Sua and her parents headed to Seoul, and she recalls that things were going a little too well. Sua wanted to prove her potential to her parents. She shared a story involving her mother back then that aroused feelings of sadness.

“I think my mom helped prevent a greater misfortune with a lesser sacrifice. That day my mom hurt her leg while falling down the stairs and even had to wear a cast, but I passed the audition. I believed it was my mother’s strength and was thankful.”

Sua, who passed the audition, moved from the South Gyeongsang city of Masan to Seoul all by herself and started the trainee life. She was unable to debut at her first company, and for 5 years she auditioned at various companies. At the time Sua was determined to be ‘the best at dancing no matter which company I enter’.

“At some academy, there was a good opportunity to be seen by multiple agencies in the same audition, so I went. We had to go in groups of 3 and dance in the same room together, and it turns out Yoohyeon was there. I didn’t know at the time. Yoohyeon must have been impressed by my dance.

We even danced the same dance at the last audition for the company Minx ended up at. Back then Yoohyeon thought ‘that’s the unnie I saw at the academy’ and recognized me, it was fascinating.”

Sua was recognized for her dancing by other trainees and became motivated to also sing well like her role model BoA.

“I was the best at dancing while going through various companies, and I worked hard to reach that level, but I also wanted to be great at singing. So I developed an interest in singing as well. While practicing singing, I found that it was impossible for it to not be influenced by my dancing. My style has become more diverse.

I learned various genres of dance like breakdancing, hip hop, popping, contemporary. Such a variety of dances also blended in a variety of ways while practicing singing. Every practice was a whole new experience.

5 years can feel like a long time, but within that period I experienced a lot of things, met a lot of people, and received a lot of motivation. I believe I made myself mentally strong during that time. I think I felt comfortable when I debuted because I had that time.”

BTS J-Hope “Good music is good music to dance to” [Xports News]

J-Hope's new album preview video attracts attention.

Recently, Big Hit Music released a preview video for BTS' J-Hope's special album 'HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1'. This album is a unique work based on street dance and was planned in conjunction with the documentary series of the same name.

In the preview video, part of the interview between J-Hope and street dancer Boogaloo Keen was revealed. J-Hope said, "My identity is street dancing. I become one with the music and don't worry about anything else. I dance while focusing on myself and the sweat that makes me reflect on myself." He continued, "This album started with the goal of making 'good music to dance to,' and I concluded that 'good music is music that is good to dance to.' Good music ultimately moves people. When I made music, I only focused on the music. “I naturally danced to that music,” he added.

J-Hope also mentioned the documentary series filmed in Gwangju, Seoul, Osaka, New York, and Paris. In particular, he mentioned the fact that he danced hip-hop in New York and raised curiosity by saying, "I was confident because I thought popping and hip-hop were the most ingrained in me, but my expectations were wrong."

J-Hope met Henry Link, a world-renowned hip-hop dancer and choreographer, in New York. He recalled, "After watching the video sent by Henry Link, for the first time, I felt like I couldn't imitate the movements. It was a new experience. Every moment was a learning experience, and I learned a lot not only about dance but also about life."

Boogaloo Keane said, "There are many documentaries that cover dance, but there are none that cover street dance in general, so when I had the opportunity, I wanted to produce a documentary that could promote street dance. But with J-Hope's recommendation, I suddenly had the opportunity to make my dream come true." He expressed his expectations for the documentary series. The album 'Hop on the Street VOL.1' will be released at 1 o'clock on March 29th, and the documentary series will be released through TVING and Prime Video at 00 o'clock on March 28th. Currently, J-Hope is serving as a training assistant at Baekho Recruit Training Center, 36th Infantry Division, Wonju Army, Gangwon-do, and is scheduled to be discharged on October 17th
