On February 20, his agency AT AREA firmly addressed the speculation, saying: “It’s not true.” They added: “He is currently practicing constantly and preparing for a new album.”
The rumors first surfaced after online communities shared eyewitness accounts and photos of HyunA shopping with her husband, Yong Junhyung. In the photos taken that day, HyunA is seen walking hand in hand with him.
Dressed casually in a beanie, loose pink oversized jacket, baggy pants, and flat shoes, HyunA appeared noticeably more relaxed than in her stage outfits during active promotions. Some netizens speculated that her slightly fuller figure and loose-fitting clothes, which appeared to cover her waist, suggested a possible pregnancy.
HyunA married Yong Junhyung in October 2024. Since then, she has repeatedly faced pregnancy rumors whenever she appeared to have gained weight compared to her famous slim and “thin as a bone” image during her idol career.
However, the public reaction this time was largely supportive rather than critical. HyunA had previously made headlines for struggling with extreme dieting and health issues, including vasovagal syncope, which had caused her to collapse during shows in the past. Because of this story, many fans have expressed relief at seeing her look healthier.
Netizens commented, “She must have worked so hard to maintain that extremely thin figure during her prime. Now that she is married, she can live more comfortably and happily,” “It was heartbreaking when she collapsed on stage before, she looks better now,” and “I’m happy that she gained weight healthily.”

With the agency’s quick clarification, the pregnancy rumors were put to rest as a simple misunderstanding. HyunA is reportedly focusing on her upcoming comeback, preparing to return to music with a new album.
