Recently, there are reports that EXID member Hani has indefinitely postponed her wedding with her psychiatrist lover Yang Jae-woong and will resume official activities.
Notably, according to an exclusive report from OSEN on the 14th, Hani will participate in “BIG GROUND FEST 2024” with EXID members. The event will be held on November 16 at the Beach City International Stadium in Ancol, northern Indonesia.
Hani, who admitted to dating Yang Jae-woong in 2022, was planning to get married last month, but had to postpone the wedding due to the death of a patient at Yang Jae-woong’s hospital.
He also temporarily stopped his activities, including abandoning a program he was a part of.
Additionally, Hani finds herself unable to celebrate the 10th anniversary of EXID’s hit song, “Up and Down,” due to a recent controversy involving her boyfriend Yang Jae-woong.
EXID’s third digital single, “Up & Down”, was released on August 27, 2014. Although it did not initially gain much popularity, a fan-cam of Hani that surfaced online in October of that year sparked a resurgence of interest . The song eventually climbed the charts and reached number one on the Melon music chart on Christmas Eve 2014. This resurgence led to music show wins and solidified EXID’s place in the K-pop industry.
Starting August 27, 2024, the 10th anniversary of “Up & Down” represents a significant milestone for EXID members. LE shared commemorative photos on SNS, featuring memories from the song’s promotional period, including candid moments from the members.
However, Hani was unable to attend the celebrations. This is due to the fallout from a recent scandal involving her boyfriend, psychiatrist Yang Jae-woong. On July 26, it was reported that a patient had died at Yang Jae-woong Hospital. The patient, a woman in her 30s, had been hospitalized for treatment of diet drug addiction and had died two months before the incident became public. Yang Jae-woong apologized, expressing deep regret over the incident.
The timing of the scandal has overshadowed Hani’s personal and professional achievements. The announcement of Hani’s engagement to Yang Jae-woong came shortly after the patient’s death, sparking criticism and a sense of ethical responsibility towards Hani. While she is not legally obligated to issue a statement, the situation has placed her under intense scrutiny.
While Hani remains silent, there is speculation that she and Yang Jae-woong might delay their wedding. Despite celebrating the 12th anniversary of EXID’s debut, the 10th anniversary of “Up & Down” and her upcoming wedding, Hani struggles to find joy amid the controversy surrounding her fiancé. The public is waiting to see if he will break his silence and address the situation.
