Hyuna and Yong Junhyung (former member of BEAST/HIGHLIGHT) will be getting married on October 11. However, public sentiment is not favorable due to Yong Junhyung’s involvement in the Burning Sun scandal and Hyuna’s close friendship with Goo Hara, Yong Junhyung’s ex-girlfriend.
After the couple’s wedding photos were released, South Korean netizens began speculating about the list of celebrity guests who attended their wedding. Attending the wedding of such a controversial couple could spark criticism towards the stars involved. As a result, many netizens believe that only those who are willing to risk their reputations will attend Hyuna and Yong Junhyung’s wedding. It is likely that only members of BEAST/HIGHLIGHT and 4Minute, the groups that Yong Junhyung and Hyuna were previously associated with, will attend.
South Korean internet users are full of comments:
- “I really hope the celebrities I like don’t participate.”
- “Will celebrities close to Goo Hara and Hyuna attend? Once the wedding date was announced, they probably rushed to plan activities abroad.”
- “Imagine if your friend who committed suicide was dating a guy, and now that guy marries your good friend. Could you support that?”
- “I think Jo Hyun Ah will participate.”
- “If celebrities get invitations, it will create an awkward situation. Should they choose reputation or friendship?”
- “Unless they are members of BEAST or 4Minute, anyone who attends the wedding will be criticized.”
- “I think I’m going to stop supporting celebrities attending their own weddings.”
- “I hope Hyuna and Yong Junhyung will have a small wedding so their famous friends won’t be in a difficult position.”
- “I wish they would just abandon the entertainment industry altogether.”
- “I think celebrities will continue to participate.”
On January 18, 2024, Hyuna and Yong Junhyung took the internet by storm by posting photos of themselves holding hands on their personal accounts. Their relationship has faced public opposition due to Yong Junhyung’s past involvement in the Burning Sun scandal and his subsequent departure from the group. Additionally, Hyuna is close friends with Goo Hara, who previously dated Yong Junhyung.
In early August, Hyuna and Junhyung announced their upcoming wedding. Sources close to the couple revealed that they decided to get married because they trust each other. This news surprised fans, as Hyuna and Yong Junhyung had only been publicly dating for seven months, but decided to get married quickly. There were speculations that Hyuna might be pregnant with their first child, but her management agency denied this information.
