Singer Hyuna and Yong Jun-hyung have begun a public relationship.

Hyuna and Yong Junhyung posted a photo on their official account on the afternoon of January 18th. The released photo shows a man and woman walking on the beach holding hands.

Hyuna tagged Yong Jun-hyung’s official account on the man’s back and added, “Please look at it nicely.”Hyuna said, “I hope Hyuna is happy.” She directly clicked the like button on the supportive comments from fans supporting her public relationship.

In relation to this, Yong Jun-hyung’s agency, Black Made, told Newsen on the morning of the 19th that they were “confirming.”

The age difference between the two is 3 years. Hyuna was born in 1992, and Yong Junhyung was born in 1989. Hyuna and Yong Junhyung worked together at Cube Entertainment when they were active as members of the group 4Minute and the group Beast, respectively.

In addition, Yong Junhyung has maintained his close relationship with Hyuna by appearing with her in the music video for Hyuna’s solo debut song ‘Change’ (Change) released in 2010 and appearing on music broadcast stages together.

As a result, Hyuna began her public relationship again a year and two months after her breakup. Previously, Hyuna began a romantic relationship with Dawn (E’Dawn) from her group Pentagon in 2016. Her relationship was announced publicly in August 2018. The two continued their confident and beautiful relationship and announced their separation on November 30, 2022, putting an end to their six-year relationship. Rumors of a reunion arose on January 10th last year, but “It’s not true.””It is true that we are living comfortably as her friend, but we are not lovers,” he denied.

Meanwhile, Yong Jun-hyung is involved in the so-called Jung Joon-young scandal that broke out in March 2019. It was belatedly revealed that a hidden camera video of a sexual encounter filmed by her close friend, singer Jung Joon-young, was shared in a one-on-one chat room at the end of 2015 and that they had an inappropriate conversation.

Jung Joon-young was expelled from the entertainment industry in March 2019 after it was revealed that he had filmed a hidden camera video of sexual intercourse and shared it with his acquaintances. Jung Joon-young, along with Choi Jong-hoon from her band FT Island, were arrested and indicted on charges of gang rape of an intoxicated woman twice in 2016. She was also accused of illegally filming the video after the sexual assault. Jung Joon-young, who was sentenced to five years in prison by the appellate court in September 2020, will be released in October 2025.

Yong Jun-hyung, who denied the charge of sharing a hidden camera video of sex in a chat room with Jung Jun-young, reversed his stance three days later, belatedly admitting the charge and apologizing. At the time, Yong Jun-hyung said through his agency at the time, “The day after drinking with Jung Joon-young in late 2015, we found out that they had taken an illegal video while asking each other’s well-being through a 1:1 chat room, and after that, we shared it through a 1:1 chat room. He announced his official statement, saying, “I have seen illegal videos and have had inappropriate conversations about them.” In March 2019, he left Highlight (formerly BEAST), his group at the time.

Since then, Yong Junhyung has continued his activities as a solo singer. Solo album ‘LONER’ in November 2022. At a press conference commemorating the release, he said, “I didn’t belong to any single chat room”(group chat room).

However, the core of the controversy surrounding Yong Jun-hyung is not ‘Whether he was a member of Jung Jun-young’s group chat room’, but ‘Whether he received and watched videos filmed and distributed illegally by Jung Jun-young and had inappropriate conversations’. ; was. In a situation where it was clearly revealed that he received illegal videos and had inappropriate conversations in a one-on-one chat room, the answer that seemed to obscure the point by directly mentioning whether he belonged to a group chat room raised questions.

Yong Junhyung said, “However, I am fully aware that there was something wrong in the conversation at the time. I regret that it was my fault for not being able to correct it. “I will make sure to only greet you with good things from now on,” he added.
