On July 8, 2024, reports surfaced from YTN, a South Korean news outlet, claiming that the beloved K-pop duo is set to wed soon. This news spread like wildfire, leaving fans both ecstatic and curious.
The rumors gained traction quickly, and soon enough, both HyunA’s agency, AT AREA, and Junhyung’s agency, Black Made, stepped in to address the swirling speculation. With eager anticipation, fans awaited the official word, hoping for confirmation of the star-studded union.
Yes, HyunA and Yong Junhyung’s marriage has been officially confirmed. Both AT AREA and Black Made have issued statements confirming the wedding on October 11, 2024, marking a new chapter for the Korean couple.
A New Chapter for HyunA and Junhyung
On July 8, HyunA’s agency, AT AREA, released a heartfelt statement confirming the wedding. The agency shared,
“HyunA and Yong Jun-hyung will hold their wedding ceremony in October with close acquaintances and begin a new chapter in their lives.”
AT AREA told The Korea Times.
“HyunA accepted Yong Jun-hyung’s proposal. They have been a great comfort to each other in difficult moments. We would like to thank everyone for their warm gaze and support. We ask for fans’ blessing for HyunA’s future as she has made this significant decision, both as an artist and as an individual.”
“HyunA has promised to marry Yong Junhyung, as the two have been a great source of comfort to each other during their difficult times.”
They added that the wedding will be an intimate affair with close friends and family in attendance.
Yong Junhyung’s agency, Black Made, echoed the sentiments, asking for fans’ support and blessings as the couple embarks on this new journey together. The agency’s statement read,
“We would appreciate warm interest and blessings for Yong Junhyung as he embarks on a new chapter of his life as a married couple with HyunA.”
This announcement for the Korean celebrities comes after a whirlwind of events in both stars’ lives. HyunA, known for her solo career and past with groups like Wonder Girls and 4Minute, has been a fixture in the K-pop scene for years. Her breakout solo single “Change” in 2010 set the stage for a successful career with hits like “Bubble Pop!” and “I’m Not Cool.”
Junhyung, on the other hand, made his mark as a member of the boy band Highlight, formerly known as BEAST. His career faced a significant hiccup in 2019 when he left the group amid the Burning Sun scandal.
Despite this setback, Junhyung has continued to pursue music and has now found solace and support in his relationship with HyunA.
The couple went public with their relationship in January 2024, sharing adorable photos of themselves holding hands on Instagram. This revelation sent shockwaves through the K-pop community, especially given Junhyung’s controversial past.
HyunA, who faced backlash for her involvement with Junhyung, lost over 200,000 Instagram followers after the announcement. Yet, the couple stood firm, asking fans to view their relationship with warmth and understanding.
Last month, Junhyung addressed the Burning Sun scandal, stating that he was unaware of the nature of the videos sent to him. He emphasized that the videos had blacked-out thumbnails and no descriptions, leaving him clueless about their content before opening them.
As they prepare for their wedding, HyunA is also gearing up for her North American tour, “My Attitude,” set to kick off in August. She will be performing across various cities, including Texas, New York, and California. This tour adds another exciting layer to an already eventful year for the singer.
The announcement of HyunA and Junhyung’s marriage has undoubtedly stirred the K-pop world. Fans are now left to ponder what this means for their idols’ future. Will this union bring more collaborative work from the couple?
As we celebrate this joyous news, it’s clear that HyunA and Junhyung are ready to face whatever comes their way, hand in hand.
With their wedding just a few months away, the K-pop world eagerly awaits more updates on the couple’s journey.
