• "I wouldn't brag about dating him" — HyunA and Junhyung's relationship sparks mixed reactions from netizens

    HyunA recently revealed that she is dating former Highlight member Junhyung, causing a stir among netizens.

    On January 18, HyunA shared a photo on her social media with the emoticon "?‍❤️‍?," confirming her relationship with Junhyung.

    The former Highlight member also posted the same photo on his Instagram, depicting the couple holding hands and strolling down a beach.

    The two had previously been seen together at the '2016 F/W Hera Seoul Fashion Week,' displaying a close connection even back then.

    They had collaborated on the track "A Bitter Day" for HyunA's solo album 'Bubble Pop' during their time at Cube Entertainment when HyunA was part of 4minute and Junhyung was part of BEAST/B2ST (now Highlight).

    Fans and netizens had varied reactions to the news, expressing disappointment, surprise, and even some support.

    Some praised HyunA for her openness about her dating life, while others couldn't help but share their concerns.

    Here's what netizens had to say:

    "Disappointed by HyunA. You can't play the girl crush image and then date someone who clearly had no respect for women."

    "Props to HyunA for not keeping her relationships under wraps. That openness is rare for a K-pop idol."

    "I wish she stayed with Dawn. At least he was unproblematic."

    "It's her choice. Personal freedom and privacy matter. Everyone deserves a second chance, right?"

    "I've supported HyunA since day one, but this is disappointing. Gutted, really."

    "Not a fan of this relationship. HyunA, what are you thinking?"

    "This ain't it. Not the guy from the Burning Sun scandal. Lost all respect for HyunA now."

    "That was a downgrade. HyunA, please for the love of God."

    "If only Hyunseung joined Highlight, then she'd be dating the wrong Trouble Maker."

    "I'm happy for Hyuna, but I hope Junhyung treats her well."

    "Sad for Dawn, but also happy for HyunA. Hope he treats her well. Don't quite know him."

    "I wouldn't brag about dating him. Keep it low-key, girl."

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
