Their Love Story and Wedding
HyunA and Yong Junhyung first met years ago at Cube Entertainment, where they were labelmates. Yong Junhyung featured on HyunA’s solo debut track Change in 2010, marking the start of their friendship. They confirmed their relationship in January 2024, sharing a romantic beach photo on Instagram. Just six months later, in July, they announced their engagement.
Their wedding took place on October 11, 2024, at Samcheonggak, a luxurious mountainside resort in Seoul. The outdoor ceremony was intimate, attended by close friends and family. HyunA wore a chic white mini-dress with red heels, while Yong Junhyung chose a white tuxedo with an open collar. The venue was decorated with silver cherry blossoms, white hydrangeas, tulips, and fairy lights, creating a magical atmosphere.
“I will become a wife who is like a friend that joins my husband in any of his hobbies,” HyunA said in her vows. “I will not fear opening my eyes every morning. I will enjoy my life and be happy.”
Celebrities like U-Know Yunho of TVXQ, Uhm Jung-hwa, and Jo Kwon of 2AM attended, showing support despite public scrutiny. Jo Kwon shared photos on Instagram Stories, writing:
“When I was in the second year of middle school at 15 years old, you were only in elementary school at 12 years old. Time flies. Be happy, Hyuna.”
Facing Challenges Together
The couple’s relationship has faced challenges, mainly due to Yong Junhyung’s past link to the 2019 Burning Sun scandal. He admitted to receiving an illegally filmed video and engaging in inappropriate conversations, though he was cleared of wrongdoing after a police investigation. This led to his departure from the boy band Highlight in 2019. Some fans criticized HyunA for her relationship with him, especially after her breakup with Dawn in November 2022, following a six-year relationship and engagement.
Rumors also surfaced about a possible premarital pregnancy after HyunA appeared unwell during a performance. Her agency, AT AREA, firmly denied these claims, stating:
“The pregnancy rumors are completely unfounded. We hope that these baseless speculations do not spread further.”
Despite the backlash, HyunA and Yong Junhyung have stayed strong. They took legal action against malicious rumors and focused on their love. Their agencies supported their marriage, with AT AREA saying:
“HyunA and Yong Junhyung, who have been a great source of comfort to each other during difficult times, have promised marriage. They will hold a wedding with close acquaintances in October and begin a new life.”
Yong Junhyung’s agency, BLACK MADE, added:
“Yong Junhyung and HyunA, with deep affection and trust for each other, will hold a private wedding with close friends in October.”
Newlywed Life and Social Media Updates
Since their wedding, the couple has shared glimpses of their life together. In November 2024, HyunA posted photos from a trip to Japan, showing them holding a cake and taking mirror selfies. However, she briefly stepped back from Instagram that month due to ongoing criticism. She returned in March 2025 with a sweet mirror selfie alongside Yong Junhyung, their first joint post in four months.
On December 28, 2024, a new Instagram account, @yong_seobang, appeared, seemingly dedicated to their married life. The profile picture showed the couple’s backs as they stood side by side. The first post, dated November 28, included a photo of HyunA eating noodles and a diary-like caption:
“Today, I had to run some errands with my wife, so we went out. We spotted a ramen shop nearby and had ramen, while my wife teasingly ordered beer to make me envious. On the way back, we noticed one of our tires was low on air, so we stopped by a tire shop. There was a huge nail stuck in it. If we hadn’t driven on it, someone else might have. Let’s think of it as saving someone else’s tire and smile.”
The US photos posted on April 20, 2025, continued this trend of sharing everyday moments. Fans responded warmly, with comments like:
“Seeing HyunA happy makes me happy too.”
“Princess, princess.”
“If HyunA is happy, I’m happy too.”
Some raised questions, such as:
“Does Yong Junhyung smoke too?”
Overall, supportive fans celebrated the couple’s happiness, drowning out sparse negative remarks.
HyunA’s Career Moves
Alongside her personal milestones, HyunA is preparing for a solo comeback. Her new single, Mrs. Nail (or “mot” in Korean, meaning “screw nail”), is set to release on April 30, 2025, at 6 PM KST. This marks her return to music after her 2023 mini-album Attitude. Known for hits like Bubble Pop! and I’m Not Cool, HyunA continues to shine as a solo artist after her time with Wonder Girls and 4Minute.
HyunA and Yong Junhyung are building a life filled with love and shared adventures. Their US trip photos show a couple enjoying the simple joys of marriage, undeterred by past controversies. As they navigate public attention and HyunA gears up for her comeback, fans are eager to see what’s next for this dynamic duo.
