Since HyunA first announced her controversial relationship with Yong Jun Hyung and netizens remembered his involvement with the Burning Sun scandal, the soloist has been met with a lot of harsh criticism. For someone who was viewed as an empowering figure to many female fans, it came as a shock for her followers to learn that she was dating someone who had taken part in the explicit and illegal chatrooms that exploited women and shared videos of them without their consent.
The relationship has led to HyunA losing a lot of followers, which included some of her fansites being taken down. However, the soloist hasn’t shared any statements on the matter and has continued to post pretty much as normal on her social media pages.
But in the posts she has made since she announced her relationship with Jun Hyung, the comments from netizens have been overwhelmingly negative and critical. People want to make sure that HyunA knows they aren’t just going to forget about her dating life and act like everything is back to normal, though she hasn’t directly responded to any of the criticism at this time.
However, her latest Instagram post shared earlier today seems to show a shift in how netizens are reacting to HyunA.
The post, which includes two photos of HyunA taking a selfie in a fuzzy-framed mirror, once again doesn’t give any indication that the soloist has been impacted by the criticism she has received.
And while there are still a number of comments from people who are still upset about the situation…
There are seemingly more comments from supporters who either don’t know or don’t care about HyunA’s controversial dating life.
It’s possible that she has started filtering the comments so that there are fewer negative ones that show up, but it’s hard to tell at this point. It seems like HyunA is choosing not to bring further attention to her relationship after the backlash they received, and time will tell if things end up changing in the future.
