As HyunA and Yong Junhyung‘s wedding date draws nearer, speculation is rife among Korean netizens about whether any celebrities will attend the event. The controversy surrounding the couple — particularly due to Yong Junhyung’s past involvement in the infamous “Burning Sun” scandal — has cast a shadow over what is typically a joyful occasion.
Following the release of their wedding photoshoot on September 2, the public’s response was overwhelmingly negative. The photos, which showcased both traditional and edgy looks, did little to sway the criticism directed at the couple.
HyunA’s Wedding Photos Instagram Posts Get Bombarded With Hate Comments
The backlash has left many wondering which celebrities, if any, would risk their reputations by attending the wedding.
On September 3, a post on the popular online community Pann went viral, fueling further discussion. The post questioned which celebrities would be willing to attend a wedding that could potentially harm their public image.
These days, even following the wrong person on social media can damage your image. Imagine attending the wedding of a close friend’s ex-boyfriend who also has a criminal record.
Even if it’s an unofficial wedding, the guest list will likely come out. I really hope none of my favorite idols or my ultimate bias attend. Will celebrities who were close to both Goo Hara and HyunA attend the wedding?
When the wedding date was announced, everyone probably scrambled to schedule overseas activities.

Netizens expressed their concerns, with many hoping that their favorite celebrities would steer clear of the event. Some pointed out the awkward position that potential guests might find themselves in, having to choose between their public image and their personal relationships with HyunA and Yong Junhyung.
The sentiment online suggests that many believe celebrities will be looking for ways to avoid the wedding altogether, possibly by arranging overseas activities on the same date.
- “Jo Hyun Ah will probably go, lol.”
- “Imagine your close friend dating the guy your friend who passed away used to date. Can you really support that?”
- “I saw HyunA’s wedding photoshoot… I honestly have nothing to say… This is the first time I’ve seen a wedding photoshoot and felt absolutely no excitement or desire to congratulate them, lol. If she were marrying Hyunsung, whom she did “Trouble Maker” with, I might have supported it.”
- “It would be super awkward if they received the wedding invitation. Choosing between their image and friendship.”
- “Unless they’re members of BEAST or 4Minute, anyone who attends HyunA and Yong Junhyung’s wedding will get so much hate.”
