The journey to marriage with Yong Junhyung was not without its challenges. His past was marred with claims of being involved with sex offender star Jung Joon-young, and rumours of a premarital pregnancy surfaced after a performance where HyunA appeared unwell on stage.
Additionally, following the release of their wedding pictorial, Yong Junhyung faced controversy over allegations of abandoning his dog. In response to the malicious rumors, HyunA ultimately decided to take legal action.
Rumours about their wedding first emerged in July. An insider who spoke to the media clarified that while some felt it was “too soon to get married,” the couple remains confident in their love. Yong Junhyung’s agency, BLACK MADE, was the first to address the marriage speculation.
