First-generation idol stars advised 4minute's HyunA to keep her romantic relationships a private matter.

HyunA along with first generation idols S.E.S' Shoo, Baby VOX's Kan Mi Yeon, and solo artist So Yi made guest appearances on the June 7th broadcast of 'Beatles Code 2'.

Expressing her envy of Super Junior's Shindong who had previously gone public with his relationship, HyunA remarked, "I want to date publicly, too."

But upon hearing this, So Yi sternly advised against it stating, "No, don't. Reveal [your relationship] on the day of your wedding."

HyunA then explained the reason behind her desire to date openly. "You know how I have a very strong image? If I dated in secret, I think it will make it worse," she said, unshaken by her seniors' warnings.

However, So Yi continued to oppose. "No, you should try not to get caught." Shoo agreed with So Yi and added, "You'll regret it later on."

Speaking of herself and fellow guest members Shoo and Kan Mi Yeon, So Yi continued, "We've never gone public with our relationships. Even when there were rumors of us dating, we'd deny it or reply with 'no comment'."

This prompted Shindong to ask, "Then are you saying that the rumors back then were all true?" to which she replied, "There were some that were true and others that were completely false."
