HyunA and Yong Junhyung, a couple openly in a relationship, enjoyed a street date in Thailand.
On the 11th, the Taiwanese media 'ETtoday' reported that HyunA and Yong Junhyung had traveled to Thailand together.
Visiting Bangkok, Thailand, HyunA and Yong Junhyung were seen strolling the streets on a date. Wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt and shorts, Yong Junhyung, and HyunA in a flower-patterned dress, held hands tightly and spent a cozy time together, walking the streets.
A netizen who witnessed the couple's street date shared a brief video of them, stating, "I saw HyunA and Yong Junhyung by chance," and "I was too nervous to ask for a photo."
HyunA and Yong Junhyung started their public relationship this January by posting a photo of them holding hands while walking.
HyunA tagged Yong Junhyung in her post, saying, "Please look at us kindly," and effectively acknowledged their open relationship by liking a fan's comment that supported their dating. Yong Junhyung also confirmed they were dating, saying through a paid fan communication platform, "I hope you watch over us warmly as we receive positive energy from each other."
HyunA and Yong Junhyung had previously been labelmates at Cube Entertainment when they were active in 4Minute and BEAST (now Highlight), respectively. In 2010, Yong Junhyung featured in HyunA's solo track 'Change', and they showed their friendship by appearing together on stages and variety shows.
HyunA started her second public relationship with Yong Junhyung about a year and two months after breaking up with her former boyfriend, Dawn, with whom she had a public relationship for six years. However, some fans showed negative reactions, mentioning Yong Junhyung's past controversy.
Yong Junhyung withdrew from the group Highlight in 2019 after belatedly admitting to having seen illegal videos shared by Jung Joon-young at the end of 2015. Although not a member of the so-called 'Jung Joon-young chatroom', the fact that he had shared videos and engaged in inappropriate conversations with Jung Joon-young in a 1:1 chatroom led to much criticism. After temporarily halting his music career, Yong Junhyung made a return to the entertainment industry in 2022 through the independent label 'Black Made', after four years.
Despite fans' concerns, the couple continues to date confidently and enjoy their time together.
Meanwhile, HyunA is preparing for a comeback, and Yong Junhyung is set to release a new EP 'Beautiful Dystopia' on the 25th through various online music sites.
