After announcing her upcoming October wedding with Junhyung, singer HyunA has faced significant backlash from fans. This backlash has led to supposed boycotts at events and the cancellation of her North American concert tour.
On July 13 KST, HyunA performed as a guest singer at the "Summer Night Race" event held at Everland in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do. She performed some of her popular hits, including "Bubble Pop!," "Red," "Lip & Hip," "I'm Not Cool," and her latest song, "Q&A."
However, videos from the event have circulated across various online communities, showing a noticeable lack of audience engagement. Unlike her previous performances at university festivals and regional events, where she received enthusiastic reactions and sing-alongs, this time the crowd remained mostly silent. Many Korean netizens believe this boycott is a direct result of her wedding announcement with Yong Junhyung.
Korean netizens have shared their two cents on this matter and commented:
"If you get involved with Burning Sun, you need to take some responsibility, HyunA~~ It's not just anything; it's Burning Sun~~ Whatever happens, it's your choice. Do you know how serious this is?? But do you think that's all? Where did the easy access to drugs in our country start??? That Seungri and Jung Joon Young."
"I'm not particularly worried. They'll take care of it themselves."
"It's not really about the wedding; it's just that her popularity is at that level. Even her hit songs are from several years ago, and she's not exactly active in her music career... haha, her popularity is just at that level."
"Our fan culture in this country isn't normal either, haha. Do they expect celebrities to keep up a similar vibe until they're old and gray?"
"She made her choice in love, and she should just enjoy the money she's earned. Fans should respect her choices too."
"Sigh... Now I just feel sorry for her. Just let her be. She got hit a lot already."
