In the wake of the recent BBC documentary released on May 19 which provided new insights and footage regarding the 2016 “Burning Sun” scandal, many have expressed sympathy and support for the late Goo Hara. The documentary highlighted her efforts in exposing the individuals involved in the scandal.
While Goo Hara is being widely commended, another well-known star, HyunA, has encountered backlash from the public. HyunA has been dating Yong Jun-hyung, a former member of BEAST (now called Highlight), who was connected to the scandal. Yet HyunA appears to be openly flaunting her relationship with him, which has drawn criticism from the public.

Yong Jun-hyung was implicated in the scandal, and although he denied filming any s*x videos himself, he admitted to having witnessed his friends’ criminal activities. The “Burning Sun” chatroom messages exposed the heinous acts committed by the perpetrators, including r*pe, drugging of women, and non-consensual filming of s*xual acts.

This has led to widespread disgust towards individuals like Yong Jun-hyung. Despite not being a direct participant of the acts, the mere association has cast a shadow over HyunA’s relationship. Consequently, HyunA’s SNS account has been inundated with negative comments and messages questioning her decision to maintain the relationship with Yong Jun-hyung.
“Did you watch the new documentary?”, “Your boyfriend was involved in that case”, “Are you not embarrassed?” are among the comments appearing frequently on HyunA’s social media platforms.
