“Yong Jun-hyung ♥ is close with Hyuna” Jo Kwon explains the break-up rumor YES → Follow again NO

Group 2AM's Jo Kwon unfollowed singer Hyuna and clarified the rumors that he was breaking up with her. However, he did not follow again, which attracted attention.

On the 21st, Jo Kwon posted a photo of Hyuna, writing, "Regardless of whether I follow her or not, I'm close to Hyuna. We message and talk on the phone. I don't know what's going on all of a sudden."

It can be interpreted that the post was made with Jo Kwon's unfollowing of Hyuna sparking rumors of a breakup. Even though Jo Kwon stated that he was “close to Hyuna,” he did not follow Hyuna again. Some netizens believe that Jo Kwon's behavior is related to the recent news of Hyuna's relationship with singer Yong Jun-hyung.

Previously, Hyuna self-verified her relationship by posting a photo of herself holding hands with Yong Jun-hyung on the beach. Afterwards, Yong Junhyung also said through a paid fan communication platform, 'I think he was surprised by the sudden news. He officially acknowledged his relationship with Hyuna, saying, “We are getting along well and receiving positive energy from each other, so I hope people will keep an eye on us.”

Hyuna and Yong Jun-hyung's romantic relationship has quite a few ramifications. This is not only because Hyuna revealed her new romantic partner after a long public relationship with singer Dawn, but Yong Junhyung's past history became an issue. In 2019, Yong Jun-hyung caused a stir by being involved in the controversy over Jung Jun-young's illegal filming. Although Yong Junhyung was not a member of the group room in question where the crime was acknowledged, he came under public criticism after being found sharing illegally filmed videos with friends in other social chat rooms. Yong Junhyung left the group Highlight after being investigated as a reference.

In addition to Jo Kwon, EXID's Hani is also said to have unfollowed Hyuna around the same time.
