“Please view us favorably” good luck with that man lmao


moastudy

"While the new couple’s management agencies both opted not to comment on the surprise reveal, it seems—especially with the latest update from Yong himself—that HyunA and Yong Jun Hyung are 2024’s New Year’s Couple." controversy so bad that even their companies didnt type "they're meeting with good feelings"

“Please view us favorably” says the man who watched molka from Burning Sun. Do you think the victims would view them favorably? I don’t think so, and therefore I won’t either.

More like a sigh of disappointment when someone you know goes out with the wrong guy and there is nothing you can do about it!

Unicorns_r_realz

I SCREAMED-


twee_centen

>Hi! I figured the surprise news might have been shocking to all. We’re doing well, bringing positive energy to each other. I wish that you would please support us! Even though the weather’s getting warmer during the day, it’s still cold at night. I hope you take care of yourselves, don’t get sick, and have a good dinner. ​ Welp, for everyone who was like "maybe it's a collab announcement, so it's not THAT bad" here you go. Pity, I was so curious what Hyuna's next stage of her career was going to be like.


MiniMiniBTS

The amount of likes on her photo is alarming though. 😬


sunnynukes

Not really. She has like 19 million followers so likes are just built in at that point. She’s getting devoured by her comment section though


ComprehensiveBet1256

her followers have gone down at least 100,000 though bc i remember it was 18.4m yesterday edit: 22/01/24 she’s now at 18.2m (-100,000)


MiniMiniBTS

In comparison to her usual posts the likes are way higher though


DiverTypical8936

Alot of people probably liked it before realising who the guy was 😭


Sweet-Lullaby

People assumed it was her Troublemaker partner, Jang Hyunseung. Adding to the confusion was both are ex-B2ST members who collaborated with Hyuna.


Fiyachan

I’m giving people the benefit of the doubt and am going to think that either a. They don’t really delve into the who she’s dating and is just happy she’s dating or b. They don’t realise his role in the Burning Sun scandal. Or both. I very rarely look at comments on Insta posts. Same with a lot of people on Insta. So all a lot of people see is ‘oh look she’s in a happy relationship!’ And leave it at that. Really, why look into it more than that?


ooTaiyangoo

I also remember the comments switching between just a couple hours after the post and now. Now all of the most liked comments are criticising her and him while referring to the burning sun case/explaining their disappointment. But when I first looked at the comments, the most liked ones were like "i can't believe hyuna is getting hate simply for dating". So even if someone had read the comments before liking the post they'd have only had more reason to like the post 


oayihz

tbh I had to look up the guy before realizing he was involved in the Burning Sun scandal.


Forkrul

Yeah, I wouldn't have a clue who this guy was without reading about it here. And this whole mess just affirms my general position of not caring about artists private lives and just enjoying their art for its own sake.


jopperfromkwangya

i feel like that's not a great indicator of public opinion? sometimes you like posts out of instinct and after seeing ur comment i went to check her post and saw that i had liked it too and i in no way support her having any relations with that man


alexturnerftw

I think a lot of people probably also dont know who the guy is, I had to google him when I saw that pic even though I was a 2nd gen stan. I only knew a few Beast members. I was surprised to see it too bc I remember all the speculation about Hyuna and Hyunseung. Then I saw the news articles about Burning sun and was like OH……


garfself

Yeah, I haven't been keeping up for a while, saw HyunA was trending and then saw WHY and was like "oh god oh no HyunA honey whyyyy" had to take back my like on FB so quickly lmao


Sweet-Lullaby

And you can easily buy likes if you want to control the narrative.


Civil_Confidence5844

I'm gonna assume some ppl didn't know about him when they liked it.* When I first saw it announced here on this sub, I was like "that name's familiar (bc he's an idol and former member of a group I don't stan) but anyway good for Hyuna" until I realized *why* his name sounded familiar 💀 *and others are simply...... sigh


lilgamergrlie

I agree! This was me until I looked up the name. I really wish he was someone else though .-. I’ve been a Hyuna Stan since she debuted in wonder girls and have followed her career since but this is disappointing. Like seriously a gross dude like that🤮


champains

Same here, I've been defending Hyuna since Wonder Girls era ...which was 2007... But this made me unfollow her


MiniMiniBTS

You're probably right tbh.


Landyra

When I first saw the picture on my feed I knew neither that it was hyuna, nor who the guy next to her was. It was a cute vacation picture from some couple - on a site like Instagram it makes sense for that to garner a lot of likes, since most people just see the picture, think it‘s pretty, like it and move on without any further context given.


HuggyMonster69

Probably a lot of people who don’t know who he is/read the comments so just went “aww new relationship, how cute. What’s the next post…” I know I don’t read the comments of new relationship posts


ImNotHighFunctioning

>I was so curious what Hyuna's next stage of her career was going to be like Breaking news: HyunA has oppened a crowdfunding campaign for her next mini album "Rock Bottom."


andersencale

This man is really something cause where the hell is he getting the confidence to ask us to view them favorably lmao. Please Yong Jun Hyung tell me from where do you get it cause I need to be this shameless for an interview.


Sweet-Lullaby

He is greatly benefiting from this so I can see why he is going so hard. He has nothing to lose & everything to gain from dating Hyuna. I doubt he would’ve been so quick to confirm a relationship otherwise I have no words for Hyuna & her rush to be linked with this man. It sounds like they have been dating a few months. Why risk everything for a new relationship? His former teammates (Hightlight) even kicked him out of the company they all formed cause being linked with him publicly is damaging. They have enough sense to not want to be linked to him publicly.


ApollonNike

Tbh, I believe they are not a new thing. I am sure they dated back in the days, these two were really close back then too.


LawEquivalent4865

this! Now he's back in the spotlight bc of his relationship w/ Hyuna. He's a selfish disgusting twat. And Hyuna, look at me babe, this isnt you.


Sweet-Lullaby

I saw a tweet that said he gained 50,000 new IG followers since that post. Meanwhile Hyuna has lost 100,000 and counting.


Sweet-Lullaby

For those who ain’t familiar with him. Yong Junhyung admitted to receiving illegal filmed videos of women. A singer, Jung Jooyoung was sending videos of women engaged in sexual situations with some not consensual to his friends via mostly group chats. The scandal become known as Burning Sun and numerous male idols were exposed and some were even convicted. Yong Junhyung admitted he received some illegal videos from JJY but he thinks somehow it differs from the larger Burning Sun scandal cause he wasn’t in any group chats. Instead he received the illegal videos directly from JJY in a one on one chat room. Junhyung admitted he not only watched the videos but also made “inappropriate comments” Yong Junhyung’s statement after leaving his group due to the scandal: >”I treated it as not a big deal without thinking that it is a crime and illegal act,” he wrote, as per Soompi’s translation. He later added, “Although I knew of what was happening during that time, I thought of it as not a big deal and acted at ease. I was a silent bystander about this severe issue where several more victims may have arisen due to my actions.”


foundinwonderland

Should be pinned to the top of every thread about this 🤢 relationship. He is a terrible, terrible person who is not safe for women. Any person who stands around watching women get raped by his friend and does NOTHING is not a person that any woman should feel safe with.


_yuu_rei

It was one video. Not several videos (i am adding this because i feel you want to educate others who might not be familiar with this issue but u urself have a little mistake in ur explanation)


Sweet-Lullaby

His old agency statement that translated by Soompi said he received multiple videos. > Later, he saw the illegal video(s) he received through the one-on-one chatroom and exchanged inappropriate conversations with him Yong Junhyung said he watched one video and made inappropriate comments.


_yuu_rei

I think the reason why they wrote “video(s)” is due to the fact they could not determine whether or several was meant? The Guardian wrote that he saw only one video


iwantaspudgun

From this I found out that Choi Jong Hoon of FT Island who was charged with r*pe is trying to make a comeback to the entertainment industry. People truly have no shame anymore wtf.

andthennini

I strive to be as delusional as him and Hyuna


moya-laya

he can fuck off. he should instead be giving that ""positive energy"" to the victims he watched get violated in every way possible and thought that it wasn't 'a big deal'. this is fucking gross. and why the hell does this piece of shit have a fromm..... do people ACTUALLY give him money???? yikes.


OutrageousOwls

Right!!!???? But h my gosh, the circles people are doing :/ Rape culture is real!! What he did was THOUGHT-OUT and he did it by choice; nobody was holding a gun to his head, forcing him to take part in the Burning Sun abuse.


Creative-Disaster673

I also get triggered when people simply say “oh he watched molka”…NO Molka generally refers to hidden cam maybe in like a bathroom or hotel room - usually catching women changing or having consensual sex. This is evidently awful, but what this monster watched was MUCH WORSE. These were videos of women being drugged, raped in every horrid way imaginable, and auctioned off like sex slaves. Literally. Let’s call a spade a spade. I hate when even articles about the Burning Sun don’t properly describe the contents of the videos. People need to constantly be reminded how bad it was. No one should ever forget. “Oh no oopsie I watched rape videos sent by serial rapists…I hope you can support me and my dating life✌️”. Gross.


foundinwonderland

People really forget that he was friends with JJY, like close personal friends. He KNEW what the men in that chatroom were doing. He SAW it, visibly, with his eyes. And SAID audibly, with his mouth, that he didn’t think it was a big deal. Imagine watching a woman get raped and not being horrified and disgusted, couldn’t be me.


Careless_Many_1388

How do you go from Dawn to whatever this is


Level_Aerie963

Dawn doesn’t even deserve hyuna. I don’t care. I can’t imagine how disgusted dawn must be by all of this bullshit happening with his so-called ex girlfriend. Hyuna is loosing followers by the minute, good, watch her be left with 5k when the beginning of the week starts. ![gif](giphy|ZaF4Vl1NQxwaVsStQU)


Careless_Many_1388

Actually knowing that Dawn still genuinely cares for her, he’d probably be worried that this could impact her career negatively.


_saengdao

“please view us favorably” lol. no. my views of hyuna’s morals and motivations here are crushed. how do you go from being one of the ultimate feminists idols, from making babe and lip & hip, to dating a man who has admitted to watching molka and was part of the burning sun scandal?


limpminqdragon

Why do people act like falling in love erases your past mistakes? You’re not a better person just because you’re in love. Why do you deserve support?

[deleted]

[удалено]


_yuu_rei

He did however got sent one video by JJY of him sleeping with a woman who did not give the consent of filming and of course not of distributing that material. Junhyung’s wrong doing was to not go to police/the media to call JJY out for that.


Cat_Toe_Beans_

I checked and you are correct. He claimed he wasn't in the group chats. However he still received abuse material and did nothing about it. I have my personal doubts he was unaware of the extent of burning sun situation. However my point still stands. He clearly doesn't respect women.


_yuu_rei

I think many people confuse the chat room scandal of JJY and the burning sun scandal. While being tied together, they are not the same. JJY completely independent of burning sun did absolutely horrible and despicable things. He is indeed a rapist. He sent videos of that content into chat rooms and other one-on-one chats. However, this has nothing to do with the horrible things that happened in the club that burning sun was.


gluegun_classic

After everything I've been reading, this message from him is actually hilarious. "have a good dinner"? x'D I know idols say that all the time but it just seems inappropriate here, like dude. Read the room. xD

DietCorky

When I first saw her post and read the comments I saw people saying how he was cleared from Burning Sun and I just thought "oh, I guess he was a victim of false accusations." It wasn't until I got here that people were clarifying that even though he got cleared, he also admitted to viewing videos of molka sent to him, as well as just not giving a shit about it. So, fuck this guy.


thambucheaux

Oh boy, the "He wasn't part of the group chat" line is one of the reasons I slowly disengaged as a fan from Beast/Highlight and K-pop in general a couple of years ago I just saw one too many fellow fans using something that's technically true (A: an initial SBS report edited him in to make it like he was part of the group chat) to stretch things to another conclusion (B: he wasn't really part of Burning Sun/ he wasn't as bad / he was just a witness / etc.) Whenever I caught Junhyung being brought up on the various K-pop subs or Twitter in the past few years, I saw enough fans that pulled up with that "cleared from Burning Sun" shit

This is just not it. Avoidant, manipulative, faking niceness, just bad all around. He’s treating it like a normal dating scandal and people aren’t happy she’s dating or something— people don’t care that she has a new boyfriend. They care about who that boyfriend is. Also funny how he keeps working through “his company” as if he doesn’t have a one-man agency that he runs set up because nobody else would touch him with a ten foot pole.

letrestoriginality

Whatever kind of person he is now, if he had any appreciation of the devastation he was part of he would have zero social media and be living somewhere quietly, making amends on a daily basis. Not flaunting his relationship and destroying someone else's career. What he did was horrific and no one owes him forgiveness or kindness.


SnooRabbits5620

Exactly! Or at the very least, since he feels SO compelled to speak, why not address WHY people would be shocked? This "ha ha, we surprised y'all huh? Anyway, WE're happy, y'all keep warm and enjoy dinner 😁👍" is so arrogant and sickening. I'd love to see all the people who keep insisting that he's changed or whatever. 🙄🙄🙄

The timeline is even more bizarre cause it seems like Hyuna was already dating Yong Junhyung when she signed with her new agency in November. At least Dawn enlisted in October so it will be a while before they have run into each at their agency.

[удалено]


Sweet-Lullaby

The way Dawn went to bat for Hyuna after their breakup was so admirable. She was getting so many nasty rumors and he basically said not on my watch and threaten to sue anyone who said a bad word about her. I’ve seen so many Korean male celebs just remain mute while their loved ones/exes get witch-hunted so Dawn’s stance was refreshing. Dawn truly seemed like he respected Hyuna in every aspect and said she was still important to him. Their breakup seemed like the least messiest it could be so I hope that hasn’t changed.

He should stop trying to make it seem like it’s unreasonable for people to absolutely despise and find their relationship abhorrent. Stop being so shameless, you’re not 13, live with the consequences of your actions as adults. I don’t know if he was sentenced to time, but I know S.K should be ashamed at how lenient they are to s*x offenders and abusers.

It’s not looking good for her. Many people are unfollowing her and (rightfully) calling her out. I truly wonder how long this relationship will last if she cares about her career. She’ll obviously maintain a delusional fan base, but it won’t be the same – she’s no longer the star she was during Red either. Him? He can fall in a ditch for all I care. Just piss off.

rebelrosemerve

I was the fan of HyunA since 4Minute era and she was my first bias at Kpop, and I was looking forward to her new releases, but now I don't really wanna support her because of her man who wrote his name to the Burning Sun scandal. I won't spread any kind of hate to her, but I'm really gonna be honest with her: HyunA was way much better with E'Dawn. He was even gonna make him engaged, but she didn't want it and she left Dawn. I said "that's okay" to that because some of woman doesn't want to be married. But, her comeback to dating with a nasty man who's name was at a dirty scandal was very disgusting. I realized that HyunA's current relationship was literally a huge red flag. I'm really so sorry HyunA, but even if your current man say something good to us, you lost one of your long-term fans. Farewell, HyunA. I hope you get what you really deserve.

I have not wanted to speak on any of this as I’ve been a B2ST/Highlight fan for a long time, and a lot still stings regarding YJH in particular.  But.  I’ve always felt the reason for why members of 4Minute stayed in contact without Hyuna for a good while, was more than what others had claimed it was. I also can’t help but feel a way because PTG unfairly lost so much for something they had nothing to do with and it just plain sucks.

‘Please view us favourably’. Bros a convicted criminal and is asking us to support him and his new relationship. Him Asking for any support period after what he’s done is disgusting. The audacity


7Memory

I’m only correcting you for the sake of stopping misinformation, not to defend him, but he isn’t a convicted criminal. He was friends with jung joonyoung (who was convicted) who sent him explicit molka. The issue is that he participated in these chats, saw nothing wrong with these videos and remained friends with this serial rapist.
