Bride-to-be HyunA cancels North American concert...is this a repercussion of her marriage to Yong Junhyung?

Amidst singer HyunA's announcement of her marriage to Yeon JoonHyun, it has been learned that HyunA's North American concerts have been cancelled.

According to a ticket sales website on the 19th, HyunA's North American concerts in Seattle, Dallas, Houston, Toronto and other cities in August have been cancelled. The venues have publicly announced this fact and HyunA's SNS has also reportedly removed the relevant postings.

International media and the community have cited poor ticket sales as the reason behind the concert cancellation. In particular, the recent announcement of HyunA's romance and marriage to Yeon JoonHyun was terrorised by some malicious comments and fans who turned their backs on her, and the after-effects of this are being analysed as having had an impact.

In January this year, HyunA announced her relationshi with Yeon JunHyung by posting a photo of them together with the sentence ‘Look beautiful’. HyunA had previously shown public displays of affection with her ex-boyfriend, and even after the breakup, she showed bold and frank steps, such as referring to a ‘change of love’ and transferring to an agency with an ex-boyfriend, but this time, it was not just about celebrations.

This is because her partner, Yong Jun Hyun, had a history of leaving the group ‘Highlight’ after admitting that he had exchanged inappropriate voyeuristic videos in singer Jung Joon Young's private chat room in 2015 when he was informed of the Burning Sun incident one step late.

In response, even HyunA was inundated with malicious comments, and soon her agency eventually took strong action against various types of sexual harassment and defamation. However, HyunA appeared on YouTube content and indirectly expressed her feelings that she did not mind the public gaze, while Yeon JoonHyun recently said, when Burning Sun Gate was re-spotted in a BBC documentary, "I wasn't involved in the incident that spread something that I didn't even want to talk about. I became the same person as them who had nothing to do with it" and complained once again that she herself was not part of Jung Joon-hyun's chat room.

While she was doing so, news was reported that HyunA and Yeon JoonHyun would become husband and wife with a wedding in October. HyunA's side said, "I promised to marry Yeon JunHyung, who became a great comfort to each other at every difficult moment and the fruition of our love. In October, we will welcome our close acquaintances and proceed with the ceremony to start a new life", adding, “We ask for many blessings for the future”.

However, the negative stares from the K-pop fandom are still present. As HyunA prepares for the second act of her life as a pre-bride, it will be interesting to see how she overcomes the aftereffects and what steps she will take.
