It's been almost two years already since Dawn and HyunA made the whole K-pop community go nuts by confirming their relationship.
Their Life as idols
Kim Hyuna, or popularly known with her mononym as HyunA, has gone through so much throughout her career, which showed how an amazing and dedicated artist she is. The female idol, who debuted in 2007 with Wonder Girls under JYP Entertainment, re-debuted with 4Minute after withdrawal in her former group and Triple H, with Hyojong under Cube Entertainment. Her talent and skills gave her vast recognition and success, which also helped the companies she stayed.
She was also able to debut as a solo singer. She earned more public attention with her first extended play "Bubble Pop!" which made her title track sold for more than three million digital copies since its release. With this, she became the first female K-pop solo artist to reach 100 million views on a single music video on YouTube, carving her name as one of the best female solo artists globally.
On the other hand, Kim Hyojong, who is better known as Dawn and formerly called E'Dawn, was a former member of the K-pop group PENTAGON and a former member of Triple H as well, alongside his bandmate Hui and HyunA. He is best known for songwriting and rapping for three years under Cube Entertainment, releasing nine EPs in both Korean and Japanese before his departure in 2018.
The aftermath of their dating announcement
A lot has changed ever since HyunA and Dawn disclosed their relationship, which led to a lot of backlashes, considering the strict guidelines between artists and their agencies in the South Korean music industry, just like how the couple parted ways with Cube Entertainment. They were kicked out immediately, and HyunA received hate comments from the male idol's fans as well, because their dating confirmation led them to quit the agency and E'dawn from his former group, PENTAGON.
Despite these, HyunA and Dawn decided not to give up and still pursued their respective careers without separating. They decided to sign under Psy's agency, P Nation, which changed their lives as they debut once again as solo singers.
The confirmation from the couple proved how strong their relationship is after three years of hiding that they are together. And so, they continued their lives as real people who open up to their fans about them.
Their life as a "power couple" and gaining the public's acceptance
When the couple did their first-ever appearance together on the variety show Knowing Brothers, they had fun along with the MCs telling stories on how they met until romance blossomed between them. In the show, they had a chance to tell stories such as how HyunA failed on her first attempt confessing her love to Dawn up to the point that the two decided to start dating.
As the show went on, they further explained their response to the hate they got when they heard the news about it. HyunA wholeheartedly said that she's okay with it and had enough of the lying. They decided to be cool to face their circumstances and take all responsibility for their actions even though they would receive backlash from it.
As a public couple, the two idols have often been seen posting each other's photos in their social media Instagram accounts, letting fans see how they love each other. They have not only a romantic couple but musicians couple as well when the two became successful with their solo debuts.
HyunA with "Flower Shower" and Dawn with "Money" on November 5, 2019, the couple has been doing well ever since. Also, they are always seen together on their social accounts, such as on Instagram and YouTube, where one can see how genuinely happy they are.
