HyunA, Fans Celebrate Her Longed-For Weight Gain: ‘Proud of Her Progress'

In a whirlwind of controversy and mixed reactions, K-pop sensation HyunA finds herself at the center of a storm involving dating scandals and body image perceptions.

Once hailed as a feminist icon and adored by millions of fans worldwide, HyunA's recent choices have polarized her fanbase.

The controversy ignited when it was revealed that HyunA is romantically involved with Yong Jun Hyung, a figure tainted by his association with the infamous "Burning Sun" scandal.

This revelation prompted a significant number of her fans to distance themselves from her, citing feelings of betrayal and disappointment.

Social media platforms witnessed a notable decline in her followers, while a surge of anti-fans emerged in response to her relationship choice.

HyunA, known for her candidness about body image struggles and extreme dieting in the competitive K-pop industry, recently sparked a different kind of reaction with a personal revelation.

She shared on her Instagram account that she had gained weight, celebrating a milestone of reaching 46.6kg (about 103lbs).

For a performer whose weight had previously dropped dangerously low to 40kg (88lbs), this progress was met with joy and support from her loyal fanbase.

One of her fans on social media:

"While still medically underweight, HyunA's weight gain is seen as a positive step towards better health."

They reflected the sentiments of many who rallied behind her amid the controversies.

Despite the turmoil, HyunA has not shied away from her career commitments. She recently made a comeback with her new single "Attitude" and announced an upcoming tour in North America scheduled for August.

However, the reception to these announcements has been mixed, with lukewarm responses from some and outright boycotts from others who feel conflicted about supporting her career in light of recent events.

AT AREA, HyunA's label, has yet to issue an official statement addressing the controversies surrounding her personal life.
