A very popular K-pop couple has broken up. Kim Hyun Ah (better known as HyunA) and Kim Hyo Jong (known as DUSK) confirmed by Instagram that they broke up. “We broke up,” HyunA wrote in her post soompi. “We have decided to remain good friends and colleagues from now on. Thank you for your support and for always lovingly watching over us.” DAWN has yet to address the breakup of their own Instagram Side.
HyunA’s relationship with DAWN began in 2016, but they didn’t go public until two years later. Although they initially denied the romance, they eventually decided to confirm it to the public. “While we know that [dating publicly] bonded in any way, we both felt it would be difficult to meet the eyes of our fans [while performing]” they explained per soompi. “We wanted to tell our fans honestly and show that we confidently enjoy the performance.”
While HyunA is best known for her involvement in K-pop girl groups Wonder Girls and 4Minute before embarking on a solo career, DAWN was formerly a member of the group Pentagon. Both singers were also part of the group Triple H, who released two EPs together in 2017 and 2018. Despite being banned from Cube Entertainment following the public announcement of their relationship, HyunA and DAWN continued to sign with PNation and released a collaborative EP in 2021.
HyunA and DAWN sparked rumors that they got engaged in February 2022, although they never confirmed whether the rumors were true or not. They both posted videos showing them with matching rings on Instagram, with DAWN captioning his video “MARRY ME” and HyunA responding to her post, “Of course, yes.” Fans were ecstatic then and are delighted with the news of the breakup now devastated.
