Amidst speculations of a romantic relationship between Yong Junhyung, former member of the group Highlight, and Hyuna, their agencies are currently in the process of verifying the facts.

An official from Yong Junhyung's agency, Around US Entertainment, responded to OSEN on the 18th, stating that they are "checking" the situation.

Earlier that day, both Yong Junhyung and Hyuna posted a single photo on their respective social media accounts. The shared photo featured a man and a woman holding hands and walking on a sandy beach, captured from behind. Hyuna tagged Yong Junhyung's social media account on the photo of the man's back.

Although Yong Junhyung did not comment on the photo, the fact that he and Hyuna posted the same image simultaneously has sparked rumors of them dating.

Hyuna added to the speculation by attaching a comment with a couple emoji to her photo, writing, "Please look kindly upon us."

Yong Junhyung and Hyuna were previously affiliated with Cube Entertainment, having a senior-junior relationship in the music industry.
