HyunA’s Anniversary Post Sparks Controversy
K-pop star HyunA’s recent social media activity has stirred up a mix of nostalgia and criticism.
- HyunA celebrated 4Minute’s anniversary on June 18.
- Her post included photos of the group, which was a surprise to many.
- Netizens reacted with a mix of emotion and criticism.
Is HyunA’s recent post a sincere nod to her past, or a calculated move? The K-pop idol, formerly of the group 4Minute, has found herself at the center of online debate following a recent social media post celebrating the group’s anniversary.
HyunA’s former group, 4Minute, disbanded years ago, and the members haven’t always been seen together since. There were rumors about the members’ relationship after they weren’t spotted at HyunA’s wedding. This made the celebration even more surprising.
Anniversary Celebrations and Fan Reactions
Amidst rumors of tension, Nam Jihyun seemingly shut down any speculation by posting a photo celebrating 4Minute’s anniversary, which included HyunA.
On June 18, HyunA posted on social media to mark the occasion. She added a series of photos featuring the 4Minute members, which prompted an emotional response from some fans.
The images that HyunA shared, including photos of the group, caused a wave of emotions among fans.
However, some fans pointed out that this was the first time in nine years that HyunA had publicly acknowledged the group’s debut anniversary.
The timing of HyunA’s post, combined with her recent activities, led some netizens to interpret her actions as a “desperate” attempt to connect with fans. This was further fueled by the impact of her husband’s controversy.
Mixed Reactions Online
As a result of these actions, the online community responded with a wide range of opinions.
For the first time in 9 years, Hyuna celebrates 4Minute’s debut anniversary.

From the red lipstick diva of Kpop to the Burning Sun offender’s flopping wife. She digged her own grave and no one really cares about her anymore. I really really liked both 4minute and her but she turned out to be a huge disappointment in the end… https://t.co/mFv65QBmZk
