HyunA’s relationship with Yong, who had admitted to watching some of the spread videos of women getting violated despite not filming any himself, has not sat well with her fanbase. After the pair announced their upcoming marriage, the backlash has only gotten louder.

One of the damning consequences of this was the cancellation of her North America Concert Tour. HyunA was scheduled to perform at multiple venues across the US and Canada in August, mostly owing to low ticket sales. It is majorly accepted that this was caused due to HyunA’s association with Yong.
The tour cancellation has taken many domestic fans aback, who didn’t expect international audiences to turn their backs on HyunA, as many consider the “I-Fans” to be more forgiving than Korean fans. Netizens also agreed that the singer brought it upon herself by choosing to be with a controversial man like Yong.
