K-pop stars HyunA and Dawn get engaged, four years after romance upended their musical careers
- Singer and rapper-songwriter announce engagement on social media, four years after winning a public relations battle with music label over their relationship
- They have been dating since 2016 and, now signed to K-pop star Psy’s label, have continued to release music as soloists and together as HyunA&Dawn
K-pop sweethearts HyunA and Dawn announced their plans to marry on February 3.
The couple shared their plans through a series of Instagram posts featuring a pair of matching opal rings, Dawn asking HyunA to marry him and her response.
“Marry Me,” wrote rapper-songwriter Dawn, born Kim Hyo-jung, in the caption of one post. HyunA (Kim Hyun-a) responded, “Of course my answer is yes” in another, while also sharing another post of the rings.
The artists, who perform both as soloists and together as HyunA&Dawn, began dating in 2016 when both were signed to the South Korean music label Cube, where Dawn, previously known as E’Dawn, was a member of boy band Pentagon.
The pair quit the label in 2018 amid tumult after their relationship became public knowledge.
