Despite the sizable remaining following, many long-time fans, who had supported her since her debut in 2007, were among those who turned away.

It's quite tragic and upsetting that Hyuna, who has always advocated for women's liberation and empowerment, would ever consider hanging out with a man who has subjected women to some of the worst treatment possible. My thoughts are with the victims who I'll have to endure visage
