HyunA Talks About Her One-Sided Crush On DAWN + How They Began Dating
On November 9, HyunA and DAWN (Hyojong) made their first variety show appearance as a couple on JTBCās āAsk Us Anything!ā
HyunA was the first to appear on set and she said shyly, āI brought my boyfriend today,ā making the cast members react in surprise. Once both HyunA and DAWN had been introduced, Min Kyung Hoon asked, āHow long have you two been dating?ā
DAWN said that it was almost four years (the two went public in 2018, but have been dating since 2016) and Min Kyung Hoon immediately followed up with, āWho approached the other first?ā
HyunA said, āI⦠This kind of hurts my pride, but⦠I waited for a year and a half.ā In response to Kim Heechulās question, she confirmed that that was how long sheād had a one-sided crush on DAWN. āIt wasnāt a āsomeā relationship. There was nothing there at all. I was just in love by myself.ā
She added, āHe would always act in a way that was different from what I expected. For example, it had been months but he didnāt ask me for my phone number, even though we were together every day. When we spent time together, he would always keep distance between us. That started to bother me.ā
Kang Ho Dong asked, āWasnāt it obvious that you liked him?ā and HyunA replied, āI made it obvious but he said he never noticed.ā
Kim Heechul intercepted a question from Min Kyung Hoon and asked how she finally made her confession. She said, āI bought a bottle of soju and took it home. I took a photo of it to let him know that Iād been drinking. He replied, āJust a minuteā and it turned out that heād gone out and bought a bottle too. So that we could drink together even though we were apart. He also told me to drink slowly because he knew I wasnāt good at drinking. That made my heart beat faster.ā
She continued, āI said to him, āI have something I want to tell you. Iāve liked you for a long time and I tried to let you know, because we werenāt in a situation where I could confess to you first. But youāre really bad at noticing things. Iām getting the courage up to confess to you, so please wait for me.ā
āBut he was really direct about it,ā she concluded. āHe said, āWhy? Canāt we just date now?ā I was so happy that I couldnāt stay still, but I was also a little sad. Iād waited for so long but it happened so easily, so it felt like a dream rather than reality.ā
