On February 20, her agency AT AREA firmly addressed the speculation, stating, “It is not true.” They added, “She is currently exercising consistently and preparing for a new album.”
The rumors first emerged after online communities shared eyewitness accounts and photos of HyunA shopping with her husband, Yong Junhyung. In the photos taken that day, HyunA is seen walking hand-in-hand with him.
Dressed casually in a cap, a loose pink oversized jacket, wide pants, and flat shoes, HyunA appeared noticeably more relaxed compared to her stage outfits during active promotions. Some netizens speculated that her slightly fuller silhouette and loose-fitting clothes, which seemed to cover her midsection, hinted at a possible pregnancy.
HyunA married Yong Junhyung in October 2024. Since then, she has faced pregnancy rumors multiple times whenever she appeared to have gained weight compared to her famously slim “bone-thin” image during her idol career.
However, public reaction this time has largely been supportive rather than critical. HyunA previously made headlines for struggling with extreme dieting and health issues, including vasovagal syncope, which caused her to collapse during schedules in the past. Because of this history, many fans expressed relief at seeing her look healthier.
Netizens commented, “She must have worked so hard to maintain that extremely thin figure during her peak. Now that she’s married, she can live more comfortably and happily,” “It was heartbreaking when she collapsed on stage before—she looks better now,” and “I’m glad she gained weight in a healthy way.”

With the agency’s swift clarification, the pregnancy rumors have been put to rest as a simple misunderstanding. HyunA is reportedly focusing on her upcoming comeback, preparing to return to music with a new album.
