Singers HyunA and Yong Jun-hyung will hold their wedding ceremony on Friday afternoon at Samcheonggak, a popular traditional Korean style restaurant located in central Seoul.

The wedding comes nine months after the couple announced their relationship on Jan. 18 by posting photos on their respective social media accounts showing them walking hand in hand.

HyunA and Yong were both previously signed to entertainment agency Cube Entertainment as members of girl group 4Minute and boy band Beast, which both debuted in 2009.

HyunA began her solo career in 2010 with hit songs like "Bubble Pop" (2011), "Ice Cream" (2012) and "Lip & Hip" (2017).

Yong’s boy band Beast changed its name to Highlight after the boy band established its own label, Around US Entertainment, in 2017.

Yong left the boy band in March 2019 after being embroiled in controversy for watching illicit videos taken by singer Jung Joon-young, whose crimes came to light as part of the investigation into the so-called Burning Sun scandal involving former Big Bang member Seungri.

Yong uploaded an apology letter on Instagram on June 12, admitting to watching an illegal video sent by Jung, but said he did so without knowing about the content of the video.
