Singer HyunA has directly addressed ongoing speculation about her weight, saying she is managing it in a healthy way and asking fans not to be concerned.

"I am working out hard and managing my weight in a healthy way," HyunA said in a social media post Friday. "Please don’t worry about me," she added, sharing a screenshot of an article discussing changes in her weight.

HyunA has long faced repeated scrutiny over her weight, with public commentary intensifying in recent months. At one point, pregnancy rumors even surfaced, prompting her agency to respond with a clarification. Appearing on a YouTube channel last year, she said, "I gained weight because I’m happy," adding, "I found stability after getting married."

Despite such explanations, discussions about her weight continued. HyunA later wrote on social media, "Let’s get a grip and try dieting again," signaling the start of a diet. She subsequently posted a photo of herself standing on a scale.

HyunA debuted in 2007 as a member of Wonder Girls and later joined 4Minute before establishing a solo career. She has built a distinct presence in K-pop with hit songs such as "Bubble Pop!," "Red" and "Lip & Hip." She married singer Yong Jun-hyung in October 2024.
