Fans devastated as K-Pop power couple calls off their engagement and splits

Today will go down in history as a dark day for K-Pop stans as the “golden couple”, DAWN and HyunA, are no more. The two had been in what appeared to be a stable relationship since 2018, paying the price for their love by being booted out of entertainment company CUBE.

But, for a while, their love knew no bounds and fans celebrated on their behalf in February when the two announced that they were now engaged. Their wedding would have been a momentous occasion in K-Pop history but now, courtesy of a terse Instagram post by HyunA, the relationship is terminated:
