The couple first came to know each other in 2015, when Dawn, who went by the name E’Dawn back then, was still a trainee. He had performed with HyunA on stage during her hit song “Roll Deep,” replacing BTOB rapper Jung Il-hoon as the guest vocalist.

HyunA is currently not represented by any entertainment agency. The ex-couple left P Nation in August after their contracts with the agency expired.
