KARA’s Hara & BEAST Junhyung Are Dating! Netizens More Worried Than Upset 2011

KARA’s Hara & BEAST Junhyung Are Dating! Netizens More Worried Than Upset 2011

Just a week ago, SHINee‘s Jonghyun and rising actress Shin Se Kyung announced their split, and now BEAST‘s Junhyung and KARA‘s Hara have swiftly taken up residence as the next young celebrity couple.

Representatives from both idol members’ agencies, CUBE Entertainment and DSP Media, have confirmed the couple’s relationship, which began about a month ago.

Dispatch reporters spotted the couple on a few dates earlier this month. Apparently, due to busy schedules for both BEAST and Kara, Hara and Junhyung were only able to go on three dates since they began dating, where of course Dispatch was present to snap some paparazzi photos.

For Hara and Junhyung, the response is different from the flood of hate comments that rained on Shin Se Kyung’s cyworld and the sudden drop in Jonghyun’s fan cafe numbers that immediately followed their confession.

That’s not to say that devoted BEAST and KARA fans aren’t heartbroken and/or happy for the two, but there seems to be a bigger issue at hand. Netizens have expressed their concern for the Hara-Junhyung couple, wondering why the agencies so easily admitted that the two were in fact dating.If they’ve only gone out three times, what’s the point of admitting that they’re in a budding relationship? Netizen comments included, “Why did they confess so easily? What if it doesn’t end well?” and “Wow, times really have changed…”

Comparisons to the Jonghyun and Se Kyung are inevitable, since that couple also revealed their relationship one month into dating after being caught by reporters.

Unfortunately, this had also led to some conclusions about Hara and Junhyung. Upcoming Japanese promotions for Kara with their latest single “Go Go Summer” and BEAST’s debut Japanese single “Bad Girl” = busy schedules = reason why the first couple broke up.

One thing’s for sure, Hara and Junhyung have got all eyes on them from here on out, and we’re thinking that’s not necessarily a good thing. Do you think they’ll suffer the same fate as the Jonghyun-Se Kyung couple? Maybe I should rephrase that — how long do you think until they suffer the same fate as the Jonghyun-Se Kyung couple?Read More
