EXID’s Hani Makes Her Stage Comeback After Delaying Her Wedding Amid Fiancé’s Controversy

EXID’s Hani is making her official return to the spotlight after postponing her wedding due to the controversy surrounding her fiancé, psychiatrist Yang Jae Woong. Hani will reunite with her EXID members for a performance at the ‘ BIG GROUND FEST 2024 ’ on November 16th KST, taking place at the Beach City International Stadium in Ancol, North Indonesia. This will be her first performance since the controversy surrounding her fiancé and the delay of their wedding. EXO's Chen and Xiumin are also slated to appear at the event.

The controversy began when a 30-year-old female patient, admitted to Yang's hospital for diet pill addiction treatment, passed away after 17 days. Yang’s delayed apology, issued two months later, only fueled public outrage. The patient’s family has since filed a lawsuit, and an official investigation is underway.

Hani faced criticism, with some questioning her awareness of the situation, as she and Yang announced their engagement just four days after the patient’s death. The backlash led Hani to step down from her role on the JTBC4 variety show ‘Review 4 Cut.’ She also missed celebrating her 12th anniversary with EXID due to the ongoing issue.

Despite the challenges, Hani and Yang’s relationship remains intact. The couple has postponed their wedding but continues to stay active on social media. Yang is set to testify at a National Assembly hearing on October 23rd, where he will address questions about the incident and the hospital’s procedures.
