Singers HyunA and Dawn have broken up.

HyunA uploaded the news on her Instagram Thursday.

“We broke up,” she wrote on the post, without directly mentioning Dawn. “We’ve decided to stay good friends and colleagues. Thank you for always supporting us.”

Dawn has yet to confirm the matter.

HyunA and Dawn made their relationship official back in August 2018. The couple reportedly became engaged this February, when HyunA uploaded a series of pictures on Instagram showing her engagement ring that Dawn had customized.

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.
