EXID Hani and Yang Jae Woong in Backlash Ahead of Wedding

EXID Hani and fiance Yang Jae Woong face growing criticism online following a tragic incident linked to a psychiatric hospital

EXID Hani and psychiatrist Yang Jae Woong face backlash as their September wedding approaches. On May 31, the couple announced their wedding plans, receiving warm congratulations at first. Yang Jae Woong even shared on a TV show that Hani proposed to him, while Hani expressed her excitement about spending her life with him. However, the couple’s social media accounts are now flooded with negative comments following a tragic event connected to a psychiatric hospital.

The controversy stems from a May 26 report by SBS about the death of a 33-year-old woman at a psychiatric hospital in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province. The woman, who was hospitalized for addiction treatment, died after being restrained in her room despite showing signs of severe distress. Netizens began speculating that the hospital involved could be linked to Yang Jae Woong, further fueling the backlash against the couple.

The situation escalated after the woman’s family claimed they specifically chose the hospital because it was run by a well-known psychiatrist with expertise in addiction. Although these claims remain unconfirmed, the suspicions have led to an overload on the hospital’s website, which is operated by Yang Jae Woong and his brother.

Comments on social media have become increasingly harsh, with people questioning the couple’s decision to announce their wedding so close to this tragic event. Remarks like, “Announcing your wedding three days after a patient’s death?” and “You should reconsider your marriage after this incident,” emphasize the growing disapproval. As their wedding date nears, it remains to be seen how Hani and Yang Jae Woong will address these criticisms.
