Wow, she most certainly has a type.” | theqoo “HyunA has a type…” “I can’t believe he still has fans…” “The world is full of delulus.” “I can totally tell now what kind of guys HyunA is into, haha. She definitely has a type. It looks like she likes sickly-looking guys.” “You mean that’s not her ex-boyfriend? I had to look at the picture for a while to realize… That’s her type, for sure.” | theqoo “It’s kind of cool, I guess, to see how similar he is to DAWN.” “I find it hilarious how Yong Jun Hyung is trying to look like DAWN now, LOL.” “Whoa.
