TEMPEST‘s Hwarang was recently brought under scrutiny following his apology for visiting a club.
4th-Generation Idol Apologizes For Being A Young Adult And Visiting A Club With His Friends
Although he has already apologized for the matter, the accusations have belatedly come to light. As TEMPEST is still a lesser-known group, many only found out about the accusations after the apology. To shed more light on the matter, here are the full accusations made by the fan who spotted him at the club. Not only was he spotted, but he was spotted with other 4th generation idols, MIRAE‘s Junhyuk, YOUNITE‘s Hyunseung, Golden Child‘s Bomin, and TNX‘s Hyunsoo.
The fan confronted him about it during a fansign. Here’s how the conversation went down.

- Fan: TBH, during the rest time, I saw oppa at the club.
- Hwarang: Oh really?
- Fan: Yeah.
- Hwarang: Did we meet there? Were you the one I met? Well, since I didn’t do anything bad… I like music.
- Fan: Seems like you like exciting music.
- Hwarang: I definitely never hung out with girls. I don’t have any intention of turning fans into fools.
They were upset not only by his presence at a nighttime establishment, but also for the bad timing it came with.
- “Didn’t have a one night stand” but went to the club until dawn the day before a music video filming, right after the Hanteo Charts.
- “Didn’t have a one night stand” but still went to the club with MIRAE’s Junhyuk who is on break for a leg injury.
- “Didn’t have a one night stand” but went on a club tour with Golden Child’s Bomin and YOUNITE’s Hyunseung.
- “Didn’t have a one night stand” but split the bill for a table with TNX’s Hyunsoo, who’s born in 2003.
- “Didn’t have a one night stand” but went to the club for a last ball the weekend right before a shoulder surgery.
- “Didn’t have a one night stand” but went to the club for three days in a row, as soon as he reached Seoul after his surgery, right before resuming promotions.
They also accused him of contacting a girl he met at the club via his private Instagram.
Hwarang, you said you didn’t hang out with girls, but you drank…
Hwarang, you keep in contact with the girls you meet at the club through your private Instagram…
Hwarang, you drank all night with girls, and made 2003-born TNX’s Hyunsoo pay…
— Fan
Hwarang has since apologized for the incident, while the other idols involved have yet to step up.
