On the 16th, Hani took to Instagram to celebrate EXID's victory on the 'Immortal Songs' Baby V.O.X. special, expressing her joy by saying, "Congratulations EXID!!!!! Thanks to the help of so many people, we were able to be ourselves once again."
She expressed her gratitude to her fellow members, saying, "Thanks to our leader Solji unnie for suggesting we perform together, to our amazing rapper Anneli who gave her best despite her back pain, to L.E who worked hard despite her busy schedule and lack of sleep, and to our center Jeonghwa who filled the stage with her dance despite the tight schedule."
Hani also reminisced about the late composer Shinsadong Tiger, saying, "I especially miss Tiger oppa on a day like this. Oppa, we won~~!💪"
Additionally, she expressed her affection for her fans, known as LEGOs, saying, "To our LEGOs☺️, it's such a blessing to be loved by someone... Just as you wish for my happiness, I always pray for yours. Thank you🙏🏻❤️"
Previously, in May of last year, a controversy arose when a woman in her 30s died at a psychiatric hospital in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, where Hani's fiancé, psychiatrist and broadcaster Yang Jae-woong, serves as the chief director. The couple faced backlash when their engagement was announced in August, leading to Hani's social media being flooded with criticism, her withdrawal from scheduled programs, and the postponement of their September wedding.
