Hyuluka is the het ship between Hyuna and Luka from the Alien Stage fandom.

Canon

Pre-ALNST

Both Hyuna and Luka attended Anakt Garden alongside each other and were shown to be relatively close. They often hung out together when they were kids, revealed as early as mid-2023 in official art. Luka presumably has a crush on Hyuna, as he tries to kiss her but it is unlikely that this crush is reciprocated as the attempted kiss ends up distressing Hyuna.

Their relationship appears to turn for the worse after the final flashback shown in ALL-IN, with some sort of confrontation taking place between Luka, Hyuna and Hyunwoo (Hyuna's brother) which resulted in Hyunwoo's death. This trauma from the death of her sibling has stayed with Hyuna as an adult, making her despise Luka.

ALIEN STAGE

Hyuna is shown attempting to stab Luka in the Prologue, with the lyrics "Bring me brightness" being sung overtop. His hand is loosely holding Hyuna's waist, as she hovers above him with a look of anger. Wearing their stage outfits, it's clear this scene was before they parted ways and Hyuna joined the rebellion.

ROUND 5

After Luka's beating, and Mizi's near-death experience, a misty smoke covers the stage, leaving the audience bewildered. As Luka sits up, bloody and bruised, he sees a group of people in deep blue clothing with green accents. Hoods covered their identities, but as two members carried the shocked Mizi away, Hyuna's hood slid off, allowing her to make eye-contact with her once-beloved friend. Luka stared at her with his lips parted slightly, contrasting with Hyuna's narrowed eyes and closed-off look.

LOVE AND PEACE and DRUNK AND PARTY

In 2024, 2 songs were released from Hyuna's perspective. In LOVE AND PEACE, we can see her suffering side, which still loves Luka, no matter what he is, for example the lines: "Inside my heart, never ending // For you, this love", "My body's all beaten up // But this love, I can't let you go", "My heart reaches you". In the song DRUNK AND PARTY we can see Hyuna more relaxed. Throughout the song she is addressing someone. And while most of the song is a dialogue with another escapee, at the beginning she is saying goodbye to someone who was suppressed and broken. In fact, it is impossible to say for sure whether it is Luka, but at this point it is quite possible.

FINAL

In Blink Gone, right in the end of the video, Hyuna walks in, staring right at Luka, who has a shocked expression, when he normally has a calm/ blank face, Hyuna too, is shocked to see him again, face to face. The round ends with Luka winning.

Fanon

Hyuluka is regarded as a popular ship due to the amount of official art and fan art that has been released of the pairing.

Fans consider Hyuna and Luka to be parallels, with the way they traded personalities as they grew older. They're considered opposites due to Hyuna's human rebellion, and Luka being the winner of Alien Stage Season 49.

Hyuna and Luka are usually paired up together, like how MiziSua and IvanTill are, which are both also semi-canon ships. On AO3, Hyuluka has over 150+ fanfics and is the most written ship for both Hyuna and Luka.

Trivia

• Amongst the 6 featured contestants of Alien Stage, Luka and Hyuna are the oldest, standing at an age of 30 and 27, respectively.
• Alongside Hyunwoo, they were all apart of the 49th class of Anakt Garden.
• Despite being older, Luka is shorter than Hyuna by 7cm. (The former is 174cm, while the latter is 181cm.)
• The background of Luka's profile is a solar eclipse, while Hyuna's is a lunar eclipse.
  • In astrology, eclipses often bring a crisis event into one's life, described to be destined, an opportunity to seek change. Additionally, solar eclipses symbolize new beginnings and offer a sense of renewal, while lunar eclipses bring fated endings and breakdowns.
  • This may also be interpreted as interfering with the path of the other, with Luka blocking the path of the sun (Hyuna), and Hyuna interfering with the path of the moon (Luka).
