I listened to TARATIKA again today after almost 3 years, and tried to search for HYNA again. On google, I couldn't find anything past 2011. So I went on her facebook page and found this sad post:

Today, June 21st, is my birthday here.
People who know that I've been singing for all my life maybe are wondering what am I doing or if I've given up on my dream or career, but that's not right at all!
Everyday I sing and there is no day in which I don't do voice training.
My dream is everlasting and everyday I'm dreaming about it.
Of course, I've never forgotten my fan's faces who have supported me and my friend's faces who have come to my concerts even for a moment.
I'm living everyday thinking that I wanna see you guys.
Almost two years have passed since I have gotten away from the stage.
During these times, I have met many people who are playing active roles in their fields other than music.
Even though I only have music and can't sing songs now , even so,
the reason that I could spend unforgettable moments which became lifetime memories was because of the people who were by my side, who made me smile and who were waiting to hear my songs.
And though it seems like there is a mountain which I couldn't get over by myself,
A long night through which I couldn't persevere crying by myself,
A dark tunnel which I couldn't see the exit ,
always there was another part of myself that told me “ Don't give up, Keiko. You can pull through. When you are in hard times, be strong.”
Because of this part of myself within that lifts my soul and makes me stand up again and songs which I have been making, my anxiousness disappeared and safe and sound, I could welcome my birthday with joy.
I am still immature, spoiled like a baby(lol), and owe you many obligations,
I appreciate my power of faith that has never doubted “a ray of light leads the way to my dream” even for a moment and the people who have't deserted me and have supported me whenever I'm in a hard situation like this.
And at this time to renew and reflect called my birthday, I'm gonna respect every moment and work on improving myself.
Please support me from now on and forever .
Happy Birthday to Keiko!!
Today is MY DAY♡
Respect and One Love..You're all my BFF !

She posted that in 2013. That's the most recent she seems to mention anything about her singing career. I miss HYNA and hope she'll come back someday soon.
Edit: Actually, I see a recent reply from her to a fan:
