One of the female soloists that we will discuss in this article is HyunA. This girl, who was born on June 6, 1992, debuted as a Wonder Girls member in the initial formation, but she had to leave the group due to her health problems. Her career did not stop there, HyunA debuted as a member of a girl group called 4Minute and became popular since her debut as an idol. Until the middle of her career, HyunA released only a solo single, and many fans began to support her career to become a female soloist like now. Some of the songs from HyunA also became top songs that are widely known to people, both fans in South Korea or abroad. From then on, the peak of HyunA’s career became more apparent, and some of her personal life began to be exposed to the public and became the subject of much discussion. Besides all that, HyunA has a humble personality and is very friendly to anyone, so many people love her. So what’s keeping you waiting? Let’s see complete information about some of the top songs from HyunA that will brighten your days!
Change
HyunA made her solo debut in 2010 during her career as a member of 4Minute by releasing her first solo single, Change. During her debut solo, HyunA was considered to have a provocative dance so that the single could only be sold to buyers aged 19 years and over. Ironically, at that time, HyunA was only 18 years old. Nevertheless, Change managed to top the chart on the ‘Gaon Digital Chart.’
The concept of HyunA’s debut, which has a sensual but energetic characteristic, reaps the pros and cons of many people, including several authorities related to broadcasting in the South Korean entertainment industry. Some Korean TV stations such as KBS, SBS, and MBC even apply a rating of 15+ to 19+ for the Change‘s music video, which makes it unable to air on prime time hours when teenagers and children watch it. It is not without reason that this HyunA clip seems prohibited because it does contain things that lead to sex.
Ice Cream
HyunA continued her solo career by releasing the second solo album, which was present in 2012. The song was produced by Brave Brothers, one of the famous musicians who often made works with some very famous K-Pop songs and became top hits. In the video clip, she returned to look sexy through the scene playing with soap foam just by wearing a leather tank top. With the perfect combination of steez (style and natural) and hip hop appearance, HyunA looks even more charming when showing off her rap abilities with unique vocal characters. “HyunA will be a warm conversation. Plus, a mix of choreography that is different from video clips in general, Ice Cream becomes interesting,” explained by Park Dae-won, CUBE Entertainment’s international marketing.
It can be proved by within just three days after its release, HyunA’s music video has gained 3,200,000 viewers on YouTube. “This will certainly add to HyunA’s popularity,” added Park Dae-won. Even though the mini-album HyunA had been a victim of piracy before it was released, the single itself, Ice Cream, still managed to sit on the top of the Melon, Bugs, Naver, and others charts until October 22, 2012. “However, the success of Ice Cream was at first place on the charts made us have high hopes for the next promotion so that HyunA remains the center of attention,” Park Dae-won said.
Red
HyunA continues her comeback with the single Red, which was released in 2014. Still, with the same concept as before, HyunA appeared sexy with her new appearance with long black hair and wavy. But unfortunately, the HyunA concept that was too sexy and vulgar in the Red era invited various kinds of critical comments about the performance or the solo song. Red, who has this pop dance genre, is excellent to be enjoyed because the song is very groovy, and the choreography is also outstanding.
Most of the comments criticize the sexiness of the body that she should not show the way that is too vulgar, although some comments like his appearance. “I want to ask. Is she a singer ?? Or is he a hostess in a bar ??” wrote a netizen. Despite much criticism, HyunA still has a good career and also gets credit for her comeback with Red.
