[NEWS] Hyunah's co-written track "Very Hot" banned from MBC and KBS

A track from Hyunah's soon-to-be released mini album "Melting" has been banned from broadcast by KBS and MBC. The song titled "Very Hot" is co-written and co-produced by Hyunah herself, Cube Entertainment's producer Shinsadong Tiger and Lee Won.

A representative of Cube Entertainment expressed on October 17, "The song has been deemed inappropriate for broadcast because the brand "kakaotalk" appeared in the lyrics. This seems to be the main issue regarding this track."

"Very Hot" is at the center of attention even before its release because it's one of the highlights of "Melting" as Hyunah was involved in its production.

Cube Entertainment added, "The lyrics in question are part of the song because it's related to life off-stage. We're currently considering whether we should modify the problematic part of the lyrics and submit the song to the commission again."

Meanwhile, "Melting" is set for release on October 22.

[NEWS] "Hyunah, stronger this time"... Music industry in anxious state

 

On the 17th, Hyunah will make her solo comeback and is expected to command attention with a stronger concept.

The singer who showed a cute and sweet image last year with 'Bubble Pop' will reveal a sexier charm this time. Although the details have yet to be fully revealed, the concept and tone are said to be more powerful.

An official representative of Cube Entertainment stated, "We are working hard to show you a more mature side compared to past promotions. You will be able to see that the general feeling will be a little bit stronger."

The music industry has been in a nervous state as it awaited Hyunah's specific comeback schedule. As Hyunah's provocative comebacks frequently become hot issues, this comeback is expected to become a hot topic of discussion once again. Also, the hot overseas reaction towards her appearance in Psy's 'Gangnam Style', which is reaching 500 million views, can easily be seen.

After the Hyunah's new title track was revealed to be called 'Ice Cream', there have already been heated debates over whether Hyunah's new concept would be as suggestive as her past solos. Her ability to raise controversy is no joke.

The title track of Hyunah's second mini album, 'Melting', is Hyunah's first collaboration with renowned composer Brave Brothers. Cube Entertainment's representatives explained, "The point of 'Ice Cream' is to show a sweet and sexy image by comparing hearts with ice cream, and depict the magical moment when ice cream, or our heart, melts."

[NEWS] Hyunah saw the devil

[11.02.02] Hyunah saw the devil

This February 2nd, during SBS's special program for the Lunar New Year recorded in Pattaya (Thailand), King of Idols, some popular idols were confronted to one another during games.
After the dancing segment and the wrestling challenge, teams were opposed in a game during which the first to eat the weed suspended on the horizontal bar would win the face-off.
For this game, Hyunah and 2AM's Jinwoon were up against Park Jungmin and SISTAR's Hyorin, the male idols supporting the female idols on their shoulders.
Hyunah, good at shoulder riding, was first to get near the weed.

However, Hyorin started to attack her and grappled her. Hyorin definitely showed her competitive spirit by trying to throw Hyunah, who was withstanding and holding the horizontal bar firmly, into the water.
In response to her unceasing attacks, Hyunah acted irritated and even bluntly called her a devil. She ended up begging Hyorin not to eat the weed.

Hyunah eventually got herself together and tried to eat the weed once again. This time, she was disturbed by Park Jungmin who was sprinkling water on her and hence called her a devil.
Whoever the devil was, the pair showing its strong competitive spirit (Jungmin and Hyorin) won the challenge.
