MINZY IS MANY THINGS: GIRL GROUP SWEETHEART, DANCE PRODIGY, OCCASIONAL STYLE QUEEN – AND NOW SHE CAN ADD SOLO BREAKOUT ACT TO THE LIST.
HOT ON THE HEELS OF HER MUCHANTICIPATED DEBUT EFFORT, WE WALK YOU THROUGH THE LIFE OF K-POP’S BRIGHTEST GEM.
For the past year or so, k-pop has seen its fair share of second-generation acts taking a one-way ticket to splitsville, including our all-time favourite girl group 2NE1 who called it quits in late 2016. with the members going their separate ways, minzy decided to take a shot at a solo career. after a year in the making, the multitalented songstress drops her much-anticipated debut record minzy work 01 uno – officially establishing herself as a one-woman force to be reckoned with. as we celebrate her long-awaited return, here’s a look at her evolution from k-pop princess to a solo star in her own right.
Chapter Numero Uno
In an era where girl groups don schoolgirl uniforms and croon aegyo-filled tunes, 2NE1 stood out from the pack with their bombastic beats, powerful stage presence and in-your-face attitude. while all the girls had larger-than-life personalities of their own, minzy often found herself overshadowed by the rest of her members in spite of her all-rounded talent. we revisit the former maknae’s most under-appreciated moments during her 2NE1 days.
#1 WHEN SHE GAVE BEYONCÉ AND ADELE A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY...
It’s no secret that minzy can dance like no other, but how many of us know that she possesses pipes that could even rival the likes of Queen bey and adele? it was a pity yg placed most of their attention on bom – aka the main vocalist of the group – but you can get a earful of minzy’s velvety vocals on the song covers she dished out on minzy tv. and dare we say, her acoustic takes on beyoncé’s ‘Halo’ and adele’s ‘Hello’ might even be better than the originals.
