Say what you want about hyuna, but there’s more to the k-pop diva than her flamboyant music videos and wild child antics.
Love her or hate her, there’s no denying that the former 4minute member is having her biggest moment yet. Whether it’s her sultry wardrobe or her unapologetic attitude, the 24-year-old’s always in the spotlight – but her bold appeal often overshadows the k-pop powerhouse’s subtle lyrical messages. Ahead, we decipher the true meanings behind HyunA’s explosive tracks.
EXHIBIT A: SHE’S AMBITIOUS FOR THE RIGHT REASONS
“At the young age of 24, I have quite a lot / but these days, I want more” – ‘ice ice’ (a+)
Debuted at 14 as part of wonder girls, joined 4minute at 17, began her solo career at 18, went co-ed with trouble maker at 19, and celebrating her 10th year anniversary at 24... Let this sink in. No matter how controversial she has been, you have to admit that HyunA has tremendous star potential (that she’s working perfectly). Compared to her peers who have ventured into other aspects of the industry, HyunA staunchly stuck to music, even rejecting acting offers just so she could “stick to one path”. We can’t wait to see HyunA’s growth as an artiste in her bid to “want more”!
