I focused on areas that I never tried out before. It’s easier to work with people that are familiar with me and my musical style, but I wanted to really challenge myself and do new things. You worked with producer Shinsadong Tiger for your singles “Change,” “Bubble Pop,” and “Trouble Maker.” But for your latest track, “Ice Cream,” you worked with producer Brave Brothers. It wasn’t hard acting like I was mad at him for eating my ice cream, because he really enjoyed it! But he thought nothing of it! He was back in Korea for a commercial shoot, while I was shooting for my music video so the timing worked out perfectly! You can see from the video, but we ad-libbed the entire opening scene. I did not want to burden him by asking whether or not he would want to make a cameo appearance in my video. Honestly, I felt really bad asking him for a favor! Especially because he was so busy with promotional activities overseas.
People tell me they like my personality more than my face. I think people are more attracted towards my personality, smile and energy. When most people see me in person think I’m either really small or skinny. But the advantage I have is that the performances I do can only be done by me. Honestly, I don’t think I’m exceptionally pretty or talented. I can go from doing an electronic track to hip-hop to even folk songs. I don’t really get intimidated about trying out new things on stage. I think there’s going to be a lot of artists that are going to start breaking down barriers and paving ways for K-pop artists to crossover. During our performances, I can tell that our audiences have tripled lately. I think PSY opened a lot of doors for K-pop artists. is limited because I can only see or learn things from here, but I want to go experience it all.Įvery time you release a video on YouTube, it goes viral! What do you think it’s about you that fans worldwide love? I am putting in a lot of hours studying English. In order for me to jump on the opportunity, I need to be prepared. I think people are taking more interest in me because I’ve been getting a lot of exposure lately. It is all because of PSY and I have been very lucky. I can’t specifically talk about my plans, but it is true that positive ideas are being discussed. But as long as I work hard and get good results, I think everything will connect.ĭo you have plans to debut in the States? I am worried that I might inconvenience or have inconvenienced him because I received so much love and attention because of him. I received more than I can ever ask from him that it actually worries me. “Gangnam Style” surpassed a billion views! You had a large popularity in K-pop before the music video, but did it help you gain more recognition in foreign countries?įirst and foremost, I just want to thank PSY. It was interesting to work with a lot of international directors and producers.
I was extremely happy as I was able to perform on all kinds of stages and meet/work with new people. When I look back at last year, I was such a lucky person. I have so much to be thankful for in 2012. Plus, be sure to read our bonus questions below including plans on 4minute’s comeback this year.

Watch the video to get a behind-the-scenes look at her photoshoot, plus read on to learn about collaborating with PSY for her music video and whether she plans on debuting in America. HyunA took time to talk to Billboard in a rare interview. Later she found the opportunity to promote as a solo artist and even with exciting unit projects like the Trouble Maker sub-unit, with labelmate Hyunseung of boy band Beast, and Dazzling Red with other K-pop all-stars. She left the group due to health reasons that year, but ultimately landed with Cube Entertainment where she debuted with 4minute. it may surprise many to know she originally debuted as part of the ultra-successful Wonder Girls group in 2007 (she raps the bridge in single “Irony”). HyunA has blossomed into a true superstar in the past years and the good company she keeps laid the ground for a successful pathway. HyunA and PSY released a collaboration version of the mega-popular track with almost 250 million views the second most-viewed K-pop video of all-time. With over one billion views, HyunA inadvertently was lodged into the international consciousness. Yet all things seemed to move into hyperspeed with her appearance in PSY’s “Gangnam Style” video as the rapper’s gorgeous dance partner.
