Can singer HyunA remove the label of 'Yong Joon-hyung's wife' and stand again as a solo queen?
HyunA is returning to her main profession. According to her agency, At Area, HyunA will release a new single titled 'Can't (Mrs. Nail)' on various music sites on the 30th and make her comeback as a singer.
HyunA also heightened expectations by unveiling teaser content alongside the news of her return. She appeared with her hands clasped and turned away, drawing attention with her glamorous nails that stood out against a striking art background. Given that HyunA has frequently embraced bold concepts in the past, interest is growing regarding what image she will present in the new release.
In particular, this new album is noteworthy as it marks HyunA's first new song since marrying Yong Joon-hyung on Oct. 11 last year.
HyunA and Yong Joon-hyung, who both belonged to CUBE Entertainment, debuted in the groups 4Minute and Beast, respectively, and have maintained a long-standing relationship as colleagues in the music industry. They then made headlines with their public relationship and marriage as a couple of active singers. It raises curiosity whether Yong Joon-hyung's involvement or influence will be reflected in HyunA's new album.
There is also interest in whether HyunA can once again rise to the position of 'solo queen' in her first comeback since becoming a married singer. Over the years, she has established herself as a female solo artist with releases such as 'Bubble Pop!', 'Ice Cream', 'Red', 'Do You Like Water?', 'Lip & Hip', 'Ice Game', and 'Nabillera'.
Particularly during the early days of her solo career, the success of 'Bubble Pop!' and 'Red' helped her establish a unique position, earning her the moniker 'sex symbol' and being recognized as a representative of sexy singers. Each time she made a comeback, her sensational concepts captured attention, and her performances were also a hot topic. Furthermore, HyunA showcased her distinctive talent through her activities in 4Minute as well as her work in co-ed groups Trouble Maker and Triple H.
However, as personal issues such as dating, breakups, and marriage unfolded one after another, the label of 'solo queen' became blurred, making this new release, which is her first comeback after marriage, significant.
HyunA, who has newly acquired the title of 'Yong Joon-hyung's wife,' is gathering attention on whether she can announce the return of 'the sex symbol' once again.
