"Girl group" juniors are consecutively evoking the "legend divas" who represent the pop music scene. After Nam You Joung reinterpreted Uhm Jung-hwa's "Invitation" in her own style, this time T-ara's Hyomin grabbed attention with a look reminiscent of Lee Hyori's "Miss Korea."
On the 13th, Hyomin posted several photos to her SNS story without any explanation.
In the photos, Hyomin stood at the microphone wearing a lavishly decorated stage costume and a sash that read "MISS KOREA." The black-and-white photos, her long hair blowing in the wind and the retro microphone combined to create the atmosphere of a staged photo shoot.
In particular, Hyomin chose Lee Hyori's "Miss Korea" as the background music for the post. With the addition of the "MISS KOREA" sash, the homage concept that evokes Lee Hyori's signature song "Miss Korea" became even clearer.
Recently, Nam You Joung, who left Brave Girls, also attracted attention by singing senior diva Uhm Jung-hwa's signature song "Invitation" again. Nam You Joung reinterpreted the song's sensual mood with a new sound based on mumbaton and Latin pop through the remake project's third single "Invitation (Feat. Lee Min-hyuk (HUTA))."
From Uhm Jung-hwa's "Invitation" to Lee Hyori's "Miss Korea," the strong concepts of female solo singers who represented their era are being summoned again through junior singers who started in girl groups.
Fans' interest continued over Hyomin's different transformation. What drew particular attention was that Hyomin, who handled various stage concepts during her T-ara activities, presented a "Miss Korea" visual that reminds people of Lee Hyori this time.
Meanwhile, Hyomin married a financier who is 10 years her senior last year.
