Singer Choi Yena canceled her music broadcasting schedule.
Yuehua Entertainment, the agency, said in an official position on the 1st, "We would like to express our gratitude to the people of Earth who support and love YENA (Yena Choi)" and "The post-recording of 'Music Core' was canceled due to the artist's poor physical condition." .
He added, "We ask for the generous understanding of Gumi due to frequent schedule changes, and we will do our best to help our artists recover."
Choi Yena released her second single 'HATE XX' on the 27th of last month. Right after its release, the title song 'Hate Rodrigo' received harsh criticism.
'Hate Rodrigo' is a song written and composed by Choi Ye-na herself, and expresses her admiration for Olivia Rodrigo, a pop star who is the target of envy, with cute jealousy. However, it was criticized for directly referring to contemporary singers and for using the word 'hate' in a negative tone.
On top of that, on the 30th of last month, the music video for “Hate Rodrigo” was suddenly taken private. The agency explained, "We found that some scenes in the music video may have violated trademark rights, portrait rights, and copyrights, and we took action on the 29th."
