Kpop Behind | All the Stories Behind Kpop Stars

On September 13, 2018, Cube Entertainment announced that it would kick Hyuna and Pentagon's E'Dawn out of it, saying it would be impossible to restore trust between the agency and the idol stars. You know, Hyuna and E'Dawn, who'd been together as members of Triple H, were reported to be real lovers in August, but Cube denied it. However, the two young stars, without discussing with Cube, later confessed that they're lovers, saying they didn't want to deceive people. Hyuna and E'Dawn are young and they have the right to love, but I understand Cube's position because the agency had invested lots of money its idols and must have felt a sense of betrayal. It's true Hyuna and E'Dawn deceived Cube and broke the agency's rule. It doesn't mean I agree with Cube's decision, though. Cube should have dealt with the thing more cleverly. Hyuna and E'Dawn have their fans, and Cube should have considered the fans. The decision was too dras...

Q. You made a comeback with your new album "Following". How do you feel? Hyuna: I've been preparing for the album since I released Triple H's album last April. I've been looking forward to making a comeback, and I'll show powerful and energetic performance on stage. Q. It's notable that you took part in writing your new songs. What did you care about the most when you were working on the songs? Hyuna: Whenever I work on my new album, I try to get a variety of opinions. My new album was a challenge for me, but I wanted to highlight natural side of myself through the album. Q. So, is that why you took your jacket photos without makeup? Hyuna: As a 26 year old woman, I wanted to photograph natural look of myself. I wore no makeup at all, and that's why you can see my facial blemishes and pores in the photos. It was a real challenge for me, but I wanted to give a special present to my fans who have been supporting me for a long time. Q....

Q. You formed your new unit Triple H with E'Dawn and Hui. How do you feel? Hyuna: I feel great to form a new unit with the Pentagon members, who are the future of Cube Entertainment. Some people say Cube uses me to promote them, but I have a lot to learn from them too. I was very nervous when I was preparing for Triple H's first album. Q. What's your relationship with the two young members? Hyuna: They might feel uncomfortable being with me, but we try to take care of each other. I think we're still trying to find common ground. Q. You appeared on Music Core and Inkigayo last week. Were you satisfied with your performance? Hyuna: Even though I appeared on only two music chart shows because music chart shows these days are not that popular, I love my costume with with a floral pattern. And it's fun to wink too. I didn't know I'm that much cute, haha. Q. It's notable that you acted in Triple H's music video. Hyuna: It's meaningful t...

Do you like Hyuna? I'm sure there are a lot of fans who love the sexy queen. By the way, Hyuna is having a hard time now. Do you know why? You know, in June 2016, 4minute was disbanded and Nam Jihyun, Heo Gayoon, Jeon Jiyoon and Kwon Sohyun left Cube Entertainment. Hyuna is the only member who decided to renew her contract with the k-pop agency, and Cube Entertainment has high expectation for her now because she is a super star and the agency believes that she alone can earn as much money as 4minute. That's why Hyuna held a world tour in North America early this year. But that's not all. At the end of 2016, the BEAST members left Cube Entertainment too and made a new start as Highlight. Even though Jang Hyunseung still belongs to Cube Entertainment, the agency doesn't have the other 5 popular and talented members any more. So, Hyuna is the only artist Cube Entertainment can depend on, and that's one reason why Hyuna formed a new sub unit "Triple H" ...

BTOB made a comeback by releasing its new album "NEW MEN" on November 7. With the title track of the album, "I'll be your man," the boy group ranked high on various online music charts, showing off its popularity. By the way, the interest of people in the kpop world is now focused whether BTOB will be able to be the future of Cube Entertainment because the agency is on the brink. You know, 4minute has been disbanded, and the only one left to Cube is Hyuna, but it doesn't seem like Hyuna is gaining as explosive popularity as before. And BEAST, the representative idol group of Cube, who has made big money for it, is likely to leave the agency. Whether BEAST will leave Cube is not confirmed yet. The members want to leave the agency and take a fresh start, but problem is that Cube has the trademark right for "BEAST" and the right will last till 2026. The BEAST members are currently negotiating with Cube. So, in this situation, Cube has gr...
