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" ...

She looks prettier than ever. Doesn't she? :)

I weighed much when I debuted, and I've tried really really hard. Actually, I was afraid to work out with somebody else because I had to expose an inferiority complex about my looks. That's why I began to be on a diet by myself. At first, I didn't know anything about diet and surfed the Internet to get some information. What I found was a no-white-food diet. So, I began to  avoid white foods, such as white bread, white rice, and sugar. After then, I had an apple in the morning and went to the gym everyday. I worked out on the treadmill, jumped rope and exercised my arm with a plastic bottle filled with water. These days, I'm trying to cut down my intake of carbohydrates. I eat half a bowl of rice and do not eat soup. And n o matter how busy I am, I do exercise  before I go to bed.
