Posted on by AMK Station

Just a week after the release of her 9th mini-album, “Attitude,”HyunA is being dubbed a “flop”and “nugu”by K-pop fans due to her first-week album sales.

On May 2, the highly acclaimed “Sexy Queen of K-pop”HyunA made her long-awaited comeback after two years with her latest EP, “Attitude.”This EP marks her first collaboration with the renowned music producer duo, GroovyRoom.

The female soloist was involved in every aspect of the production process for this release, including writing lyrics, composing, and planning the music video.

The album specifically showcases her sincere and self-assured demeanor as she begins a new chapter at AT AREA, her new home following her departure from P NATION.

The album consisted of four songs, one of which was the title track, “Q&A.”This song highlights her opulent and alluring charm, as well as her modern and fashionable style. The music video was shot in Bangkok, Thailand, in order to capture her unique and sensual visuals.

Some of the top musicians also collaborated with her to finalize the album, such as GroovyRoom, LDN Noise, BOYCOLD, Giriboy, GEMINI, Changmo, and numerous others who contributed to the making of the b-sides, “Attitude,””Ah!”and “RVSP.”

On May 8th, approximately a week following the release of her album, HyunA’s album sales sparked ridicule and made her the subject of mockery.

According to the Hanteo Chart, the soloist had a promising start with first day sales of 10,405. However, sales gradually decreased in the following days, reaching a low point of only 5 sales on the third day.

As of May 9th, it was announced that her first-week sales had reached 13,577 in total.

Surprisingly, this album has become her highest-selling record during the first week of her solo career.

However, what is the reason behind her being ridiculed for this?

On X, there was a surprise among netizens as they noted her lower album sales in the past, leading them to label her as a “flop”and “nugu.”

Although album sales were not as significant as chart rankings at the time, which she has an advantage in, online commenters have noted that considering her popularity, she should currently be achieving higher album sales.

Despite her poor performance, many are arguing that she should not be supported due to her decision to date Yong Junhyung, a known sex predator, which has caused betrayal among K-pop fans.

Prior to her comeback, she stirred up frustration among fans with her interview discussing her relationship with the idol, despite the fact that the majority of the public has expressed their disapproval towards the couple.

To provide some background, her boyfriend had previously watched illicit videos involving Jung Joon Young, in which the girls were victims of sexual assault and rape.

Despite facing public backlash, HyunA remained unapologetic about their relationship and defended her decision as a way to prioritize her own happiness.

Despite having a large fanbase in Korea, it appears that even her Korean fans have abandoned her, as it was revealed that approximately 11k of her album sales were bought by her China bar supporters.
