5. Ex-4Minute’s Hyuna
For the next performer on the list, we have the former 4Minute member, Hyuna! You must already know Hyuna for her natural sexiness or her provocative dancing, but did you know she’s an awesome rapper, too?
Kim Hyun-ah (born June 6, 1992) is a South Korean singer-songwriter, rapper, and model, better known by the mononym Hyuna. She made her debut in February, 2007, as a member of the group Wonder Girls. Hyuna left JYP Entertainment soon after leaving the ensemble and joined 4Minute, a girl-group under Cube Entertainment. 4Minute made its debut in June, 2009, and became one of the country’s most famous girl-groups.
Hyuna started her solo career in 2010, with a style she defined as “performance-oriented music.” Her debut single, Change, peaked on the Gaon Digital Chart of South Korea at number two. In 2011, with the release of her first extended play, Bubble Pop!, Hyuna won wider public recognition. Over three million digital copies were sold by the title track and she became the first woman K-pop solo artist to achieve 100 million opinions on a single YouTube music video. She appeared in a successful duet version of the global hit Gangnam Style by Psy in 2012 and later published her second extended play, Melting, which spawned her first number one single, Ice Cream.
She’s a girl with many talents, don’t you think?
Following her relationship with former Pentagon member E’Dawn, Hyuna ended her contract with Cube Entertainment in 2018. Later in the same year, she signed with PSY’s P-Nation, along with her boyfriend.
