4minute’s Hyunah revealed that she’s actually happy about the plagiarized Chinese version of her hit song, Bubble Pop,

When asked about the plagiarized music video, Hyunah replied, “I haven't seen it, but I've heard about it. The fact that they liked my video enough to copy it makes me really happy though. It feels good.”

Hyunah continued, “There was an incident a few months ago when 4minute’s Muzik was also plagiarized in Germany.” She added, “It's so fascinating that things like this happen. Our CEO, Hong Seung Sung, always tells us that the world is getting smaller, and being an Asian star means becoming a world star nowadays.”

Incidents like this make me realize that more and more people are looking at our music, videos, and performances. We need to put more effort and care into our promotions in order to show everyone our best side. I'll do my best to put all I have into every performance.”




Recently, Beach Baby Yang Jin, a Chinese singer, released a music video for her song "No No No", which obviously took inspiration from Hyunah’s Bubble Pop, stirring controversy all over the internet.

Other than apparent similarities in the song, the music video was also copied. Both had images of red lips in the beginning. Beach Baby and her dancers also wore white tank tops and blue short shorts while dancing. Both videos even had a vehicle as a backdrop, although a helicopter was used in "No No No", while Hyunah danced in front of a car in "Bubble Pop".

I find this whole thing hilarious, because wow that Chinese copy is...sad and lol, Hyuna's song takes samples(?) from two different American songs. Only one that I can remember a source for though.

I'm not a giant Hyuna fan, but she handled it extremely well. Makes me like her a little bit more. DX nuuu~

It's just one of those "most of my friends like her so I wanna be different" things.

Plus I'm not that interested in her music or image. I don't DISLIKE her for sure.

EHEHEHEHE the girl was basically talking through the "song"

"出门至少背 Chanel,这是我的 lifestyle"
When I leave the house I'm carrying a Chanel bag at the very least, this is my lifestyle

LOL

Even without a translation I knew the lyrics had to be terribad, with the random Gucci and Dior thrown in there, but that is hysterical.

omg finally a comment about the lyrics
i was lmfao-ing at the lyrics the whole time
some of the lines are so randomly thrown in there

This makes me want her to release new solo or Troublemaker material ASAP. She handled this very gracefully.

lol ofc she wouldn't be mad, the plagiarized version isn't going to be more popular than the original

as a photoshop freak, i lol'ed how for the lips moments they just played with the hues a tiny little bit. How lazy were they, i can't -_-

the chinese version is horrible. idk she talked through the whole song, at the "money money" i cringed in pain. Thou, if China thought that Bubble Pop was good enough to copy, well, that is sure flattery for kpop ;D
