Korean solo artist Hyuna, landed a spot on the Billboard World Album Chart this week with her latest EP, Following, coming in at number five.
Hyuna first debuted as a member of Wonder Girls in 2007 at age 14. She later joined the girl group, 4Minute after leaving Wonder Girls in 2009. Hyuna started her solo career while still apart of 4Minute in 2010 with her single “Change”.
Bubble Pop!, her first EP, sold more than two and half million copies, and Hyuna became the first female kpop solo artist to reach 100 million views on a single YouTube video in 2011. Hyuna then went on to appear in Psy’s “Gangnam Style” in 2012.
4Minute disbanded in 2016, but Hyuna is now apart of a group under the same company called Triple H. Pentagon members Hui and E’Dawn are also apart of Triple H which was just formed in 2017.
Following was released Aug. 29 and is Hyuna’s sixth EP release. The EP consists of five songs: “Party” featuring Pentagon member Wooseok, “Babe”, “Purple” featuring fellow Triple H and Pentagon member E’Dawn, “Dart”, and “Mirror”. The tone of the EP transitions from upbeat, hip-hop rapping with “Party” down to a more chill, techno house music feel with “Mirror”.
