HyunA Knowles releases debut single "So Scandalous"

White Entertainment's newest artist, 'Supermodel Idol' HyunA Knowles, has just released her first digital single "So Scandalous"!

"So Scandalous" is an electronic dance song with a Hi-NRG beat, autotune, and dubstep, and it features Tiffany Taeyeon, Suzy Sooyoung, and Jessie Jiyeon of Girls' Revolution.

With HyunA's debut serving as one of the most anticipated of the year, Netizens have been quick to share their thoughts on her new single, commenting, "The production makes me wish I were old enough to go to a nightclub", "She's the same as Tiffany and Suzy -- another pretty girl who can't sing", and "I love the beat, but it's the lyrics that give me a good feeling in my pants."

The track is guaranteed to cause controversy thanks to it's raunchy lyrics, as well as its racy cover art, which depicts HyunA laying on her back in the front seat of a luxury car with her legs in the air.

Speaking about her provocative pose, HyunA told Star News: "I wanted fans to see a surprising color of my charms for my debut. Everyone thinks of me as just a stunning supermodel, which I am, but there's also much more to me than that, so it was important that I showcase a bold image to the public. Please support my debut by purchasing my song on Soribada, and cheering loudly for me on music programs."

Netizens have already been sharing HyunA's "So Scandalous" concept photos and cover art on popular online portals, commenting, "My mother won't like this picture, but I love it so I will hide it under my mattress", "HyunA is a classy supermodel, so if she does poses like this then I will too tomorrow at school," and "This is not the right way for a woman to behave, and I think she should be banned like Stellar were."

"So Scandalous" is available for purchase at all online retailers now.

EXCLUSIVE: White Entertainment's Trina Villota in talks for her own reality show?

AKF can exclusively reveal that White Entertainment's controversial CEO Trina Villota may be in talks to get her own reality show with one of South Korea's major television networks!

A snitch close to the situation contacted AKF on the condition of anonymity to reveal the exclusive details on the big deal.

"There's been a lot of interest in getting Trina on TV for the past year," the source reveals. "Not only is she gorgeous and a total paparazzi magnet, but her story is something that not even the tabloids could make up. She went from being a nightclub hostess to having an affair with former White Entertainment head Mr. Kang, to buying Kang out and running the company herself with her friend KellyRose Spires. It's a recipe for ratings success"

"But there have been some major hurdles," the source continues. "The initial negotiations fell through because of money. Trina may not have a business degree behind her, but she's very savvy when it comes to money. Unfortunately, KellyRose got in her ear and pumped up her ego to the point that Trina was asking for a ridiculous price. KBS stopped taking her calls, mainly because they didn't want to deal with KellyRose anymore. KellyRose is a leech; she's always relied on other people to get through life, so she never developed the cutthroat street smarts that Trina's attained over the years. Trina only went into business with her because they're old friends, and she was short on cash to buy-out Kang."

"The deal looked dead until White signed HyunA Knowles. HyunA's bi-racial background and modelling past has given the networks fresh ideas, so now they're trying to work something out with Trina at a more reasonable price. The only difference is that now they're exploring the possibility of making the show about the whole company, and not just Trina. White is currently the only agency in South Korea with an all-female staff and roster, and the networks think it'll make a great show."

"Trina's desperate for the cash and exposure because she knows that White Entertainment is technically more famous than it is successful. There's still one problem though -- public broadcast networks are terrified of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. Trina isn't exactly the most conservative woman under the sun, and neither are the rest of the women at White -- one look at Suzy Sooyoung's latest album cover tells you that. A network doesn't want to invest money in a show that could potentially be pulled off-air, so if the show does get the green light, it'll probably be on a cable channel."

When AKF contacted White Entertainment for confirmation on the news, we received a blunt "no comment", but our source is reliable so we're confident that the information is accurate.

AKF readers, do you want to see Trina and White Entertainment on TV in their own show?

Jessica Jiyeon covers Leona Lewis & talks about her break up on Mega Seoul FM

With the Heathers' debut Japanese album Absolute First Album now available, Jessica Jiyeon dropped in on Choi-La & Aok at Mega Seoul FM for a quick chat before departing for Tokyo to begin promotions with Tiffany Taeyeon.

After wowing the room & listeners with a cover of Leona Lewis’ Collide, Choi-La & Aok centered in on Jessica's recent heartbreak. The singer attempted to avoid the barrage of questions by smiling & focusing on Absolute First Album, before finally giving in.

“It was the first real relationship I ever had.”, Jessica revealed “It was so frustrating having everyone telling me to run. Maybe I stayed as an act of rebellion.”

Aok, known for his confrontational interview tactics, then asked about her alleged feud with 2NE1 leader & rumored mistress of Teddy Park, CL.

JESSICA: “What? Where are you getting your information from? There is no bad blood between CL & I. And I know for a fact there is nothing going on between her & Teddy. Besides, 2NE1 are just as busy as Heathers, if not more! Why go from one relationship where things are too manic to work to another?”

Choi-La tried to move the conversation forward but Aok returned to the breakup.

AOK: “So you say you stayed with Teddy as an act of rebellion…huh, that seems to run in your family. Wasn’t your stepfather & ex White Entertainment Chairman Park Su Kang recently arrested for tax evasion? And on top of that, aren’t the current CEOs his ex mistress & an ex drug addict turned mobster’s wife? White Entertainment are a joke! Trina Villota and KellyRose Spires should be run out of Seoul for their scandalous pasts!”

Jessica kept her composure throughout the inquisition and responded with: “I’m really excited for this album. Tiffany & I worked really hard on it. I hope it’s a success.”, before thanking the two & saying her goodbyes as she was ushered out of the room by a handler.

Netizens responded negatively to attack: “Too far Aok”, “Wow…I would have decked him!”, “She sounded better than Leona. Screw you Aok!”, “She handled things like a pro. I‘m proud of her.”

White Entertainment unveil their new 'Supermodel Idol' HyunA Knowles!

Fledgling agency White Entertainment made a shock announcement today by revealing that they will be launching a new bi-racial female solo artist!

According to White, their new signee, HyunA Knowles, is a 19-year-old half-Korean, half-Indian model from New Delhi who will become the agency's first "Supermodel Idol".

In an official statement, White CEO Trina Villota said: "HyunA has been secretly training and preparing for her debut with us for the past year. She first came to my attention through her modelling work in India, and as soon as I saw her I knew that I had to sign her immediately."

"HyunA's exotic beauty is guaranteed to win over fans in the K-Pop industry, and we are confident that she will be one of the top rookie artists of 2011. In addition to her unique charm and looks, HyunA is also a skilled rapper, and we look forward to showing you her musical skills through her first single promotions."

"With HyunA's addition to the White Family, we will continue to build our reputation as the most culturally diverse agency in Korea with the most beautiful talent."

While White are keeping details of HyunA's first single a secret for now, they did reveal that it will be an electronic track that will show off the young star's unique colors.

Along with the announcement of HyunA's debut, White have released several official promotional photos. The photos show off HyunA's model charms, focusing on her long legs and slender figure, but some of the more provocative poses could ending up causing some controversy for the new singer.

Upon hearing the news of HyunA's upcoming debut, netizens comments, "Wow, she is truly stunning, but does she have any talent?", "I can't believe they signed an Indian, but as long as she isn't Caucasian I guess I am fine with it", "She reminds me of RaNia and Nine Muses, but a solo version."

While HyunA's ethnic background is bound to become a hot topic with netizens, she isn't actually the first Indian idol to debut this year; Alisha Budhrani of Pan-Asian girl group Blush is currently K-Pop's first South Asian star.

So AKF readers, what do you think of HyunA so far?
