White Entertainment and SLAVEX announce HyunA Knowles' Debut in Japan


Earlier today, White Entertainment, home to Girls' Revolution, and Japan's biggest record label SLAVEX held a press conference in Hotel Hentai Tokyo to announce the upcoming Japanese debut of "Supermodel Idol" HyunA Knowles.

After rumors of HyunA's J-debut became a hot issue in forums and tabloids this month, both companies have finally confirmed that the K-Diva will be making her debut on May 29 with the release of her first single "French Discotheque". The song has a concept of 'young and flirtatious French lady having the best time of her life in a retro discotheque' and is said to be an official homage to HyunA's missing bandmate Tiffany Taeyeon, who is half-French and was scheduled to release a disco-themed song before her disappearance.

In an official statement given to the media, White Entertainment CEO Trina Villota said, "We are very grateful that HyunA is finally making her debut in Japan. As previously stated by SLAVEX's representatives, HyunA has been receiving many love calls from Japanese agencies due to her unique charm and exotic beauty, which we are confident will captivate the Japanese public. After taking private business meetings in hotels with various manages and agencies, we decided that it would be best to sign with SLAVEX, where HyunA will take over Tiffany's contract. Tiffany's contract contained many harsh conditions and unfair stipulations, including dangerous dietary restrictions, and dating and cell phone bans, with limited earning potential due to a poor royalty arrangement and harsh penalties for contractual breaches, but HyunA is confident that she will be able to face these hardships and even surpass Tiffany's success in Japan.

HyunA also addressed the media, stating, "Even though May is full of stiff competition with the likes of AKB48 and Mana Ashida making comebacks, I believe that my song and my model-like figure will help me to gain interest from the Japanese public, and possibly even a lucrative CF deal."
She continued, "I would love to leave a unique impression on the people of Japan. AKB48 is known as a group consisting of Maeda Atsuko and lots of backup dancers, while Mana Ashida is said to be the Japanese Rihanna; though my activities, I want to be acknowledged as the most beautiful and talented Korean artist that ever ventured into Japan. It's a title that I will confidently take from KARA, SNSD, and Tiffany with pride. So to all Japanese, please support me with lots of love and don't forget to buy my debut single on May 29th so that I won't be flopping on the charts like 2NE1 and Chi-Chi. Arigatou~"

Upon hearing the news, netizens have been quick to respond with comments like, "The Korean Goddess will soon surpass Koda Kumi", "French Discotheque sounds hawt! Retro is kind of her signature thing now, I don't even remember Wonder Girls is the pioneer of retro sound in K-Pop.", "Oh I thought she was going to release a lesbian porn movie with Miyabi. But then again all her music videos are soft-porn, so I'm down for whatever!", "It seems to me she copied Tiffany and T-ara too much...", "Is the flower in her hair the same one as Hello Venus? She's such a copycat."
