HyunA Knowles reveals 'Million Dollar Babe' comeback teaser!

After attracting controversy earlier this week by vowing to sing higher than T-ara's Eunjung on her new album, HyunA Knowles has released the first teaser for summer comeback Million Dollar Babe.

It's been 5 months since HyunA concluded her first full-length album promotion, but the singer is now ready to return to the music scene with the release of her first mini-album. The first teaser photo, which was revealed on White Entertainment's official Naver page earlier today, shows HyunA posing provocatively on top of a giant red rose while wearing a matching punk-styled red leather jacket and black bustier top. The 'Supermodel Idol' has further shocked netizens by dying her hair red and shaving one side of it off, creating a similar style to 2NE1's Dara. A short caption at the bottom of the teaser boldly states,"They call me Million Dollar Babe!", suggesting that HyunA will be sporting a luxurious and glamorous concept that will highlight how she lives her rich and liberal life to the fullest.

Speaking exclusively to AllKFlop, White Entertainment's CEO Trina Villota said, "After receiving lots of love for her first full-length album 'Bunny's First Love' and her Japanese single "French Discotheque", we have decided to cancel HyunA's holiday break and get her back on stage in front of the public. For this comeback, HyunA has made a shocking, 180-degree transformation, channeling her debut days with an upgraded scandalous concept. She even sacrificed her trademark feminine style by rebelliously shaving one side of her head, becoming the first pop idol to ever sport this kind of unique haircut."

She continued, "The new image is sure to leave fans swollen and infatuated, as HyunA will be displaying an outrageous and iconic dance that's been choreographed by world famous choreographer Laurieann Gibson. With many idols like Miss A and T-ara booking Jonte Moaning to choreograph their comeback songs, we wanted to do something special and different that's never been done before. Laurieann is recognized globally for her work with the American Girls' Revolution, Danity Kane, and million-selling superstars like Cassie and Keri Hilson. She also topped the charts this year with her own solo single "Last Chance", so please expect HyunA's Million Dollar Babe comeback to be of a world-class quality."

As soon as the news surfaced, Laurieann Gibson took to twitter to confirm the news.

'Dats tru! I'm makin sweet baby wiv mah darling @HyunAKnowles 4 Million Dollar Babe. Whoz xcited?!?!'

Laurieann then took some time to answer fan questions on Twitter about HyunA's comeback,

"@PoPPer4EvA choreo inspired by new york underground drag scene!! u will luv it xo" 
"@MonsterPawsUp no not workin wiv @ladygaga ne more she iz fake @hyunaknowles is future of music"
"@KweenKellyRose whoz jess? im booked til sep cant do ne thing til then."
"@KweenKellyRose i cant cancel @hyunaknowles i already did it wtf who iz this?"

No exact date has been revealed yet, but HyunA will be releasing her new mini album early next month.

Upon hearing the news, netizens flooded our forum to share their thoughts. Comments included, "YASS! Poppers let's get HyunA to #1!", "Didn't Tiffany already shave her head last year? HyunA is so unoriginal" "It's nice of Laurieann to answer fan tweets but who was that woman trying to make her cancel HyunA comeback?" and "On Naver it says White wants to sign Laurieann exclusively as an artist and in-house choreographer. Maybe she will join Girls' Revolution too?"

HyunA Knowles vows to outdo Eunjung's high note!

Outrageous idol HyunA Knowles is at it again, this time causing scandal just weeks before her comeback by vowing to out-sing T-ara's Eunjung.

The biracial songstress made the controversial comments on last night's episode of Strong Heart, where she appeared for the second consecutive week after impressing viewers with her emotional breakdown over saesung fans last week. After the guests discussed painful trauma from their childhoods, special host Yum Bunhong of top girl group Blady turned the topic of conversation to idol vocalists, asking everyone to rank the best K-Pop singers in the country.

Without waiting for her turn to speak, HyunA boldly stood up and said, "T-ara's Eunjung is currently receiving lots of attention for her high notes in the new T-ara single "Sexy Love", but I believe I can sing even higher."


After the guests collectively gasped at HyunA's impolite manner, the idol continued, "There is some leaked rehearsal footage from the song recording that I have been studying. In the footage, Eunjung yells, "NO NO NO NO, CAN YOU FILL MA HART?", and then she screams, "HOOOEEEEEEEE, HO-OHHHH OH-HHHHHHH, SEXXXXXXY!"

As HyunA attempted to emulate Eunjung's singing in a shrill pitch, the other Strong Heart guests started cringing and laughing hysterically.

Once she finished, HyunA noticed the negative reaction of the guests, causing tears to well up in her eyes. She then continued, "On my upcoming single "Million Dollar Babe", I will surpass Eunjung's high note and become a HyunA Knowles who can place highly in vocal rankings and polls. Please look forward to it."

Netizens comments included, "Please leave the high notes to IU", "Maybe people act this rude in India, but in Korea we don't do that," "It sokay baby plz dun cry", and "I respect HyunA's confidence."

Girls' Revolution members break down over sasaeng fans

Suzy Sooyoung, Tiffany Taeyeon, HyunA Knowles, Jessica Jiyeon

Suzy Sooyoung and HyunA Knowles, from the currently inactive idol group Girls' Revolution, appeared on this week's episode of Strong Heart to promote their respective magazine features in V and Maxim, but emotions ran high when the topic of conversation turned to sasaeng fans.

When special guest host Hyelim of Wonder Girls asked if anyone had ever had bad experiences with sasaeng fans, HyunA instantly broke down and began sobbing loudly.

"Many cruel sasaeng fans taunt me on Twitter," she tearfully revealed. "They question me constantly about my race, and accuse me of not really being biracial. They say I am full Indian or some other race, and that I just pretended to be half-Korean to help me appeal better to the K-Pop market. Then they say they will break into my dorm and get DNA samples to prove it."

HyunA then grabbed Suzy's Chanel scarf and began to blow her nose with it.

"I am biracial, and I wouldn't lie. I hope one day that I can become a HyunA Knowles that is not judged by the color of her skin, but by the quality of the concepts that her label picks out for her. I know I still have many areas to improve in, but please anticipate an upgraded HyunA Knowles in the future."

Suzy then chimed in and revealed that her Girls' Revolution bandmate Jessica Jiyeon is also a victim of sasaeng fans.

"Jessica was scheduled to join us on Strong Heart today, but she pulled out when she was told we would be discussing sasaeng fans, and claimed that it was because she needs to be on vocal rest because of her grueling promotions for her album. Book of Love," said Suzy. "But I believe she was lying. I am a licensed private investigator, and I always know when somebody isn't being truthful. I believe Jessica was too scared of her sasaeng fans and didn't want to provoke them."

A typical sasaeng fan

"Because Jessica is known as the 'Best Friend' idol, many sasaeng fans think that they are her BFF," Suzy continued. "When she doesn't reciprocate their friendship, they turn crazy and stalk her obsessively. We recently discovered that they installed CCTV cameras in her private parking garage, and are looking for scandalous information to blackmail her with so she will become their friend. Our CEO is scared they will uncover something and then give the information to Jessica's rivals, like Hyorin and G.NA."

When Suzy said that, HyunA burst into tears again and cried out, "And the sasaeng fans took Tiffany! Tell them the truth, Suzy!"

"It's true," said Suzy sternly, referring to her missing bandmate Tiffany Taeyeon. "I recently uncovered some information on my new jTBC docu-drama series Idol Investigations that links sasaeng fans to Tiffany's disappearance. If you tune in to the next episode, you will discover just what it is."

As HyunA wept uncontrollably, Suzy continued. "Because Tiffany was so beautiful, she had many male sasaeng fans. They would always try to touch her indecently and tear off her clothes. I felt jealous because they never did that to me, but after I did my Playboy photoshoot, I gained many uncle sasaeng fans who follow me wherever I go and steal my dirty laundry. I can now proudly say that I have just as many male sasaeng fans as Tiffany, HyunA, and Jessica."

When Suzy finished, Hyelim solemnly whispered to herself, "I have no sasaeng fans..." before suddenly calling a commercial break and running off backstage.

Netizens comments included, "The promo for Strong Heart said that HyunA and Suzy would be performing songs from Tiffany's album, but I guess their sasaeng stories took up too much time", "Now that I know Suzy has evidence about Tiffany's disappearance, I will have to break into her dorm and destroy it", and "HyunA moved me emotionally with her genuine tears, so now I will become her sasaeng fan."

Tiffany Taeyeon releases first album 'Friday Night Fever'

Despite currently being missing somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle, lost idol Tiffany Taeyeon has finally released her first full-length album, Friday Night Fever.

[Download: Friday Night Fever]

The album was originally scheduled for release in February, but its release had to be postponed when Tiffany's plane vanished on a flight back from a music video shoot in Australia, and a mysterious warehouse fire destroyed her album photoshoot. Luckily, a small handful of pictures were saved, leading Tiffany's agency to release the album in honor of her memory and to cash-in on the publicity surrounding her tragic disappearance.

Friday Night Fever contains a total of nine songs, four interludes, and one special club remix song, making for a total of fourteen tracks. The cinematic concept of the album was directly inspired by the famous 1976 film Taxi Driver, which is about a psychologically-damaged Vietnam war veteran who becomes a late night cab driver in New York City and develops a strange friendship with a 12-year-old prostitute. For the cover of Friday Night Fever, Tiffany recreated the classic poster for the film and dressed in the iconic outfit that Jodie Foster wore in her star role as the child hooker.

At a press conference to launch the album, White Entertainment CEO Trina Villota stated: "The bold concept for the album was all Tiffany's idea, as she was a fan of the film and was inspired by T-ara's successful mini-movies to try and recreate it."

She continued: "Musically, Friday Night Fever is an album that focuses on R&B and pop music. It also contains elements of retro disco, Hip-Hop, and 90s rave music. During the recording process, Tiffany was heavily influenced by Britney Spears and Namie Amuro to make a fun and eclectic album that would showcase her powerful dance skills and unique musical color."

"To increase the appeal of this album, Tiffany worked with only the most respected Korean Hip-Hop artists, including LeeSsang, Simon D, and international hallyu superstar Jay Park, who recently conquered the American rap music industry with his critically-acclaimed mixtape Fresh Air: Breathe It. Tiffany also did a joint collaboration with her Girls' Revolution bandmates and artistic idol group Sunny Hill, as well as another BAP&TIFFANY unit song called "I Love You, Too", which is the official sequel to their top twenty hit "I Love You". With such diverse features and production from the likes of Sweetune, Daishi Dance, and Heidi Montag's producer Chris Rojas, we believe that Friday Night Fever is an album that will make Tiffany a world star."

Friday Night Fever was specifically released by White earlier today to compete directly with the current wave of top tier K-Pop comebacks, in the hopes of helping the agency overtake Core Contents Media and CUBE Entertainment as the fourth biggest agency in Korea. As of 7pm tonight, both Tiffany's album and its lead single "Do Da Disco" are current ranking behind Busker Busker, SISTAR, T-ara, and Super Junior on Korea's digital charts and Hanteo's album chart, and showing no signs that it will be able to overtake them.

Comments from netizens include, "With indie features like LeeSsang, Simon D, and Sunny Hill, why does this album sound so mainstream and commercial to me?", "I've been waiting for this album for so long. I know Tiffany is dancing to it in heaven right now." and "Just like HyunA Knowles, this has too much autotune for me. I'll stick to Jessica Jiyeon, thanks."
