[ASKKPOP] HyunA talks about her sexy concept, support from Wonder Girls' Yenny, and more in a recent interview

Q: What do you want to get across through this album?

A: I want to become a brand. I hope that when you think of HyunA, you think of the word, "hot." Red is a passionate and strong [color]. To that extent, I want to show a passionate image.

Q: Your title track "Red" feels like a sexy concept.

A: The color red is meaningful to me. It's a color that I liked since my debut, and every time that I won #1 on music shows, I was wearing the color red. I get into a good mood when I look at the color red... I think this song was made for me.

Q: When do you think you are the most sexy?
A: I think this these days [laughs]. My makeup and styling gives off a sexy yet healthy vibe, and I exercised a lot as well. I thought that I looked good when I wore my stage outfit and had my full makeup on during the filming for my [album] jacket [laughs]. I normally have a young image, so I will show a bit more mature image this time.

Q: How has the level of revealing outfits changed since your previous comeback?

A: Because people have the anticipation that I will show something strong, I do wear revealing outfits. I am the type to be very revealing, and if I'm able to show a daring look, I think it's appropriate to prepare for it. In the past, I felt burdened by it. I didn't know how to pull off my outfits. This time, I exercised and prepared a lot.

Q: You will be making your comeback at the same time asWonder Girls'Yenny.

A: I heard that a long time ago. Yenny unni also listened to my song a while back, and we both liked each other's songs [laughs]. It feels like we're the exact opposite. Because it's a song that I cannot do, I liked Yenny unni's music and [Yenny] unni also told me, 'If it comes out during summer, people will like it. It's refreshing.' I think it will be fun to promote together [laughs].

Q: Should people anticipate a performance withB2ST'sYoseob?

A: It would be nice if we perform on stage together, but there are no plans for that right now. B2ST have ended their [comeback] promotions. I wondered what it would be like to collaborate with Yoseoboppa,so I requested it. [Yoseob] has a lot of other performances, so I don't think we will be able to perform together.

Q: If you were to choose a sexy singer as your rival.

A: I pay attention to all of them [laughs]. I meticulously monitor those that come on TV these days. Because I'm promoting as a solo artist, I tend to look at female solo artists a lot. I look at the female artists' diet photos that come up a lot, and I get motivated to work out harder.

HyunA will make her comeback with title track "Red" off her third mini-album 'A Talk' on the 28th!
