[theqoo][EXCLUSIVE] "RODRIGO'S REQUEST"... CHOI YENA, 'PRIVATES HER MV'

As a result of coverage by Xports News on the 29th, at the request of Olivia Rodrigo, Choi Yena's new song 'Hate Rodrigo' music video was changed to private.

Even before the release of the new song, controversy over the title grew. According to an official, Rodrigo's side asked for the music video to be put to private, because of the controversy over the title of Choi Yena's new song.

In addition, there was a copyright issue with some scenes in the music video rather than a controversy over the title, which inevitably forced the music video to be taken down.

In this regard, an official from Yuehua Entertainment, the agency, told Xports News that they were "checking the current situation."

this entire comeback was just so cringey. why did they think this was a good idea?!! i dont even listen to olivia rodrigo and i physically recoiled watching the MV

**superyeah** · Jun 29th 2023

It was due to copyright issues since they used copyrighted images of Olivia in the MV. That was the only reason.

Aside from that, the title and concept were all fine.

The concept of the song itself isn’t a bad idea. It’s perfect. It captures the essence of pop punk perfectly. A lot of western artists pay homage to public figures through the use of namedropping.

I say props to Yena for being vocally expressive about being inspired by another artist. K-pop industry often hides this for some reason, so fans act weird about it, mistaking it for plagiarism or clout chasing.

The tragedy here is that Wicked Love is right there. Could've just been the title track.

**superyeah** · Jun 29th 2023

All I know is… I know what Yena was going for with this concept and I respect it.

It’s just poorly executed because Korean listeners don’t really understand irony and other themes of punk pop. As seen with that one comment from a K-netizen, they actually interpret it as a hate song…

And the language barrier… Some things get lost in translation.

It’s like how “Cupid” doesn’t resonate with a Korean audience because they have no idea what stuff like “hopeless romantic” means.

How did they not secure the rights to use her image? Like that’s basic?

Hahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahaha this is yuehua like come on we should expect this. Everglow was like the most famous non big 3 gg and then just vanished like the avatar because Yuehua cant get their shit together for a single moment. Theyre in this for a quick buck and they dont give a single fxck about their artists, integrity or the repercussions of their actions

It’s cringe tho because Olivia is literally just a rookie herself that’s what made it extra weird. If this was idk some veteran artist it wouldn’t have been nearly as weird.

I don’t think there would have been this much scrutiny if it was like Madonna or MJ or something lol.

Oh, for sure. That's a good point. It seemed a bit off to me at first, but I couldn't pinpoint what. It would be equivalent to a western artist making a song to praise a K-pop act.

I know what she's going for and I respect the vision, though. It's a shame because the song otherwise sounds great for her pop punk identity. Just wish she got a second opinion to prevent this mess.

She's signed to a Chinese label.

Three things in life are certain:

1. Death

2. Taxes

3. The Chinese shamelessly violating copyright/trademark law

this is it for me as well, it punches down in a way
