Zico & HyunA, a force field that saturates the room

Live version of "Just Follow," with Zico in place of DOK2; HyunA's relative stillness makes her as steamy as ever, and Zico just kills. His rap in the middle is entirely new, and he improves on the original.

Rapping, and this slow tempo, suit HyunA well. She's digging in, sounding hard and wounded; meanwhile, her sensuousness operates on its own accord, drifts along with the music, a force field that saturates the room.

Don't know if the ban on the "Bubble Pop!" video and on its live dance routine influenced this performance. She's in pants this time, not panties or minis, and she doesn't thrust her pelvis a lot. And this works fine.

Unforgiven

HyunA BUBBLE POP! unfurled by Christo over on the Jukebox

HyunA's "Bubble Pop!" reviewed over on the Singles Jukebox. Particularly eloquent is Josh Langhoff:

The beat is hard and severe like a row of brick walls, and HyunA's job is either to squeeze between each pair of walls or, if she's on a roll, to soar over the top of the walls and contain them, as though she's being unfurled by Christo.
