Nevertheless, Change managed to top the chart on the ‘Gaon Digital Chart.’The concept of HyunA’s debut, which has a sensual but energetic characteristic, reaps the pros and cons of many people, including several authorities related to broadcasting in the South Korean entertainment industry. Some Korean TV stations such as KBS, SBS, and MBC even apply a rating of 15+ to 19+ for the Change‘s music video, which makes it unable to air on prime time hours when teenagers and children watch it. It is not without reason that this HyunA clip seems prohibited because it does contain things that lead to sex.
Ice Cream
