Choi Yena Cancels “Music Core” Appearance For “Hate Rodrigo” Due To Issues In Health
Soloist Choi Yena has been facing backlash recently after the launch of her new title track, “Hate Rodrigo.” While the singer is loved for her peppy, punk rock inspired hits, the new track was a hit or miss, due to the title. The song was meant to express Yena’s love and respect for the pop star Olivia Rodrigo in a cute way. The title rubbed some the wrong way, resulting in controversy.
