It has been reported that the MV for Choi Yena’s new song ‘Hate Rodrigo’ was made private due to Olivia Rodrigo’s request.
According to a report by XSports News on June 29th, the MV for Choi Yena‘s new song ‘Hate Rodrigo’ was changed to private at the request of Olivia Rodrigo’s side.
The title of the song has been a subject of controversy even before its release. According to industry officials, Olivia Rodrigo’s side requested for Choi Yena’s MV to go private in light of the controversy surrounding the song title.
In addition, there are reportedly copyright issues with some scenes in the MV, which made it inevitable to take down the MV, more so than the controversy over the title.
Regarding this matter, a representative from Choi Yena’s agency, Yuehua Entertainment, told the press, “We are currently confirming the situation.“
‘Hate Rodrigo’ depicts Choi Yena’s jealousy and admiration towards the popular pop singer Olivia Rodrigo. By including Olivia Rodrigo’s name in the title and combining it with the negative feeling of ‘hate,’ concerns were raised by many listeners, but Choi Yena explained it as “an ironic expression.“
However, as more criticism from Olivia Rodrigo’s fans along with negative reviews from critics surface, the controversy has grown bigger.
