Choi Yena, (G)I-DLE’s Yuqi drop music video for ‘Hate Rodrigo’
K-pop soloist Choi Yena has released a music video for her new song ‘Hate Rodrigo’ featuring (G)I-DLE member Yuqi.
Choi Yena has unveiled the music video for her new single ‘Hate Rodrigo’. The song is part of the former IZ*ONE singer’s second single album ‘Hate XX’, which is out now.
The new clip is full of references to pop star Olivia Rodrigo, as Choi Yena sings about her love and jealousy for the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star.
Yena is also credited as a co-composer and lyricist for the track, as revealed in a previously released tracklist. In addition to ‘Hate Rodrigo’, ‘Hate XX’ includes the B-sides ‘Bad Hobby’ and ‘Wicked Love’.
The record will also be Yena’s second release of 2023, arriving five months after her single album ‘Love War’ in January. That release was led by a single of the same name featuring rapper BE’O.
While ‘Hate Rodrigo’ marks Yena and Yuqi’s first official release together, the pair had previously collaborated for a performance at the Gayo Daejejeon music festival on New Year’s Day.
The two singers, along with several other idols born in 1999 – the Year of the Rabbit in the Lunar calendar – performed KARA’s hit single ‘Step’ to ring in the new year. The original track was first released in 2011, the last Year of the Rabbit.
