The title song 'Hate Rodrigo' of Choi Ye-na's second single album 'Hate XX', released on the 27th, is a song that expresses cute jealousy towards the object of envy by saying 'I hate all the kids who are better than me'. It is a song with an energetic sound. Yena Choi participated in writing and composing the lyrics herself.
The subject referred to in the title is Olivia Rodrigo, a pop star. In a recent showcase, Choi Ye-na explained, "There are many seniors whom I have admired and admired since childhood. Olivia Rodrigo is also perfect and pretty." I did too.
However, among netizens, a heated debate arose over the title of Choi Yena's new song. It is pointed out that it was excessive to mention Rodrigo's real name and add 'hate', which means 'hate' or 'hate', to the title.
