140630 Hyomin makes her solo debut with 15+ MV and 19+ dance version MV for “Nice Body” + making film

On Sunday, June 29th (June 30th, KST), Hyomin finally made her solo debut with two MVs for her title track “Nice Body” featuring LOCO.

The 15+ MV contains individual shots of both artists, as well as the transformation and brand new life Hyomin undergoes in her dream after a golden doughnut rolls her way. Meanwhile, the 19+ MV is just a dance version for now, highlighting the sexy and flirty choreography.

Having been uploaded via Facebook and ktmusic’s Official YouTube channel, title track “Nice Body” is said to have been a compilation of both Hyomin’s and Brave Brothers’ compositions. Incorporating T-ara’s familiar groovy, pop disco sound, the slower tempo adds a touch of hip-hop to the upbeat song. In addition, rapper LOCO’s contribution to the song has added extra color to the song and music video.

The following two tracks in her mini-album “Make Up” were composed by Hyomin herself.

“Fake” is a feminine, softer track that includes more of Hyomin’s vocals, as well as another rapper’s low voice that mixes well. On the other hand, “Overcome” involves more of Hyomin’s rap lines reminiscent of T-ara’s debut song “Lies.” Yet, a range of low and high vocals and a sad, subtly bold beat make this song an attractive listen as well.

Moreover, one of T-ara’s bigger international fansites – T-ara World Fansite – has uploaded a making film of Hyomin’s MV via Twitter. Showing concise scenes of Hyomin applying makeup and playing various roles throughout the music video are shown, though it may come as a surprise to some that Hyomin had also played the initial character in the beginning who was seen eating donuts. With some face sculpting mask, makeup, and puffy clothes, she has gone far in order to truly express the concept of a physical transformation.

In the music video, Hyomin shows confidence and satisfaction with her brand new body that she has in her dream. Upon finally waking up, her brief sorrow turns into renewed dedication as she exercises during the MV’s close. With summer already wrapping up its first month, perhaps Hyomin is encouraging those who wish to exercise to take a step closer to their desired body during beach season.
