Viva Artists Agency, Viva Records, Open Door Artists, and South Korea’s MZ Entertainment have joined forces to bring Minzy’s brand of Korean pop to the country. Minzy’s exciting entry into Philippine entertainment kicks off with the local version of her single “Lovely,” which sees the K-pop star giving her song a distinct local Pinoy flavor.
Talking about her entry to the local scene, the K-pop star said she wanted to create more songs similar to the music of Sarah Geronimo referring to the massive hit “Tala” as the kind of sound that she wanted her Filipino fans to hear from her.
“It’s a big hit and I’d like to make more songs like that for my Filipino fans. And if given a chance, I would want to collaborate with Sarah G and Ella Cruz, who they told me a big fans of 2NE1,” Minzy told Manila Standard Entertainment in a virtual interview held last week.
A multi-platinum South Korean artist and a global K-pop sensation, Minzy’s career started with the popular group 2NE1, a world-renown all-girl group that that also has a strong following here in the Philippines.
Her eventual solo career that started with “Uno” in 2017 netted her a Billboard World Albums chart nod and peaked at the number 2 spot. This is quite the achievement, seeing as it laid further groundwork for K-Pop’s dominance in the world of pop that is still felt today.
An electrifying performer, Minzy is considered as one of the best in K-Pop and rightly deserves the title “Queen Of Dance.” Fans of Minzy have also dubbed her a ‘dancing machine’ for her exceptional dance skills and fiery stage presence. And completing the package, Minzy is a vocal powerhouse as well. Deservedly earning the spotlight in 2NE1 as the main singer and rapper in that group. Something that she’s developed further as a solo performer.
After breaking away from 2NE1 in 2016, Minzy had her single “Ninano” from her debut EP which placed at the US Billboard World Charts and there was no looking back after that.
“Lovely,” the Tagalog version, was released on digital streaming platforms on Nov. 20.
