Hyewon’s pre-debut audition footage was first uploaded on portal site Nate on November 11th, and managed to attract 260,000 views and 2,000 comments. Shortly after the video spread, it dominated headlines on various other portal sites with titles like, “Vocal Controversy” and “Can You Hear Me.”
The video starts off with Hyewon introducing herself, and goes on to her singing Taeyeon’s “Can You Hear Me.”
Netizens showed a cold response to the video, expressing their disappointment and that “Enough was enough.”
A representative of Co-Ed’s agency stated, “Yes, we confirm that video to be Hyewon’s audition video at a vocal school. It’s amazing the lengths people will go to make singers look bad, especially since the video is obviously comparing her past skills to her current skills.”

A representative of Core Contents Media revealed on November 15th that Hyo Young fell down the stairs of their rehearsal room on the 14th and broke her ankle. She was rushed to the hospital and received surgery on the morning of the 15th.
The representative stated, “She received surgery this morning, but will need at least two more surgeries. Doctors have expressed that she broke more than one area as it was a complex fracture. At least eight weeks will be needed for complete treatment.”
Core Contents Media has stated that they are currently discussing changes to the “Jungle Fish 2” script, as Hyo Young is playing the role of T-ara Jiyeon’s rival in the drama. “Co-Ed’s future activities will also have to be re-planned.”
It’s really unfortunate timing for the girl, as her career has just started lifting off the ground.
Get well soon!
