K-pop singer Yena's cheeky attempt to express her reverence for Olivia Rodrigo seems to have fallen flat, with the music video for her new song, Hate Rodrigo, being taken following a series of controversies.

Yena, who goes by Choi Yena in Korea, released her new single last Tuesday, along with a music video. The song was highly anticipated, especially as it features the collaboration of Yena and her best friend Yuqi from the girl group (G)I-DLE.
