Today, SISTAR‘s Hyolyn released her new digital single “Wait” and music video. The song is an Afrobeats track, perfect for the summer.
The MV was filmed in Siquijor and Bohol, Philippines. She earned praise from Filipino fans for showcasing the country’s beauty.
Hyolyn is also known to be naturally tan. Yet, since it’s a summer concept, she got even more tanned.
A fancam on TikTok of Hyolyn dancing to her new song has circulated, and it’s received mixed reactions due to her appearance. Since the video begins showing Hyolyn from the back as she twerked, her face is not visible at first.
Netizens confessed they didn’t recognize her initially and were judging based on skin color. Her tan was so dark that some mistook her for Black women, such as BLACKSWAN‘s Fatou or JAM REPUBLIC‘s Latrice Kabamba.
Realizing it was Hyolyn, netizens were shocked to see how tan she had gotten.
On Instagram, netizens admired Hyolyn’s tan. Many praised her for her natural beauty and for not conforming to the stereotypical Korean beauty standards of being pale.
What do you think of Hyolyn’s comeback?
