The song RED by HyunA is a high-energy and confident anthem that celebrates the power of the color red, particularly in the form of red lipstick. The song opens with the repeated phrases “So coolhage deo Hothage, Red lipstick jom deo ppalgahge,” which roughly translates to “cool and hot, put on more red lipstick.” The first verse describes the singer’s desire to wear bright red lipstick, and the way it makes her feel confident and sexy. She compares herself to a bowl of spicy ramen, suggesting that her boldness is like a flavor that is not for everyone.
The chorus repeats the phrase “wonsungi eongdeongineun ppalgae,” translating to “swollen, shining red,” and then declares that “ppalgan geon Hyuna Hyunaneun” or “HyunA is the one who wears red lipstick.” The song further emphasizes the singer’s boldness and individuality, proclaiming that “ppalgan geon Hyuna” or “HyunA is red itself.” The second verse, delivered as a rap, includes more confident assertions about the singer’s dominance on the stage and her power as a performer. The song concludes with a final chorus that repeats the declarations from before.
Overall, the lyrics of RED celebrate the power that the color red and red lipstick in particular can have in giving women confidence and boldness. The song also functions as a declaration of HyunA’s own individuality and power as a performer.

I've learned something throughout my life as a fan of HyunA. Whatever she does, haters will hate. Theres plenty examples too!
If she acts cute (which is basically her normal self) she is fake.
If she acts normal she is cold.
If she dances, people say she can't dance.
If she wears makeup people say she's ugly with makeup on.
If she doesn't wear make up people say she's ugly.
If she gets more scenes than the other members people act like she specifically asked for it.
Like people are never happy. Go ahead and add more.
Also, if a girl group sings live and they sound bad people say "they are tired, or look how hard they are dancing!"
But if HyunA has a solo and she sounds bad its "she can't sing or rap. She sucks and so on."
Anyhow, let's try to get Bubble pop to 100 million, about 20 million more to go so it'll be while.. But itd be great cause wouldn't she be the first kpop SOLOIST girl and boy to get over 100 million.
Of course haters would be like "she doesn't deserve it. Its because of PSY."
