Choi Ye Na’s Agency Deny “Hate Rodrigo” MV Was Removed At Olivia Rodrigo’s Request

Yuehua Entertainment has denied receiving any notice or request from Olivia Rodrigo’s side to take down Choi Ye Na’s “Hate Rodrigo” MV.

On June 29, Choi Ye Na’s music video for “Hate Rodrigo”—which had been released just two days prior—was made private on YouTube. After reports that the MV was removed due to a request from Olivia Rodrigo’s side, on June 30, Choi Ye Na’s agency Yuehua Entertainment responded with the following official statement:

Hello, this is Yuehua Entertainment.

We would like to express our stance regarding our artist Choi Ye Na’s second single album title track “Hate Rodrigo” music video.

The music video was made private on June 29 after the company found that some scenes may have caused issues with trademark infringement, violation of portrait rights, and copyright. Currently, the music video is being edited again. We apologize for the sudden confusion without giving prior notice due to recognizing the problem belatedly. We will upload the music video again as soon as the editing is completed.

Additionally, we’d like to clarify that it is not true that the music video was made private at the request of Olivia Rodrigo’s side. We have never received any request regarding that matter and we hope that there will be no more misunderstandings for both artists and fans due to unverified reports. In the future, we’d also like to ask you to refrain from spreading unconfirmed speculations.

Thank you for your interest and love in Choi Ye Na’s latest album. We will humbly accept your feedback and repay you with better music.

Thank you.
