Navi Refuses 1 Uhk Won Sexy Pictorial Deal

"I don't want to become famous through my looks, I want to become famous through music," said female solo singer Navi.

Navi has flatly refused a 1 uhk won (roughly $90,000 in USD) sexy pictorial deal that had been offered to her, saying that the sexy theme of the pictorial does not match the timbre or image of her music.

A spokesperson for Navi said, "She thought pretty hard about this offer before making a decision. After all, it is very advantageous for a solo female artist to have a sexy image. However, Navi has refused to promote this kind of image for herself until she has a solid reputation as a talented 'vocal singer' who sings well."

As you all may know, Navi has recently released her song "Wasteful Tears," featuring HyunA from 4minute. The concept for this fast-tempo song was "confident woman" - and undoubtedly, she is promoting this concept quite well, to turn down such an offer and also because she has succeeded to attract the attention of many netizens. She's really proved the extent of her vocal prowess through this song and she's already established herself as a "vocal singer who sings well" for me, so I don't really see why she declined this great offer. Not that I don't respect her own decision, of course. Stay Classy, Navi.

What do you guys think?

Take the money when it’s there, never know when you will not be wanted.

just by turning it down, her reputation is going way up. would’ve been a waste if they hadn’t publicized it right, but they did, so good job, navi’s management agency.

yingmoon's avatar

daaaamn. i like that about her, very independent.

 
C-Bisquit's avatar

Wow, much respect for her!  Methinks she looks a lot like Narsha in that pic xP

Good for her. I’m surprised they only offered her 90,000, though. If they really wanted her, I figure they would’ve offered more.

 
no avatar

But she’s already known for her amazing voice… although kudos to her for rejecting something she didn’t feel matched her. It’s not so much independence as it is pride as a musical artist. Still, it’s a lot of money… ><’

 
tricia07ann's avatar

wow..$90,000..oh well i bet she will had many of that oppurtunties along the way,love her.she’ll really make it no doubt.and i agree with her on her decision..go go go!

 
no avatar

i respect that, esp cuz that’s a ton of money. so far her only real hit was the heart damage song ft crown j so she still has a bit to go. good decision. even when she becomes famous for her music i hope she doesn’t do something sexy cuz it rly doesn’t fit her style of music.

goldenGAZE's avatar

Definitely respect the girl now much more than ever, being a relatively unknown singer and having that much money offered to you…it’s not an easy thing to turn down. Plus in the kpop world theirs soo many dirty little secrets, good to know Navi is in it for the music.

 
SociallyAwkwardPudding's avatar

Yeah! Thats what I’m talking about! Show ‘em what your worth!

 
melovekpop's avatar

but ill probally just take the money and run yeah i got no shame raspberry

 
CryMellow's avatar

$90,000 is a lot of money, but I respect her decision to turn it down. I think Navi is doing the right thing.

 
JennyLump's avatar

$90k is a lot to refuse… hope she doesn’t later regret it. XD

 
Ayuname's avatar

I agree, she has an extremely hot body.

 
그남자's avatar

MaVivienne's avatar

dang! i owuld have taken her offer she was given. but i understand her decision and reason and respect it. that was brave of her and corageous too

 
trashstar's avatar

good for her!

 
Mardi09's avatar

you’re welcome~ no one would have known about this news if i didn’t tip it to allkpop and considering the article came out on the 28th of September.


Anyway, I’m proud of her. Whether it was a good move or not….that doesn’t really matter because she just comes to show that this is what music should be….about the music and not the image….

GO NAVI!!

 
jeongho's avatar

I agree all the way. Navi deserves to be known because of her talent in singing, not selling her body for eye candy like all the idols are seeming to do nowadays.
