The reps continued, "They've been dating for a month now and are in the process of getting to know each other."

- Kim Hye Soo in an 80s Look for "Grazia" Kim Hye Soo's beauty is certainly timeless! The ever-so-beautiful Kim Hye Soo went back in time to become a beautiful 80s starlet. She appeared in the fashion magazine "Grazia." It is interesting that she was asked to appear in a photoshoot with an 80s concept because she actually debuted in 1986.
Kim Hye Soo fits right into the 80s look with her makeup, hair, and clothing. For the magazine she was also asked about her personal likes and styles when picking clothes. She stated, "When I pick clothes, more than trends I think that your belief is the most important. Instead of trying to put some kind of equation or philosophy behind fashion, I think it is most important to choose clothes that look natural on you. Usually I like clothes that have a feminine flair and make you slightly nervous."
The issue of "Grazia" where Kim Hye Soo makes an appearance began selling on February 20.

However, the media published a few articles that stated "You Got Some Nerve" was publicized falsely and that it's initial 19+ rating was just a part of noise marketing.
Previously, articles were published where a Brave Entertainment source was quoted, "The lyrics were written by the artists themselves. Just like the hip-hop musicians that they are, they did not hold back on the lyrics. Since this shows their passion as musicians, we will be releasing the song as it is."
Therefore, criticisms started to arise because when the track was actually released, the rating was suddenly switched from 19+ to 15+ and all of the explicit words in the lyrics were bleeped out. Thus, many have accused this to be a noise marketing tactic by Brave Entertainment.
But Brave Entertainment denied these accusations and stated, "A few articles were published, saying that 'You Got Some Nerve' never received a 19+ rating in the first place but was publicized as if it was. But this is wrong. The track did receive a 'not fit for broadcast' label from SBS."
Brave Entertainment commented, "We decided to bleep out the swear words. We got a lot of requests from fans who are still minors to lower the rating of the track so we decided to switch the ratings in the last minute."
The agency also said, "Because we switched the age rating so suddenly, it was mistaken to be noise marketing. Honestly, we don't know whether to laugh or cry. We still wish that the original song [without the words being bleeped out] would have been released but we are looking at this decision positively because it means more people can listen to it."
Despite these noise marketing accusations, "You Got Some Nerve" climbed to the top of the music charts on the day of its release. Brave Brother's other hit song "Gone Not Around Any Longer" is currently battling "You Got Some Nerve" in many of these music charts.
"You Got Some Nerve" is a track about a couple who is in a fight and is expressing their feelings in a direct and straightforward way.
