Promotion and controversy
Hyuna promoted the title track "Bubble Pop!" on music shows in July 2011. The EP's introduction song "Attention" was also used in the performances.

In August, Cube Entertainment halted promotions because the title track's video, choreography and on-stage costumes were deemed by the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) to be "too sexually suggestive". Cube Entertainment decided to promote the follow-up single, "Just Follow", featuring the rapper Dok2. Hyuna's performance on the Inkigayo music show featured the rapper Zico from the boy band Block B instead, and with lyrics that he re-wrote.
