I always thought she was stunning and I was so surprised to hear from Korean friends that she is not considered beautiful in Korea - doesn't meet their beauty standard - seriously WTF !!! I love that she has a healthy appetite too ! Hwasa will always be beautiful and talented to me !
Yeah, there was at least one real idiot out there who left some dumbass comment somewhere, saying that 'Hwasa thinks she has a good body', but then the idiot complains about how 'she doesn't take care of it'. Like DUDE, SHE'S AN IDOL! THAT MEANS SHE DANCES QUITE OFTEN! WTF are you even talking about, that 'she does not take care of it'? Being a Vocalist REQUIRES her to be in at least 'decent' physical shape! AND she DANCES! She's likely in better shape than the idiot who sent that comment! What a joke some Koreans are! Obviously not all Koreans, don't get me wrong. There are bad apples in every basket. The United States has our share of those as well... In every nation on every continent, there are monsters that dress up to look like Humans, who don't deserve the chance to get on the internet. If all they can do is spread negativity by torching people, UN-FFFF them. Dump the trolls back under their busted ass bridge, they can stay there and rot.
Queen Hwasa really is a STUNNER, you are 100% correct! Those who body shame others need to be shamed themselves (no matter who they are and no matter who they are trying to shame). They need to go back to school and not be allowed to graduate until they can learn to play well with others. They need reminded of the meaning of the word 'civilization' so they get the idea that their stupid negativity is not cool and is actually more than just 'unhelpful'. Trolling is not 'the cool thing' to do and neither is bullying.
Agreed with u... she's so stunning that im so in love with her with or without make up.. and I hate those korean beauty standard and some minority in this world that put some standard in someone beauty.
Here's some of the backstory to Maria. We look at Ahn Hyejin and see a beautiful, charismatic, ridiculously talented woman, someone who's got it all and shines brightly, which is what her stage name Hwasa means. In real life when she tried to sign with kpop agencies she was rejected at auditions and bluntly told she was fat and ugly. Fortunately RBW co-CEO Kim Dohoon had the novel idea of assembling and promoting a girl group based on their talent as singers and performers rather than the usual formula of choosing girls based primarily on how their looks fit a pre-conceived marketing concept such as cute, innocent, sexy or girl crush. KDH plucked the members of Mamamoo from the pile of audition rejects and retreads from other companies and gambled on their vocal talent and creativity despite warnings from industry insiders that Mamamoo would fail miserably. When Mamamoo debuted petitions were circulated to have Hwasa removed from the group because people said she didn't fit kpop beauty and body standards. Controversies repeatedly erupted over her choice of sexy stage outfits and even what she wore when going to the airport. Mamamoo has always been one of kpop's biggest shit magnets because they've never fit into the prevailing standards regarding beauty, fashion, gender, sexuality, or proper behavior by polite female idols in general. They're strong, powerful women who stand up for themselves and their beliefs but they've never cultivated a bad girl image and instead their music often carries messages of self-love, empowerment, and acceptance of others for their uniqueness and individuality. Maria was the name Hwasa chose when she was baptized as a Catholic and as the comment stated Maria is a song she wrote to comfort herself. It's the title track on her Maria EP, which ends with a bookend song called LMM (Lost My Mind) that also deals with the irrational and unjustified hate she receives just for being herself. Both songs are deeply personal and they were two of the most powerful and impactful kpop songs of 2020. Maria, LMM and Mamamoo's song Hip (which was co-written by Hwasa) are three of most prominent kpop songs addressing internet bullying and malicious sm comments. As the saying goes, in these songs they're attempting to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Btw, LMM is a gorgeous ballad with an equally gorgeous cinematic MV and I highly recommend it. LMM was my personal pick for 2020 song of the year.
When I first stumbled across Mamamoo, I was IMMEDIATELY DRAWN TO HWASA, and I don't know much of the group but I do know some of the controversy surrounding them and when I heard HWASA was not considered the goddess she is, I was APPALLED 😱 It's nice to see where they are now and I love to see how this song was a letter to herself ❤
@@HyperactiveSloth79 they should combine their names together 😆 lol, their company needs to hurry up and make more songs it doesn’t matter as a group/solo because it’s taking forever
We all think she's beautiful and sexy BUT can you believe Entertainment companies rejected her over and over saying her looks and skin tone were not to Korean beauty standards. She has confidently said that she told herself that if she wasn't up to Korean beauty standards, she was going to make her own standards. *MARIA* comes from that statement.
Maria is so catchy but more importantly it’s such a great self love anthem !! Hwasa is actually one of the most hated kpop idols ever and is critiqued for everything she does (eg not wearing a bra to the airport), and has always been told she’d never succeed because she’s too ugly. The kpop industry is v toxic but I think hwasa is definitely one of the idols that get treated worse and she says it got so bad she contemplated suicide, which is why there’s a scene where she’s playing with scissors. This is such an important song for anyone suffering from toxic beauty standards, but especially for Koreans which has arguably the most toxic beauty standards ever.
Thank you for loving HWASA. She deserves it. And please please don't ignore the last shot of the MV, all MAMAMOO's members show their love and support to HWASA. That's the reason why I love MAMAMOO so much.
MARIA is a masterpiece I fell in love with the song more when I understand the roots and deeper meaning of the lyrics. Do you ever listen to a song a kinda wish you wrote it yourself because you can relate to it to so much like it's made for you. It's MARIA for me. ❤️
How she is challenging Korean beauty standards and kicking them in the face is my favorite thing. Queen Hwasa always. She showed them what real adult sexy is and owned it.
She does look like a total boss. She's actually a very sweet, tender, playful personality. She totally is the groups maknae. Her story is one of the most interesting too. They all got rejections. But she was booted out of auditions. And I do agree, she is breathtakingly, stunningly beautiful. But not to classically Korean standards. I think she had a thing or two to say about that after she gained some fame. BTW, her vocals are also out of this world!!!
If you like Maria, my favorite is Hwasa and Loco's Don't from The Hyena on the Keyboard. When they performed it live together the interactions between the two are so cute.
She has a amazing career as a Korean female solo artist. List of awards and nominations received by Hwasa APAN Music Awards Asian Pop Music Awards Gaon Chart Music Awards Golden Disc Awards KBS Entertainment Awards Korea Broadcasting Awards Korea First Brand Awards MBC Entertainment Awards Melon Music Awards Mnet Asian Music Awards Soribada Best K-Music Awards The Fact Music Awards
This is probably my favorite of Hwasa’s solo songs. 😻 The music, the message, the dancing is all fantastic. 🔥🎶💃 Plus, my first name is Maria, too, so I can pretend she sings it for me as well as herself. 🥰😜
Hwasa is my bias and also I am an army. I am a fan and fan of Mamamoo and I am proud that Hwasa is my bias and also she is the queen of the maknae of the band and has a strong presence that distinguishes it. Thank you for making a review on it and I hope for more ❤
The queen out here collecting peeps like crazy. For all the shytza she puts up with she is out here killin' it! Yeah the standards over there are really crazy and the idols have so much crap to put up with it's sad. Love this woman!
"Maria" is such a powerful song, especially as a message for herself. She's been bashed and battered by haters constantly since her debut most notably for being curvy (knetz seem to think women should be 40 pounds) and for daring to dress like she does. She's not even the only one in her group who is attacked for wearing what she wants, either. In Hwasa's song "LMM" you can see her expression of people attacking her, but at the end of the day it's not them that matters. What matters is that she loves herself and has the affection of her friends, family, and fans. Hwasa is such a strong woman and an inspiration. That's why she's been my bias for 7 years now. I very HIGHLY recommend her two songs "LMM" and "Be Calm". They are slower paced than "Maria" but showcase her as she is - as Ahn Hyejin who is beautiful and shining.
Hwasa is not only talented in her craft , she is adorable , sexy and she has such beautiful and funny personality, a lot of her peers admire her for being a strong women because she is constantly being bashed , I’m glad she loves herself and the negativity from mean ugly people should be thrown in the trash where they belong, there I said it fighting ✊Hwasa🤗❤️
Hwasa has shown other women how to be strong no matter all the negativity and criticism she has received, on her talent she is a women that believes in herself and being naturally sexy is how she was born as ❤so glad she didn’t crush by these toxic critics , you go you strong and talented Hwasa✊🫶
I am a BTS Army. I recently found Hwasa/Mamamoo and Bibi. They are amazingly talented women and so refreshing from the normal kpop girls most of us know. Like Bangtan, they are not afraid to speak their mind and unpretentious too. I hope they get to collaborate or feature when the boys are all finished with the enlistment.
mamamoo has such a respect and love for BTS, that they said one reasons they never cover BTS full song is because they had so much respect for them and didn't want to disrespect it.... Mamamoo like the fandom respect and support Bts and their Army. Wish they would do a colab someday....its been 9 years sigh
Oh god no. BTS Army is the most toxic fandom in the world. Army will destroy her if she does anything with a member of BTS. Leave her alone. She’s been through enough.
@@powbobs you're the one reeking of toxicity here lmao. We recognize great artists and wishes for them to collab because of the masterpiece they can bring together. Look at you with all your negative vibe, you're just like those "toxic" Army you claim.
Criticada pela cor da pele, por ser sexy, por ser fora do padrão coreano, por ter o corpo parecido com as das brasileiras, chamada de gorda e muito mais. Mas não abaixa a cabeça, essa é a rainha Hwasa. Puro talento.
You REALLY need to check out some of her other songs. Both LMM and I'm a B are both incredibly beautiful songs and amazingly made videos. Both works of art and i think they would be your style.
This song hit more since she doesnt follow the korean portrayal norm. Shes on the curvier side of koreans standard beauty and she loves the more western beauty and loves food. She had alot of haters so this is a clap back to love u as u are.
Yes our Queen..Im ARMY but also a proud MooMoo..You should definitely check out some of the songs you saw on Killing voice like Windflower, Starry Night, Aya, Egotistic..Also some of Hwasa's solos like LMM, Twit, Im a b*tch..Shes similar to Namjoon in being hyper intelligent and having lots of wordplay in her lyrics..There is a DKDTV explanation for this Maria that you watched as well as Im a b*tch, i highly recommend it..Also her collabs w Loco are spectacular Dont, Somebody and Lemon..And yes my #1 girl crush of all time..I would straight up leave my husband for her if i had the chance😂❤💜
Please react to "BE CALM" by HWASA. This song was composed as a tribute to her uncle who took care of her in her early trainee years. His uncle died in a car accident.
for me shes like the marilyn monroe of kpop. She doesn't try to be sexy, she just is. If you see her you automatically know who she is, no matter if you stan her group or not. She iconic and will forever be.
When Hwasa first auditioned she was told that was "too fat abd not pretty" so she should give up trying to be a start and choose s different career. She went home and cried her eyes out, but felt compelled to comfort herself by watching recordings of her favorite artists (including Beyonce and Rihanna). At first it made her even day knowing she could never do what they do, but she kept watching anyway. At some point she stood up, left the tears and the judgement behind and made a promise to herself and the world: "WHEN I become a star, if i don't fit the current beauty standards then i will become a new standard." --Queen Hwasa
Когда все костылявые и поют типа милые песни Хваса все переворачивает…..! Такая королева просто да у него не тонкая талия да она не с костяными ногами но она просто …..даже слова королева не опишет его ❤️🔥
In the ENTIRE history of the world,.. there is only one Hwasa. No other human has ever looked this seductive. The only one who comes close is Raquel Welch, early 60s. Her live stage presence is beyond comparison. Unique among Korean performers, she often flaunts her body in tight and revealing outfits. This is because she was told point blank that she was too fat and ugly to ever perform on stage. What do you think of her now sly??
Hahahhaha I am laughing with yoyr reactions. Please deep dive into Hwasa and Mamamoo now. They are badass queens. Maria Twit I'm a B LMM Be calm Bless U
Since it has been mentioned several times about how 'ugly' Hwasa is and all of the other criticisms about how she looks. My favorite quote is how she said that if she does not meet the Korean beauty standards, she'll make her own. And she did.
@@ThisRoscoe You're welcome. Hwasa is amazing on many levels. Vocally, visually, and personality, she's got it all. All of them are amazing, but Hwasa just is the complete package, IMHO.
The song and the visuals are insane but Maria has such a deep meaning is almost a crime don't analyze the lyrics and the mv. Hwasa said Maria is the crystallized tears and sweat that she shed. The MV starts with a crime scene, Hwasa is dead and people are still trying to take some shots of her. A red hair Maria (an alter ego after Hwasa baptismal name) is watching the scene careless. Hwasa funeral, only empty chairs with invitation on it and with its back turned, nobody cares like she says in the lyrics. Here an homage to the most beautiful and powerful scene in Malena movie, with all those men offering their lighter to her. Malena is the most beautiful woman of a SMALL village (it can be a comparison to South Korea restricted mentality), because of her looks and her solitary state, she is an object of lust for all the town's men and of hatred for its women…after many vicissitudes and a very hard time she understood that her beauty is her salvation. So she cuts her black hair and dyes by red her hair, changing her attitude as well. We can clearly see a difference among Hwasa and Maria, both in outfits and attitude. In the table scene we can see a bloodstained Maria with rubber boots and a pretty simple outfit at a table with people all dressed up, they're keyboard warriors. Again lyrics "You all worked hard hating. If you knock me down. Does that feed you?" She's serving them with all sort of things. The table is full with jewels, trove of tapes, mics, cds, diamonds…but they're just looking at those picky. Maria with a bored face is watching them and then she starts happily eating a brain. The difference among Maria and those people is so strong and impactful. I've also read that eat someone's brain means pester someone. The triangular tub is also interesting, she's bathing in milk and rose petals like a Queen and her skin is so white, but once again she looks bored and then she starts to make 'no' gesture with her finger with a smirking face. Like 'I don't need to be pale, I'm beautiful like this'… probably a references to all hateful comments she gets about her bronze skin since ages. We're back to Hwasa, she's trapped like in a mental hospital with a straitjacket, all her body is constrained by laces…this once again can be interpreted as the restricted South Korea mentality. They're monitoring her, pencils (comments) are pointed at her and she is trying to escape from this kind of net (network) until she finds a crown with diamonds and nails (representing the double faces of success). Ink-stained hands Hwasa decides to wear the crown, She got ink on her hands while fighting malicious comments, in fact we can see her beating her fists on the ground and shouting. The triangular tub is back but this time we can see Maria and Hwasa looking at each other through a bloody water. A triangle is a figure linked to different trinities like mind, body & spirit; past, present & future; thought, feeling & emotion and creation, preservation and destruction. And, personally, all those fit this MV perfectly. And now we discover Hwasa was not dead at all. Like it was all a dream, in fact she's on a coach with scissor in her hands, she is alone with her thoughts when suddenly Mamamoo members appear with big smiles. She said many times Mamamoo are her strength and she was able to face difficulties since trainee period only because they were together. The whole lyrics are beautiful and powerful but sad at the same time. She said this is an exciting yet sad song, she likes those kind of songs because they resemble life. With this album Hwasa became the FIRST Korean female solo artist to reach #1 on iTunes US Album chart and ranked 1st on the WORLDWIDE album chart as well. She co-wrote and co-composed 4 songs out of 6 of this album…an amazing album with powerful collaborations, a Queen like always.
Although Hwasa is not my favourite Mamamoo lady, in my view, she has the best solo songs. Glad you grasped the meaning of the song. I can't remember which film is referred to with the many lighters being offered to light the cigarette. It could be Malena but that seems to recent of a movie. You or someone may know?
I always thought she was stunning and I was so surprised to hear from Korean friends that she is not considered beautiful in Korea - doesn't meet their beauty standard - seriously WTF !!! I love that she has a healthy appetite too ! Hwasa will always be beautiful and talented to me !
Yeah, there was at least one real idiot out there who left some dumbass comment somewhere, saying that 'Hwasa thinks she has a good body', but then the idiot complains about how 'she doesn't take care of it'.
Like DUDE, SHE'S AN IDOL! THAT MEANS SHE DANCES QUITE OFTEN! WTF are you even talking about, that 'she does not take care of it'? Being a Vocalist REQUIRES her to be in at least 'decent' physical shape! AND she DANCES! She's likely in better shape than the idiot who sent that comment! What a joke some Koreans are!
Obviously not all Koreans, don't get me wrong. There are bad apples in every basket. The United States has our share of those as well...
In every nation on every continent, there are monsters that dress up to look like Humans, who don't deserve the chance to get on the internet. If all they can do is spread negativity by torching people, UN-FFFF them. Dump the trolls back under their busted ass bridge, they can stay there and rot.
Queen Hwasa really is a STUNNER, you are 100% correct!
Those who body shame others need to be shamed themselves (no matter who they are and no matter who they are trying to shame). They need to go back to school and not be allowed to graduate until they can learn to play well with others. They need reminded of the meaning of the word 'civilization' so they get the idea that their stupid negativity is not cool and is actually more than just 'unhelpful'. Trolling is not 'the cool thing' to do and neither is bullying.
Koreans are pretty messed up and super shallow.
Agreed with u... she's so stunning that im so in love with her with or without make up.. and I hate those korean beauty standard and some minority in this world that put some standard in someone beauty.
Their beauty standards are whack 😅 HWASA is one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen

Hwasa makes me question my own sexuality. 💜
Please react to "BE CALM" by HWASA.
This song was composed as a tribute to her uncle who took care of her in her early trainee years. His uncle died in a car accident.

When Hwasa first auditioned she was told that was "too fat abd not pretty" so she should give up trying to be a start and choose s different career.
She went home and cried her eyes out, but felt compelled to comfort herself by watching recordings of her favorite artists (including Beyonce and Rihanna). At first it made her even day knowing she could never do what they do, but she kept watching anyway.
At some point she stood up, left the tears and the judgement behind and made a promise to herself and the world:
"WHEN I become a star, if i don't fit the current beauty standards then i will become a new standard." --Queen Hwasa
Hwasa has a cover for Walk on by that is very good
Когда все костылявые и поют типа милые песни Хваса все переворачивает…..! Такая королева просто да у него не тонкая талия да она не с костяными ногами но она просто …..даже слова королева не опишет его ❤️🔥
During the practise Hwasa damaged her spine, she was in pain during the shooting of this video.
All is good as long as you take what you got back home... capice.
Be calm - hwasa plis 😔🙏
with till you see her ad prints for fashion houses
In the ENTIRE history of the world,.. there is only one Hwasa. No other human has ever looked this seductive. The only one who comes close is Raquel Welch, early 60s. Her live stage presence is beyond comparison. Unique among Korean performers, she often flaunts her body in tight and revealing outfits. This is because she was told point blank that she was too fat and ugly to ever perform on stage. What do you think of her now sly??
When I first heard this..”Maria ..Maria..”
and that next line I thought “Need a thermometer.” It’s not but it’d fit I think 👀
Steady Roscoe 😂😂🔥
Lmm next, but it’s a ballad tho
wait till you get to know her other side///cute, innocent funny kind ahn heyjin
React to Hwasa and loco Don't (Above live) you won't regret it
💜💜
Hahahhaha I am laughing with yoyr reactions.
Please deep dive into Hwasa and Mamamoo now. They are badass queens.

I'm a B

Be calm
Bless U
Since it has been mentioned several times about how 'ugly' Hwasa is and all of the other criticisms about how she looks. My favorite quote is how she said that if she does not meet the Korean beauty standards, she'll make her own.
And she did.
Omg I LOVE that! Ty for sharing that!
@@ThisRoscoe You're welcome. Hwasa is amazing on many levels. Vocally, visually, and personality, she's got it all. All of them are amazing, but Hwasa just is the complete package, IMHO.
YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THE ACOUSTIC VERSION!!!!!
The song and the visuals are insane but Maria has such a deep meaning is almost a crime don't analyze the lyrics and the mv.
Hwasa said Maria is the crystallized tears and sweat that she shed.
The MV starts with a crime scene, Hwasa is dead and people are still trying to take some shots of her. A red hair Maria (an alter ego after Hwasa baptismal name) is watching the scene careless. Hwasa funeral, only empty chairs with invitation on it and with its back turned, nobody cares like she says in the lyrics.
Here an homage to the most beautiful and powerful scene in Malena movie, with all those men offering their lighter to her. Malena is the most beautiful woman of a SMALL village (it can be a comparison to South Korea restricted mentality), because of her looks and her solitary state, she is an object of lust for all the town's men and of hatred for its women…after many vicissitudes and a very hard time she understood that her beauty is her salvation. So she cuts her black hair and dyes by red her hair, changing her attitude as well. We can clearly see a difference among Hwasa and Maria, both in outfits and attitude.
In the table scene we can see a bloodstained Maria with rubber boots and a pretty simple outfit at a table with people all dressed up, they're keyboard warriors.
Again lyrics "You all worked hard hating. If you knock me down. Does that feed you?" She's serving them with all sort of things. The table is full with jewels, trove of tapes, mics, cds, diamonds…but they're just looking at those picky. Maria with a bored face is watching them and then she starts happily eating a brain. The difference among Maria and those people is so strong and impactful. I've also read that eat someone's brain means pester someone.
The triangular tub is also interesting, she's bathing in milk and rose petals like a Queen and her skin is so white, but once again she looks bored and then she starts to make 'no' gesture with her finger with a smirking face. Like 'I don't need to be pale, I'm beautiful like this'… probably a references to all hateful comments she gets about her bronze skin since ages.
We're back to Hwasa, she's trapped like in a mental hospital with a straitjacket, all her body is constrained by laces…this once again can be interpreted as the restricted South Korea mentality. They're monitoring her, pencils (comments) are pointed at her and she is trying to escape from this kind of net (network) until she finds a crown with diamonds and nails (representing the double faces of success). Ink-stained hands Hwasa decides to wear the crown, She got ink on her hands while fighting malicious comments, in fact we can see her beating her fists on the ground and shouting.
The triangular tub is back but this time we can see Maria and Hwasa looking at each other through a bloody water. A triangle is a figure linked to different trinities like mind, body & spirit; past, present & future; thought, feeling & emotion and creation, preservation and destruction. And, personally, all those fit this MV perfectly.
And now we discover Hwasa was not dead at all. Like it was all a dream, in fact she's on a coach with scissor in her hands, she is alone with her thoughts when suddenly Mamamoo members appear with big smiles. She said many times Mamamoo are her strength and she was able to face difficulties since trainee period only because they were together.
The whole lyrics are beautiful and powerful but sad at the same time. She said this is an exciting yet sad song, she likes those kind of songs because they resemble life.
With this album Hwasa became the FIRST Korean female solo artist to reach #1 on iTunes US Album chart and ranked 1st on the WORLDWIDE album chart as well. She co-wrote and co-composed 4 songs out of 6 of this album…an amazing album with powerful collaborations, a Queen like always.
Although Hwasa is not my favourite Mamamoo lady, in my view, she has the best solo songs.
Glad you grasped the meaning of the song.
I can't remember which film is referred to with the many lighters being offered to light the cigarette. It could be Malena but that seems to recent of a movie. You or someone may know?
As per joonie_235, Hwasa really out here collecting men like pokemon.
Just dropping in, did anyone tell him about Hwasa's red latex outfit performance? Are we not? Im just checking, i mean its ok if were not. ; )
I’m sorry WUTTTTTTT
