Hwasa (MAMAMOO) shared her s.hock because of B.ody shaming, thinking about d.eath

As confident and tough as the female idol group MAMAMOO, she still can't stand the pressure from anti-fans.

On March 25, streaming platform Wavve released the documentary MMM_Where Are We Now with the main character being 4 MAMAMOO members. This is a product that records the 7-year career journey of the RBW g.irl group, starting from 2014.

In a segment when CEO Kim Do Hoon of RBW made a comment about the youngest member Hwasa, he said, "Hwasa's appearance used to be quite chubby. Many people are interested in that and think that she has potential. But others think Hwasa will fail. Honestly, society tends to be more strict with women, and everyone has their own beauty standards."

Disparaging comments from netizens have affected Hwasa's psyche a lot. The female idol immediately confessed that she had a difficult time when she was the target of negative comments, "I feel so unhappy. I even thought that it would all be over, just as long as I could. I'm dead I'm a singer I'm not the type of person who wants to do anything other than sing, like singing and doing business at the same time I just want to communicate with fans through music That's all for me, is my ego. But at that time I was so miserable that I wanted to give it all up."

Hwasa's sincere confession made fans extremely pitiful. On stage, she always brings a confident and positive image. The bold leopard print dresses and the casual wear-and-tears have become Hwasa's trademarks, helping the youngest member of MAMAMOO to be honored by the audience as "the sexiest female idol in Kpop".

But, in the end, she was still rejected because she was "fat and ugly".

When looking at the image of such a brave Hwasa, no one expected that she would secretly hide her tears inwardly and had such difficulty that she thought about s.uicide.

It can be seen that cyber-violence is gradually becoming a serious problem and needs to be tackled more strongly than ever.
