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 girl group, starting from 2014.

Through each film, viewers can see the most complete and realistic portraits of Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein, and Hwasa, as well as the long road that took the group from the anonymous idol group status to the top star ranks. .

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".

However, this is also the reason why Hwasa has been criticized many times. There are many opinions that the female idol's style of dress has exceeded the sexy threshold and is gradually becoming offensive and annoying to viewers. At the time of her debut, she also received many insults because of her deviant appearance, not as thin and white as her colleagues.

In Korea, to become an idol singer, you have to join an entertainment company, become a trainee, and practice skills such as dancing, singing, rapping, performing, and acting first. crowd, etc. After that, only the best trainees get to debut and introduce to the public.

This is also the case with Hwasa. When she came to Seoul, she applied for registration in many different training institutes. "Extremely difficult," she recalls. Because Hwasa does not have the standard beauty of the Korean artist world: Not tall, not thin, dark skin. During an audition, she impressed the judges with her voice and acting skills. But, in the end, she was still rejected because she was "fat and ugly".

For many years now, the female idol born in 1995 has gradually broken social stereotypes by revealing her true personality, wearing only what she likes and living the way she wants. 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 suicide.

It can be seen that cyber-violence is gradually becoming a serious problem and needs to be tackled more strongly than ever. More and more idols are speaking out about the psychological trauma of facing a toxic working environment. The more popular the idol, the easier it becomes to become the "stress reliever" target of netizens. "Victims" are countless, but how many people dare to openly confess like Hwasa?

Hwasa was born on July 23, 1995, with the original name Ahn Hye Jin. Her name Hye Jin is a very ordinary Korean name, not outstanding, difficult to impress. Therefore, she chose the stage name Hwasa, which in Korean means radiant aura.

"In Korean, Hwasa is an adjective. No one uses Hwasa for a given name. But the CEO of my company approved it without objection," she shared in an interview with TenAsia. This stage name also somewhat predicts Hwasa's path to fame.
