The Prettiest, Nona hwasa ??!?

Unafraid of showing her sensual side  hwasa is almost an embodiment of a Goddess. It’s difficult to find a popular actress with an hourglass figure. However, Hwasa challenges this every single day just by existing. Her curves are appreciated and loved across the world! Her fashion style and body figure fits more of a Western pop category, as Korean pop has always been fixated on slim bodies, from top to toe. She has had her share (still has) of wrath from other K-Pop stans who body shame her. But do you know what we love? A Queen who isn’t afraid of showing off her beautiful curves! She received a wrath of hate comments and controversies regarding her tight, body-shaping red leather suit in the 2018 MAMA performance in Japan. Some called it too bold, others, too revealing - in my opinion, it was great.

One of the major reasons that help Hwasa achieve this incredible level of popularity, I believe, is her refusing to fit into the K-Pop female idol box. Obsession with fair/pale skin, weight under 50kg, slim figure, small face - Hwasa is the living embodiment of crushing every standard of Korean beauty and coming out still standing viciously strong. She takes pride in her tan skin and flaunts it gloriously.

There aren’t enough words to describe her presence. If K-Pop fans know BTS’ Taehyung as the best male idol with incredible expressions, in the female category, it’s Hwasa. Never slipping, she’s as fierce as a tiger or when needed, as sexy as Marilyn Monroe. Her powerful stage presence makes each performance worth it. Especially her live performance of Maria - bathed in sensual dance moves. The whole song is an upbeat synth pop which intensifies the feelings in the chorus - it’s basically a love letter from Hwasa to herself; ‘Maria’ is her Christian name.

Ahn Hye-jin, known professionally by her stage name Hwasa, is a South Korean singer, songwriter, fashion model and rapper currently signed to RBW. She debuted as a member of the girl group Mamamoo in 2014. She made her debut as a solo artist in February 2019, with the digital single "Twit".
