After being entangled in dating rumors with a businessman twelve years her senior, Hwa Sa's previous remarks have become a trending topic of discussion.

In an episode of MBC's 'Hangout With Yoo?' that aired in September 2020, 'Refund Sister' members Uhm Jung Hwa, Lee Hyori, Jessi, and Hwa Sa were enjoying a meal together. During the gathering, Lee Hyori casually said, "The topic of men is always necessary for a gathering of women." With Lee Hyori's remark, curiosity sparked, and Jessi inquired about Hwa Sa's preference for men, to which Hwa Sa disclosed, "I like men who are simple."

When asked, "A person like Kim Jong Min?" Hwa Sa replied, "No," and added, "Someone simple and down to earth."

In response to Hwa Sa's statements, Jessi and Lee Hyori playfully speculated about Hwa Sa's romantic life, suggesting that there might be something more going on.

Hwa Sa denied the suspicions, but Uhm Jung Hwa candidly admitted, "I didn't take breaks from dating when I was your age. My relationships typically lasted for about two years." Lee Hyori also chimed in, acknowledging the similarity, "I was the same way. My relationships also followed a two-year cycle."

During the conversation, Hwa Sa garnered attention by sharing, "There are good-looking people nowadays. There are hot people these days." She showed Jessi Italian actor Michele Morrone's social media account, prompting Jessi to tease, "Does he know you?" Hwa Sa responded playfully, "I'll send him a DM first," joking about being in an imaginary relationship with him.

In particular, the girls decided to play a game of truth. And when asked if she had kissed anyone in the past year, Hwa Sa initially answered, "no." However, the lie detector test revealed that her answer was false, causing laughter among the group.

Meanwhile, on June 30, Sports Seoul reported that Hwa Sa has been in a five-year relationship with a businessman twelve years her senior. According to the report, Hwa Sa's partner, Mr. A, was born in 1983 and currently runs a private business. Hwa Sa is said to have actively pursued Mr. A, who was involved in the music industry, five years ago, and their relationship gradually developed into a romantic one.

Regarding this revelation, a representative from Hwa Sa's side stated to Xports News on the same day, "We are currently verifying the facts."
