Hwa Sa, who debuted as part of the group MAMAMOO in June 2014, has been active with group title tracks such as "Mr. Ambiguous," "Piano Man," "Um Oh Ah Yeh," "You're the Best," "Décalcomanie," "Yes I Am," "Starry Night," "Gogobebe," "HIP," "ILLELLA," and more. While MAMAMOO established themselves as a national vocal group, Hwa Sa stood out as a solo artist with her debut solo track, "TWIT," in February 2019.
Having achieved great success with "TWIT," Hwasa continued to dominate the charts with solo title tracks like "Maria," "I'm a B," and "I Love My Body." Now established as a unique icon, Hwa Sa consistently raises anticipation for her next album.
In a recent interview with Star News, Hwasa shared her thoughts on reaching her 10th debut anniversary and reflected on her journey as a solo artist.
- As a female solo artist, your image used to focus heavily on 'sexy,' but it seems like your spectrum has expanded a lot over the past few years. Especially, in each title track, you use unique themes. As you venture fearlessly into various genres and challenges, what is the driving force behind your activities, and what do you consider most important?
Hwa Sa ▶ "I think the most important thing to me is 'thinking'. As I continuously think and contemplate, there are always question marks and exclamation points entangled in my mind. It can be burdensome at times, but I consider it my destiny as someone in this profession."
- The Korean Lunar New Year, Seollal, is approaching. How do you usually spend Seollal? What are your plans for this year?
Hwa Sa ▶ "I usually take a trip to fully relax. I think it's a very important time."
- As you welcome the new year, do you have any wishes or goals for the coming year?
Hwa Sa ▶ "Above all, health is my top priority. I want to quickly share more songs with MooMoos (MAMAMOO fan club) and all those who wait for me, and I want to show more performances. I plan to spend this year very busy."
- I'm curious about any special activities you are preparing for your 10th debut anniversary or your plans for this year.
Hwa Sa ▶ "I'm pouring everything into preparing the album. And I want to meet more fans. My heart is fluttering, and I hope you all have high expectations for this year too."
Fans who read the Q&A hope for a potential solo tour as Hwa Sa revealed she wants to show more performances and be very busy this year.
