HIYA!!

Ok so this is the last one in our run of K-Pop Female Soloists. We did IU. We did Jeon Somi. And now we're doing Hwasa. Not sure if you've listened to Mamamoo ... but Elaine was a big fan. 

I've only really heard of her song "Maria" because it was a pretty amazing feature in the k-drama "True Beauty" - if you haven't seen this high school CLASSIC, you need to!! Actually this scene made Elaine LAUGH SO HARD. Oh, I miss that girl. 

Hwasa recently signed on with P-Nation (Psy's label) after leaving her agency. And then she released these two amazing tracks. Can we just talk about the anthem I LOVE MY BODY is?? I'm pretty sure we can talk hours around the topic of beauty standards in both Asia and the US. But to come out with a single that's like - hey, I love my body, every bit of it, what's it to you? 

It kind of reminds me of the song that Le Sserafim's Yunjin released "'I ≠ DOLL" - people be talking stuff, especially those who are in front of the public eye like k-pop idols. It's something to love yourself no matter how you look. 

Anyways, Ima step off this soap box for now and save that for the one day we have podcast-y things. But yeah. 

CHILI. Wish I could dance like those SWF2 dancers! 

And I wish I had captions for LMM. Sorry for my fault. I bow my head down again.

Ok bye!!
