[MV] 화사 (Hwa Sa) - 마리아 (Maria) 

Theory: this song is about self love and overcoming criticism. At the beginning we can see many people offering lighter to light up her cigarette. It can be interpreted as people trying make her feel good only if she does harm to herself. In the scene with the pool being locked up by the police many people are taking pictures but no one shows up to her funeral like she is an object who was subject of criticism and attention when alive but no one remebers her when she's dead although they were the reason for her death. When she sits up on her death bed she tries to portray the feelings of self love to her past self. It's like even her ghost was sad for how she treated herself listening to people who didn't even care about her. Thus she sings "Maria you're already beautiful" . In the mv she offers her organs to people to eat it up. It shows how tired she is from receiving all the hate and backlash from the knetz just for not fitting their standards. The people covering their face with a red cloth are waiting to eat her up just like how those people on internet hate on idols from hiding behind their computers. The pencils attacking her are the reporters and the press. The crown with nails mean her success came with scars too just like the nails on the crown. And at the scene before the ending where she screams "Maria" she's desperate to let herself know that she's beautiful and loved to stop herself from killing herself. If it were not for her being so strong and her bandmates she would have really ended up dead. This song is probably hwasa's most personal song. It's heartbreaking to see how korean netizens treat idols who doesn't fit their standard of beauty. P.s-> this is completely my own opinion and nothing related to any official statement by hwasa or rbw. And yes, most of the knets treated hwasa real badly. Even if you feel offended that's the truth.

Look for this in this video: -Reference to Malena with the lighters -Her "death" that everyone is taking photos yet no one who is invited shows up to her funeral (empty chairs face away from her) -Hwasa serving "herself" on the table (her charms, heart, brain) to people who are unsatisfied. -The milk rose bath (obsession with being lighter in Korea) and her shaking her finger (can't and won't meet that standard). -The masked/anonymous netizens ready to "eat" her up -the criticisms (pencils) that corner her and the waves (her oppression) -the crown of nails (the two sides of stardom) -the scissor she holds on her hand (suicide or self harm thoughts) -the frustration that gives her willpower to get stronger (latin break/looking at Maria in the tub/her standing up from the floor) -Mamamoo members visiting happily at the end (her supports that are with her) Edit: looking forward to the lyrics being added to the video. They combine with the meanings we see in the video. It's truly a masterpiece.

This song never gets old...

"They told me I didn't fit the beauty standards, and so I made my own" -Queen Hwasa beautiful in ever way

Hwasa is now the FIRST female korean soloist, from a female group, to reach #1 on the Worldwide Itunes Album Chart and also the FIRST female korean soloist to have a #1 album on US iTunes Album Chart

In the beginning she is surrounded by press and people taking pictures of her dead body and then it cuts to her funeral. Nobody is attending and all of the chairs are facing away from her showing that the media only cares about headlines and not the actual well being of idols.

I'm really insecure and when people have called me ugly before, I really took it to heart. This song hit me so hard, I think it's so beautiful and just listening to it gives me a huge confidence boost. Hwasa is so talented and gorgeous :)

I teared up when the other three came with smile and flowers, that scene has such a great meaning 😭

Story behind the MV: Maria was found dead in the tub ... everybody came to click pictures of dead Maria and also to write stories about her death. Then in the scene where she's with cigarette depicts how everybody's there interested in misleading her with bad habits just to create more gossips about her. The next scene of her feeding her body organs and stuffs shows how even after her death people don't want to leave her at peace still they are feeding themselves and they're even disgusting on her. They're there to capture news and gossip but no one come to her funeral because they don't really care about her death . This shows they are just blind to see good in Maria and they're even making her feel bad about herself though she was all perfect and beautiful in her own way. There's this scene where she's surrounded with pencils and wire this dipicts the fear in her and how other people are creating her story not herself... she runs to save herself from them but they all are so manipulating and overpowering and Maria is alone so she decided to take the scissors and kill herself. All the thought of her killing herself and how people will react of her being dead was just in Maria's head before she could convert this thought in reality and end up doing suicide, other members comes in her life to save and protect her and change her thoughts about her and life... This was the story of Maria teach us to believe in oneself, how you're queen & beautiful no matter what and how your true friends and loved ones plays important role to bring you back to life.

OHMYGOD THE ENDING. The whole song she was singing about being hated, but Mamamoo comes in the end reminding her that she's loved 😭 😭 😭

Hwasa 'I love my body Hwasa 'I'm a b' Hwasa 'Maria' Hwasa 'Twit' Hwasa has been iconic in every era. I truly feel blessed to have witnessed her growth from each eras. 💚

The unexpected ending of the other members coming in was so unexpected and had me in TEARS fgsdlkjhfdsd. Hwasa can stand along, but she is the strongest when surrounded by other powerful supportive women

María is her baptismal name that she really cherishes, this song is about how he gets the hate comment in daily, she told 'María' the fragile side of her to be more strong, because literally no one could save her from depression or loneliness if it's not herself. She has nobody else but herself but on 3:42 other Mamamoo members came and saved the fragile María, this song is for other 'María' in the world, this song is for people who constantly getting bully or hate or less appreciated, Hwasa told you to keep your chin up and shine because you are stronger than your thought.

During the table scenes she's literally watching people tear her apart bit by bit. Then their faces are covered by masks and they have keyboard keys on their plates. Like the faceless netizens who hide behind their computer screens to hate on her...

This song deserve atleast 100M views....

The best lyrics a girl can relate with so much hatred surrounded with!!!!!

HWASA IS THE FIRST KOREAN FEMALE SOLOIST TO TOP US CHART WITH AN ALBUM.

I feel bad for the people who don’t know hwasa. (and ofc our other 3 queens)

IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS BUT I CAN'T STOP COMING BACK TO THIS MASTERPIECE

화사야 내 롤모델이야 항상 힘내라 제일 예쁘고 제일 강해 사랑해

“Why does she look gorgeous in every outfit she wears?” Me: cause *SHE IS HWASA* OKAY

the truth is: we'll all be dead if she ever performs with *that* red dress

I go back to this song again and again I never get tired of this masterpiece

"Ah Maria 이것은 당신에게 내 말입니다"

As some of you guys may know, Hwasa is currently sick rn so she is resting rn. I’m pretty sure she will rest rn and she will promote later, so let’s stream a lot while she’s sick(back injury) so that when she’s feeling better, she’ll find her mv with a ton of views

I like how Hwasa isn't afraid to show us she's human and she also feels pain. Many in the kpop industry and artists are so afraid to do so. And yet real art is emotion, not perfection.

This song never gets old

I’m actually in love with her omg

Is no one gonna talk about how the members came at the end? That was so wholesome

_"WHAT IF YOU DON'T FIT THIS GENERATION'S BEAUTY STANDARD?"_ *people:* _"then don't be kpop idol."_ __________________________________________________________________ *Hwasa:* _"THEN I'M PERFECT AT DIFFERENT STANDARD."_ ~lol but this quotes makes me remember all the time. can't refuse this is song's bop and her quotes inspire *WOMEN* to stand out, cuz you're all beautiful at your *own* standard~

This song gave really hard Latino vibes with that red dress and Hwasa's beautifully tanned skin. You are so beautiful Hwasa. Queen!

Why She is Soooooo Beautiful & Bold.....Perfect Example of Beauty with Brain........I just love her & her uniqueness.....🤗🙏🍀❤️🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷.

the only bad thing about this song is that it's STILL not on spotify four whole hours after release

I can't believe this. Our Queen is tren3ing in USA

I need a full album of her called " QUEEN "

Here again 'coz comeback is few days away. Realizing again that no matter how people hate you and drag you down, as long as you beleive in yourself and doesn't give up, you can make it. And also, the members in the end shows that there will always be someone who will love and accept you for who you are. you will never be alone.

In Twit, she ended up alone. In María, she’s has Mamamoo.

Rihanna would be so proud. Hwasa is one of the baddest in the game period.

2years have passed and I still love this song 🥺

The fact that she created this storyline herself, I'm sobbing

Let's take a minute to appreciate the backup dancers.

I’ve watched some of her videos back to back and what I’ve noticed (and admire) is that usually her choreography scenes are all very comfortable clothing rather than the other complicated costumes I really love that for her and the dancers!

Some songs doesn't need a billion of views to be called a masterpiece

Is no one gonna talk about how sweet the ending is? No one? Okay.

Now she is the FIRST female korean soloist to reach #1 on the Worldwide Itunes Album chart!! YES QUEEN

Ok so i have heard this song a lot of times but I had never seen the complete MV, i had only seen the chorus. Today I finally saw the whole MV along with lyrics and I just have one thing to say this is insane and so POWERFUL. The lyrics are soo damn goood and we all know how bad and struggling idol life can be, that just makes it more senseful

This song has a lot of feelings involved, I just love how whasa represents me with an anthem like this

Hwasa’s backup dancers are seriously on another level of attractiveness

Queen Hwasa is absolutely killing it in that dress.

She reflects strength and beauty, like a tiger!!

This song taught me not to listen to other people's words and to look ahead without worrying about judgments. MooMoo for life💜

She's a real queen. Beside all the hate she gets, she's still standing firm on her toes THAT'S A QUEEN BEHAVIOUR I LOVE HER!

anyone else cried when they saw the members at the end? it’s like to everyone else she’s a savage queen but to her members she’ll always be their little maknae.

2024 still here for queen

1:44 As my Mother once said "No fish, No fish; Chicken Chicken Curry"

SHE’S GOING TO PROMOTE STARTING FROM TOMORROW (July 2nd) at M-Countdown, Music Bank, Music Core and Inkigayo. Let’s GO GET HER MUSIC SHOWS WINS!

funny fact: this mv not trending at south korea but got trending on every country. wth queen hwasa you are the real BADASS!!!! international fans always hold you, support you. CLAP/// *edited* eventgh not trending, of course we'll believe ppl of south korea love hwasa too. please support hwasa.. vote on any music chart, hwasa is public figure who's could made her fans 'being love your self'.

Relatively new Moomoo here, Hwasa's presence immediately caught my eye. Absolutely mindblowing what I've read about her experience in the scene. You do you, Hwasa. The world is watching and loves you for it.

Hwasa, our talented quenn

She is pretty, talented, smart, charismatic, she is literally a QUEEN.

Hwasa doesn't have to reach the standards, she is so above them, standards try to reach her

I just cried at last No matter from which fandom you are this SONG will always take position in one of your favourites

She's so iconic for that

I love this girl,she is so confident about herself and everything. People need to learn from her

what i like about mamamoo is, even do they also did a solo career they did not outshine each other.

The lyrics... Hwasa's beatiful sound... Ahh 😩🖤

The ending is so cute. I'm late to checking this MV out. I didn't know the meaning of the lyrics. It's so good😭

This is not a concept, Hwasa herself wrote the storyboard for the MV, she was very involved in the album development, so please , this is Hwasa, this is María , the woman

That ending: after all fears and anxiety, Mamamoo is where Hwasa feels peaceful and happy.

Hwasa is a badass Queen I freaking love her

You are very, very beautiful Really creative, amazing and talented 🤍🤍💞

The lyrics were written by Hsawa and Maria is Hwasa's catholic name. I guess this song is also written to Hwasa herself. Hwasa said that this song is like her diary, recording her state of mind. The sadness hidden in the cheerful rhythm. And she hopes everyone can savor and get strength from the song. Love Hwasa so much. She is so talented and so perfect! Here's the English translation of the lyrics: I've been criticized so much, I have indigestion But even if I’m upset, what can I do, I do Everyone’s trying so hard to hate me If they break me down Does it feed them? I'm lonely, what do I do? So I swallowed up even the hate I have no strength to get mad No time either What is so upsetting for you? Just go on your way What’s wrong with everyone Maria, Maria I'm saying this for you It's a shining night Don't torture yourself Oh Maria, I'm saying this for you Why are you trying so hard You're already beautiful (Yeah) Oh na ah ah (Yeah) I'm saying this for you (Yeah) Oh na ah ah (Yeah) You're beautiful, Maria No frame no fake My head hurts The sky is the color of the sky, life is obvious I'll change up my path myself If you really wanna See me cry Fine, here are some tears I'm lonely, what do I do? So I swallowed up even the hate I have no strength to get mad No reason either So don't taint your heart It's too early to be corrupt Maria, Maria I'm saying this for you It's a shining night Don't torture yourself Oh Maria, It's saying this for you Why are you trying so hard You're already beautiful (Yeah) Oh na ah ah (Yeah) I'm saying this for you (Yeah) Oh na ah ah (Yeah) You're beautiful, Maria Maria, Maria I'm saying this for you It's a shining night Don't torture yourself Oh Maria, I'm saying this for you Why are you trying so hard You're already beautiful (Yeah) Oh na ah ah (Yeah) I'm saying this for you (Yeah) I'm saying this for you (Yeah) You're beautiful, Maria

To everyone who keeps comparing María to HYLT by Blackpink, just stop it. This is a song by Hwasa, not by Blackpink. Please respect that. And to the moomoo’s that are comparing them, please respect them as well. They both deserve no hate. Thank you.

This song deserves more views.

Moomoos here and non moomoos please stream mamamoo's comeback Illella, it's a great song u won't regret

yall dont understand the impact hwasa has on me, a girl whose really insecure abt her body. she makes me feel confident in my own skin😭😭

I bet whoever reject hwasa before because she "too fat" is crying in the corner now.. She end up with a great company, RBW with a great team, MAMAMOO and she herself becoming the GREATEST soloist ever..

This deserves 2 billon views

this is probably one of the most inspirational k-pop songs i have ever heard

I was shocked when I saw the cigarette because in most cases idols are crucified if they smoke or do anything else that is outside of the typical idol image. plus it seems there are many people offering her a lighter, almost as if they're waiting for her to make a mistake so they can hate her for it.

What makes *Hwasa* a QUEEN is not only her voice. Its her personality, her attitudes, her beauty, her message, her hardwork, her dance, everything about her

hwasa is a really great lyricist

She's a real icon for women strength cause who would take the haters down just like her with simple words and honesty

She slayed the comeback but I’m sad she injured her back during a dance practice..

This kind of concepts suits her the BEST. No one do such great acting like her. Hwasa is such a QUEEN.

This song saved me when I was at my worst

My name is Maria and i love K-pop

Still can't believe that this hasnt got a million views as of now. Edit. Finally! Million views for Queen Hwasa.

No one talks about her backup dancers, they're all good

She really deserves crown and be the qween of kpop ❤❤❤❤

Very beatiful hwasa

Hwasa out here going beyond korea's standard and doing her own thing. We stan a great and talented role model

Fact: She is a QUEEN and this song is a BOP

Fun fact:Hwasa's baptismal name is Maria, for hwasa, it is a sign of rebirth it is the reason why in the beginning she's laying down in full of candles

COMO ESSE HINO SÓ TEM 34M????? MÚSICA PERFEITA DEMAIS!!!!

Twit: Hwasa ends up being lonely Maria: Hwasa ends up being with MAMAMOO members

It's official, she was born with a crown on her head!

Best song ah ure queen 👸🏻 in the modern world

Bu hayatımda gördüğüm en iyi sololardandi of hwasam yapıyorsun bu işi be kızım.

I love this girl so so much , she has a strong personality, she’s confident , she is queen !
