Early life

Ahn Hye-jin was born on July 23, 1995, in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do, South Korea,[2] [3] where she lived with her parents and two elder sisters. She graduated from Wonkwang Information Arts High School.[4] Hwasa often cites Beyoncé as her music inspiration, stating that after hearing someone say that she was unique and good at singing but was fat and not pretty, she went home and watched videos of Beyoncé performing all night to comfort herself.[5]

Even before her K-pop debut, a number of South Korean artists – including artist Solbi and the band Standing Egg – recognized her talent and featured her on their tracks when she was 18.[6]

In February 2019, Hwasa made her debut as a solo artist with the digital single, "Twit", which she participated in writing and composing.[13] The song was a commercial success, peaking atop the Gaon Digital Chart and scored a "Triple Crown", topping the Gaon Digital, Gaon Download and Gaon Streaming charts.[14] "Twit" also peaked at number three on Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart for the week of March 2, 2019.[15] Hwasa released the single "In the Fall", a collaboration with South Korean hip-hop producer Woogie, in October.[16] In December, "Twit" was featured in Billboard "The 25 Best K-pop Songs of 2019: Critics' Pick" list at number 8[17] and in Refinery29s list of "The Best K-Pop Songs of 2019" at number 13.[18] Its music video was also included in Rolling Stone India's article of the "10 Best K-pop Music Videos of 2019".[19]

2020: María

In March 2020, Hwasa collaborated with English singer Dua Lipa for a remix of Lipa's song "Physical", featuring Korean lyrics.[20] [21] In April, it was reported that Hwasa had joined the original soundtrack lineup of the Korean drama and would be releasing her first solo soundtrack song, titled "Orbit".[22] [23] The song debuted at number 16 on Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart on May 2, 2020.[24]

The article mentioned that "Hwasa is known to many as a fearless person but her single 'María' deconstructs that image, casting an image of a young woman who is at once vulnerable and confident, playful and seductive—idol and human."[39] In Time magazine's article documenting K-pop songs and albums that defined the year, the publication wrote "of the solo releases [the] year, Hwasa's "María" leaves the most searing impression".[40] With her success, Hwasa ranked ninth on the "Top 100 Kpop Idols YouTube Worldwide Search Rankings for 2020".[41]
