MAMAMOO Hwasa Overcomes Initial Criticism with Her New Song

MAMAMOO Hwasa recently made her highly anticipated return, but her comeback faced some mixed reactions at first

On September 19, KST, she released her mini album “O”, featuring the title track “NA”. In the lead-up to the song’s official debut, several teasers provided glimpses of the chorus, generating buzz among fans and netizens alike. However, the early snippets left many feeling underwhelmed, as some predicted that “NA” would sound too similar to a typical PSY track, lacking Hwasa’s unique style and flair that her fans have come to love.

In addition to the song, the accompanying dance challenge also faced criticism. Many viewers found the choreography to be somewhat awkward and out of sync with the overall vibe they expected from Hwasa, further fueling their skepticism about her new release.

However, upon the official release of “NA,” public sentiment began to shift dramatically. In a post on Theqoo discussing her comeback, a majority of netizens expressed positive feedback regarding both the song and the music video. 

  • “I was curious after hearing the chorus, but now that I’ve heard the whole song, it’s good!”
  • “The verses are really trendy and so good!”
  • “I like the whole song, though?”
  • “I heard it out of curiosity. Why do I like the song so much?”
  • “The beginning is so good, but then the chorus suddenly feels so PSY…”
  • “The opening part is f*cking good, though?”
  • “Everything else apart from the parts that are PSY-like is good!”
  • “Surprisingly charming! The song, music video, and styling are all great!”

As the conversation around “NA” continues to grow, it’s clear that Hwasa’s talent and determination have resonated with fans, allowing her to reclaim the spotlight and leave a lasting impression.
