On May 6, Kim Young-ok uploaded a new video titled “A So Cute Combination That Makes Everyone Curious (Seasonal Dureup Bibimbap)”. The episode showed Hwasa visiting the actress’ home and sharing a warm homemade meal together in a relaxed atmosphere.

During the conversation, Hwasa also briefly mentioned MAMAMOO’s upcoming comeback, revealing that the group would reunite in June after several years. When production staff jokingly asked for spoilers, she laughed awkwardly and responded, “There’s nothing. Really nothing.”

The conversation later shifted naturally toward dating and relationships. Kim Young-ok asked Hwasa whether she had ever dated before, prompting the singer to candidly reply, “Of course I’ve dated before.”

Kim Young-ok then jokingly asked whether her former partner had been “a bad guy.” Hwasa quickly denied it and shared a more personal reflection instead.

“No. He wasn’t a bad person. I think dating is just difficult for me,” she admitted.

Kim Young-ok sympathized with the singer’s struggles and offered heartfelt advice about modern relationships and marriage. The actress reflected on how dating culture has changed over the years, explaining that people today spend more time getting to know each other before deciding whether a relationship should continue toward marriage.

The comments quickly gained attention online, especially because Hwasa had previously been swept up in dating and breakup rumors involving a businessman reportedly 12 years older than her. The relationship was first reported in 2024, with claims stating the pair had been together for five years.

Although Hwasa never directly addressed the rumors at the time, fans later speculated that the couple had broken up after she appeared on comedian Park Na-rae’s YouTube show alongside model Han Hye-jin and remarked, “The three of us are all single right now.”

Hwasa’s latest remarks have now reignited interest in her relationship status, while many fans praised the singer for her honesty and mature perspective on love.
