At the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards held at KBS Hall in Yeouido, Hwasa staged a special performance that left fans buzzing. During the latter half of the ceremony, Hwasa performed her latest single, “Good Goddbye”, dressed in a flowing white gown and barefoot, sitting gracefully on a chair.
“It was truly like a scene from a movie,” spectators remarked as she gently swayed and danced from her chair before standing to move toward the audience.
In a cinematic twist, Park Jung-min, who appeared in the music video as her departing lover, walked toward her in the crowd. When Park Jung-min handed Hwasa a pair of red shoes, she tossed them aside and continued dancing directly in front of him. The duo sang the final verse together, and after Hwasa exited, Park Jung-min jokingly shouted, “Take the shoes with you!” adding a playful ending to the performance.
Hwasa later reflected on the moment, saying, “It was like returning a favor for something Park Jung-min once told me: ‘You have a great romantic face, but why do you keep choosing roles that make you suffer?’ I want to give that back today Park Jung-min, you have a wonderful romantic face too. Use it well.”
Park Jung-min responded with a playful gesture to silence her, eliciting laughter from the crowd, while Hwasa added, “This isn’t a lie. Many actresses around me dream of acting in romance with Park Jung-min. We all look forward to seeing his romantic performances soon.”
After their stage performance, “Good Goodbye,” released just a month earlier, shot back to the top of domestic music charts including Melon, Bugs, and Flo, despite having already concluded its promotional run.
The performance quickly went viral across social media and online communities. The official Blue Dragon YouTube channel saw a surge in views for the performance clip, while reaction videos from fellow actors surpassed 500,000 views. Meanwhile, the “Good Goodbye” music video featuring both Park Jung-min and Hwasa regained popularity, surpassing 42.68 million views and claiming the top spot on YouTube’s daily music video rankings.
The buzz didn’t stop at music. The literary world saw a ripple effect as well. According to Yes24, the audiobook version of Park Jung-min’s “Usable Human”, which he narrated, hit No.1 in weekly sales. The original 2016 print edition—long out of stock—has surged in price on the secondhand market, with some listings reaching over 50,000 KRW.
Park’s past TV appearances and YouTube content are also experiencing a second wave of attention. Comment sections are filled with users citing the Blue Dragon performance as the reason for their visit, indicating a sustained post-event interest.
Netizens reacted enthusiastically:
- That actress reaction is literally me.
- Park Jung-min, please give us more romance scenes.
- Park Jung-min and Hwasa, just date already!
The unexpected viral success demonstrates the “Blue Dragon effect,” reviving Hwasa’s song across all major music charts.
