Hwasa Discusses Eating Habits: “If I Eat Like I Used To, I Would Get in Trouble”

On February 26th, the “Naraesik”YouTube channel released a fresh video featuring the popular singer Hwasa. In this episode, Hwasa made a striking appearance, showcasing a noticeably slimmer figure as she greeted host Park Narae with warmth and enthusiasm.

During their lively exchange, Park Narae, aware of Hwasa’s commitment to dieting, thoughtfully prepared a special meal of chirashizushi. As the delightful array of dishes, including delicacies like steamed abalones, Alaskan pink shrimp, and uni, was laid out, Hwasa expressed her excitement by asking, “Are you going to fillet it? It feels like an omakase. I love it!” Her enthusiasm highlighted the culinary experience Park had crafted for her.

The conversation soon turned to Hwasa’s dietary preferences. Park Narae inquired if she was avoiding greasy foods due to her diet. Hwasa confirmed, saying, “That’s right. I haven’t completely cut it out, just reduced it. I don’t live as roughly as before.” To which Park responded fondly, “I liked you back then. Then you don’t mix bibimbap in a bowl?” This prompted Hwasa to reflect on her physical changes, responding, “I got a lot weaker. If I eat like I used to, I would get in trouble.”

Park Narae recalled a past conversation where Hwasa confidently claimed, “Even if I don’t exercise, I don’t gain weight.” She noted how perceptions change with age, and Hwasa acknowledged the truth in this, saying, “Back then, you asked, ‘How can you maintain your shape while eating that much?’ I didn’t even work out, but I get it now.” This candid exchange underscored the reality of maintaining health and body image over time.

In a previous revelation during her appearance on SBS’s “Bodymentary – A Confession About ‘Fat’” last December, Hwasa opened up about her struggles with weight. She shared a harrowing experience from her trainee days when she and her fellow members resorted to laxatives on weigh-in days. She recounted the emotional turmoil she faced when secretly indulging in injeolmi (Korean rice cake), leading to episodes of crying and subsequent physical distress, ultimately resulting in anorexia—a revelation that resonated deeply with many viewers.

Hwasa debuted with MAMAMOO in 2014 and quickly ascended to stardom with smash hits like “Um Oh Ah Yeh, ” “Yes I Am, ” and “Décalcomanie.” Additionally, her solo career has flourished with popular tracks such as “Twit” and “Maria.”
