Mamamoo Hwasa is under controversy for "ignoring seniors."
On the 1st, singer Uhm Junghwa posted on her IG and wrote, "During Seoul Check-in, it was so nice to meet Hwasa after a long time because she's always busy and hard to contact. She always jokes "she's a senior" so we burst into laughter."
The clarification was due to recent 4th episode of 'Seoul Check-in' released on the 29th where Lee Hyori, Uhm Jung-hwa, BoA, and Hwasa had a drinking party at Kim Wan-seon's house. Hwasa told Junghwa, "If you go to Jeju, please call me too" and she replied, "Really? You're always busy, you never pick up my calls."
Lee Hyori added, "Hwasa is a kid that can afford to got to Paris with luxury bags. She's a global star, that's why she ignores us. Her senior is Beyonce, not us."
Netizens shared discomfort over the jokes and accused Hwasa of "ignoring her seniors."
In a recently released Wavve original 'MMM_Where are they now', Hwasa confessed to suffering from malicious comments and stated, "Will it be over if I die? I can only repay fans with music, that's all I can do. But it has gone past the point where I no longer like music and want to quit the industry."
Hwasa was also embroiled in "racism" controversy in 2020 after appearing on MBC's 'I Live Alone' wearing clothes similar to Nigerian traditional clothing. Foreign viewers shared strong criticisms over her outfit and she released an official position in English and apologized.
She also drew attention after she was spotted with 'No bra' fashion while leaving the airport for an SBS 'Super Concert' schedule in Hong kong in 2019. After her outfit caused controversy, she later stated "I have freedom and personal right to wear no bra" causing anger with the public.
