MAMAMOO's Hwasa recently shared some of the challenges she faces as a celebrity.

On the 16th, Hwasa appeared on a video with broadcaster and webtoon artist Kian84 on his YouTube channel.

During the chat, Kian84 asked her about the celebrities she’s close with. Hwasa mentioned Lee Hyori, Uhm Jung Hwa, and model Han Hye Jin, saying, "They are amazing senior artists I admire on a personal level."

Talking about her career, Hwasa revealed, "I dreamed of becoming a singer because I thought, 'I'm good at singing, so I should be a singer.' Since I was young, I only focused on becoming the best, and I lived with a lot of ambition."

But she also admitted it hasn’t been easy. "Living like this can wear me out sometimes," Hwasa said. "There are moments when I can't work in my right mind. I never get proper sleep, and I struggle with insomnia."

Despite the hardships, Hwasa is determined to give her all. "I want to give everything to this career so that I have no regrets. I hope one day, I can say, 'This is enough,' even if it feels a bit abstract," she shared.

Still, Hwasa isn’t sure when that moment will come, adding, "But I don’t know if I’ll be able to stop when that time comes."

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
