MAMAMOO’s Hwasa has finally addressed her dating rumors, revealing that she is now single after previously being linked to a 12-year-older businessman.

On March 5, a video titled "Han Hye Jin & Hwasa | Will Yeounpa Find Love This Year?" was uploaded on the YouTube channel Narae-sik.

During the video, Park Na Rae brought up the idea of having a couples' gathering with Han Hye Jin and Hwasa, saying, "We always talk about it." However, Hwasa’s response quickly caught attention.

She replied, "Do you think that day will ever come for the three of us? We're all single right now, aren't we?"—seemingly confirming that she is no longer in a relationship.

Hwasa also opened up about her views on marriage, saying, "In foreign countries, it's a bit more free, but in Korea, marriage is still viewed conservatively."

She then shared her thoughts on pregnancy and career, saying, "That's my dream. When Rihanna or Beyoncé performs while pregnant, people just see them as artists. I hope Korea becomes more open-minded like that."

She added, "I think it would be nice not to feel tied down by marriage and just go with the flow if I meet the right person."

Back in 2023, rumors spread that Hwasa was in a five-year relationship with a businessman 12 years older than her, known as "A." Reports claimed that Hwasa had actively pursued him, leading to their relationship.

However, Hwasa never confirmed nor denied the rumors. At the time, her agency simply stated, "It is difficult to verify as this pertains to the artist’s private life."

Now, with Hwasa saying she is single, fans are wondering whether she and "A" have officially parted ways.

Meanwhile, Hwasa continues to shine in her career! Since debuting with MAMAMOO in 2014, she has delivered hit songs like "Um Oh Ah Yeh," "You're the Best," "Décalcomanie," and "Piano Man."

Her solo career has also been a huge success, with chart-topping songs like "Twit" and "Maria." Aside from music, she’s been active on variety shows, including "I Live Alone," "Hangout with Yoo," and tvN’s "Dancing Queens on the Road."

With Hwasa now officially single, fans are excited to see what’s next for her.

Seo Ye Ji is facing major backlash after her surprising appearance on SNL Korea 7.

On April 12, Seo Ye Ji made her long-awaited return to variety shows by guest-starring on Coupang Play's SNL Korea Season 7.

Before the show started, she made jaws drop by joking, "I'll gaslight the SNL crew and make it fun," referencing her own past controversies.

During the "Seo Ye GPT" segment, Seo Ye Ji played an AI that helped Kim Won Hoon nail a company presentation. She then made a sharp comment, saying, "The truly embarrassing thing is sitting quietly and being talked about behind your back. I've experienced that a lot," hinting at the criticism she’s faced.

In the "Eve Hair Salon" skit, Seo Ye Ji acted as a salon director and joked about her past "Kim Ddak Ddak" scandal, where she was accused of controlling her then-boyfriend Kim Jung Hyun. When a character mentioned her stiff neck, she responded, "It's firm," making everyone laugh but also stirring mixed feelings.

Fans were shocked to see Seo Ye Ji using her past scandals as comedy material, especially since it’s been eight years since her last variety show appearance. Many pointed out that joking about serious accusations like gaslighting and academic fraud might have gone too far.

The controversy over Seo Ye Ji’s education also came back into the spotlight. She had previously claimed she studied abroad in Spain, but in 2021 it was revealed she never actually attended the university she mentioned.

Her agency explained she was accepted but didn’t attend because of her career in Korea, but many netizens weren’t convinced.

On SNL Korea, Seo Ye Ji even played a character who lied about her past to impress a boyfriend, making fans think of her real-life academic background scandal.

After the episode aired, reactions online exploded. Some comments included, "Falsifying academic background is a crime," "This was too much," "It was funny though," "Let’s forgive it since it’s black comedy," and "Why was Seo Ye Ji the first guest?"

Seo Ye Ji’s bold jokes have definitely split public opinion, with some calling it brave and others saying it only reopened old wounds.
