Why MAMAMOO’s Hwasa Enjoys Performing In The U.S. Over South Korea

It all boils down to one thing.

MAMAMOO‘s Hwasa has always been a force to be reckoned with on stage. Whether it’s her bold outfits or captivating performances, she’s known for pushing boundaries and embracing her individuality. Recently, the singer shared why she enjoys performing in the United States more than in South Korea, and it all boils down to one key factor: freedom.

In a recent interview, Hwasa revealed that her U.S. concerts are particularly special because she feels no restrictions on her performance. Unlike in South Korea, where she often finds herself second-guessing certain aspects of her stage presence, Hwasa thrives in the U.S., where she can perform without any limits.

She explained that when preparing to perform in South Korea, she feels like she should be more cautious.

I wanted to perform without any limits on the level of expression. In Korea, I tend to think about it more…

While her bold choices in South Korea have, at times, led to controversies, U.S. audiences seem to embrace her unapologetic approach to her performances. In fact, Hwasa expressed her enjoyment of performing without worry, saying she prepared her shows in the U.S. with less concern and felt more at ease.

It was great. I prepared without much worry, so it felt really good.

Hwasa’s American tour was a significant milestone for the artist, as she was able to fill large venues and showcase her confidence. During her LA performance, she stunned audiences in a sparkling bodysuit, exuding charisma and strength across the stage. The crowd’s reception further affirmed that Hwasa’s style resonates with international fans who celebrate her authentic self.
