HwaSa might be promoting as a solo artist right now but the MAMAMOO member knows and respects her roots. In a new interview, the “I Love My Body” singer confirmed she is aware of how her group helped push her career further. In addition to that, Ahn Hyejin discussed her surprisingly laidback stage preparations and ultimate life goals.
Hwa Sa Shares Surprising Stage Preparations
In a recent interview with allkpop, Hwa Sa was reminded that it has almost been a decade since she debuted with MAMAMOO. Reflecting on her career, the “Maria” singer admitted that she can’t choose a specific moment that led her to where she is now as an artist. Instead, Hwasa pointed out that the idol group made everything possible for her.
“I can’t pinpoint just one. I’m here only because MAMAMOO exists,” she said.
With almost 10 years of experience, Hwasa confirmed that she has streamlined her stage preparations.
“Preparing my set list requires a lot of physical stamina, so I need to be more selective and attuned to my physical condition before going on stage. It’s essential to have nourishing meals that strike a balance between light and heavy.” she said. “Stretching is crucial, and I need to warm up my voice without straining my neck or overusing my vocal cords.”
“I carefully monitor the condition of my throat when speaking. It’s best to opt for lightweight clothing and ensure my choice of shoes is comfortable,” she continued. “Before going on stage, I avoid rushing; instead, I take my time to feel energized and always apply some perfume. As I perform more frequently, my stage fright lessens, but I still get nervous when I step on stage after a long break.”
It’s surprisingly laidback compared to most artists and her relaxed attitude is also reflected in Hwa Sa’s life goals. When asked about her wishes for herself and MAMAMOO, the idol chose happiness.
“My goal would be to live a healthy and joyful life,” Hwasa said.
Hwa Sa’s most recent release is the single album “I Love My Body”, which promotes body positivity.
