Hwasa of MAMAMOO confessed an episode from her trainee days. On the 17th, a video titled 'How much did you get from SNL, Sister Hwasa? Airport thief who caught norovirus' was posted on the YouTube channel 'Town Star K,' featuring Hwasa as a guest. That day, Jonathan asked, 'Did you get angry and email the representative when you were about to be kicked out as a trainee?' She replied, 'When I was a trainee, I weighed 60kg, and the representative told me to drop to 48kg. I worked hard and got down to 49kg, but the representative instructed to cut me.' When Jonathan expressed doubt saying, 'There's hardly any difference,' she said, 'That's why I got angry with the representative.' Jonathan showed understanding, saying, 'You didn't not try; you did your best in your own way,' to which she responded, 'That's why I fought with the representative and put my feelings into the lyrics. The title is 'I Do Me.' Instead of saying 'I'm sorry,' the representative responded with 'It's my way,' and thought, 'This girl is really different,' so the representative seemed to like me.' She also mentioned, 'I never thought it was easy for a trainee to say such things; I just thought it would be cool to do it this way.' Recently, Hwasa released her 2nd mini-album 'O' and is actively promoting it.
