Hwasa Says She Quit Social Media After Blue Dragon Stage With Park Jung-min

Singer Hwasa has opened up about the emotional aftermath of her widely talked-about Blue Dragon Film Awards performance with actor Park Jung‑min, revealing that she completely stepped away from social media at the time.

“I Was Completely Offline Back Then”

In a recent video released on the W Korea YouTube channel, Hwasa shared candid thoughts about her life after the stage that dominated online conversations.

Reflecting on the overwhelming reaction to the performance, Hwasa admitted,
“I wasn’t on social media at all then. I really cut myself off. After that day, I spent a lot of time almost hidden away.”

Her comments shed light on how intense public attention can push even seasoned artists to retreat and protect their mental space.

Viral Reactions—Seen Through Friends, Not Feeds

Although Hwasa avoided social platforms herself, she still ended up seeing the buzz secondhand.
“My friends kept sending me parody videos,” she said with a smile. “I watched them and found them genuinely funny.”

She specifically mentioned parody clips created by comedians Lee Chang-ho and Kim Ji-yoo, adding that she even went back online briefly just to “like” their videos as a thank-you.

Preparing for Her First Solo Concert

The interview also touched on Hwasa’s present focus: her upcoming first solo concert.
“I’m preparing for it right now, and honestly, it still doesn’t feel real,” she confessed. “I keep thinking, ‘Am I really doing a solo concert?’”

Rather than putting pressure on herself, Hwasa said she’s trying to let things flow naturally, just as she always has.

A Stage That Still Lingers in Her Heart

When asked about the performances that left the deepest impression on her, Hwasa didn’t hesitate to mention the Blue Dragon stage with Park Jung-min—alongside other meaningful moments in her career.

She recalled a particularly emotional farewell stage, saying,
“There was a moment when I felt like I was truly saying goodbye. I was smiling, but my eyes filled with tears. That feeling still hasn’t left me.”

Choosing Distance Over Noise

Hwasa’s story highlights a quieter truth behind viral moments: sometimes stepping away is the only way to stay grounded.

As she continues to prepare for her next chapter on stage, her words resonate with fans who understand that fame can be loud but healing often happens in silence.
