Mini bio
How it started.
Born Ahn Hye-jin in Jeonju, HWASA moved to Seoul with her friend Wheein to pursue music. In 2014, they debuted together in MAMAMOO alongside Solar and Moonbyul, with “Mr. Ambiguous.”
Finding her own voice.
Her solo debut, “TWIT,” arrived in February 2019 and reached No. 1 on South Korea’s digital chart. “Maria” followed in 2020. In an NME interview, she described it as a song she had envisioned since her trainee days, with a message to herself after facing criticism.
Writing the next chapter.
She joined P NATION in 2023 and released “I Love My Body.” Her second mini album, O, followed in 2024, with “NA” and several songs she helped write or compose. She continued that songwriting work on “Good Goodbye” in 2025 and “So Cute” in 2026.
