METALHEAD REACTION TO KPOP - Hwasa - Maria

[@maricl5859]

Hwasa said Maria is the crystallized tears and sweat that she shed. The MV starts with a crime scene, Hwasa is dead and people are still trying to take some shots of her. A red hair Maria (an alter ego after Hwasa baptismal name) is watching the scene careless. Hwasa funeral, only empty chairs with invitation on it and with its back turned, nobody cares like she says in the lyrics. Here an homage to the most beautiful and powerful scene in Malena movie, with all those men offering their lighter to her. Malena is the most beautiful woman of a SMALL village (it can be a comparison to South Korea restricted mentality), because of her looks and her solitary state, she is an object of lust for all the town's men and of hatred for its women…after many vicissitudes and a very hard time she understood that her beauty is her salvation. So she cuts her black hair and dyes by red her hair, changing her attitude as well. We can clearly see a difference among Hwasa and Maria, both in outfits and attitude. In the table scene we can see a bloodstained Maria with rubber boots and a pretty simple outfit at a table with people all dressed up, they're keyboard warriors. Again lyrics "You all worked hard hating. If you knock me down. Does that feed you?" She's serving them with all sort of things. The table is full with jewels, trove of tapes, mics, cds, diamonds…but they're just looking at those picky. Maria with a bored face is watching them and then she starts happily eating a brain. The difference among Maria and those people is so strong and impactful. I've also read that eat someone's brain means pester someone. The triangular tub is also interesting, she's bathing in milk and rose petals like a Queen and her skin is so white, but once again she looks bored and then she starts to make 'no' gesture with her finger with a smirking face. Like 'I don't need to be pale, I'm beautiful like this'… probably a references to all hateful comments she gets about her bronze skin since ages. We're back to Hwasa, she's trapped like in a mental hospital with a straitjacket, all her body is constrained by laces…this once again can be interpreted as the restricted South Korea mentality. They're monitoring her, pencils (comments) are pointed at her and she is trying to escape from this kind of net (network) until she finds a crown with diamonds and nails (representing the double faces of success). Ink-stained hands Hwasa decides to wear the crown, She got ink on her hands while fighting malicious comments, in fact we can see her beating her fists on the ground and shouting. The triangular tub is back but this time we can see Maria and Hwasa looking at each other through a bloody water. A triangle is a figure linked to different trinities like mind, body & spirit; past, present & future; thought, feeling & emotion and creation, preservation and destruction. And, personally, all those fit this MV perfectly. And now we discover Hwasa was not dead at all. Like it was all a dream, in fact she's on a coach with scissor in her hands, she is alone with her thoughts when suddenly Mamamoo members appear with big smiles. She said many times Mamamoo are her strength and she was able to face difficulties since trainee period only because they were together. The whole lyrics are beautiful and powerful but sad at the same time. She said this is an exciting yet sad song, she likes those kind of songs because they resemble life. With this album Hwasa became the first Korean female solo artist to reach #1 on iTunes US. She co-wrote and co-composed 4 songs out of 6 of this album…an amazing album with powerful collaborations, a Queen like always.

This is amazing thank you so much! We really appreciate your insight and information 🤟 This was a great breakdown, definitely gives us a better understanding of the MV. We loved it! She is so talented!!🔥 thanks again for ❤

[@YoonMint]

Wow... thank you, i never knew all of this, only the the baptismal name part.

[@disneychannelgirl57]

Awesome explanation. Thanks!

[@ProcrasTina]

Hwasa is great at making sad songs that sound happy. Like the beat/music is upbeat, but the lyrics are sad. “Twit”, “Maria”, “I’m a B” are all bops, but when you read the lyrics, they’re deep or sad. So good!

[@Kimnojam]

😎 Maria is Hwasa's christian name, apparenty her alter ego in the song, which is about her struggles and telling herself to not waste energy thinking about it 😎 Yeah I watched Queendom it was awesome. I personally was rooting for G-idle and Mamamoo. I loved the creativity of G-idle specially the Lion stage (it was epic) and the amazing vocals of mamamoo (of which they are known for) 👍

[@Gusmcarthur]

🤟🤟🤟

[@vickya.713]

I was waiting! Her other song "LMM" is very good too!!

[@aoncemoomooinsomniac2161]

Moonbyul’s solo song Eclipse is 🔥

[@xheralt]

The dance cover by AleXa musy be seen to be believed.

[@kudgeond755]

Nice comments about her dynamics, range and the different vocal techniques she uses depending on the song. She always sings from the gut and the heart and she's so ballsy on stage I think sometimes people overlook the very accomplished singer behind the fierce diva persona. Her gymnastics on MMM's vocal masterpiece Paint Me are ridiculous. It takes a few times before the lyrics and MV for Maria start to get clearer. There's a helpful vid by David Kim on DKDK-TV that explains some of the Korean word play along with his interpretation of the MV. About Hwasa's vocals on Decalcomanie in Queendom, that episode was recorded the day after MMM did a 4+ hour long concert in Daegu and they weren't in peak condition vocally. I thought Hwasa was pushing through vocal strain and noticed that Solar held back on her belting. Wheein looked like she was ready to collapse. They're pros tho and they gave it their best and did a great job. Suggestions: Hwasa's Maria EP is one of the best kpop albums released this year - listen to the whole thing and watch the MV for LMM (Lost My Mind). If you haven't seen the MV for Hwasa's solo debut song Twit then you'd be a twit to miss it. Don't, her collab with rapper Loco and producer Woogie, was one of the sexiest songs of 2018. There's no MV - watch the Above Live vid. Moonbyul's EP Dark Side of the Moon is another highlight of the kpop year and the song Eclipse is going to blow you away.

[@sinthiarahman1396]

Omg you did the intro so well 😆 yeah that’s Mamamoo’s intro ❤️

[@Gusmcarthur]

🙏❤

[@fizzarubab7230]

Too early but gotta love queen hwasa 😎

[@skylarmartin4247]

fizza rubab yes, beauty & vocal queen!

[@Gusmcarthur]

🤟

[@euphoriacloudlands160]

You can never be too early for the Queen!

[@bex8937]

Glad you like her so much! The dance for this is really good as well. Pentagon will be having a comeback next month, please keep your eyes open for it!

[@kn0ck_0ut95]

Hey just found you guys and it's really cool when people who are mainly fans of one type of music can really get into another. But I also wanted to say the song where they go "We are Mamamoo~" is from Piano Man.....also incredibly beautiful voice man!

[@lucyjameson2073]

Hwasa is thee Queen periodt.

[@miss.takess]

This is one of her best songs! Also, it's so cute to see how you guys love sunmi (she's AMAZING and i think you should react to an old song of her, its called Full Moon)

[@sirwasaifaldeen9531]

"Lmm" is really good too, it is a side track from her album

[@jessicaventura4992]

you should react to the mini album from Hwasa because is so good

[@Gusmcarthur]

🤟🤟

[@skylarmartin4247]

Jessica Ventura yes lmm is so beautiful 🤩!

[@wheesamoonsun3388]

Skylar Martin WHY and IM BAD TOO totally a bop too!

[@jellykappa]

LMM💕

[@kimberly_neville]

PLEASE Do this .... not only are Why, I'm Bad Too, LMM, and of course Maria AMAZING .... but NO ONE mentioned Nobody Else, and Kidding. KIDDING is FREAKING UNBELIEVABLY GOOD! OMG, Not only does she sing, but she is her own feature rapper on it... Seriously, CRAZY Good! and Honestly, WHY is my second favorite on the album, I wish she had been able, and had the time to do press for all of the songs she created. But doing all of the live stages for Maria with a hurt back, and still dancing that way, and doing her reality show at the same time, and like now she is on (or was on) 6 TV shows, and doing "Let's Dance"(Mamamoo collab w/ B.Ryong), and the collab with Andar clothing with Mamamoo, doing "Wanna be Myself", song and video.

[@ren0210989]

you guys should totally do a metal cover of this song!!! :D

[@Gusmcarthur]

🤟🤟

[@mizyu_haircopter7520]

I'd love to see her cover a Jinjer song, specifically Bad Water. Great reaction, fellas!

[@wheesamoonsun3388]

Maria mini album got most of genres out there its so beautiful and amazing its one the best album in 2020 fyi!

[@acitysodead]

Hello, Miss you guys!! How are you both? That hair looks dope for you Goran! By the way, in the MV. I believe the old self of hers has summitted to the criticism of her figure or beauty not fitting the beauty standard of Korean people. And that's why her alter ego (auburn hair) breaks free from it saying (or knowing) that she's already beautiful. And at the last scence as you can see, her band members or friends came to support her and cheering her up!

[@Gusmcarthur]

Thanks! Hope you are as well❤ ah very cool, thats for the breakdown, we appreciate it!

[@phannyoliveira619]

0:20 wow incredible voice

[@xheralt]

Fun fact: the

[@shaaiboiee]

In Korea it gets really hot and humid in the summer so traditionally that’s when a lot of horror movies and concepts of MV come out. They believe the ‘chills’ and shivers/frights they get can cool people down lol. Also kpop is starting to do more horror/Halloween concepts near October due to western influences of Halloween.

[@jaysptn9768]

Another on point reaction from you guys!! Yes, Goran that MV is so metal! ✊ We need more genuine reaction like this in YT, it is great to know that you guys really want to experience the entirety of the MVs. You can really see how true are the reactions coming from this two metalheads. They break down all the technicalities like musicality, visuals, etc., this is way better and far from what other reaction channels do who kept on pausing just to overreact on a particular scene (it's freaking annoying if you ask me lol). Thank you for your on point, genuine, informative breakdowns of MVs! More power! ✊✊✊ And yes, please react to Mamamoo's member's solos: Moon Byul's ECLIPSE and; Solar's SPIT IT OUT Also, TWICE is reportedly coming back on 26th of October, we ONCEs want you to give us your honest break down of their MVs, please react to: BREAKTHROUGH and; FAKE&TRUE I am sure both of you will also enjoy these MVs!! 🙏😁

[@user-kf3xj1ci4v]

I rewatched all of your reaction videos hehe 🙂🙂🙂 oh and I'm a korean fan! :D

[@Gusmcarthur]

Thank you really appreciate you're support!

[@bex8937]

You should check out Can You Feel It by Pentagon as well! The visuals are cool and it's one of my favorite songs. Pentagon has a lot of great vocalists, especially the leader Hui, oldest Jinho, and Yanan.

[@sinthiarahman1396]

I love your reaction so much! Next songs I’d suggest are Hwasa’s LMM, Moonbyul’s Eclipse, Solar’s Spit It Out and Wheein’s Goodbye ☺️

[@camilagalo268]

[@arianne688]

Hello! If you are looking for another talented Kband, I would like to recommend checking out the band, ONEWE. Onewe is also under RBW entertainment (same company as Mamamoo). They have played as a band for Mamamoo for a number of times in awards shows and their concert. Their vocalist, YONGHOON, is an AMAZING VOCALIST while the instrumentalists, DONGMYEONG (keyboardist, vocalist), CYA (bassist & rapper), KANGHYUN (guitarist) & HARIN (drummer) are exceptionally TALENTED - I bet you'll definitely enjoy the guitar and drums solos in their songs! Here are their title tracks you can check out: - REMINISCE ABOUT ALL (debut single - rock ballad) - REGULUS - Q (feat. Hwasa of Mamamoo) - END OF SPRING - PARTING (new song, they released it last September 24) I'd also like to recommend their other MVs and covers but will do it if you start checking them out already. I really hope you can give them a chance and enjoy them! Thank you! :)
