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 Album chart and ranked 1st on the WORLDWIDE album chart as well. She co-wrote and co-composed 4 songs out of 6 of this album…an amazing album with powerful collaborations, a Queen like always.

Maria is Hwasa’s catholic name

Lyrics are about how she was torn down by haters and k-netizens but she is telling herself that she is beautiful and strong so then that hate that she gets can then be her fuel to keep being beautiful! Also, visuals represent this message. Like for example the intro bit at the table, she gives them "her brain", "CDs", "fashion items" but the people at the table are judgmental, criticizing it, disgust, etc. So it's like how she expresses herself yet haters are hating on her but then one scene they have their heads covered so that could symbolize anonymity like keyboard warriors or the idea that if these haters didn't know how she looked like or knew that the art that they were receiving at the table is from Hwasa then would they be as mean, as hateful? Would they actually hate the art? These are theories stemmed from the symbolism of course, so keep that in mind! Also, the pencils! Like tabloids, journalists writing articles shaming her or criticizing her! And to explain (technically theorize) that ending with Mamamoo, it can be them saving her, helping her in her darkest of times because in a scene previous to that with the same setting and outfit but in dark lighting she was holding scissors contemplating to possibly harm herself? So yeah, it's got a personal and deep/dark message with sad and sympathetic lyrics

Maria is the name she was christened with

“Who’s doing that? No one!” I live for this! 😌

María is her baptismal name. Also she wrote the storyline for this MV so everything you are seeing came from her own mind + the cigarette part at the beginning is homage to the film 'Malèna'. There was a scene in the film which is very similar to that. Hwasa loves to watch old films so she included a bit of it in the MV.

They were so hyped i loved that And then other members came in n efra was like “solar’s attractive”

Here's why I love my biased Hwasa from my one and only woman group Mamamoo: She is a good daughter to her parents She is a good loyal friend She is a beautiful person both inside and out Even though she came from humble beginnings she worked hard to be where she is now, nothing was given to her easily She loves and embraces her gorgeous tanned skin & beautiful curvy body She is confident in herself not fitting into the harsh Korean beauty standards & creating her own standards I like every song that she releases, I listen to them over and over again. They are timeless She is a talented vocalist and has a unique style different from the others She has a beautiful tone and deep register in her voice like RnB, soul She writes her own lyrics that are deep and meaningful She helps with the musical arrangements and composition of her songs She contributes to her own choreography She takes part in the the concept of her stage/video concepts She styles herself and has a say in the wardrobe to her songs She does her own makeup & it looks good She has that "It" factor. She is Korea's IT girl after all She has stage presence & knows how to perform live on stage She can command the audience with just a microphone singing live on a chair She is a self made artist, not a manufactured cookie cutter product/puppet of a large corporation She is with RBW a small company that supports her artistry, individuality and freedom to be herself She is a good role model for all women out there to be an individual and not care what others think of you She is a strong independent woman She is vulnerable and soft She is a woman's woman I can personally connect and relate to her

she composed, wrote, co-choreo the song !! she also wrote 5 to 6 songs and composed other 4 songs in the maria mini album !!! the talent and dedication she gave yall. please react to her mini album guys thank you ♡♡

maría is hwasa baptism name. she even got it tattoed on her back of neck. this showed in Q music video by onewe ft hwasa that youve reacted before 😊

I'm here to tell you that LAY reacted to you guys reacting to his mv I'm lit

Totally enjoyed your reaction! The song has sad vibe. Hwasa said she really loves upbeat song but sad which is how Twit and María were created. She leggit cried during the part where she sang "Why are you doing so much? You're already beautiful" Yes when the artist herself genuinely making the song from producing, composing, directing we can really feel the sincerity that's why I really hope she can win no. 1 because she deserves it and she really worked hard on this whole album. And yes we want more of your reaction to the whole album!

The song is about her story, in the end of the day her besties will always be there and cheers for her. That's just my interpretation of the song and MV...

I like how you guys actually dig into the implicit meaning of the scenes even there’s no captions yet and some of them are actually on point. You’ll be getting goosebumps once you get to know the actual meaning and the behind story of the MV and lyrics. By the way, Maria is Hwasa’s catholic name. She’s a catholic.

the girls are not just a group mate to her, they're her friends and family.. she said multiple times that her members became a family to her. i'm guessing the girls came to cheer her up when she's down.. i love you guys reactions! ❤

Hwasa wrote the lyrics for the song and the storyline for the MV. 😭 Also, i'm so happy seeing both of you became moomoos, now you know all their names and looking forward to their comebacks. 😘💕💕

Hwasa is the only person who can make a straight jacket look hot

Maria is Hwasa's baptism name! I already had sky high expectations for Hwasa but holy shit Maria EXCEEDED all my expectations 😭😭😍😍🥺🥺 The music, the clothes, the dance, the music video, her badass aura ♥️♥️

Maria is her Catholic name btw! She composed majority of this album! Hope you watch her Twit and Be Calm music videos as well!

In case you're wondering, Lyrics: I have an upset stomach from getting sworn at so much Even if I’m sad, what am I going to do I do You all worked hard hating If you knock me down Does that feed you? What do I do about being lonely I’ve even swallowed the hate I don’t even have the strength to be angry I don’t have the time either What is so disgusting Just go on your way Why are you all doing this, making me sad Maria Maria These are words for you It’s a shining night Don’t bother me Oh Maria they’re words for you Why are you struggling You’re already beautiful No frame no fake Throbbing headache The sky is the color of the sky, living is all obvious I’ll change the path I go I’ll change a crisis to an opportunity If you really want to see me cry Here, tears

*MARIA* is her Christian Name or English Name. Koreans who were christianized have alternate names with them.

yes. Maria is hwasa's alter ego.that nobody can see. she even has a maria tattoo on the back of her neck

Me watching Them Reacting Hwasa’s Maria MV and i was like (watch out for the latino music) boom!!! I love you guys

I absolutely agree with you-Hwasa could succeed in Latin America, the west and everywhere! She’s brilliant. PLEASE REACT TO HER SONG TWIT 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Wow the difference between your first reaction to Mamamoo to now. I love your development as moo moos :’) I also love how you watched the interviews with Hwasa what this means to her. What sets you guys apart with your reaction videos is that you actually dig into the music, music videos and what they mean and reflect on it! We love true moo moos here to share their feels. Keep it up guys, it’s so fun to see you genuinely enjoy Hwasa/Mamamoo’s music ♥️

If you’re curious to hear more latino stuff from Mamamoo, their song Egotistic has latin influences and also Solar has covered Despacito at one of their concerts!

Thank you so much for reacting to our queen...💚🥺Yes Hwasa's Christian name is Maria. So this album is to show a different side of her. Wheein also has one its Gabriella.

Great video! I’m always excited to watch the two of you react to Mamamoo and other music content! But especially Mamamoo, seeing as I’m a MooMoo. Maria is Hwasa’s baptismal name. She has it tattooed on the back of her neck. I would love to watch you guys react to the video again after the lyrics are out. Love your videos and your channel.

YALL LAY REACTED TO A COMPILATION OF LIT REACTIONS AND HE REACTED TO YOU GUYS 🖤

Hwasa is perfect! 👑❤🔥

You searching for lyrics is every international fans ever when the mv premiered 😂

Maria is Hwasa's baptismal name. And that is tattooed in her back of the neck as well. You must have noticed in the teaser video of nobody else.

I love how your guess about the sybolisms are so on point

Hwasa is a Queen 👑❤️

I vote releasing a separate video for every song btw the into song "nobody else" also has a video that was released about a week ago you should check it.

María es su nombre Bautismal, ella es católica, no se exactamente como funciona pero si es su nombre, lo tiene tatuado en su nuca ❤️

hwasa is the first and only female korean soloist to hit #1 on US iTunes and #1 on worldwide album

I've never seen neither have I ever heard someone so happy to say the words "she's dieing"

Your English accents are everything, you switch between American and British and I'm living for it. I loved your reactions, too, true moomoos reacting to our queens always makes me feel like I'm hanging out with friends and we're gushing about them~ I lost my mind during that Latin flare bit where she just vocalizes. Ohmygod, what a queen, I'm still shook and so proud of her for this song.

Its SO good that MMM and hwasa antis r streaming it like crazy!

Yes I was waiting for your reaction guys. Please react to her mini album "María".

Cuando escucho la canción escucho mucha influencia del flamenco, hasta en el movimiento de manos.💃

same here. Hwa Sa's Maria is the first premiere I've witnessed in KZfaq. And it is quite memorable 😊 She's a QUEEN👸🏼💖

Hwasa so beautiful....

I’m so sorry Twit but Maria has replaced you

I swear 11:10 that is totally relatable! Coz my expression was exactly like that when she said "you are already pretty" is such agressive manner! She looked so hot🔥I'm head over heels for My Queen Hwasa👑

Im so happy. I’m an army but i love other kpop groups. There is just something about hwasa that makes her my favorite female idol. And now we have the same name! 💜

out of all the reaction videos ive seen yours is the only one that tackle the details on the mv and actually understand. others are just streaming and that was it. cant wait for another reaction video once the eng trans is up and also i wanna say im always looking forward to your outfits 🥺💖

I glad u two having fun reacting to it...whatching u two makes me happy to..good job uwuuu...btw i'm having goosebumps from start to the end of maria...so good😁👍

I really love watching the "Maria" reaction video. I watched almost all the reaction videos for the song "maria". Thanks for the reaction video. I really like your reaction.

Thanks for the reaction! You should definitely check the whole album with lyrics, it's all connected and it's about all the negative sides of fame that bring her hate, let her slide away from her real self, put her in dark moments that she thought she couldn't overcome, but thanks to the other members of mmm she could pull through the darkness...the intro has an mv and the song "lmm" is expected to have an mv as well ♥️ If you want more mamamoooXspanish there's Solar singing despacito at her concert while pole dancing but I would love to see more mamamoo reactions in general, also their funny moments are among the craziest in kpop 😂

Such an insightful and intelligent reaction unlike so many out there. Love your reaction. Please keep it up! X

You guys have no idea how excited I just got to hear you say that you are official MooMoo’s. I have never been so excited for a idols/artist min album to come out then Hwasa’s.

Hwasa 😍😍😍
