Actually Maria is her Catholic baptismal name, and this song has a whole meaning

Maria is Hwasa’s baptismal name (She's Catholic). This track (which she wrote & composed) delves into Hwasa’s experience being bullied and harassed by naysayers as she defies Korean beauty standards and expectations. It’s an ode to herself, deflecting the negativity and remembering that her true self is beautiful despite the hatred she’s dealt with.

Imagine the struggle of having to deal with the excessive amount of hate and disrespect just for breaking the barrier for Asian women and showing them that it's okay to embrace your body the way it is. I hate that she has to go through this and definitely deserves better. And I literally just noticed that our boy Zak ain't here😭

"Hey bish you did it bish" "Hey bish we got u sum gifts" "Hey solar, spit it out" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The long haired dancer is actually in chungha’s video too!

Just some essential background. Maria is her baptismal name so she was directly addressing herself. Hwasa said this is an upbeat but emtional song and that she cried when singing the chorus. The lines especially "Maria Maria These words are for you" " Why are you struggling, you are already beautiful". She is basically consoling herself after all the hate she received and continues to receive til this day (ugh) and she's basically written her whole self into this song so it hits quite deep when reading the lyrics despite how much of a bop it is. She was also injured these promotions so could only perform for abour 4 days but despite short promotions her achievements with this album (def check out the rest of the tracks one of the best albums ever) are phenomenal. No.1 US itunes chart (first for a female Korean solo ever) and No.1 on Worldwide Albums Charts. She's been a stable no.2 hit on Korean charts til now and has still winning 4 music shows weeks and weeks later after her promotions ended. Not to mention Maria on Tiktok is one of the biggest hits in China now. To understand more of the meaning and music video references (to the movie Melana in the cigarette scene) check out DKDKTVs Explained. Also her dancers did blow up after this comeback,with one of them going from 4k ig followers to above 100k now now

Hi rIVerse I’ve seen a lot of your posts about the comment and I just wanted to write and say that I and many other IVleague appreciate the hard work you put into these videos and we appreciate the reactions that you put out please try hard to focus on the positive and patient IVleague I know it’s hard but we’ll always be supporting you no matter what ❤️

6:51 omg LOL Look at Dizz's right eye, how can he control just one eye motion? :O

Dizz: "We Not Only Reacters We Are Also Band Called rIVerse" Monroe: 😮Oh😯 Khadeja: 😮Oh😯 Zak: 😮Oh😯 That's my favorite part XD💖🥺

I would really love for people to start recognising Hwasa's vocal abilities and also her brilliant lyrics writing skills. She's more than a pretty ( very pretty) face... She's talented af

When they started body rolling- my face almost broke from smiling.

ya’ll a whole mess 😭 this was so much fun to watch, always looking forward to your reactions!

Maria came out before Chungha that you are referring to! this song has killed the charts let me tell you, she be still getting wins with this haha loved how she did this song to express herself, share her struggles, and console herself as well. Maria is her baptism name! Thanks so much for this reaction, loved it!

Hwasa is a legend. All of Mamamoo are legends. Maria actually happened to be one of those songs I liked on my first listen. Could you do a double feature on Exo’s Wolf and Growl.

"which one their all fine" y is that so me 🤣

literally screamed when I saw this in my notifs. Been waiting for your reaction to María!! I know you guys love Hwasa ❤ love you all!! from PH

Can y'all relax a bit with the same request you've made on 10 different videos. How about supporting their original music so that they can get many more opportunities? Remember reacting isn't their full-time job. Please be considerate. Thank you

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. 'Maria' went viral in China and is still burning on the biggest music chart, plus after almost 2 months is still 2nd on iChart in South Korea (a chart about the overall positionon major charts of the nation). She co-wrote and co-composed 5 songs out of 7 of this album…an amazing album with powerful collaborations, a Queen like always.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good they all look Yasss queens and kings in the building...!!!!🌺🌺🌺💖💖💜

I love how you were appreciating low register voices!!! I live for them since they're not that common in kpop and Hwasa's voice delivers everytime!

The dancers instas 😏 Long haired: @_e.jo One with the tattoo: @choi_jun_young_

To touch on what dizz was saying how hwasa's mv looking like which im assuming thier talking about chungha's Play mv, makes sense but technically it's the other way around. Hwasa's Maria mv came out on June 29th while Chungha's Play didn't come out until July 6th, so I'm assuming the similarities between the 2 girls looks and concept was just a coincidence. But of course to each their own opinion. (:

y’all the only youtubers I don’t be skipping the intros for its such a bop

Loved this reaction. Song is 🔥 I feel like when Zaks away you three are even naughtier 🤣🤣 Zak come deal with these three please 🤣🤣🤣 Also I duno what’s been going on in these comments. I am definitely a person that’s been hounding Leah for a reaction 🙈 but never in a horrible way and really hope it’s never come across like that. I fully appreciate that you guys are busy as hell and have sooo many requests. I am NEVER disappointed!! Just grateful you take the time out to do these in the first place. Sending lots of love from 🇬🇧

Appreciate Dizz's speech at the end about comparisons, kpop fans can get so butthurt over stuff like that when in every other genre (especially hip hop) it's completely normal. Comparisons create fun conversation and help quantify how you feel about an artist, so relax yall 😂

I’ve never clicked on a video this fast I’m so excited 😆

I love Hwasa I think she’s so original and absolutely beautiful, plus her voice is so unique . Mamamoo is so underrated I love seeing the members get love. Also I feel you Dizz Hwasa makes me question my sexuality too lol

Aaaaahhh Hwasa my queen ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍 thanks for this video, love you all❤️ Monroe between these two omg 😂😂😂

And this is why her and Hyolyn are my ultimate biases. They are so unapologetic. That, and their voices are like Honey. Ugh, I love this woman. 😍

I'm legit scrolling through the comments to see if anyone knows what happened to Zak. Please tell me. I wanna know if he's okay

MONROE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I'm just falling in love with her, again. She's such an angel. 😔💖

Thank you for reacting to this video!! You guys are so funny and always make me laugh 😂

Everyone knows exactly which back up dancer Monroe is referring to. Also! If you want a really good deep dive into what this song is about, check out DKDKTV's explanation. They do a great job breaking down the symbolism and meaning behind everything.

One of my biggest regret will always be her promotion being shortened because of Hwasa injuring her back just a week before the comeback because THIS SONG DESERVED. Btw she slayed every single live stage she did so we stan a queen

yall give me life hahaha, I love the energy and the real reviews!

Waaaaaa!!!!!! I was definitely waiting for this reaction. Been refreshing your channel everyday for this. FINALLLYYYYY!!!!!!!! ^_^

I think Monroe and I had a same crush to whoever "He's so fine is". He's super fine tho, I've been looking at him in their Music Bank performances. Haha

I only love seeing them react out of all reaction people, they are real and you can tell they really care about kpop 💕💕

I've been quietly watching you guys' reaction videos but this one really got me laughing out loud. love y'all😂😂😂

Yeees I was waiting for this reaction! So happy :)

I hope you guys check out the lyrics to this song. They’re not crazy deep or anything but I feel like they were immensely personal for Hwasa. I love how she didn’t fear speaking the truth of her experience nor did she fear being vulnerable and encouraging herself in the chorus. I just feel like the process of making this song was a healing one for her. ☺️💜

Hey, I know you guys have been through or still going through and will be getting more and more of toxic comments but all I wanna say is- I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS, I LOVE YOU GUYS, and that's what matters.

Thank you for such an amazing and amusing reaction! Y’all were making me laugh so hard 🤣 look forward to more reactions and more music from y’all in the future! Imma go back to streaming your music and doing my homework. Y’all are fantastic and I love y’all! 💕

Other reactors: God its so lit Meanwhile them: *checking out the hot back up dancer*

I LOVE YOUR INTRO SO MUCH!!! IT'S SO CATCHY!!!

finally been waiting for this reaction video

The funny thing is this reacting coming out before Chungha's Play, but you guys referencing it in the video 🤣

In case you didn't know, Hwasa & Chungha are good friends and they collaborated on an award show dance performance last year. Here are the obvious flaws with the comparison of Maria and Play: * Maria was released on June 29; Play was released on July 6. Neither girl was copying the other. * Just because they each ate an apple doesn't make Sleeping Beauty like Eve. Here are some suggestions and things to think about that you may find helpful: Since nobody disagreed with Dizz it seems like you all missed the point of the things mentioned as comparisons. Chungha and Hwasa's use of red hair, milk bath and latin pop were completely different. Unlike their single, straightforward use or value in Play, each item has a symbolic flip side in the Maria MV: Red Hair vs Black Hair; Milk Bath vs Blood Bath; Latin in the bridge section vs the genre blend in the rest of the song. Maria is a very complex MV and nobody could be expected to figure it out on the first view but try to put the Chungha associations aside when you go back and watch it again. If you want a shortcut, David Kim's DKDK-TV explanation video of Maria and LMM (another song from Hwasa's new album) helps with the Korean language and cultural aspects of the song and he gives thorough and detailed interpretations that you'll find thought provoking even if you disagree with his theories.

Been waiting for this😍😍
