Apologies if anyone's mentioned this already: she's calling herself Maria because that's her baptismal name. But there might be a Korean verb that sounds similar, in which case it would be smart wordplay.
Yeah, she also uses the line "neol wihan mariya" (널 위한 말이야), which is translated here as "these words are for you". "말" means "words". So it is indeed quality wordplay...
@@pops4963 Christians must have biblical names. if your birth name is already biblical than your Baptismal name will be the same for ex. im named after Saint Elen so i don't need Baptismal name . Hwasa's birth name is Hyejin so she was given a biblical name after baptism :)
Your interpretation of the "dance break", I will call it that, makes a lot of sense. In the M/V we see two Hwasas, one with red hair and one with black hair. There are various references to an Italian movie called Malena (if I'm not mistaken), in this movie a woman with red hair lives in a small village without a partner and she is considered the most beautiful woman, making men lust for her and the rest of the village women hate her. The cigarette scene is also a reference to the movie, where Malene had a bunch of men offering her a lighter. We can see Hwasa being more free and daring when she has red hair. For me, red-haired Hwasa is who she is today, a woman who is proud of herself and decided to not gather to societies norms, even if she gets hate, and even if it hurts, she won't let herself suffer because of it. And black haired Hwasa is who she was when the hate, press, negative attention and failure left her in a dark place. In the lyrics she says to herself "Don't struggle, you are already beautiful" and I think that realizing that was what made her confident and express herself more comfortably.
Hwas/Maria struggled alot cuz eveyone was juddging her through her physic and telling that she will never succed and she is not beautiful/white/fit .... Hwasa fighted everything to achieve his dream to be a gorgeos artist .. luv her so much she's so strong and charismatic
i love how aaron's reactions are not just a flat video of the mv and it ends, he really tries to understand the artist and the lyrics, everyone should be like him
I’m really glad Aaron isn’t the kind of guys that always thirst over Hwasa because every time i see that in a reaction, I just get fed up cause you’re reacting to a music video to hear the song, look at the lyrics and identity the meaning and style. I know that people tend to show how beautiful the woman is and that’s ok but I hate when they thirst because it kinda disrespectful for women sometimes. Anyway great reaction Aaron! I always rush to see your reaction LS because I love your honesty and you take you time to understand the song.
Aaron I hope u read this but MARIA actually her catholic baptis name. So this song is to encourage herself because since her debut she got many hates because they way she looks the way she acts. Even mamamoo also got many hate that's why they really close together and their fans called momoo always there to support and protect them. For ur information, even thought mamamoo is a girlband, but majority of their fans are female. Because they bring many issues of feminism and woman empowerment when this topic is really taboo in south korea. If u know south korea have many scandal about woman and the recently one is the Nth room cases. That's why feminism movement very load these days in south korea.
She is talking about herself and all the Marias in this world, this song and her album meant to consult people who are struggling and conflicted so I am glad you got the message of her music
I love your analysis on the sudden disconnect of the song. You nailed it. You will also notice in the MV, that when the song suddenly changed the red becomes very prominent, not how it was used in the earlier part of the mv. Now the shade looks like it's the color for passion & rebirth.
Hwasa wrote this song and co-wrote hip. Random: Hip was the first song where they used head mics instead of hand mics. Hwasa and the rest of mamamoo are great singers. The other two members are Wheein who was on the right and Moonbyul on the left. I am so grateful you reacted to this song. Peace and I hope you're doing well💜
Please get in to MAMAMOO more, i know you love good vocals and these girls have one of the best vocals as a group in this industry, they debuted 2014 so there is so much Mamamoo content to watch, they are amazing, so talented, humble, down to earth people, please dont sleep on them, you will really like them when you get to know them! :)
I really love how attentive you are to literally everything in the video, I've seen a lot of reactions and they either dont notice or are very dismissive of quite a lot, so it's a bit frustrating. Lol, but I love your reactions,,
I enjoyed watching this reaction video entry of yours. You are just so witty! You got most of the interpretations correct! I also love your calmness while reacting. It makes m relaxed.
About the crown, I just thought of this. It kind of reminds me of the saying “tough as a nail” and “hard as a diamond”. And since you said metaphor I was think what if it had to do with that. With the meaning of the song and the things that occurred to Queen President Hwasa , what if it stood for how one’s mind must try to be when dealing with the grittiness and ugly bias of mass media
looooved your reaction to this song. It's so easy to fall in love w it cus its just such a good song. I do hope you can react to Hwasa Maria album :) thankyou so reacting to Maria :) Ps. your interpretation for the dance break also made me think differently too. thanks for that haha
Aaron, I can always count on you to give the best, most truthful, and most detailed reactions. Many reactors didn't even look at the lyrics and barely said anything other than how they thought that Hwasa looked pretty. You will always be the best kpop UA-camr in my book.
Hwasa tiene un talento especial, es una mujer muy inteligente, avanzada para la sociedad en que vive, por eso tiene muchos detractores, sin embargo ella ha demostrado una fuerza interior que la ha ayudado a enfrentarse a ellos. Su carisma , sensualidad, belleza, simpatía aunado a su inteligencia, ha dado como resultado que la admiren y respeten. I love Whasa 😘
not mine, i found it written in another video by @mari cndl but i think everyone should read it: 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 other member of mamamoo at the end show that she has amazing support group and friends that help her thru her bad times which is super cute and shows how close they are
Apologies if anyone's mentioned this already: she's calling herself Maria because that's her baptismal name. But there might be a Korean verb that sounds similar, in which case it would be smart wordplay.
Yeah maria also means "sayings" So she says Maria first as her name then adds with the korean meaning of maria
Yeah, she also uses the line "neol wihan mariya" (널 위한 말이야), which is translated here as "these words are for you". "말" means "words". So it is indeed quality wordplay...
@@onnesha *mariya
Aaron her christian name is Maria, so yess she's talking to herself! Love your reaction💕
Sorry if my question is stupid but what is christian name?
@@pops4963 Mm I don't know a lot about that😅 but it refers to a personal religious name given to a child in the moment of his/her baptism.
@@milefernandez4924 oh, thanks :)
Baptismal name*

Yes, Maria is her Christian Name and “mariya” used in neol wihan mariya is a Korean word which means ‘word’

When you look to hwasa's life and see the lyric for this song idk... but make me cry

Maria is Hwasa maiden name hence her title track is Maria
