He threatened to fire her!
MOM MOM member Hwasa recently shared the story of his rebellion against his company’s CEO.
On September 17, Hwasa appeared as a special guest on the popular YouTube show, The K-Star Next DoorDuring the episode, the host Jonathan highlighted the singer’s rebellious nature, pointing out a specific incident where she was almost fired as an intern.
Hwasa recalled that she weighed 60kg as a trainee and her CEO ordered her to reduce it to 48kg in order to have a chance to debut. But despite her efforts, she managed to reduce her weight to 49kg.
Even with a difference of just one kilo, Hwasa claimed that her CEO was not satisfied and threatened to fire her anyway.
Angry at this response, she had a “encounter” with him and then proceeded to vent his anger by writing a song, “My Heart.” He then emailed the song to his CEO.What my boss expected to see was an apology,” Hwasa explained, emphasizing how unexpected his response must have been.
Although Hwasa expected to be scolded for making this move, it turns out that her CEO ended up liking her more because of it! When asked if she felt it was difficult to speak up as a female trainee, the “Maria” singer cheekily replied, “I thought it would be cool to try this.”
