Hwasa (HWASA)'s music video for "Good Goodbye (Good Goodbye)" surpassed 50 million views on YouTube.
The MV, which was released simultaneously on YouTube with the digital single at 6 p.m. on the 15th of last month, exceeded 50 million views around 2:43 p.m. on the 29th amid a steep surge, proving the song's recent hot resurgence in popularity.
Beginning with the question "Is a 'good goodbye' possible?", the warm farewell song "Good Goodbye" MV, which wishes for the other person's happiness, generated buzz when it was released by maximizing the song's charm through the special synergy between Hwasa and actor Park Jung-min.
In particular, at the congratulatory stage of the "46th Blue Dragon Film Awards" held at KBS Hall in Yeouido on the 19th, Hwasa performing barefoot and Park Jung-min's poignant chemistry moved not only the actors and audience at the venue but also viewers, cementing the performance as a "legendary stage" of the awards. Fans who saw the performance praised it, saying, "Hwasa is a true artist," "she turned a live awards show into La La Land in an instant," and "every scene is cinematic."
Since then, "Good Goodbye" began topping major domestic music charts such as Melon Top 100 and Hot 100, as well as Bugs and FLO, from the morning of the 22nd, the 38th day after its release, and as if proving a "syndrome-level" popularity, it still held the No. 1 spot on those charts on the morning of the 29th, enjoying a "long run" following its "reverse climb."
Regarding this popularity, on the 23rd Hwasa posted on Instagram, "Thank you for loving 'Good Goodbye.' Above all, thank you to senior Jung-min for becoming the wonderful breakup boyfriend. Thank you for being with me until the end at unforgettable beautiful moments and meaningful occasions," and expressed gratitude, saying, "I think of the many friends who shared a good goodbye with me. The support and encouragement they gave me while working together made me braver and guided me on a good path."
Earlier, Hwasa signed an exclusive contract with P NATION, headed by PSY, in June 2023 and has continued active musical activities since. After changing agencies, she has established her stature as a unique female solo artist by presenting assertive music, from "I Love My Body (I Love My Body)" and "NA (Na)" to "Good Goodbye."
