Hwasa has raised alarm among her fans after revealing a surprising health issue: she’s struggling with hearing loss in one ear.
In the latest episode of Crazy Rich Korean on KBS 2TV, fans were given a behind-the-scenes look at Hwasa’s North American tour, where the artist candidly shared her ongoing health challenges.
On the 20th day of her tour, just before her performance in Boston, Hwasa appeared visibly tense. It was soon revealed that she was dealing with throat issues, which were affecting her overall condition.
“This has been the toughest part of the tour,” Hwasa admitted. “That day, I honestly felt like I was getting sick. I was worried about my health. It was my biggest concern.”
Park Se Ri empathized, noting, “Fatigue really starts to pile up as the tour nears the end.” Hwasa added, “New York was freezing cold.”
A True Professional: Performing Through the Struggles
Despite feeling unwell, Hwasa showed up to the venue and made sure to conserve her voice, greeting the staff before jumping into rehearsals.
Her hoarse voice was noticeable, and after the rehearsal, anxiety over her health prevented her from eating properly.
To make matters worse, a previous foot injury began flaring up again. Footage showed Hwasa applying a bandage to the painful foot.
When asked about pushing through injuries, Park Se Ri shared, “It’s common among athletes. We usually push through, thinking it’s not a big deal. We often use temporary fixes like taping. The show must go on, and that’s the toughest part.”
Hwasa’s Alarming Revelation: Hearing Loss in Left Ear
Known for her high-energy performances, Hwasa showed no signs of slowing down during rehearsals.
When asked which cities were the hottest during her tour, Hwasa named Seattle and Los Angeles.
But then, Hwasa made a shocking health revelation. “The crowd was so loud that I cranked my in-ear monitor up. Even then, I couldn’t hear. Turning it up risks tinnitus and eardrum damage. I had to push it to the limit, and the in-ear monitor broke.”
When Kwak Tube expressed concern, asking, “Doesn’t that mean your ear is damaged?” Hwasa responded, “That’s why I can’t hear well in my left ear.”
A surprised Jeon Hyun Moo then asked, “Was it from this performance?” Hwasa clarified, “No, it’s not just from this. I need high volume to hear properly, so my eardrum is somewhat damaged. I constantly hear tinnitus.” Her honest admission left viewers feeling both concerned and sympathetic.
