, asking them to “eat a lot of Korean food and drink vitamins.” She also admitted that their immediate success reminded her of her youth, as she reflected about her own journey in the industry.Known as the industry’s “bad girl” — a nod to her 2013 hit song of the same name, Hyori officially debuted as a member of the now-defunct girl group Fin.K.L. in May 1998.
She eventually re-established her dominance as a singer and actress, with her body of work deviating from mainstream K-pop and more of a closer look into her thoughts as an artist.With her tanned skin and voluptuous body, Hwasa of Mamamoo is seen as an artist who doesn’t fit in South Korea’s conventional beauty standards. Yet she remained firm in her belief that she wants to create her “own standard of beauty” in the K-pop industry.
“When I first posted a ‘no bra’ photo there was a lot of talk about it. I was scared and could have hidden, but the reason I didn’t is that I want to change peoples’ prejudices about that. Part of me also wanted to say: ‘This isn’t that big of a deal,’” she said in response to her “no bra” controversy in July 2019.

Consisting of CL, Bom, Dara, and Minzy, the four-member unit is highly regarded for their powerful stage presence and experimental artistry and fashion style. Their debut song “Fire” set a tone for women in the industry in May 2009, as their concept expanded the conventional girl group image at that time.
