‘O’ will notably mark Hwasa’s first body of work since she released her debut solo mini-album ‘María’ in June 2020. The singer first debuted as a soloist in 2019 with the single ‘Twit’, and later released the single album ‘Guilty Pleasure’ in 2021.

‘O’ will also be Hwasa’s second music release since signing with P Nation last year, following the single ‘I Love My Body’ in September 2023. The single was also a response to her public indecency controversy.

In other K-pop news, BLACKPINK’s Jennie has recently signed with Columbia Records, in partnership with her own company, Odd Atelier. As part of the new partnership, Jennie is set to release new music as a soloist as early as this October. The forthcoming single will mark her first solo project since she released ‘You & Me’ in October 2023.
