Singer Hwasa is drawing worldwide attention after receiving high praise from Jensen Huang, chief executive officer (CEO) of global tech company Nvidia.
On the 7th, the tvN entertainment program “You Quiz on the Block” posted a pre-release video on its official social media announcing Jensen Huang’s appearance. The video includes a scene in which Jensen Huang directly mentions Hwasa, heightening viewers’ anticipation for the main broadcast.
In the released video, Jensen Huang showed his deep K-pop affection when he answered “yes” to a question about whether he enjoys listening to K-pop in his daily life while chatting with host Yoo Jae-seok. In particular, he singled out a specific album as his “favorite,” expressing his keen interest in Korean popular music.
Most of all, Jensen Huang said he is very fond of Hwasa’s music, praising her unparalleled appeal as an artist and prompting surprise on set.
Fan heart that knows even the new song—High praise for both singing and dance
Jensen Huang proved he is a true fan by mentioning not only Hwasa’s signature track “Good Goodbye,” but also the newly released song “So Cute.” In response to his strong praise for the new song, Yoo Jae-seok told him it means Hwasa’s music will once again receive global attention, and he offered congratulations.
Meanwhile, Jensen Huang also evaluated that Hwasa has not only excellent vocal ability but is a great dancer, and he did not hold back his praise for her capabilities as a performer.
Hwasa released the new digital single “So Cute” in April, winning public love with a sweet yet confident charm that contrasts sharply with her existing bold image. With Jensen Huang’s public support added, Hwasa’s global influence is expected to expand even further.
