#SHOWBIZ: K-Pop star Hwasa suffers burst eardrum during recent tour
SEOUL: K-Pop sensation Hwasa, a member of the popular girl group Mamamoo, has disclosed that she has suffered from a significant hearing impairment following an alarming incident during a performance. The 30-year-old singer revealed on a recent episode of the Crazy Rich Koreans reality show that her in-ear monitor exploded, leading to severe damage to her left eardrum. Hwasa explained that the unfortunate event occurred due to her habit of maximising the volume of her ear monitor to clearly hear the music over fervent fan cheers. "Often when the fans' cheers are very loud, I turn up the ear monitor volume to the maximum level so I can hear the music clearly," she said. Recalling the specific moment, Hwasa said, "While performing in Boston, the device actually exploded, damaging my eardrums and causing me to experience tinnitus." As a direct consequence, she now suffers from hearing loss in her left ear. Adding to the ordeal, Hwasa also endured intense leg pain during the same performance but bravely continued with the show. "It was so painful that I couldn't stand at that time, but I had to continue anyway. I couldn't let the fans down," she added, highlighting her dedication to her fans. The incident took place during the opening night of her debut solo tour, 'Twits', at the MGM Music Hall in Boston, United States. The concert featured a dynamic setlist comprising her solo hits, Mamamoo's popular tracks, and cover versions of songs by artistes who have influenced her career. Hwasa has an impressive solo discography, including the mini-albums Maria (2020) and O (2024), the single album Guilty Pleasure (2021), and chart-topping singles like "Twit." Alongside Hwasa, Mamamoo's lineup includes members Solar, Wheein, and Moonbyul.

You Know These Popular Songs, Here Are Some Underrated Jams From The Same Artists
Okay, we're starting out with Miss Americana herself, because Swifties truly run the world! You know "Cruel Summer", but do you know "But Daddy I Love Him"? Diehard Swiftie or not, I'm sure you've heard more than a few Taylor Swift songs in your time. But Taylor's most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, contains 30 songs, and some are bound to fly under the radar. "But Daddy I Love Him" tells a lighthearted story of a relationship that people don't approve of. It is one of the longer tracks on the album, and it contains a number of lyrics that will make you laugh out loud. It's the perfect song to play during a summer road trip, just be prepared to sing along! If you were on TikTok at all last year, you know "Beautiful Things". Now try Benson Boone's earlier hit, "Before You". We've all screamed along to the chorus of this hit once or twice in our lives. If you like Benson's soulful voice, his earlier hit "Before You" delivers. It has a sweet melody, telling a story of a love that was lost, and boasts the same sing-along factor as all of his other hits. Still dreaming of the "Pink Pony Club"? Listen to one of Chappell Roan's more underrated tracks, "Guilty Pleasure". I swear, everything Chappell Roan releases is a bop. There's not a single track on her album that I don't want to belt in the shower. "Guilty Pleasure" has a catchy chorus, plus it shows off Chappell's phenomenal voice! Dare I say I like it *better* than "Pink Pony Club"? Every summer belongs to Harry Styles, but "Watermelon Sugar" might be a little overplayed by now. Replace it with "Daydreaming"! Nobody loves Harry Styles more than I do (fight me, if you dare), and "Daydreaming" just might be one of my favorites off of his most recent album from---gulp---all the way back in 2022! It has the carefree, summer vibe of Harry's other music, with a catchy intro that's perfect to sing along with. It will truly make you feel like you're living in a daydream! Can't stop singing "Too Sweet" by Hozier? Well, "Someone New" will only get stuck in your head even more! True fans of Hozier will remember "Someone New" from all the way back in 2013, when "Take Me To Church" was Hozier's number one hit. But it most definitely stands the test of time. "Someone New" has an acoustic vibe, with a melody that might get stuck in your head. And don't we all want to adopt Hozier's mindset of falling in love with everyone you're surrounded by, just a little bit? Everyone knows "Espresso", but do you know "Fast Times" from Sabrina Carpenter's 2022 album? This queen cannot make a bad track. "Fast Times" did not get the recognition it deserved when it was first released. It tells the story of a blazing love affair that didn't last for long, and it has the same tongue-and-cheek wit that we're used to from Sabrina. You love that me espresso, but it's time to appreciate the other catchy songs in Sabrina Carpenter's repertoire. You know "Rush" by Troye Sivan? Taste. But "Honey" is even more sweet! Even if you don't know Troye Sivan's music, "Honey" is the perfect addition to your summer playlist. It echoes all of the feelings of discovering a new crush: desire, longing, building up courage to finally talk to the person you've had your eyes on. The synth-pop sound is great for a dance party and a summer barbecue alike. "Vampire" has been stuck in our heads since Olivia Rodrigo released it in 2023. "Ballad Of A Homeschooled Girl" is even more angsty, if you can believe it! Love the anger in "Vampire"? Well, that's only doubled in "Ballad Of A Homeschooled Girl"! This song is great for rocking out to, plus it captures the social awkwardness that we've all felt at one time or another. Olivia Rodrigo knows how to do teenage angst, and we love her for that. Finally, wrap up your summer playlist with "This Song", the newest hit by Conan Gray of "Heather" fame. You might know Conan Gray for his sad bedroom pop, but "This Song" could fit in perfectly with hits by all of the biggest pop artists. It tells the story of a new love, and radiates the pain we've all felt when crushing on someone. Honestly, this song just makes me daydream about someone writing a song like this for me! Did we miss any of your favorites?

This comes after her release of the single Karma and an EP titled Guilty Pleasure with the label last year, reports the Mirror. "JoJo has been dropped by Columbia Records... she self-released her latest song Bulletproof whereas Karma was done with the label. She has been in London on the lookout for a new record company to sign with and playing gigs hoping to impress the right people," a spokesperson shared with the Mail. Regardless of the setback, JoJo's touring schedule remains uninterrupted with US dates continuing later this month, where her new reported boyfriend Chris Hughes expected to be cheering her on from the audience.

JoJo, who recently turned 22, opened up about the close relationship she shares with 32-year-old Chris since they left the reality TV show. During a chat with Capital Breakfast's Jordan North earlier in the week, she expressed her deep affection for Chris. She shared with the host: "You know what's interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together. "And this house is earthquake proof, and it's fireproof, and bulletproof. And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it's like... You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him." When Jordan enquired if Chris was her "happy place," she enthusiastically confirmed. She continued gushing over the former Love Island star: "Oh my god, absolutely! We're having the best time. He's just the best! "I was saying this to my parents the other day. Like, I'm decently nice; he makes me look like I'm mean! And I'm like known for being nice, that's the thing. People say to me, 'Oh, you're so nice'. "He makes me we want to be nicer, because he's such a nice human. He's the best egg in the batch! I could never get tired of speaking highly of him, he's just the best."
