Hwasa reveals unexpected connection with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang

Singer Hwasa is showcasing her unchanging appetite and signature easygoing charm despite her recently slimmer appearance. Furthermore, she is set to spark conversation once again by revealing an unexpected behind-the-scenes story involving Jensen Huang, the CEO of the global semiconductor giant NVIDIA.

In the SBS variety program 'My Little Old Boy,' which airs on the afternoon of the 9th, a special day in the lives of Han Hye-jin and Hwasa—who have maintained a long friendship despite a 12-year age gap—will be revealed. The pleasant journey begins as Han Hye-jin prepares a customized 'healing course' for Hwasa, who has been busy with her world tour schedule.

Their first destination is Namdaemun Market. For Hwasa, who is so dedicated to bathing that she even keeps her own personal bath basket, Han Hye-jin visits a so-called 'holy land for bath enthusiasts.' The two immerse themselves in shopping, looking at shower towels, exfoliating towels, and various bath supplies that are not easily accessible.

The sight of the two opening their wallets without hesitation while showing interest in every single item brings laughter to the studio. MC Seo Jang-hoon, who also shows extraordinary interest in cleanliness, adds to the laughter by empathizing with their shopping spree, saying, "Even if I went there, I could last for two hours."

However, the true highlight of the day lies elsewhere. The two visit a Deokja-jjim restaurant known to be a regular spot for Hwasa. Hwasa is a 'mukbang star' who has once again brought foods like gopchang, soy-marinated crab, and seaweed snacks into the public spotlight simply by the way she eats them.

On this day, Hwasa's appetite remains as strong as ever. From soy-marinated crab bibimbap to large portions of Deokja-jjim, she reveals her signature mukbang instincts by tasting the food spread before her without hesitation. Contrary to the recent buzz regarding her much thinner physique, she shows no hesitation when faced with food.

The reason Hwasa's mukbang is special is not simply because she eats a lot. While she overwhelms the stage with intense charisma and unrivaled performance, when the camera enters her daily life, she finds happiness in front of food and reveals her honest tastes while chatting with friends. This is also why the gap between 'the star on stage and the human side in daily life' is so warmly embraced by the public.

After finishing their meal, the two attempt another unique way of healing: spending an exotic time burying their bodies in hot earth to relieve fatigue. For Hwasa, who has been moving incessantly due to her world tour, this is expected to be a truly special rest.

Another point drawing attention in this broadcast is Hwasa's anecdote regarding Jensen Huang.

An unexpected connection was formed when Jensen Huang, who leads the global semiconductor company NVIDIA, personally mentioned Hwasa. Hwasa confessed, "I received more contact [from people] than when I won first place on a music show," revealing that she was actually more flustered by the explosive reaction from those around her.

What is even more amusing is that Hwasa did not accurately know who Jensen Huang was at the time. Hwasa's honest reaction—being bewildered even after receiving a 'shout-out' from a global entrepreneur—is expected to draw laughter.

She also reveals that she later sent a handwritten letter to Jensen Huang to express her gratitude for mentioning her several times. A small, unexpected link formed between a global pop star and a world-renowned tech CEO has created an interesting backstory.

For Hwasa, this broadcast is more than just a break. She indulges her tastes to her heart's content at Namdaemun Market, showcases a more honest mukbang than anyone at her regular restaurant, and reveals an unexpected connection with a global entrepreneur.

Hwasa is intense on stage and humble in daily life. Perhaps what the public ultimately remembers is not her constantly changing appearance or glamorous titles, but her honesty in not hiding her desires and tastes. This episode of 'My Little Old Boy' is expected to be a time that shows Hwasa's charm in its most natural form.
