[JoyNews24 reporter Lee Ji-young] Singer Hwasa opened up about the bold, unforgettable fashion she rocked during her school days.

Hwasa appeared on the web variety show ‘Salon Drip,’ which premiered on the 7th.

In the clip, Hwasa looked back on her childhood and said, “I was the youngest, born much later, so everyone doted on me — but I was a real handful because I never listened. My older sisters used to joke they’d report me to the show ‘My Child Has Changed.'”

Jang Do-yeon asked, “What made your family stand out?” Hwasa answered, “My fashion. I loved Madonna’s style and idolized Britney Spears and Beyoncé, so I dressed almost like I was wearing stage costumes.”

She continued, “Back then I wore fishnet pieces held together with a garter belt. I paired denim-on-denim with a garter belt to show my individuality. That was during my first year of middle school.” Jang Do-yeon exclaimed, “I didn’t even know what a garter belt was in seventh grade.”

Hwasa said she watched a lot of stage performances and thought, “That’s so cool,” so she used fashion to express herself. She recalled that her sisters would pretend not to know her if they ran into her in town, and her dad would just sigh, “Oh dear, she’s doing that again.”

She also added that sunglasses weren’t common in downtown Jeonju back then, so when she wore them, people couldn’t help but stare.
