Former Mamamoo member Hwasa has unveiled the playful first music video teaser for her new single "So Cute," raising excitement for her solo comeback on Apr. 9.
P Nation confirmed that Hwasa will release the digital single "So Cute" on Apr. 9 at 6 p.m. KST through major online music platforms.
This marks her first comeback in about six months since "Good Goodbye," which topped charts and became a major hit in South Korea. The agency began ramping up promotions at the end of March, posting teasers and countdown images across its social media channels, according to Allkpop.
The first teaser video, shared via P Nation's official accounts, shows Hwasa sitting alone at a table, lost in thought, while children play around her with toys such as recorders and hula hoops.

A short vocal clip of Hwasa saying "So cute" and a brief melody from the track play over the scene, adding to the quirky and slightly mysterious mood. The teaser ends by flashing the release date and time, "2026.04.09 (THU) 6 PM KST," clearly signaling her return.
New visual posters released in early April also highlight the concept of the comeback. In the D-3 countdown poster, Hwasa appears in a casual floral outfit with a chic expression, framed by hand-drawn illustrations on the wall that emphasize the "cute" but sophisticated theme. These images suggest she will show a fresh side of herself while keeping her confident stage persona, Star News Korea reported.
"So Cute" follows the huge success of "Good Goodbye," which earned Hwasa multiple music show wins, Circle Chart crowns, and a long run at the top of domestic digital charts.
With this new single, she is expected to further strengthen her position as one of K-pop's leading solo performers. Fans are now watching closely to see what musical style and performance Hwasa will present when "So Cute" finally drops next week, as per Soompi.
