"God the outfits WE ARE SO BACKKK," a fan commented.
"So I really love the part coming down the stairs. Hoping for a vibe like that throughout," another fan wrote.
Fans also have high hopes that this album will help the 29-year-old star gain international recognition, as they firmly believe in her potential to excel on the global stage.

Hwasa gives a glimpse of the NA music video in new teaser
The 18-second teaser of NA begins with the singer-songwriter descending stairs in a sleek, bodycon brown dress complemented by a long flowing train. She then captivates viewers with her dance moves in a coordinating outfit, followed by a dramatic white dress.
The video also features her strolling through the streets, occasionally braving the rain in the middle of the road. At one memorable moment, she casually sips from a cup of tea while sporting black sunglasses.
Additionally, the Maria singer has released a highlight medley of her second mini-album O on her official Instagram. This video showcases snippets of all six tracks from the album: Road, HWASA, EGO, OK NEXT, Just want to have some fun, and O.
