I live for a queen who can slay with a message, and Hwasa (as well as her fellow Mamamoo members) are those people for me. I don’t even have to think twice when I see that they are coming out with a new album. It just slides its way into my cart, and then it magically appears at my door. This is how Hwasa Guilty Pleasure 1st Single Album ended up in my life. Keep reading to find out what comes with the album, my thoughts, and where you can pick up a copy.
Things to know about the Hwasa Guilty Pleasure 1st Single Album:
Released on November 24th, 2021, Hwasa released Guilty Pleasure with the lead single “I’m a B (I’m a 빛)”. Through the lyrics of this track, Hwasa wanted to apologize to all of those people who are important in her life that she wasn’t able to see because she was working too hard. Interestingly, with this track, if you take the title track in English, it says she’s a mean, crazy person. In Korean though, it says that she’s a light, the light of her own life.

This photobook is something from another planet. For a single album, this thing is massive. It’s just as big as the Hwasa Maria album. On top of that, Hwasa knows how to deliver when it comes to giving the people what they want: lots of extras. This isn’t just a photobook with a photo card. There are stickers too! I’m living.
If you want to watch me fangirl, I do also post reactions on my YouTube Channel. I have posted one for Hwasa Maria, which you can watch below:
Where Can I Buy It?
I picked up my copy of this album Music Plaza LA. You can get a copy here for $29.99, plus shipping. Additionally, if you have never used Music Plaza before, this link will get you an extra 5% off of your first purchase! You can also order a copy of the album from eBay, as they typically have good prices. This link will help you with your search. Plus, with eBay, you can save a little bit of money by using the Rakuten extension on your browser, as it will save you 2% on all album purchases, which definitely adds up.
What is Rakuten?
Rakuten is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Rakuten, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over $80 back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!
If you’ve never used Rakuten before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using Rakuten. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from. Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Ulta typically has 3%. These are just some of the companies on the website, but there are other major retailers on there as well!
Rakuten also has a Google Chrome extension that will tell you as soon as you log onto a site that has cashback with a little pop-up in the corner so that you can ensure you are saving money!
Can I get it on Amazon?
Yes! You can pick up a copy using this link for about 30 dollars, with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime. If you don’t have Amazon Prime, you can get a 30-day free trial using this link here. I will not lie, the free 2-day shipping, plus all of the free music and videos are totally worth it. I also now use it for books for my Kindle Paper White too, and it is honestly a lifesaver. They have a program called Kindle Unlimited where you can check out 10 books at a time, read them, and put them back in the Kindle library. The program costs $7.99 a month, and you get the first 30 days for free with this link.
