Review: Hwasa Lights Up Toronto with Her First-Ever Canadian Show

On Tuesday, April 1st, K-pop star Hwasa took the stage at Toronto’s HISTORY for a sold-out, unforgettable night, and her first-ever performance in Canada. Bursting onto the stage with a fierce confidence, she opened with “HWASA,” “Chili,” and “TWIT,” supported by a powerhouse team of dancers. “After this, there’s going to be one show left,” she told the crowd. “I was thinking maybe that I would be tired and run out of energy, but it feels like the start!”

What made Hwasa’s show especially memorable was her authenticity. With no script and plenty of heartfelt moments, she paused between songs to chat with fans and share her gratitude. Halfway through the night, the screens lit up with her signature mukbang series—this time, featuring a visit to Toronto’s Ozzy’s Burgers. The video ended with a stop at 7-Eleven, where she stocked up on Lay’s Ketchup Chips, declaring her love for the Canadian snack and the city that welcomed her so warmly.

From covers of Beyoncé’s “Diva” to Britney Spears’ “Toxic,” and her own hits like “Maria,” Hwasa delivered a genre-blending performance that balanced stellar choreography, powerhouse vocals, and raw sincerity. Her final message resonated deeply with fans: “I always trusted myself and I didn’t doubt, so even if something seems impossible, I make it possible. So I hope that you all also believe in yourselves too.” Hwasa’s performance wasn’t just a concert; it was a night of connection and celebration that Toronto won’t ever forget.
