In a preview for the SBS show 'My Little Old Boy' airing on the 9th, Hwasa shared her honest feelings regarding the interest Jensen Huang showed by mentioning her music. During the broadcast, Hwasa confessed, "I received more contact than when I won first place on music shows." She added an episode where she was initially bewildered because she did not know who Jensen Huang was at first.

Previously, Jensen Huang, who appeared on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' this past June, expressed his affection for K-pop and called out Hwasa by name. He mentioned Hwasa's songs 'Good Goodbye' and 'So Cute,' saying, "I also greatly love Hwasa's music. Hwasa is extremely charming." He continued, "Hwasa is also a very outstanding dancer and possesses wonderful vocal abilities."

For Hwasa, who usually enjoys bathing, the two visit a bath supply store in Namdaemun Market. Afterward, they are shown visiting 'Deokja-jjim,' a restaurant Hwasa frequents, to enjoy soy-marinated crab bibimbap, Deokja-jjim, gopchang, and gim-bugak.
