Hwa Sa is on a chart tear. “Good Goodbye” locks in a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Korea Hot 100 and earns her first No. 1 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart, extending a red-hot run following her viral duet with actor Park Jung-min at the Blue Dragon Film Awards.
The track returns to the summit on the Dec. 13-dated Billboard Korea Hot 100, published Dec. 10, after debuting at No. 1 last week.
Launched Dec. 3 by Billboard and Billboard Korea, the Korea Hot 100 is a domestically focused songs chart that compiles official data from major global and Korean platforms, factoring in streaming and sales to reflect what listeners in Korea are playing most.
The momentum is global, too. On the Dec. 13-dated Billboard charts (local time), “Good Goodbye” rises 2-1 on World Digital Song Sales, marking Hwa Sa’s first leader on that tally.
After entering the Billboard Global 200 at No. 43 last week, the song climbs to No. 32, signaling continued worldwide traction.
“Good Goodbye” exploded after Hwa Sa’s celebratory stage with Park Jung-min at the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards, turning the moment into a full-on cultural phenomenon.
Riding the resurgence, the song pulled off a rare “perfect all-kill” in Korea―hitting No. 1 across six major platforms, including Melon, Genie, Bugs, YouTube Music, FLO and VIBE.
On Circle Chart’s Week 48 of 2025, “Good Goodbye” swept six crowns across Digital, Streaming and BGM, and it also took two music show wins on MBC’s Show! Music Core and SBS’s Inkigayo.
Since signing with P NATION, led by PSY, in June 2023, Hwa Sa has steadily expanded her sonic palette while cementing her status as a singular force in K-pop.
