"Good Goodbye" is a song by South Korean singer Hwasa. It was written and composed by Hwasa alongside An Shin-ae and Park Woo-sang, and it was released as a digital single on October 15, 2025 through P Nation. A music video for the song was released the same day, starring actor Park Jeong‑min.

Hwasa and Park performed the song together at the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards, which has been attributed for its surge in popularity. In November, 36 days after its release, it achieved its first real time all-kill (RAK) and on November 30, 2025, it achieved a perfect all-kill (PAK), topping all South Korean charts simultaneously.[1] It went on to top both the weekly and monthly charts on South Korea’s Circle Digital Chart. In January 2026, it became the song with the second-most PAKs of all time, behind Huntrix's "Golden", and the song with the most PAKs by a soloist.[2][3]

Background

"Good Goodbye" was announced by P Nation on October 2, 2025, set for release on October 15.[4] It was released as a digital single, alongside an orchestral version of the track featuring South Korean string quartet Duomo.[5]

The song was written by Hwasa alongside P Nation labelmate An Shin-ae, and composed by Hwasa with Park Woo-sang.[6]

Music video

The music video stars Hwasa alongside actor Park Jeong‑min.[7] In it, the pair share scenes at the beach in a happy relationship, contrasted with Hwasa in a car with luggage to symbolise the couple's separation.[8] It was directed by Yeom Woojin.[9]

Live performances

Hwasa first performed "Good Goodbye" at M Countdown on October 16.[10] She continued performances on South Korean music programs until finally performing on Music Bank on October 24.[11] On the October 17 broadcast of Music Bank, she was joined by fellow Mamamoo member Wheein for the performance.[12]

Park Jeong-min joined her performance at the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards on November 20, and the pair recreated scenes from the song's music video. Their performance was regarded as a highlight of the ceremony,[13][14] and has been attributed for the song's surge in popularity.[15]
