What is "hawwah"

Hawwah (stylized as ḥawwāh) is the fourth solo extended play (fifth overall) by South Korean singer and actress Gain. It was released digitally on March 12, 2015, and physically five days later by APOP Entertainment (a subsidiary of Mystic Entertainment), and distributed by LOEN Entertainment. Described as a Bible-influenced concept through the singer's understanding as a story, the EP was executively produced by long-time collaborators Jo Yeong-cheol and Lee Min-soo, while having various songwriters contributed to the lyrics.

The album is Gain's first release to be promoted by more than one lead single since her solo debut, and her first EP to be released after her label was merged into Mystic Entertainment. Upon its release, Hawwah debuted and peaked at number five on the Gaon Weekly Albums Chart. The lead singles "Apple" and "Paradise Lost" also became major hits. However, "Apple" received an R-19 rating due to its content.
