No. Unless I didn’t get it Hawking radiation is part of what this looks like to an outside observer. But I would lean on a physicist more familiar with the loop quantum gravity model to explain how these relate.

The bounce idea is super neat because it feels less “magical” than a true singularity. A black hole is just a whole lot of mass stuck in a time dilation tar pit… from our frame of reference.

There are other implications too. From what I read LQG may allow stable micro black holes due to quantum effects dominating at small mass, naked singularities (well not true singularities but regions of off the charts mass energy concentration not hidden behind an event horizon), and Hawking radiation subject to quantum spectral effects similar to how emission spectra work.

It also resolves the black hole information paradox. All the information just bounces back out. Easy.
