 MAMAMOO’s debut was considered as one of the
best K-Pop debuts of 2014.
They are recognized for their retro, jazz, and R&B concepts
and strong vocal performances.
 MAMAMOO, that girl group who can sing. MAMAMOO, that girl group
with members whose voices match and blend so well. MAMAMOO, that
girl group who always makes their performances fresh. MAMAMOO, that
girl group who has sense. MAMAMOO, that girl group who never ceases to
amaze their audience. MAMAMOO, that TALENTED GIRL GROUP.
\
MAMAMOO is that unique group who can show how talented they are by just
introducing themselves.
The girls stand out among others even upon debut because of their
mature concept. Unlike other rookie groups, they skipped that safe zone
and jumped straight to the risky side of being different. Because of this,
they received a lot of praises for their strong vocal performances and
how they have fun on stage. Despite being different and coming from a
small agency, the girls surely achieved amazing success. Recognized
by respected seniors in the industry, Mamamoo has really made it.
One of the factors for Mamamoo's popularity is their ability
to randomly harmonize. They even harmonize with [+10,822, -95] As expected of

common words or phrases, all with the capacity to still

song rose to no. 1 three weeks upon release.

 MAMAMOO has made their mark in the entertainment industry with the help of Immortal Songs 2. They were
instantly named monster rookies because of their show-stopping performances. Many seniors were shocked
by MAMAMOO’s incredible stage presence and only had praises for them whenever they were on the show.

The girls were invited 13 times from 2015 to 2018 and won 3 times, a
feat any girl group has yet to defeat, and with 433 as their highest
winning score. They were also part of the 2016 King of Kings Special
Episode, along with other legendary artists who shined the most in
IS2 in that year. Their IS2 performances have brought them public
\
recognition and love by all ages and genders.

Not only did they win episodes in IS2, but they also have
their share of wins in other music programs, namely, Two
Yoo Sugarman, Duet Festival, King of Masked Singer. In
Sugarman, they were invited 2 times as a group and 1
time as duo (Moonbyul and Solar) and won all 3 times.
Solar, Wheein, and Hwasa each made to round 2 of King
of Masked Singer, and Wheein won the pilot episode of
Wait a Minute Violet Fragrance Duet Festival. Mamamoo became the second girl group
to have all members participate in King of Masked
Singer when Moonbyul joined in November 2018.

A casual listener of an artist needs to listen to the 1-minute sample of a track first
before deciding to click the download button. But for Mamamoo, this does not
apply. Mamamoo is recognized for their musical diversity. You can name any
genre under the sun and trust them to do all these with justice, without sacrificing
their own Mamamoo
\ color.
This is why the general public coined the word
믿듣맘무 or Believe and Listen to Mamamoo.

“Purple is a color that results from mixing the colors pink and blue. Pink
represents bright and cheerful feelings while blue holds depth and an
intense musicality. We wanted to express the music color that is mixture
of those.”
~Wheein

R&B, and swing vibes amongst Mamamoo isn’t called a genre for no reason!
most female groups. In each of
their songs, even though they
are a group, you can clearly
hear their individuality. Each of
their voices has its own color.
They can be husky in one song
and smooth and cold in others.

There's no limit to
Mamamoo's dynamics!
Bonus: A MAMAMOO song that is unique to them,
totally hyping a crowd of mostly non-fans.
Watch the crowd of a hundred people jump!
 They are not only known for having the best vocals but also for
actively participating in their album production.
Moonbyul, Hwasa, and Solar join in the lyric writing of their title songs
Moonbyul, the main rapper of the group, writes her lyrics for her parts for most of
the time, not only in their official album tracks but also in live performances, i.e., in
Immortal Songs. Moonbyul participated in music writing, along with Solar, for No
More Drama.
Hwasa and Solar are also credited as composers for some tracks (e.g., I Do
Me, Freaking Shoes, My Hometown, Recipe, Star Wind Flower Sun,
Becoming Calm, etc.).
Wheein composed and wrote lyrics for her solo song Moderato, a
sensual R&B track.
BONUS: Watch as our girls project their professionalism here
 At the start of the year,
Mamamoo has released
their single “Paint Me” as a
prelude to their 2018
project series Four
Seasons. The goal of the
series is to showcase
Mamamoo’s maturity in Starry Night Egotistic
music with four albums,
each centered on one
season and its
characteristics(spring,
summer, autumn, or
winter), respective to one
member’s color and
personality.

The winter album is yet to

be released. Wind Flower

 Not only in music is Mamamoo recognized, but also in their relatable girl-next-door personalities.
These are some of the most amazing and funniest clips that showcase Mamamoo as BeagleDols.
“We really love being called Beagle-dols. It’s not a characteristic that is trapped in a box. The keyword has a
nuance that’s full of wild freedom and it shows off our color well. We think it’s a good keyword to introduce
Mamamoo and we really like it.”

Solar has released and staged so many amazing collaborations with
amazing artists in the past years. With different genres, she has shown
that she's one of the most versatile vocalists of her generation. She
collaborated with Luna and Hani for Honey Bee and just recently with
Cosmic Girl for Lie Ya.
Love is You and Make You Feel My Love are one of the most well-
loved Solar covers. Check out Solar's version of Love Yourself and her
Disney Medley (Part of That World, Reflection, and Let It Go)!

Not only a great leader but also a hardworker. Solar has proven time
and again that she’s not just a vocalist but a total performer whose
sole purpose is to be a source of inspiration and healing to her
audience. She tried pole dancing in a short amount of time for one of
their MVs but soon went all out and performed pole dancing while
singing Despacito as her solo production in their 4 Season S/S concert
tour. Solar also showcased to the world her immense talent by pole
dancing in front of ten thousands of people in Melon Music Awards
2018 and MAMA 2018. Watch here a short clip of her practicing pole
dance.
"Unnie is a weird existence."
Solar is not only a great vocalist but also a person with great
personality. She is naturally funny and very spontaneous
especially in variety shows.
She’s always energetic when together with her members, but
she has shown another lovely, feminine girlfriend side of her in
We Got Married.

This profile is also not complete w/o Solar's Sexy Back (Moosical
and Party People performances) and SNL skits. These videos
are totally opposite of each other—Solar for you.
Solar ranked 19th as the most popular idol in 2017 and 2nd as
most searched female idol. In 2018, she was voted 3rd by 11500
participants in ideal type rankings among 256 candidates,
among which Wheein, Hwasa, and Moonbyul also ranked 5th,
6th, and 9th, respectively.
 Solar Emotions is Yongsun's remakes/own versions of her favorite
classics. She has shown expressive emotions and her true colors
through this project.
As a wrap for this, she had her first solo concert on 27 to 29 April
2018, with a follow-up encore concert in Busan on 16 to 17 June
2018. This is by far the fastest concert to be held by a solo member
from third-generation girl groups. Tickets for the 3-day concert
were sold out in seconds.
Not only did she perform the remakes, but she also added cover
songs of different genre, performed her self-composed song Big
Booty for the first time, and showed cute and funny VCRs.
Aside from the other Mamamoo members, Yang Da-il, Cosmic Girl,
and Hwang Chiyeol also made surprise appearances.
Approximately more than 4000 seats were sold in both Seoul and
Busan concerts.

recognized not only by fans but also by other female rappers.
Cheetah once said that she wanted to collaborate with Byul
someday.
Moonbyul is known for her growls while rapping, or for her
Crying Rap. She is so good, spitting fire in each bar, that it is
surprising to know she had been trained to be a vocal at first.
Speaking of, watch here that Um Oh Ah Yeah performance
where Byul sang and the vocalists rapped.

“Usually when I listen to MAMAMOO’s music, I attentively listen

to the rap part. Moonbyul’s rap fits well with MAMAMOO’s
unique color. Unlike other solo or group rappers,
Moonbyul clearly has her own color.”
~Cheetah, 2016

women, with a total of 9356 votes casted. In the 2018 report, she then
ranked 3rd, as voted by 4118 participants (lesbians + bisexual and
pansexual women) totaling to 17,860 votes.

can pull other women’s interest, making everyone who gets to know her
fall in love with her. A certified Girl Crush. Wheein, Solar, and Hwasa also
rank high within Top 15 and then Top 10 in both lists.

“I really like when they say we are talented and I am thankful when they
say that we are pretty but more than anything, I personally really like
hearing that we are the ‘girl crush.’ I feel good when I hear it because it’s
a word that means that we are being acknowledged by fellow girls.”
~Moon Byulyi, 2016
 To date, Moonbyul is considered one of the best
female rappers. This is why it may come as a
shock that she has an angelic and sweet singing
voice. Moonbyul showcased her hidden talent for
singing during their Moosical Curtain Call concert
with self-written song Worthless.

Moonbyul then released her solo debut album on I wanna be selfish; I still have a lot of wishes
23 May 2018, with title track Selfish featuring Red I don’t wanna adjust to the standards of the world

Wheein has been dubbed as the new generation's Queen of
Collabs. Her unique, powerful yet sweet voice is the reason
why she's the most sought-after vocalist for featurings and
collaborations. Most producers compose their songs with
Wheein's voice in mind.

“Whee In’s voice can rupture the space-time continuum.”

~Jungkey, 2017

Anymore is Wheein's most successful collab so far, such that it

topped real-time and daily charts upon release. Wheein recorded
herself thanking the fans and people who listened to it, and she's
so cute. It also won first place in SBS Inkigayo with only digital sales
and no promotion/broadcast. Watch the live performance here.
Wheein’s featuring for Standing Egg, The Sunlight Hurts, also won
Best Indie Song in Melon Music Awards 2015.
 With Moderato, Wheein has shown the great music artist in her. She
composed and wrote the music and lyrics herself. The sensuality in
Wheein's voice adds to the power of the song. Her natural cuteness
can't tell that she can create a song as sensual as this. Check out the
first Moderato performance here. She also showcased another self-
composed song, “No Thanks,” in their 4 Season S/S concert tour.

Wheein is 159 cm, yet she can fill the whole stage with her presence,
voice, and charisma. She performed Short Hair with Jo In Woo in Duet
Festival pilot and became its first winner. She also performed Who's
Your Mama by JYP at King of Masked Singer. Her voice (of course) and
her ability to rap (for a vocalist) left the audience in awe.

BONUS 1: Wheein is gifted in arts. Not only can she sing, dance, and compose
music (and rap), but she’s also talented in visual arts. (There’s nothing she
can’t do.) Watch her sketch pretty girls here and here and here.

 On Wheein’s 23rd birthday, 17 April 2018, she released her
debut digital single Easy (featuring Sik-K).

in the overall making and writing of the song. She was the one
who painted the backdrop of her album cover and had
doodled a magnolia on it.

Hwasa, The Idol Crush
While Moonbyul has many celebrity friends, Hwasa has as many
celebrity admirers. Most of them are enticed with her exotic looks,
sexiness, and incredible talent. To name a few, Nana, Hyuna, and
Loco all confessed their love for Hwasa.
Hwasa must know all these as she grabbed Nana’s hand during a
Mamamoo performance last November 2016. Watch here how cute
Nana’s reaction is. She also became friends with Hyuna and had
listened to Hyuna’s comeback song before release. Loco also
confessed his admiration for Hwasa again on national TV.
Hwasa, The Nation’s It Girl
Hwasa’s I Live Alone episode was a huge hit that not only did her video clips
top Naver TV or news articles of her trend, but it also started a gopchang
craze nationwide owing to her eating show, where she ate deliciously and
with no holds barred. Large number of restaurants had to close for a day as
the dish ingredients ran out.
Because of this, she topped the June Brand rankings among other girl group
members. She also topped December Brand rankings, with her consumer
participation index three times that of the next idol to her.

She’s not the cheesiest member for nothing. In 2017, when
she learned that fans made so many subway ads for her
birthday, she visited every station and taped pictures of
her with letters at the back, so when found, they would
form the sentence “Cuties, I live because of you.”
This Dec 2018, Byul leveled up by organizing a treasure
hunt for moomoos in Namsan Tower. She had customized
keyrings and hid them in bottles. What’s more amazing is
that this event was all shouldered by her financially. An
