Mamamoo was the first group to debut from their company RBW, they built that small company up with their talent. They are the Queen’s of RBW and the reason why the company is famous for vocally talented idols and trainees. Because of Mamamoo, when the RBW company name popped up for Produce shows, like Produce 48, the first thing that came to the other trainees and the Teacher’s minds was “Vocal talents have joined us.”
Yes, they're great friends and have several songs about their unity, which is expressed in the fandom motto Never Letting Go. They believe they were fated to be best friends even if they weren't singers or in a group together. The youngest members Wheein & Hwasa have been bff since middle school and the older members Solar & Moonbyul are almost inseparable. I think you're correct about team chemistry - imo it's the secret sauce that takes MMM's talent to the next level. Mamamoo was the first group to debut under a startup label called Rainbowbridge World (RBW). With little money, staff or resources the girls had to do a lot of things by themselves and they were called "self-sown idols" in Korea because from the beginning they were involved in all creative aspects of their career including songwriting, choreography, styling and MV concepts. Though they're not as famous globally their story is similar to BTS in many respects. Though they're primarily performers the members have dozens of songwriting credits as lyricists and composers with Moonbyul having the most since she writes all of her rap verses. They've co-written some of their biggest hits and written several songs for their fans (esp Solar) and they often write their own solo songs. Each member has a successful solo career on the side - Mamamoo was the first kpop group to have all members chart on Billboard as solo artists while the group was still active as a unit.
They have lots of credit in lyrics expecially Moonbyul the rapper she writes her all her own rap they participate a lot in their music the other member too have some in composition they are the type of artist that teds to participate in their music in this sense
Can't say I agree about Solar's first high note. I'm no expert so it might be off key but I still love it! I laughed when you were worried about her next one... 🤣 glad she changed your mind! These girls are crazy talented I love them and love seeing people appreciating them! You should see Solar singing Adrenaline!
I agree with you, I was really surprised when she said it. I'm a singer too and nothing about the note seemed off to me. I've gone back and listened to it over and over again and even when I'm looking out for a flaw I still cant hear one, I might be wrong but I really can't hear anything wrong in that note and normally with an off note I feel it viscerally like nails down chalkboard. I feel like if she had explained why the note was off and then sung how she would have done it it would have felt more like useful and interesting constructive feedback and commentary, rather than a flat, kind of rude dismissal. I've never seen this channel before and it didn't leave me with a great first impression at all. I don't expect or want reactors to lie and say they like something when they don't, but she came across as quite arrogant, lacking in humility and tact.
@@loftyradish6972 I watch this channel all the time and I swear no one is ever hateful I think the comment just sounded kind of blunt and maybe more snarky than meant to bc she definitely recognized the girls talent all the rest of the video. I would like a why she didn't like it though like what sounded off about it cuz I really don't hear it
@@tracisr :) I agree, I definitely don't think it was intentionally sarky or hateful, just came out badly (and hey, I do that all the time, lol). I left a comment asking, seems like it is more a personal preference. This is their reply :) "Agreed! Maybe next time I film Ceecee she’ll explain but funny enough Albert wasn’t fond of the note either if you check his reaction. It’s not my favourite either, I think it’s the slide and the notes she reaches does not sound in tune with the horns. It’s hard to describe but compared to the “I feel good” or “I miss you” belts, there’s a difference for sure since they’re quickly on pitch as oppposed to that glissando which felt slightly slower and can sound flat since they took a bit longer to reach the end goal note. Could all be subjective too. Hope that helps"
@@loftyradish6972 It went _just_ a hair flat, which affected the rest of the run. Maybe not even truly flat, but _right_ at the underside of the pitch. It can happen to even the best sometimes, especially when the accompaniment goes tacit under you. Sufficient passion usually makes up for going a little off the rails ;) That Koko3op caught it speaks to how good her ear is.
Something to remember: "lead" in kpop parlance is _second_ to "main", and not to be confused with "the group leader"; in this group, Solar is both leader AND main vocal. The "main" gets the biggest, flashiest parts (high notes, adlibs, solo dance break, etc.), a "lead" will have smaller solos, adlibs, or form a "line" with main plus other leads (if any, depends on size of group). Wheein and Hwasa are leads in Mamamoo, but could be mains elsewhere if matched with lesser talent. Even Moonbyul, the rapper, could hold her own as a lead vocalist elsewhere at the very least...she's got talent and skill, but she needs more practice to be a true main vocal, her power and endurance are a trifle low.
Yes I am aware of the differences indeed. I just wanted it to be clear that although she happens to be the leader and a main vocal, the other two leads are pretty strong and on equal footing as opposed to other main vocalists in other groups where the difference is much clearer.
I don't think moonbyul has endurance as main issues, it's just that her breathing technique needs more practice because sometimes she is out of breath mid rap/song
That's kind of interesting, because Moonbyul was a vocalist first and then was encouraged to go down the rap route later. Her vocal range is much lower though, but I think that's a strength and not a weakness.
@@Sofkatt Yepp, only their rap line has official positions. But I think they mean what the netizens think. Solar and Wheein are slotted as main vocals and Hwasa as lead vocal by non-fans, from the "ranking" videos I've seen.
Mamamoo's slower songs tend to fit into the cafe vibe that Micah dislikes 😘 or fit into the OST sound that tends to be frowned upon. They could do 3-4 more Killing Voice medleys with different themes(Japanese tracks, CFs, OSTs, etc) tbh. I'm hoping Dingo brings them back for at least a banger b-side medley. We need some love for Baton Touch, Midnight Summer Dream, My Star, Destiny, and like a million other song. Also, they didn't sing Woohoo or Gleam and those are bops. The best part about Mamamoo is that they could all do solo Killing Voice performances and those would be equally as iconic. I need to hear Moonbyul sing the acoustic version of Love & Hate live! Everyone knows that Wheein and Hwasa were school friends but it's worth noting that Wheein and Moonbyul have a prior connection. They met at another company and would have probably debuted together. Solar is really the outlier in the group. She had actually decided to stop pursuing music if the audition at RBW wasn't successful and become a flight attendant(Solar has the certification for it!). It's ridiculous how many female idols were going to be flight attendants if music didn't work out! 😂
To add to the above, Moonbyul said she would have been a police officer, Wheein said she would have been a photographer or artist like her mother, and Hwasa said she would be unemployed if she wasn't a singer.
I see you discovered moomoos favorite video reaction: Killing Voice! And especially for people that are new to Mamamoo. This reaction was really good, she really appreciated the group as a whole and not only their musicality, but their friendship and cuteness 🥰, also my girl Moonbyul received the appreciation she deserves but sometimes reactors forget to give enough of! And of course, Hwasa remains someone noticed by all reactors in your channel, and how could you not ❤, she's a queen with a soulfoul voice, she's gotten her fame as a soloist as well for a reason. Nice reaction as whole! And honest as well, when she called out the note she thought wasn't perfect, which is appreciated :)
A lot of their songs were fully or partially written by MoonByul, she's the 2nd most credited female idol in the kpop industry of ALL TIME (they're called KOMCA credits), she also used to choreograph most of their early stages and the girl can also sing (you can check out her cover of 'Trying to Say Goodbye' if you want to listen to her belting range). Your opinions were honest and it made me happy that you picked up their funny vibe. Let's hear it for more MAMAMOO content!
MAMAMOO are ready to enter your musical hearts in the US ;) From May 16th to June 4th they will give 9 concerts in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Fort Worth Texas, Nashville, Baltimore, Oakland and co... These girls made it from the bottom to the top because of their talent, passion and special personalities. They are not a typical K-Pop group. Musically they have a wide discography, starting with jazzy, retro and r&b produced by successful korean musicians and producers, startet in a small company. Always with a bit of fun, their special magic comes when they perform in front of an audience and heat up the atmosphere with their voices. Between them and their fans called 'Moomoo' it's a bit of a soul connection, but especially between them. Don't miss this rare chance to see them. They come for the first time. ;) ps: Musically, I can recommend going deeper into the 4 season 4 color series. It is holistic in concept and a nice idea. Kick-off with the song 'Paint me' With good headphones it gives me always shivers ;)
YESS PUT SOME RECOGNITION ON MOONBYULS NAME!! THANK YOU but also for giving your honest opinion ! I hope you could show her the immortal songs medley:)
We know they weren't picked for their looks.. they have told us that even their company said to them "you all arent pretty so you need to work hard"... (idk who could tell that bc all of then are gorgeous) they faced a lot of discrimination... "you arent young enough, you arent skinny enough, you arent pretty enough" ... And they created their own standar beauty and prove the talent they have💜
Yup. they write their songs. :) they lived in 1 rooftop studio since trainee days till their debut. And being the only and first girl group of the small company, they only rely on each other, so that is why they treat each other as family. Even Wheein moved to a new company as a soloist. Their family photo is ... *tears*.
They don't really speak English, though I think Solar's learning. They did do an interview on the Zach Sang show in the US (minus Wheein IIRC), so _maybe_ you saw that..? 3:15 Not to make excuses for her, but I think _part_ of the reason the note kinda missed is that that's not _normally_ how the song ends; she usually goes into a full jazzy flourish ending, but she cut it short to go into the next song, and she may not have thought through exactly how she was going to do that... 🤔 5:53 "It's my shining night..." That was a pun. The Korean title of Starry Night is a literal translation: Star (Byul-i) Lit/shining (bich-na-neun) Night (bam). Except her _name_ is Byul-i, so it's also Byuli's Shining Night, so... look, just roll with it, okay? 😜 6:05 They really _are_ best mates. As others have said, Wheein and Hwasa were at school together, and actually moved to Seoul together, auditioned together, and eventually debuted together. Solar and Moonbyul don't have the childhood connection, but they're basically inseparable, too. If you check out Solar's own TH-cam channel Solarsido (where she spends most of her time trying new things at the suggestion of her subscribers, aka Yong-wangs), a good chunk of the time you'll also find Byul there as her partner-in-crime (invariably referred to as "Colleague 1" 😂). And then even _since_ debut, they've been together for over seven years now, and developed an unshakable bond between the four of them. A couple of their recent songs (especially Destiny) have explored the idea that they're destined to be together, and even if they hadn't become Mamamoo, they feel like they'd still have found each other one way or another. 7:50 With the exception of Solar, they _all_ have tattoos, but Wheein most prominently so (12 at last count), and several friendship tattoos shared with others (including Hwasa). And they don't write _all_ their own music, but as time has gone on, they've all taken the role on more and more. I don't remember the specific stat, but Byul in particular has a _huge_ tally of lyric credits to her name. 9:15 _This_ song. They performed a version on Queendom dedicated to their fans, MooMoos, and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house... 11:00 Quick note: _Hwasa was ill_ when they did this... 😏 11:35 Now you see why MooMoos _really_ love 'em. They're _unashamedly_ daft. 🤣
Solar (second from the left) is the group leader and Hwasa (on the end to the right) is the maknae (youngest) of the group. They're all super talented. I just love these girls.
Love how she remembers your bias w/the noodles 😂 Love how she comments about u seemingly translating their Korean 😂😂 Love her makeup, esp the multichrome shadow she used in the inner corners of her eyes; they match the aesthetic of ur room 💜💜💜 I enjoy when u have CeeCee over, her insight is welcomed 🙌
I think I came across them about 4 or 5 years ago, my first sing was Piano Man, a jazz song and it hooked me. The more I listened and read on this group, in my opinion they are trend setters and strong strong women. They "were/are" not thought of as beautiful for KPop. I strongly disagree with this as each of these women are lovely in their own way. HWASA especially, but she said she would be her own standard of beauty. IMHO, these 4 ladies should be admired for everything they have gone through and are doing.
I have no complaints for this reaction. But some comments like protesting about the lack of expression and no pause situations. To be honest, this is a great reaction. I found it genuine and even though you didn’t pause, it didn’t ruin the flow. Like, I can tell some reactions were made up, just to make fans happy. But I like this reaction so much better.
Thank you Annisa! I think a lot of people come and project their own frustrations with life into TH-cam comments by being mean tbh cos it’s never that deep lol
Moonbyul writes all her own raps and Solar and Hwasa have contributed songs, but their principle songwriter is the co-founder and co-CEO Kim Do Hoon. He was a successful songwriter prior to founding RBW, so he knew a lot of people in the business.
kinda expected a more vocal perspective comments since it says singer in the title which is a bit disappointing, but i guess its on me for expecting its a reaction video after all not a review
When she said Rihanna, I was like holy shit cause the person Hwasa look up to is The Queen Rihanna. She takes inspiration from Rihanna. Please react to Mamamoo MAMA2018 Full Performance
I actually did thought that Solar's belt on Mr. Ambiguous was a tad off-key, but hadn't had the courage to say it out loud since no reactors I've watched pointed it out so I though I was wrong (since i'm not in any place to say it being someone who isn't musically an expert). But I'm glad that she said it in a respectful way and you know she knows what she's talking about, it's in her opinion as a professional.
"Respectfully", she outright dismissed it, didn't even explain further. She probably didn't mean it, but it felt rude. But yeah, the honesty was a bit resfeshing.
iirc the RBW CEO said mamamoo don't directly produce their own stuff, but input a lot of their own opinions to the producers. And Moonbyul writes most of her own raps
They write and compose a lot of their stuff thought, they are the highest credit group in their generation and second in total! And yes, Moonbyul is the woman most credited in her generation ❤ and third in all generations!! But not producing no, they have writing and composing credits, which is different. And even when they don't write or compose, they have a lot of input, also truth.
Could you react to dingo killing voice Ailee? She an amazing vocalist even called the Korean Beyoncé, also there's a collection of covers she performed at some competition between celebrities like "Georgia on my mind " and "I will always love you "
PLEASE REACT TO HIGHLIGHT'S KILLING VOICE, HIGHLIGHT'S It's Still Beautiful, Sleep Tight and Take Care. You may also react to Beast's Ribbon, On Rainy Days and 12:30. Highlight is known to be one of the best groups in Korea when it comes to vocals and live performances. Even their main vocalist is the highest ranking idol in King of Masked Singer in Korea.
Interview in English. I'm thinking BP? RBW was literally built by mamamoo, they were literally 4 girls with vibe that most people didn't really appreciate. Look at them now
I believed the girls wrote a few songs in their individual albums and some in their MAMAMOO albums but I think Moonbyul wrote all her rap part in their songs
As a singer, can't say i agree that that note by Solar was off? i also watch a fuckton of reaction videos and this is the first one where i've seen anyone claim it wasn't on.
Ngl when people aw groups as if they’re not grown and haven’t gone through literal training for their profession it gets under my skin😭😭😭 js doesnt sit right. Dont think ive ever heard anyone point out solars note before frfr. Edit: i mean in terms of awing their talent, not actions💀
Could you please explain what you didn't like about Solar's note at the end of Mr Ambiguous. I'm a singer too and I have listened to their killing voice multiple times and even when trying to find a flaw in it, I still can't hear the flaw you identified. Normally I feel off notes like I would feel nails down a chalkboard but Solar's note didn't strike me as flat or sharp, and to my ear it sounded good and fit with the song. Is this a matter of preference, did you just not like the choice of note, or was there actually something wrong with that note? If you were to sing that song, how would you have sung it? Constructive, detailed feedback and criticism is much more interesting (and tactful) than a straight up dismissal of "its wrong" with no explanation or reasoning. :)
Agreed! Maybe next time I film Ceecee she’ll explain but funny enough Albert wasn’t fond of the note either if you check his reaction. It’s not my favourite either, I think it’s the slide and the notes she reaches does not sound in tune with the horns. It’s hard to describe but compared to the “I feel good” or “I miss you” belts, there’s a difference for sure since they’re quickly on pitch as oppposed to that glissando which felt slightly slower and can sound flat since they took a bit longer to reach the end goal note. Could all be subjective too. Hope that helps
@@Koko3op Awesome, thank you. That explains it really well and I now can see what you mean and why some people might not enjoy it. It is the sort of thing I really love in music, I like those moments that make you a tad uncomfortable and almost worried about what is coming next only for it to work out. I listen to a ton of jazz like Menuhin and Grappelli's duets and compared to what those two get up to on their violins, Solar's slide was very tame. XD
@@loftyradish6972 Ooooh this makes a lot of sense if you're into a lot of jazz. I do like that tension too sometimes cos it makes it even more satisfying when it resolves in a perfect cadence.
@@Koko3op Yeah, when it is done well it is incredible, I think that is what I love about it too, those moments of tension and discomfort that are resolved and the more you listen and get used to how different it is, the more beautiful it becomes. I have recently fallen in love with two jazz violinists Menuhin and Gappelli, they do duets together, one playing from a music score, and the other improvising. The music is unpredictable and playful and romantic and there is this kind of boundless energy, joy and youth to it that I can't get enough of. But it has those moments where some people could see "flaws" and "mistakes" because it is so atypical, but those moments have such incredible character and are part of what makes it so beautiful.
Wannabe experts getting offended that she didn't like the first high note 🙄. Tbh i have heard other reactors saying Solar strains her vocal cords when doing high notes and i can see that too. Don't know how long she can keep it up without doing permanent damage.
Honestly sometimes I do get SLIGHTLY worried for her as well. A lot of other idols strain their voices when they sing too. But when I look at things on the flip side, the fact that she has still been able to sing for so long shows the immense care and effort she puts in to keep herself healthy.
In my opinion, I feel like a lot of K-Pop stans watch reaction videos (the ones that do reactions to K-Pop videos), in order to get see if the reactors will like their faves’ music AND to get some sort of validation through their positive words (if that makes sense).
To be honest, although i only listen to Mamamoo and Blackpink- generally the members in ALL kpop group are all talented in their own ways. Even the visuals got into the group because the have some semblance of ability. You don't get to debut after training for 3-7 years (or more) without gaining sound ability. I think this is why i feel kpop is such an interesting genre. You may think they are artificially put together or created but the process of putting them together involves a lot of hard work, training, sweat , tears and blood. And in that process only the best of the best get to debut. U can look up a random unknown small kpop group and still find talented members in the group. edit: I also feel the need to highlight whether the artist are song writers or not are quite irrelevant in kpop, because each kpop members are picked for their strengths be it dancing, singing, rapping, song writing, etc. Unlike the west where song writing credit seem to be all important, to me in kpop i think its just another cogs in the production. K-pop is so good at leveraging talents in the right area to come up with an absolute banger of a finished product which makes more sense actually... why force yourself to write if someone else write better, etc.
This was such a great reaction, thank you so much for doing it!! 💖 I too always thought Solar's first high note was a bit off (especially comparing it to the studio version), and I'm glad to know I wasn't just imagining it! Please don't mind the nasty comments by the 5-year-olds, they think the world is at their feet. Keep doing you! 🥰
No it’s not. I’m not Wikipedia and I’m not sure why you expected that of me. I do a pretty good job but I can’t answer EVERYTHING out EVERY group on my channel, are you okay? Also sometimes it’s better for the actual fandoms to answer and engage with the reactor. If I answered everything it’s be boring wouldn’t you think?
@@Koko3op I personally appreciate content creators who actually do a bit of a research and not depend on fans to answer everything for them. It's painful to hear "i don't know" so many times. Better to just not talk to the reactor.
Then go and enjoy other channels who know every fact about every artist then and also, I’m also just recently discovering some of these groups myself and learning with my reactors also as I react on this channel and I’m not going to speak on things I don’t know so that I’m harassed by rabid fans in the comments if I get someone’s age wrong. Im not going to pause the reaction whilst scrolling for information either as it ruins the flow and adds gaps which people also dislike. TH-cam is not a walk in a park, you can’t please everyone.
Not everyone has an encyclopedia's worth of knowledge about these groups. Part of this channel is watching and listening to different groups and artists as a way to learn about music you hadn't previously listened to. What's really off is the tone of this comment. You could've came with constructive criticism stating something like "it'd be nice if you could do a little primer with the reactor at the start of the video with general info on the group " vs what you came with. Maybe taking a breath, clicking the back button to be on your way might better serve you. 🤷🏿♀️
omg this is the brand new reaction! they have a great Q&A time without listening to it while music plays. the final step of the reaction development! so touched. that's so much to me, big thx to you 😊 guest : rude & ignorant host : just idiot
Sorry but I'm 5 minutes in and she has hardly made a facial expression or even said anything except to criticize a note I've never heard anyone else criticize. I'm not going to finish watching this reaction because I'm not going to watch 20 minutes of someone sitting with a blank face not saying anything about their singing.
So if someone also hates pausing and another wants commentary during a reaction... what do you i recommend I do to please you all? :D ... Also are you aware that most people can listen to music and talk at the same time?
@@Koko3op there is nothing wrong with pausing to give ur opinion on things. And there’s a difference between hearing and listening. You’re hearing them sing but not actually listening to them when y’all talk over it.
@@NakamotoYutaismyhusband How do you know that though? There's another comment here saying the complete episode that "there was no reaction/talking or critique in the first 5 minutes" LOL so people really do take things in seperately. There's not as much to hear as you think when you're used to listening to music as a musician which we both are. And as I stated, some people absolutely hate pausing. You can't satisfy everyone. This may not be the channel for you in this case.

Mamamoo's slower songs tend to fit into the cafe vibe that Micah dislikes 😘 or fit into the OST sound that tends to be frowned upon. They could do 3-4 more Killing Voice medleys with different themes(Japanese tracks, CFs, OSTs, etc) tbh. I'm hoping Dingo brings them back for at least a banger b-side medley. We need some love for Baton Touch, Midnight Summer Dream, My Star, Destiny, and like a million other song. Also, they didn't sing Woohoo or Gleam and those are bops. The best part about Mamamoo is that they could all do solo Killing Voice performances and those would be equally as iconic. I need to hear Moonbyul sing the acoustic version of Love & Hate live!
Everyone knows that Wheein and Hwasa were school friends but it's worth noting that Wheein and Moonbyul have a prior connection. They met at another company and would have probably debuted together. Solar is really the outlier in the group. She had actually decided to stop pursuing music if the audition at RBW wasn't successful and become a flight attendant(Solar has the certification for it!). It's ridiculous how many female idols were going to be flight attendants if music didn't work out! 😂
To add to the above, Moonbyul said she would have been a police officer, Wheein said she would have been a photographer or artist like her mother, and Hwasa said she would be unemployed if she wasn't a singer.
I see you discovered moomoos favorite video reaction: Killing Voice! And especially for people that are new to Mamamoo. This reaction was really good, she really appreciated the group as a whole and not only their musicality, but their friendship and cuteness 🥰, also my girl Moonbyul received the appreciation she deserves but sometimes reactors forget to give enough of! And of course, Hwasa remains someone noticed by all reactors in your channel, and how could you not ❤, she's a queen with a soulfoul voice, she's gotten her fame as a soloist as well for a reason. Nice reaction as whole! And honest as well, when she called out the note she thought wasn't perfect, which is appreciated :)
A lot of their songs were fully or partially written by MoonByul, she's the 2nd most credited female idol in the kpop industry of ALL TIME (they're called KOMCA credits), she also used to choreograph most of their early stages and the girl can also sing (you can check out her cover of 'Trying to Say Goodbye' if you want to listen to her belting range). Your opinions were honest and it made me happy that you picked up their funny vibe. Let's hear it for more MAMAMOO content!
i thought she was 1st in being credited?
@@radishmoomoo2471 yes this comment was written 2 years ago...
@@hyacintheribes9507 ah yes, completly missed that 😅
“Do some of them speak English.”
“Beryyyyy tall.”
“Now, my bae is, watermelon.”

Love Cece's reactions. She's really thoughtful and explains her opinions really well
I like that you didn't fake reactions and just you chilling and listening to them .... this real and honesty i admire 🥰
MAMAMOO are ready to enter your musical hearts in the US ;) From May 16th to June 4th they will give 9 concerts in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Fort Worth Texas, Nashville, Baltimore, Oakland and co... These girls made it from the bottom to the top because of their talent, passion and special personalities. They are not a typical K-Pop group. Musically they have a wide discography, starting with jazzy, retro and r&b produced by successful korean musicians and producers, startet in a small company. Always with a bit of fun, their special magic comes when they perform in front of an audience and heat up the atmosphere with their voices. Between them and their fans called 'Moomoo' it's a bit of a soul connection, but especially between them. Don't miss this rare chance to see them. They come for the first time. ;)
ps: Musically, I can recommend going deeper into the 4 season 4 color series. It is holistic in concept and a nice idea. Kick-off with the song 'Paint me' With good headphones it gives me always shivers ;)
YESS PUT SOME RECOGNITION ON MOONBYULS NAME!! THANK YOU but also for giving your honest opinion ! I hope you could show her the immortal songs medley:)
the only thing she mentioned about moonbyul is that she didn't like her rapping...
@@j.l.5836 mmm idk where that was said but she said she "enjoyed the rapper" 6:30 so maybe you misheard?
@@theAllycat797 she said "i don't really enjoy the rapper" there...?
We know they weren't picked for their looks.. they have told us that even their company said to them "you all arent pretty so you need to work hard"...
(idk who could tell that bc all of then are gorgeous) they faced a lot of discrimination... "you arent young enough, you arent skinny enough, you arent pretty enough" ...
And they created their own standar beauty and prove the talent they have💜
Yup. they write their songs. :)
they lived in 1 rooftop studio since trainee days till their debut. And being the only and first girl group of the small company, they only rely on each other, so that is why they treat each other as family. Even Wheein moved to a new company as a soloist. Their family photo is ... *tears*.
They don't really speak English, though I think Solar's learning. They did do an interview on the Zach Sang show in the US (minus Wheein IIRC), so _maybe_ you saw that..?
3:15 Not to make excuses for her, but I think _part_ of the reason the note kinda missed is that that's not _normally_ how the song ends; she usually goes into a full jazzy flourish ending, but she cut it short to go into the next song, and she may not have thought through exactly how she was going to do that... 🤔
5:53 "It's my shining night..." That was a pun. The Korean title of Starry Night is a literal translation: Star (Byul-i) Lit/shining (bich-na-neun) Night (bam). Except her _name_ is Byul-i, so it's also Byuli's Shining Night, so... look, just roll with it, okay? 😜
6:05 They really _are_ best mates. As others have said, Wheein and Hwasa were at school together, and actually moved to Seoul together, auditioned together, and eventually debuted together. Solar and Moonbyul don't have the childhood connection, but they're basically inseparable, too. If you check out Solar's own TH-cam channel Solarsido (where she spends most of her time trying new things at the suggestion of her subscribers, aka Yong-wangs), a good chunk of the time you'll also find Byul there as her partner-in-crime (invariably referred to as "Colleague 1" 😂).
And then even _since_ debut, they've been together for over seven years now, and developed an unshakable bond between the four of them. A couple of their recent songs (especially Destiny) have explored the idea that they're destined to be together, and even if they hadn't become Mamamoo, they feel like they'd still have found each other one way or another.
7:50 With the exception of Solar, they _all_ have tattoos, but Wheein most prominently so (12 at last count), and several friendship tattoos shared with others (including Hwasa).
And they don't write _all_ their own music, but as time has gone on, they've all taken the role on more and more. I don't remember the specific stat, but Byul in particular has a _huge_ tally of lyric credits to her name.
9:15 _This_ song. They performed a version on Queendom dedicated to their fans, MooMoos, and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house...
11:00 Quick note: _Hwasa was ill_ when they did this... 😏
11:35 Now you see why MooMoos _really_ love 'em. They're _unashamedly_ daft. 🤣
I said mama mama moooooo🎶🎶
Solar (second from the left) is the group leader and Hwasa (on the end to the right) is the maknae (youngest) of the group. They're all super talented. I just love these girls.
Love how she remembers your bias w/the noodles 😂
Love how she comments about u seemingly translating their Korean 😂😂
Love her makeup, esp the multichrome shadow she used in the inner corners of her eyes; they match the aesthetic of ur room 💜💜💜
I enjoy when u have CeeCee over, her insight is welcomed 🙌
They are queens!!! Thank u for reaction
I think I came across them about 4 or 5 years ago, my first sing was Piano Man, a jazz song and it hooked me. The more I listened and read on this group, in my opinion they are trend setters and strong strong women. They "were/are" not thought of as beautiful for KPop. I strongly disagree with this as each of these women are lovely in their own way. HWASA especially, but she said she would be her own standard of beauty. IMHO, these 4 ladies should be admired for everything they have gone through and are doing.
If she wants harmonies then please react to their immortal song medley 🙂
I would cry if there was ever a Mamamoo x Rihanna collab especially with Hwasa.
No fix position vocally in Mamamoo. They're good in all way
I have no complaints for this reaction. But some comments like protesting about the lack of expression and no pause situations. To be honest, this is a great reaction. I found it genuine and even though you didn’t pause, it didn’t ruin the flow. Like, I can tell some reactions were made up, just to make fans happy. But I like this reaction so much better.
Thank you Annisa! I think a lot of people come and project their own frustrations with life into TH-cam comments by being mean tbh cos it’s never that deep lol
Hwasa loves Rihanna so much, she sings alot of her songs in her solo stages and any karaoke opportunity lol Riri and Bey are her biggest influences
Ceecee will honestly love Big Mama’s Killing Voice performance!! Harmonies and range for days
fun facts hwasa was actuall sick durring this and still sounds so good
I agree a Rihanna collab would be really fucking cool.
Wheein 🥰
Moonbyul writes all her own raps and Solar and Hwasa have contributed songs, but their principle songwriter is the co-founder and co-CEO Kim Do Hoon. He was a successful songwriter prior to founding RBW, so he knew a lot of people in the business.
Yeeeeeah my Queens ❤️
kinda expected a more vocal perspective comments since it says singer in the title which is a bit disappointing, but i guess its on me for expecting its a reaction video after all not a review
Hold uppp ceecee is a singer as well? Love her dedication to omarion btw😌
Also hwasa is just snatching your peeps left n right lol
Yuppp!! All my friends do multiple things and i LOVE IT! Omarion??? stop are you teasing cos she referenced Taeyang?!
Hwasa really is!
@@Koko3op not my fault that he used to be in his omarion baggg! I cant stop myself
@@mi1125 HAHAHAH we are the same
Hwasa was actually sick that day-But still preformed
I would love to see her react to Lee Hi! She also was on the same channel Dingo
When she said Rihanna, I was like holy shit cause the person Hwasa look up to is The Queen Rihanna. She takes inspiration from Rihanna. Please react to Mamamoo MAMA2018 Full Performance
I actually did thought that Solar's belt on Mr. Ambiguous was a tad off-key, but hadn't had the courage to say it out loud since no reactors I've watched pointed it out so I though I was wrong (since i'm not in any place to say it being someone who isn't musically an expert). But I'm glad that she said it in a respectful way and you know she knows what she's talking about, it's in her opinion as a professional.
Always trust your instincts. Both of my reactors weren’t fond of it lol
"Respectfully", she outright dismissed it, didn't even explain further. She probably didn't mean it, but it felt rude. But yeah, the honesty was a bit resfeshing.
Girl your inner corner highlight
Rihanna number 1 fan is Hwasa, that's what Hwasa said haha
iirc the RBW CEO said mamamoo don't directly produce their own stuff, but input a lot of their own opinions to the producers. And Moonbyul writes most of her own raps
They write and compose a lot of their stuff thought, they are the highest credit group in their generation and second in total! And yes, Moonbyul is the woman most credited in her generation ❤ and third in all generations!! But not producing no, they have writing and composing credits, which is different. And even when they don't write or compose, they have a lot of input, also truth.
Could you react to dingo killing voice Ailee? She an amazing vocalist even called the Korean Beyoncé, also there's a collection of covers she performed at some competition between celebrities like "Georgia on my mind " and "I will always love you "
Hands up for Mamamooooo!!!!
PLEASE REACT TO HIGHLIGHT'S KILLING VOICE, HIGHLIGHT'S It's Still Beautiful, Sleep Tight and Take Care. You may also react to Beast's Ribbon, On Rainy Days and 12:30. Highlight is known to be one of the best groups in Korea when it comes to vocals and live performances. Even their main vocalist is the highest ranking idol in King of Masked Singer in Korea.
YES
hwasa and wheein are actually childhood friends which i find is so cute 🥺
Sauce is the right word!
Interview in English. I'm thinking BP?
RBW was literally built by mamamoo, they were literally 4 girls with vibe that most people didn't really appreciate.
Look at them now
I believed the girls wrote a few songs in their individual albums and some in their MAMAMOO albums but I think Moonbyul wrote all her rap part in their songs
👑👑👑 MMM 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Curious to see how she'd react to BIGMAMA's Killing Voice. Would you please get her to check out these legendary group next?
As a singer, can't say i agree that that note by Solar was off? i also watch a fuckton of reaction videos and this is the first one where i've seen anyone claim it wasn't on.
Right?!
Yeah they all write music and have solo albums, Moonbyul (the rapper) has a beautiful singing voice.
Finally! Some Hwasa and Mamamoo love!
Pls react to their immortal songs medley . You’ll love it 😍
whasas growing up idol or inspiration is rihanna and beyonce
Ngl when people aw groups as if they’re not grown and haven’t gone through literal training for their profession it gets under my skin😭😭😭 js doesnt sit right. Dont think ive ever heard anyone point out solars note before frfr.
Edit: i mean in terms of awing their talent, not actions💀
Could you please explain what you didn't like about Solar's note at the end of Mr Ambiguous. I'm a singer too and I have listened to their killing voice multiple times and even when trying to find a flaw in it, I still can't hear the flaw you identified. Normally I feel off notes like I would feel nails down a chalkboard but Solar's note didn't strike me as flat or sharp, and to my ear it sounded good and fit with the song. Is this a matter of preference, did you just not like the choice of note, or was there actually something wrong with that note? If you were to sing that song, how would you have sung it? Constructive, detailed feedback and criticism is much more interesting (and tactful) than a straight up dismissal of "its wrong" with no explanation or reasoning. :)
Agreed! Maybe next time I film Ceecee she’ll explain but funny enough Albert wasn’t fond of the note either if you check his reaction. It’s not my favourite either, I think it’s the slide and the notes she reaches does not sound in tune with the horns. It’s hard to describe but compared to the “I feel good” or “I miss you” belts, there’s a difference for sure since they’re quickly on pitch as oppposed to that glissando which felt slightly slower and can sound flat since they took a bit longer to reach the end goal note. Could all be subjective too. Hope that helps
@@Koko3op Awesome, thank you. That explains it really well and I now can see what you mean and why some people might not enjoy it. It is the sort of thing I really love in music, I like those moments that make you a tad uncomfortable and almost worried about what is coming next only for it to work out. I listen to a ton of jazz like Menuhin and Grappelli's duets and compared to what those two get up to on their violins, Solar's slide was very tame. XD
@@loftyradish6972 Ooooh this makes a lot of sense if you're into a lot of jazz. I do like that tension too sometimes cos it makes it even more satisfying when it resolves in a perfect cadence.
@@Koko3op Yeah, when it is done well it is incredible, I think that is what I love about it too, those moments of tension and discomfort that are resolved and the more you listen and get used to how different it is, the more beautiful it becomes. I have recently fallen in love with two jazz violinists Menuhin and Gappelli, they do duets together, one playing from a music score, and the other improvising. The music is unpredictable and playful and romantic and there is this kind of boundless energy, joy and youth to it that I can't get enough of. But it has those moments where some people could see "flaws" and "mistakes" because it is so atypical, but those moments have such incredible character and are part of what makes it so beautiful.
Question... was the note sang in the same way in the studio version?
Wannabe experts getting offended that she didn't like the first high note 🙄. Tbh i have heard other reactors saying Solar strains her vocal cords when doing high notes and i can see that too. Don't know how long she can keep it up without doing permanent damage.
Honestly sometimes I do get SLIGHTLY worried for her as well. A lot of other idols strain their voices when they sing too. But when I look at things on the flip side, the fact that she has still been able to sing for so long shows the immense care and effort she puts in to keep herself healthy.
In my opinion, I feel like a lot of K-Pop stans watch reaction videos (the ones that do reactions to K-Pop videos), in order to get see if the reactors will like their faves’ music AND to get some sort of validation through their positive words (if that makes sense).
I love mamamoo
They are the cutest Their height 159-160 cm TINY hahaha
Please... somebody can say for me the name of introduction song???? Forgive my bad english
I just wanted to point out that Solar definitely wasn’t off pitch in that first song.
oooh i love the idea of a rihanna x mamamoo collab :D
i want to know from a singer's perspective about nam woo hyun's Calm and Passion
To be honest, although i only listen to Mamamoo and Blackpink- generally the members in ALL kpop group are all talented in their own ways. Even the visuals got into the group because the have some semblance of ability. You don't get to debut after training for 3-7 years (or more) without gaining sound ability.
I think this is why i feel kpop is such an interesting genre. You may think they are artificially put together or created but the process of putting them together involves a lot of hard work, training, sweat , tears and blood. And in that process only the best of the best get to debut. U can look up a random unknown small kpop group and still find talented members in the group.
edit: I also feel the need to highlight whether the artist are song writers or not are quite irrelevant in kpop, because each kpop members are picked for their strengths be it dancing, singing, rapping, song writing, etc. Unlike the west where song writing credit seem to be all important, to me in kpop i think its just another cogs in the production. K-pop is so good at leveraging talents in the right area to come up with an absolute banger of a finished product which makes more sense actually... why force yourself to write if someone else write better, etc.
Hwasa gives me Rihanna vibes. Love them
She's the first person that I've seen honestly rate this. . .missed notes and all
Most of their songs are composed or co-written by them
Big Mama - Killing Voice for next her reaction please .

Lol solar lang sakalam❤️
This was such a great reaction, thank you so much for doing it!! 💖 I too always thought Solar's first high note was a bit off (especially comparing it to the studio version), and I'm glad to know I wasn't just imagining it! Please don't mind the nasty comments by the 5-year-olds, they think the world is at their feet. Keep doing you! 🥰
Please react to mamamoo immortal songs medley
Kinda off that you can't even answer 90% of her question about the group.
No it’s not. I’m not Wikipedia and I’m not sure why you expected that of me. I do a pretty good job but I can’t answer EVERYTHING out EVERY group on my channel, are you okay? Also sometimes it’s better for the actual fandoms to answer and engage with the reactor. If I answered everything it’s be boring wouldn’t you think?
@@Koko3op I personally appreciate content creators who actually do a bit of a research and not depend on fans to answer everything for them. It's painful to hear "i don't know" so many times. Better to just not talk to the reactor.
Then go and enjoy other channels who know every fact about every artist then and also, I’m also just recently discovering some of these groups myself and learning with my reactors also as I react on this channel and I’m not going to speak on things I don’t know so that I’m harassed by rabid fans in the comments if I get someone’s age wrong. Im not going to pause the reaction whilst scrolling for information either as it ruins the flow and adds gaps which people also dislike. TH-cam is not a walk in a park, you can’t please everyone.
Not everyone has an encyclopedia's worth of knowledge about these groups. Part of this channel is watching and listening to different groups and artists as a way to learn about music you hadn't previously listened to.
What's really off is the tone of this comment. You could've came with constructive criticism stating something like "it'd be nice if you could do a little primer with the reactor at the start of the video with general info on the group " vs what you came with. Maybe taking a breath, clicking the back button to be on your way might better serve you. 🤷🏿♀️
Mamamoo's record label is small with 0 power and influence.
She's probably seen BP before, MMM doesn't promote internationally :/
Please react to Highlight Killing voice 👍🏻

Pls react to hyunjins aotm performance 🙏
Sorry but I'm 5 minutes in and she has hardly made a facial expression or even said anything except to criticize a note I've never heard anyone else criticize. I'm not going to finish watching this reaction because I'm not going to watch 20 minutes of someone sitting with a blank face not saying anything about their singing.

Can y’all pause when y’all wanna talk? Like y’all both literally talking OVER them🙄
So if someone also hates pausing and another wants commentary during a reaction... what do you i recommend I do to please you all? :D ... Also are you aware that most people can listen to music and talk at the same time?
@@Koko3op there is nothing wrong with pausing to give ur opinion on things. And there’s a difference between hearing and listening. You’re hearing them sing but not actually listening to them when y’all talk over it.
@@NakamotoYutaismyhusband How do you know that though? There's another comment here saying the complete episode that "there was no reaction/talking or critique in the first 5 minutes" LOL so people really do take things in seperately.
There's not as much to hear as you think when you're used to listening to music as a musician which we both are. And as I stated, some people absolutely hate pausing. You can't satisfy everyone. This may not be the channel for you in this case.
Too much talking over the singing. :/
Too much phoniness.. yikes!
Off key?! Ummmm ok girl🙄
