  1. I am so happy for Brazilian moo moos, that video they made where they introduced themselves in Portuguese and said "te amo" was so cute I died. Also as a Spanish speaker the end made me melt even more.

     

    Kind of random, but what do you guys think of the petition some moomoos are working on sending to RBW's stylists. If you do not know, apparently some people want Moonbyul and Wheein to get better stage and award outfits because as of lately they have been "lacking." In my opinion it is kind of rude because we do not know how their styling is decided. Hwasa mentioned during Starry Night promotions that she bought her own outfits so what if the same applies to the other members and we are basically telling them their styling sucks lol. Al this point each member just wears what they like and just try to match the theme of the song instead of the typical group outfits where they are all similar.. that's the way I see it.

    I saw that too and I agree

     

    To me it was rude and disrespectful because some of the things they were "pointing out" that were "unflattering" were actually their style and what they wear off stage during fan signs or in the airport or on their variety show appearances. They all like to experiment with different styles (when it comes to both music and fashion) and I honestly don't see a huge gap between Wheebyul's and Hwasun's outfits- all are always hit or miss.

     

    I rant a lot about Hwasa's makeup (the overlined lips lol, usually on my ig or in the private conversations with my friends) but I'm not going to start a whole petition. They will get it figured out eventually and enjoy their stages instead of focusing on the outfits.

  2. Ahhh this is so good and completely different from what I expected based on the teasers. This is 100% a song that grows on you (judging from the sound and structure etc) and it gets better and better each time you listen to it!!!

     

    I’m literally living for the mourning widow attire with the middle eastern vibes.

     

    Am I the only one who noticed how when Soyeon licks her hand that’s dripping in blood it’s the exact same as HyunA does in Lip&Hip live stages? (I’m on mobile now so can’t provide photos or anything uwu)

  3. omg the nerdy puzzles-obssessed hamster is back in action and fully charged lol la.gif

    what on earth could she be doing indeed?! la.gif #PonytailByulyi ahmagahplz.png

    if you look closely it seems like she's designing the outfits. The hints could be the mannequin, the book says "fashion", there's loads of thread and fabric scissors. It's kinda hard to see but the middle paper from Byul's perspective looks like a jacket (zoom in and rotate it about 180 degrees)

  4. Ahh they are such queens and getting better and better each day!!

     

    I love the NYC video and it really shows how they want to be recognised internationally- half the group are foreign members and only a few months after debut they are already travelling and interacting with international fans and having stages (no matter how small) in America.

     

    Also their U-Go-Girl preformance was amazing ahhh I loved it so much!! 

  5. Kayden411 and cahbr

     

    I am curious...where did you order your albums from because eventho I also ordered somewhere else..my initial order at YESASIA has yet to come and I am searching alternatives.

     

     

    Yo, I used to use YesAsia and ktown4u etc but they really REALLY flopped with quality and delivery (months almost to deliver and damaged goods each time).

     

    I found a Korean seller/shop on eBay where it counts towards Hanteo and Gaon and have been using it ever since. Zero disappointment.

     

    Also, Amazon UK here have juuuust started stocking Mamamoo but I don't know if it counts towards Hanteo or Gaon

     

    I order mine from kpopmart.com and the shipping is really QUICK never had any issues and it's packaged really well and they include posters in a poster tube if you want to (you can choose it while ordering). I live in the UK and the shipping takes around 2 weeks? sometimes maybe less? definitely recommend. Also all the sales count towards Hanteo

  6. i have literally 2 brain cells but very good grades and people think i'm smart and then they ask me to do shit (like teachers to get something or find someone etc) but i'm clueless and am literally lost and feel awkward asf

  7. Mamamoo eras- first half of the 4 Seasons Project (2018). Yellow Flower & Red Moon

     

     

     

    8. The first album in the 4 seasons project is Yellow Flower and it is believed that it's about Hwasa. The title track for the album is "Starry Night"

     

    9. The 2nd album in the 4 seasons project is their most recent one- Red Moon. It's believed to be about Moonbyul. The title track "Egotistic" sounds a lot like Latin music and it helped Mamamoo get a lot of recognition internationally.

     

     

     

     

    Ahhhh I tried my best to really quickly explain all the eras without making it too long I hope you enjoyed this and new moomoos might find it helpful hurrplz.png

     

     

    Thank you for your help. I know & love all of these songs, Piano Man esp...

    Mamamoo's discography is one of the bests of this gen, if not the best. Their vocals alone can save even the most tragic songs...

    Ahhh definitely agree and no problem smile.png

    Hi, a newbie MooMoo here. I'll be thankful if you recommend me some of their variety appearances (no mukbangs plz, they make me hungry) & update me about their latest/upcoming activities. I've been away due to OH's tag issues. Please take care of me !!!

    Hello!! And feel welcome and don't worry too much- just enjoy the fun of it all smile.png

    Mamamoo always brings something new with each comeback and thus creating different "eras"

     

    First 3 Eras (2014-2015):

     

     

     

    1. Their debut- Mr Ambigous / Hello ep

     

     

    2. First Comeback in 2014- Piano Man / Piano Man ep. In this era you can really see their "retro" and jazz influenced style

     

    3. Rise in popularity- Um Oh Ah Yeah (2015) / Pink Funky ep

    As the album name suggests, this comeback was more "funky" influenced and "pop" sound and is best described as "fun" and "colourful". It strongly contributed to the huge rise in popularity they had and helped them gain recognition from the general public. It solidified their position as a group and became kinda viral in korea due to the mv (which featured Moonbyul, Hwasa and Whee In in drag)

     

     

     

     

     

    Eras continuation (2016 Melting + Decalcomanie)

     

     

     

    4. First full length studio album- Melting (2016)

     

    In 2016 Mamamoo came back with Melting- their first full-length studio album which features a more jazz-influenced and retro feel.

     

     

    They released quite a few mvs for the songs in this album

     

    They also released "1cm" which is a song that was inspired by the conversation Whee In and Solar had about who's taller. It's funny because there's only 1 cm between all the members (they all are around 160-163cm tall) and this song is kinda a rap parody (with the parody of Jessi from Unpretty Rapstar at the end too)

     

    5. Decalcomanie (2016) / Memory ep

     

    During this era Mamamoo decided to showcase their sexy and kinda mature side. However, the mv created some controversy (don't feel like i wanna get into why rn oof).

     

     

     

     

     

    Mamamoo eras 2017-2018 (Purple and 4 seasons project introduction)

     

     

     

    6. Yes I Am / Purple ep

     

    In 2017 Mamamoo came back with another ep titled "purple" and the song "yes i am". It sounds more "pop" compared to previous releases and it's about loving yourself and being confident. The mv is great and it showcases their "beagleness"

     

     

    They also later released the mv for "Aze Gag" from the same album. Essentially they made a song with cheesy "dad jokes" and they filmed it an office because in korea "dad jokes" are often associated with older men who often work at an office. The video is hilarious.

     

     

    7. Paint Me and the introduction to the "4 Seasons Project"

     

    In the beginning of 2018, Mamamoo released a single "Paint Me" which shows their powerful and mesmerising vocals and is a some sort of introduction to the "4 Seasons 4 Colors project". In the mv you can see how each Member has their own color which corresponds to the albums they are releasing: Yellow Flower- Hwasa (yellow dress), Red Moon- Moonbyul (Red dress etc).

  9. I was so happy to see FBE do a reaction video to Mamamoo. The Moomoos did a great job at requesting! Too bad there are no Immortal Songs performances - they are all legendary! - included but my guess is that it'd be a huge hassle for FBE having to deal with KBS wrt the copyright of the videos.

     

    This video reaction exemplifies the reason behind Mamamoo having far more female fans than male ones. Most of the female reactors were visibly impressed by the different styles presented by Mamamoo, but most of the male ones looked confused like they couldn't figure out Mamamoo.

     

    Moomoos probably started stanning Mamamoo for the same reason as the female reactors, that they love how Mamamoo is able to carry any tune and fit any style effortlessly, essentially creating their own unique Mamamoo genre. They also see Mamamoo as personifiation of female empowerment. Mamamoo have always been personally involved in their own music and performances, like composing songs, creating dance choreography, and even taking charge of their own solo projects. This I have to give RBW a lot of credit because it is very rare of companies esp such a small one to give such a free rein to their artistes, and what more in such an early stage of their career. (Just look at how CL's solo career has been stymied under YG and it makes me even more appreciative of this) Most other companies would have forced a feminine or cute image and songs on their girl groups instead of letting them develop their own style and character to maximise their earning power as soon as possible. Mamamoo went through the grind and earned their stripes by constantly improving themselves, and expanded their fandom organically by showing what they are capable of in their live performances and revelling in their beagle personalities behind the scenes. No hype or hollow exaggeration, just pure talent.

     

    While it's natural that there are differing opinions to what they think of Mamamoo, I am unsure what to make of contradicting comments like "pick a style" and "generic". You can't pick a style when it comes to Mamamoo because of their talents and versatility. When you are versatile, you create a style of your own that cannot be imitated or categorised easily, and that's not what I will call generic. On the other hand, there are other people who find solace in familiarity that they can easily recognise and identify in an artiste's discography, so Mamamoo would not be their type that they would like, so each to his own.

     

    For me personally, I am always glad to see Mamamoo break the mould with each new comeback and refuse to be pigeonholed in any single style (except their beagle personalities!). Fusing their personalities into their evolving musical style while keenly following the times is how they keep upgrading themselves and in turn ensure longevity in their music careers. For Mamamoo, change is the only constant, and that's what I love them for.QRLGYBO.png

     

    (Apologies for this long essay, just that I felt I needed to give my own two cents after watching the FBE reaction video)

    Agree with everything you said and literally couldn't have written it better.

     

    I'll also add that I found it very weird how they put Mr Ambigous in between Egotistic and Starry Night. I also wish they showed something from the Pink Funky/Melting Era to show their jazz and retro-influenced style too. However, I understand that they ddin't have a lot of time and didn't want to overwhelm them with too many mvs. Kinda wish they said "this is their debut video from 2014" when showing Mr Ambigous to highlight the improvement/change of style that's happened over 4 years which is a long time.
