  1. Sorry to keep this issue continue but I too want to express my opinion. I don't think there's anything wrong with the interview or the way he worded it? What do we want him to say if that is the truth? Sugarcoat it so it won't make a member look bad than the rest? Do we really expect they are Mamamoo so they must know everything about music? Are we there when he judged them for monthly assessment, when he trained them for harmony class, when he listened to their self-composed songs? Are we there back in 2011 when he analyzed each member's ability and decide on their role in Mamamoo? Are we there when the panel of RBW composers graded them? Do we, who never step in RBW and join the training, really know that yes, all members are actually good making music since their first day in RBW? Just because he said 'I don't expect this particular member is good in making music, but she does' over-protective fans went batshit like they know what happen inside RBW trainee assessment hall. If anything, he was complimenting Byul for exceeding his expectation. That's a statement that we should be proud of, not frown upon. He's with them for 5 years, he was the one who saw their progress and all. He knew everything we don't know about them, he have seen it all - not us fans behind monitors who depend on interviews/hear-says and short clips/picture of them holding guitar to judge their musical prowess. People need to remember, there's no perfect human. Not everybody born as musical genius. Some are better, some may pick it up slow. It's okay, as long as they continue to learn. There's always room and time for improvement. What's wrong with admitting one's flaw or weakness? Getting all defensive when Byul getting negative remark (heck, I don't even find the statement as negative) won't get her anywhere. Getting all worked up with a constructive criticism from professional musician that would help in her musical development is just stupid. Saying that 'she's already have low self confidence, why did he said such thing to her' as if byul is a weak minded baby and need protection. No, stop underestimating her! You are insulting her instead of helping her getting confidence. There's no rainbow and heaven dust out there. Byul is a grown up adult, she probably had faced even harsher comments from the agency that rejected her, she probably had heard bad response during her assessment. But she doesn't need us as human shield. For past 3 years she had proved her mentor that he was wrong and he proudly admitted it. She did it herself. This issue is not an issue at all if fans don't go overprotective mode and behave as if they have all the assessment sheets and clips of them making music to compare. They act as if KDH singling Byul out without knowing what happen behind the closed door. If KDH wants to be mean, he wouldn't even let Byul writing her own lyric and roll in her royalties money. (which is the highest of all mamamoo members) RBW need to learn that they don't need to please fans all the time. And fans need to learn to stop putting their fav high up on pedestal. This mess is just something that result from overreacting.
  2. i like this tweet from them: Click here to view the Tweet There a number of lgbtq+ in the mamamoo fandom. It wasn't easy to find lgbtq+ fans or fans who support lgbtq+ because they tend to hide, but they all manage to find each other by having common interest: being fans of mamamoo. I started to think the company is called Rainbow Bridge World for a reason
  3. Dropping by to say my opinion on the book: Warning: Gonna be long and gonna be different from majority here. But i really appreciate it if people could read it.
  4. Hello, i just drop by to say how happy i am to see how organized the fandom in this comeback - like voting, streaming in melon and YT. Back in 2014, we wouldn't even dream this to happen. mamamoo break a lot of records and i'm really happy that the fandom is growing slowly, but stable and strong. i know this year we have been through some rough moment, even now people still constantly dragging us and mamamoo for their mistake. but just brace yourself, there's always sunshine after the rain, there's always happiness after the pain. this comeback prove it. and it does help with moomoos handling the circumstances maturely, though i dont deny there are vocal young fans out there - i still believe of all fandom i've ever been with, moomoos are the best. keep on working hard, moomoos. sure we all want them to win, but don't be too obsessed till you go attacking / insulting others if we don't. we have gone so far from where we began, even one win is a bliss.
  5. i want to bash people who keep using disease/ medical condition to demean/bashing a person. 'cancer' 'development delay' 'look syndromic' 'autistic' i worked in medical field. trust me, you WILL NOT belittle or make fun of any of those disease/condition if you have encountered such patients and the difficulties their families had to face in real life. if you have a relatives with cancer and you have seen all the effects of the disease, the side effects of radiotherapy/chemotherapy regime, the pain they had to go through and the pain of family members helplessly clinging to every second remaining of the lives of those with stage 4 malignancy - you will not speak lightly of cancer. AND developmental delay is not something you can laugh on. if you have never been a parents of a child with development delay, you will not know the emotional pain seeing your 2 year old child who's supposed to be walking, yet he/she is still struggling to move from supine to prone position on bed. he/she is supposed to be talking like normal child, but they could only babble words. they are supposed to be toilet trained by 4 years old, but some child with global development delay like paraplegic cerebral palsy had to be on diapers for the rest of their lives. it caused both physical exhaustion and emotional stress for parents and quite a lot of parents with special needs child fell into depression and anxiety. so, for those who keep using those words to ridicule someone's appearance or behaviour, remember: it might happen to you in the future. you might get a child with cancer, development delay, autistic spectrum disorders or any congenital disorders/ syndromes. you might be the one sitting next to your mother as you watch her getting chemotherapy delivered into her chemoport. you might have to wait restlessly outside ICU because your sister developed tumor lysis syndrome midway her therapy. your child might be asking you why she need to wear mask and isolated in a sterile room with limited contact if she had neutropenic fever syndrome. You might be the one changing diapers of your 10 years old paraplegic child as you look out the window and you see your neighbour's boy of same age going to school. You are not promised a rainbow life. it can happen to you or anybody close to you. sorry, i just had to let this out. i wish i could take all those insensitive people to ward and see the reality themselves. This is not something you can joke on.
  6. my friend who happen to be there (she rushed from clc fan meet in shibuya to catch a glimpse of mamamoo in odaiba) said the area at front stage (as in the pictures) were exclusive for fans who had ?tickets (I'm not sure about this). Those who didn't have could only watch from afar because they are not allowed to go past the entrance (the arc). but she said she could still hear mamamoo's voice clearly, even as far as fountain plaza (the showcase was held in church plaza). the broad avenue was packed with fans and curious bystanders, even spilling to Olive plaza
  7. i'm just dropping by to give my opinion I love the song. I agree that the chorus felt like out of place in the beginning, but I guess that's the trend now? I noticed that instead of Solar, Wheein is the one leading in the chorus while Solar doing the adlibs. Moonbyul's rap is fire and I actually like the part when they sing 'I feel good'. I can already picture the epicness in their stage later. Now to the controversial part
  8. their solo stages deserve individual thread especially Moonbyul's... to slap all the haters who're spewing bullshit that she's talentless and useless
  9. i don't know where to rant about this so can i say it here?
  10. Dropping by for opinion: I think the person in the video is Moonbyul. She had said that she's kinda big predebut (which was also the reason why she got dropped by her former agency). In V-app, she talked about how fans found out about her predebut picture and she had shared her dieting secret (forgot which one, but I think one of the earlier YKBK v-apps). There's also an Instiz post about her look predebut and how she had lost weight (cant find the original instiz post but here's the 'translated' one: http://www.dkpopnews.net/2015/09/mamamoos-moonbyul-shocks-fans-with.html)
  11. Mamamoo cut in Showtime https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4js143_160707-%EC%87%BC%ED%83%80%EC%9E%84-%EB%A7%88%EB%A7%88%EB%AC%B4-mamamoo-1%ED%99%94-%EC%BB%B7_tv lol at them failing to raise the pd's heart-rate despite trying all sort of tricks and aegyo they have (byul even use her greasy line which of course only works for fangirl ) edit: i dunno why i cant embed video?
  12. dropping by for opinion: Wanna.B used the same set and some of the scene are similar to UOAY. Maybe they have similar director, I don't know. But I will not be too worked up with it. It's just a same set. Piano man's MV set for example had been used by Hyorin (i don't really remember), Troy and K hunter before them. The plot of the MV though - albeit being 90% similar - is still a bit different with UOAY and the song isn't like UOAY at all. Perhaps it's intentional to make the MV such way,so that it will garner interest to the MV and the group itself. Wanna.B is a relatively new group from small, unknown company so its understandable if they have to go down this route to get attention. It's still not bad IMO - I guess if Mamamoo knows about it, they will be proud that there's another group who had been 'inspired' by them, albeit being just 2 years in the scene. And if we think about it in another way - people will come to UOAY MV to watch the similarity, so more promo to Mamamoo yay So for me, we should chill and view it in positive way too.
  13. The remaining seats left: Unofficial Kmoomoo and public will wage war to get those limited seats. Edit: however there are bastards disguised as official fans who bought the tickets and sell it 2-3x original price. RBW has posted a notice addressing the issue in fan cafe just now and urged fellow fan to report the scalper
  14. some anti infiltrate the fancafe and posted hatred comments in Mamamoo memo/diary. back then it was so easy to level up, you can just request the admin and admin can approve it in one/two days (if you level up in fancafe you can see and post in the memo & diary) but after the incident it's difficult to level up (you have to meet certain number of posts and other requirement i.e you need to drop by the attendance section everyday ). If you wanna level up quickly it's easier if you have physical copy of mamamoo album (they will asked some kind of serial number at back of the album or something ) and you need to answer some questions about mamamoo.
  15. Sparkilene aka Lene is the admin of Mamamoo Daily. Last year she helped to organize rice donation in Moo Party Ours are the third from the right. Many people from OH and twitters joined too edit: still laughing at Miss Pluto's
  16. i'm crying.. the girls have gone so far, it feels like yesterday we're lashing out how the rookie awards sidelined them even though they have the most downloads. And how we all were freaking out over UOAY suddenly rose up to top 5 Melon. we were all like "omg what's happening? this can't be happening!" but look where they are now. Holding their own solo concert in Olympic Hall (the same venue as F(x)'s Docking Station tour ) i wanna go so bad But even if we can't go, maybe we can do something to show our support, like the rice donation we did in Moo Party. I hope Lene can organize such event again
  17. The got paid so well Their own revenue + royalty money from featuring + CF (albeit not many CF yet) + events. And RBW is really a good company for giving them fair share in the income (so far) Let me see Moonbyul flaunting around the town in Aventador please, that would be a nice source of fanfic
  18. I think, even though it looks like Mamamoo is the sole breadwinner for RBW, but RBW gained revenue from many other sources. Like Kpop training programme they have, their in-house composers generating money from the songs they made for other singers/group (like Seo Yong bae, the composer of Gfriend's songs). Maybe rbw is seizing the opportunity that now they're trending, but i hope they don't overworked Mamamoo so much.
  19. Agree with this. There's nothing wrong exploring to different genre, I found the song is pleasant but the only downfall of it is the issue with mixing and mastering of audio track. The instruments were too loud (some people argue that the song is rock so its supposed to be loud- but mind you AC/DC's vocalist never get drowned by their own instrument), Wheein's voice volume was edited too low or compressed too much in the song that sometimes she completely fade into background. There seems to be some issue in compression during mastering process that results in unbalanced parts. I had feeling that RBW emphasized more in sound quality of their songs which is why I love tracks produced by them. When i listen to music I tend to dissect every different layer of the song. RBW might be stingy in printing the album but they spent a lot in producing a good quality track. All tracks in Melting was mastered by Chris Gehringer in famous Sterling Sound studio and hiring him must have cost a lot of money. He mastered songs in Jason Derulo, Drake, Lady Gaga and Rihanna's album and was a Grammy nominee for Album of the Year and Record of the Year (for audio mixing and mastering category) - well he did won a Latin Grammy award for his work in 2012. so yeah.. i agree that maybe having some musical background and being used to listen to what RBW had produced somehow had affected our opinion to the song. Nevertheless, we are still happy that Wheein has this opportunity to do collaboration
  20. isnt rbw ( aka Mamamoo channel at YT ) followed Mamamoo-trans I remembered when Yoongi had "senpai-notice-us" moment rip 1st channel of Mamamoo-trans but its good that you guys had prepared back-up, you should make triple or quadruple back-up account in YT to make sure all international radish wont gonna be famished
  21. But then Solar managed to beat Baek Ji Yong and progress to next stage tho
  22. Similar chord progression can't be a basis of plagiarism, or else millions of songs in this world is just plagiarizing one another. For instance, this video could demonstrate how similar 4 chord progression can translate to different songs: And like someone point out earlier, one cant raise a plagiarism issue if they can't pinpoint the original source. Sure it sounds like it's inspired by Treasure but Treasure itself was inspired by another song. So if anyone said that it plagiarized Treasure, then why not Treasure accused for plagiarism too? I know this allegation will arise sooner or later, but I hope RBW know what they're doing. LG is a big company itself, they won't take a risk screwing up their own promotion with a plagiarized promo song.
