The MAMAMOO members are among some of the most-credited idols in K-Pop as of Jan 2024 - Moonbyul actually has the most songwriting credits of all 3rd generation female idols at 119(2nd most credited famale artist overall... Yoon Mirae at 141), since she writes her own raps(and more) in almost all of the group’s songs. As well as contributing to the songwriting in many of them as well. - Solar has 41 credits to her name. She wrote the lyrics and composition for her solo song, “Spit it Out”. Composer on "Honey". - Hwasa has 47 credits. The lyrics to her solo song, “María”, were praised for its inventive and meaningful wordplay. ("Somebody" w/Loco). - Wheein has 10 credits (that I can find, maybe more) COULD use an Update as they have all released new/more music in 2024 - I'm sure they ALL have more, but I'm having trouble finding the info... if anyone can give me an UPDATE (TY)
I agree with how female idols are often both infantalised. Mamamoo is one of the groups that always has had a more mature feel - even when they are being silly. The other group that really stands out for me is (g)i-dle - as one of the few female groups that has creative control of their music, they always feel like women making music for women.
Mamamoo are full grown women, not little girls. I love them!! Moonbyul is my favorite woman rapper. They all have such beautiful voices. Solar is a power house. Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but Moonbyul and Jin are friends and in their 92 liner chat group. She and Mamamoo surprised BTS by using their Dope introduction at an awards show. First time with Mamamoo. BTS’ reaction was great. Enjoy these incredible ladies.
No offense to Black PInk fans but MAmamoo are much better artists, singers etc. They are not as famous due to the smaller ageny and the fact they dont do the bubblegum kpop. But when it comes to stage presence and vocal power they are some of the best
but blackpink doesnt do bubblegum either, coming from someone who is tired listening to blackpink on commercials. Mamamoo even have some bubblegum type songs (mostly for ads) Mamamoo is, imo, a choice for all bcs they simply do everything. Also I feel bad for BP fans bcs, RBW is known of being bad at promoting, they were smaller company afterall, but BP? they are from the big4 and their fans rarely get to have them release new songs. Also, I feel safe with moomoo, they are well known as the least problematic and the chillest fandom. Also the girls in BP and mamamoo are friends.
Yes you have a point but really We should not compare cause both groups are good in their on ways they are in comparAble but it just that where just too bias to mamamoo cause where moomoos.. to our eyes they are the best in everything they are our queens 😅😅 Seriously i dont really listen to BP but as i have seen and hear they are also good it just that mamamoo tried everything both there branding is also different mamamoo really explore in terms of music they dont stick in any genre so you will see there different sides and they got ample of opportunity to try new style so we can never get tired and you got to see there growth and flexibility every comeback also their is something in mamamoo that for me other GG dont have which is their core personality they are really different they made people felt at home when im watching them its like they are my friends that i never meet so fun and the moos are wholesome people no toxicity i enjoy the vibes 😊😊😊
Like Chanyeol from Exo, Moonbyul is not only good at rapping, her vocals are amazing as well. I wpuld really love to see these 2 talented artists collaborate on a song.
solar was a judge on a boy group survival show in January this year, do you think you might have seen her there? With Mamamoo, you cannot go wrong with any of their songs :)
The one you kept wondering if you'd seen her before is Solar. The rapper is Moonbyul and the other brunett is Wheein. Solar took up pole dancing to strengthen her back after an injury. She has also incorporated it into live performances. See her cover of Despicito. My favorite Mamamoo songs are Decalcomanie and Destiny. Destiny doesn't have an mv but the Queendom performance, which won the final round and the overall competition for Mamamoo, is safe to react to.
Welcome to Mamamoo world.., they are very different from other groups, at the beginning they didn't had any money, budget, choreographer, stylist or things like that, so, they are considered a self made group and therefore they have what no other groups has.. creative freedom. They own the stage & it's quite better to see them live. You can expect pop, jazz, ballads and even r&b styles
I recommend reacting to Hip, Starry Night, Gogobebe for starters. Mamamoo have so many songs it's hard to choose from. They are known as the vocal queens and are the most credited girl group in kpop with over 120 songwriting/composing credits.
more mamamoo rap? go check Sleep in the Car (their complaining about tight schedule), Taller than You (diss each other height, that 1cm different), AZE GAG (korean dad jokes), or simply hit the HIP song. WELCOME TO THE RADISH FAMILY🎉
Other girl groups who rap and are more mature: Dreamcatcher - They have a metal inspired sound (G)I-dle - you’re gonna love them XG - a Japanese group that only sings in English and they are amazing rappers
Mamamoo is a great group! Gorgeous women with gorgeous voices. Also Wheein and Myunbul hosted an award show with V and Hobi and it was so fun! Solar can't resist dancing to Blood, Sweat and Tears! They are all so funny! Lol! I hope you react to more. I LOVE LOVE Starry Night... it also has like a Spanish vibe to me.
I 100% agree with you about the cutesy/aegyo girl group culture!! MAMAMOO, (G)I-DLE and Dreamcatcher are three groups that I would recommend that have more mature concepts and are not super oriented to the "male gaze". All three groups have insane rappers and vocals as well as fun personalities and strong woman vibes. Some specific songs you could start with for I-DLE and DC are "Tomboy", "NXDE", and "LION" for I-DLE; "Scream/Boca/Odd Eye" [The Dystopia Trilogy] for Dreamcatcher. Just a suggestion, no pressure at all! I actually started with MAMAMOO and went down the rabbit hole from there hahaha
Mamamoo are not cutesy in any way. They’re confident women who are not afraid to express their artistry and go against K-pop industry standards. As a man, I find that so much more attractive than any girly bubble gum conformists.
There's a saying we have- once ypu whee-in, you can't whee-out. Welcom to the fandom!!! The others have given excellent recommendations for you so i wont add anymore Oh wait, you can check out Destiny, Chuck, Yes I Am, Good Luck pt.1, Dingga, and "ddaeng", ggbb, and Chico Malo by the subunit mamamoo+!
For me musical performances are about the music and for singers their vocals. My top for KPOP girl groups are 2NE1, Mamamoo and SNSD. They all have awesome vocals and harmonies but are not the same. Each has their own character. 2NE1 and Mamamoo maintain the performers individuality while merging into the group's character. As a much larger group SNSD has differences in style. Especially in their choreography. I try to watch live performances as I feel they show more truth. Thank you for the reaction.
Imagine the Kpop industry said, they can't debut, because they're not pretty enough.🤣 Solar did the pole dancing at MAMA Awards live, you can guess the reactions from other Idols and the industry.😅
Naaah girl you’re trapped You can check the killing voice for now then decide what songs stand out the most to you . Since it’s hard for us to recommend songs they got around 400 song Fun fact the one with long blonde hair (that you kept noticing) is Solar and she did a cover of Bts’ fire The rapper is Moonbyul The brunette with angelic voice is Wheein And you know Hwasa They are known as vocal queens trust me their voices are no joke (even the rapper) Im not sure if you do guides reaction (I start watching you from hwasa’s reaction) if you do I would like to recommend some videos later But Im here for the journey anyway❤
@@raniafarah492 @LorydannaGr Wheein also did an amazing cover of Dimple..and yes to everything mentioned in this comment. Also Moonbyul is part of the 92 Liner group chat that Jin belongs to. Solar also sang one of the OSt songs for Vicenzio Kdrama
14:06 As a man in a room with my computer, I take offence at that... And secondly, from all i have seen, they are catering for women in their room on their computers ;) (Their fanbase is over 90% female in Korea) Just heard you talk about wanting more from the rapping, you will be satisfied with the raps that Moonbyul does (and even Hwasa does early on too). If you want a rap heavy song, then you should watch 1cm or a live of sleep in the car, or be very confused watching azegag. Each member has a solid solo career too, you will be able to hear wheein's honey vocals, hwasa's fierceness, Solars power, and Moonbyuls everything.
I was not referind to normal people with their computer. I have a special kind in mind when I say this. I am very happy with them so far. I did react to the Killing voice (will come later), and they are just wow! Their voices are amazing! ❤️
@@lorydannagr yep I know what you mean in the comment. I purposely misinterpreted it for the lols (even if I was the only one laughing). Anyway, killing voice is great, but it is a gateway drug to the rest of their discography. Mamamoo live with a band is the ultimate experience with them. We are still hoping they will return with more songs one day soon. For now we just get their solo work and mamamoo+ the subunit.
Having an almost 7 year old daughter…I think I am more triggered by this, so this is why. The mum in me trying to protect her and trying to change the world around her….just a day to day in a mum’s life. But yes, Mamamoo really deserve more recognition. ❤️
So you have a preconsecption about KPop girl groups. While some can be "cutsy" many are not. Mamamoo is the one group that others emulate. They are also the best singers in Kpop... even the boy groups love them. MAMAMOO's KILLING VOICE with perfect HARMONY/Egoistic, HIP, Dinga, AYA | Dingo Music ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WvkTcNQsxzc.html BTW Mamamoo is the REASON there IS a "Killing Voice", they were the FIRST. And it's one of the reasons it's so short. Before them it was The "Killing Verse" and featured ONLY Rappers. Speciffically "The Killing Voice" exists because of Solar. SOLAR(w/Mamamoo) wanted to join 'Killing Verse' but WASN'T accepted. So Dingo Music created 'Killing Voice' and Called MAMAMOO. Their video currently has the most Killing Voice views... we need a second one. LOL
Mamamoo is different, so much more my style. But most songs that I heard from other Kpop Girl Groups are too much into the cute vibes with which I do not agree for very special reasons. Asian women are very much a fetish (unfortunately) and making them look and sound like 5 year olds is very much wrong. I want to see strong powerful women, not damsel in distress. Just personal preference and opinion. ❤️
You didn't see it in this video but Solar has actually pole danced live more than once, usually as some kind of intro or intermission. I don't think you can post those on YT though so it's something to watch personally.
Once you watch the killing voice you'll have some more songs to listen to in full! they also have solo music, for Solar (blond in this video) check out Spit it out, Honey, for Moonbuyl (rapper) check out Eclipse, Shut down, and lunatic, for Wheein (my bias, short dark hair in this video you said her eyes /wink) check out Easy, watercolor for Hwasa check out I'm a B, and Twit. oh and check out Hwasa's duet with Loco called Dont. I also put a comment on your upcoming video on some fan made videos from Purple Hawk giving you more insight into each individual singer. They are great videos but may have some spoilers, but i promis you'll fall in love with their personalities and not just their singing!
There are two very good and funny rap songs. One is called 1cm and it’s a diss song about their height There is an MV. I’d highly recommend one with English subs. The other is called Sleep in the Car and it’s a crazy song they wrote about their lack of sleep when having to go to make MVs, do performances, etc. I don’t think that there is an official MV. There s a really good one other performing it very close up without subs but you won’t have any context what it means. It might be better to first react to the lyrics version then do that one. It really shows a great side of them. Aze Gag is a MV of Korean dad jokes that has absolutely no meaningful translation. Cute song but not really worth reacting to so soon.
Oh I think I will also add check out an oldie from theirs called Girl Crush too. Great MV in an odd format. Great rap but not from all of them. Very funny too.
May I suggest you check out Mamamoo Decalcomanie next? and then since you are a big Boygroup fan, I think you will for sure enjoy Mamamoo Solar live cover of BTS fire at their concert
Mamamoo is so amazing, all of them. I would also suggest you check out AleXa (solo artist) and Rolling Quartz, they are technically a KRock Band, but so great!
Egotistic is the best way to realize they aren't your regular girl group. They came here with boss bitch energy. Interesting that in the first video I watched from you I said: Mamamoo is not a girl group, it's a women group. So I come here to say it again. I think that's why I'm such a big fan, they differ so much from the standard girl group in every way: music, visuals, voices, concepts, and matureness. They are the standard, you will not find any group as good as them. Unfortunately, they don't include so many raps in their songs, Moonbyul always has less lines. If you like rap type songs I recommend listening to: sleep in the car, taller than you, diamond. You should totally check Moonbyul's solo work: Eclipse, Dark Romance, Moon Movie, if you tend to prefer boy groups, these songs will be perfect for you.
Thank you so much! Even is they do not have that much rap, i still enjoy them. They do not have that annoying high pitched voice. You know what I mean… they sing like normal amazing women! ❤️
I don't know if you are new to kpop or not but kpop don't have cute concept like they did 2010-2018 The only girl groups with "cute" concept i know is illit,stayc and new jeans. Groups change their concepts all the time and some groups with cute concept before like twice apink have mature concept as they grown. Girls groups have more diverse concepts compair to bgs. Here are groups with sexy/mature/dark/rock/girl crush concepts Dreamcatcher Blackswan Mamamoo Sistar Bvndit Brown eyed girls Pixy Xg Gidle Pinkfantasy Itzy Everglow Aespa 3ye 2ne1 4minute Aoa ....
I am new to girl groups, not to kpop. And the mainstream songs that i hear online from Girl Groups I do not like. I need rappers, strong women, mature. I also listened to Kard that is a mixed group, and I love them. I cannot stand those cute songs. I am sorry 🫣
@@lorydannagr gurl don't be sorry, there's a lot of ggs and all of them have different concept.Just give them a chance before you say like "ggs songs are cute".If you wanna see rap killing voice react to Exid, they have crazy vocals too.
Also, Jin and Moonbyul are basically best friends. Back in the day, MMM and BTS had so much fun together, until BTS became massive, and they had to tone down the reactions because of some "fans".
I agree with you! 2 main reasons why I don't like KPOP girl groups are 1) adult women trying to look like (as you mentioned) 5 year olds, and 2) 5 year olds trying to look like adultsw (realistically 13-17 year olds, but still, you know what I mean..) MAMAMOO is the first (and only) KPOP group that I'll listen to for their whole discography, even every members' solo songs and unit songs. They really do have gorgeous vocals, and their song lyrics are really beautiful and inspirational (not at all those other GG song where they put down others as a way to portrait strong women, but MAMAMOO's songs are inspirational to women because they encourage self-love and self-confidence)
@@lorydannagr Thanks for the reply! No, I think many people who don't like GGroups are the same, just that they didn't really know why they didn't like them. :D Love that I'm finding more reactors that speak it out than to pretend they do.
I could never. I started this channel to broaden my kpop knowledge and find more groups and songs that I can enjoy. I love music. Music saved my life many times, so I just look for what I need. I would never pretend I like something that I do not. For what? More followers? No thank you! Better few and real and have a great small group, than a large and toxic following. ❤️
I'm exactly like you! I can't stand the bubblegum poppy cutesy songs. It's part of why I avoided k-pop for a long time, cause all I had really seen of k-pop girl groups was the very baby-pop stuff. I don't enjoy it firstly from a sound perspective, it's just really not a sound or genre that I enjoy or relate to. I accepted it at first cause I realize a large amount of k-pop fans are teens. So I know outwardly that's who those songs cater to. But like you I eventually realize how sick that industry can be, and just knowing that it's getting peddled to satisfy pedophiles is just far too disturbing. I just can't see those kinds of songs the same anymore knowing who's watching it. I got into Blackpink first, just because like most new kpop fans they were one of the first groups to really hit my radar. I really only listened to them for over a year and was kind of afraid to branch out to other groups cause it seemed like they all were cutesy. But over the years I've found quite a few gg that deviate from that sound. I think this is also a good time for you to explore girl groups cause over the last few years I've seen a lot more girl groups break out of that mold and do more intriguing sounds and concepts. I really enjoy dark themes and I've notices a spike in girl groups that put out darker toned albums and stuff. Having said that, I still don't listen to much else besides Mamamoo. Not because there aren't other groups worth listening to, but because Mamamoo has set the bar so high that I just find myself wanting to listen to their music more than any others. And I'm sure you can see why. Also, not sure if anyone else already mentioned, but you did see the other girls at the end of Hwasa's Maria MV, so that may be where you saw Solar (the blonde) from.
You have some misconceptions about girl groups in general it seems.. There are plenty who aren't like you described. There were a couple of other comments that pointed this out and it felt like you completely ignored their points.. Is there any reason why you're so insistent on putting all girl groups in the same category? There are a lot more variety in girl groups than there are in boy groups when it comes to kpop.. I feel like there's some hypocrisy here (and some internalized misogyny probably?). Just try to consider why you feel the way that you do, And why (even tho several people have said otherwise) that you are convinced 99% of kpop girl groups are "cutesy" and "infantilizing"..
I will keep my own opinion about my beliefs and likes. I also had many that understand me and are with me in this. When I see girls in their 20’s dressed in short school skits acting cutesy and all singing with a hight pitch, that is not for me. I do not like that. I like strong voices, rappers, darker concepts. This is my personal preference. I can give any group a chance, but I want people that watch to know what I like in order to recommend me more songs and groups that qualify. I cannot personally take a song sang in a high pitch as it’s scratching my ears, this is why I prefer men voices and lower register voices. And rap, I need rap from both boy and girl groups.
