First-time Reaction to Mamamoo "Killing Voice" 

(L>R) *Moonbyul* (30), *Solar* (32), *WheeIn* (28), *Hwasa* (28) Mamamoo debuted in 2014, 2 years before Blackpink. Even though they each have their set positions, this is a group with with 4 singers, 4 rappers, 4 dancers. This is the ONLY group (as of now) who ALL the members have successful solo careers. Meaning, all 4 members have multiple solo albums apart from the multiple group albums. They add humor to many of their MVs, as you will see when you watch. Also, there's a group RU-vid channel but all 4 also have their individual channel. *Some FYIs* - *Moonbyul,* rapper, (Byul means Star = MoonStar) auditioned as a vocalist, she was told there were already 3 vocalists, she needed to learn to rap if she wanted to debut in the group. Now she is the most credited female rapper in Kpop and in her solos she still does show her vocals more. - *Solar* did not like that men were praised for being shirtless on stage where women were criticized for their moves. So after a performance, she tore her shirt off (sports bra under) exposing her amazing abs. - *WheeIn* is so talented, she's also a painter, her works are extraordinary - *Hwasa* was told she was to dark, not pretty, didn't fit the Korean beauty standards. Her response was "if I don't fit their standards, I WILL MAKE MY OWN!" - *Hwasa* & *WheeIn* have been friends since they were 13 in middle school. There are guides on RU-vid to get to know groups better, suggest you watch. For example: *The MAMAMOO Introduction Guide of 2022 (part 1: members) & (part 2: group) by MOO YT* *Killing Voice* is a great series to get to preview groups, I suggest you watch more.

Fun fact : the hand gestures are part of their dance BUT also sign language meaning “Starry Night” which is the name of the song. They did it for inclusion for their deaf fans. You won’t find a group more down to earth than Mamamoo❤

I love to see people appreciating wheein’s voice in a first time reaction. Solar has those stand out power vocals, moonbyul has that cool deep tone rap, Hwasa has that sultry sound and look, but Wheein has an amazing honey voice and falsetto that speaks to my soul lol

Coach's favourite Wheein has the perfect blend between Solar's power and Hwasa's breathiness.

Mamamoo is often hailed as the "Vocal Queens" of Kpop, with each and every member being highly trained vocalist. They are also one of the very few female Kpop groups with a more mature and "womanly" stage persona. They are also known for their diversity when it comes to music genres. Check out "Egoistic" "Starry Night" and "Hip" and you ll know what i mean. Hope you guys enjoy more Mamamoo songs!

Welcome to our Vocal Queens. I love watching people come in and get blown away by these powerful women.

Mamamoo debuted in 2014 and have been the vocal standard for Kpop girl groups ever since. When you said they seemed really fun and super talented, you described them perfectly. This group is a meme with legs, they are super witty and fun and they have never been afraid to show themselves as they really are in front of the cameras, to the point that they are famous for how crazy they are and how much fun they have wherever they go. In terms of talent, they are incredible, it is not shown here but the four of them can sing, rap and dance, in addition to the fact that the 4 of them are credited as composers, with Moonbyul, the rapper being the most accredited female idol of all time with 117 songs under her name. Mamamoo as a whole is the most credited girl group in Kpop with over 200 songs written and composed by the members and they are the only girl group in the top 10 of the overall list. As you can see, they have complete creative freedom over their music in all aspects from the writing and production of their music, choreography and clothing to the concepts of their videos and concerts. All its members play at least one instrument (almost all of them play more than one) and in the first years of their career they did their own choreography. It is also the group where all of its members have successful solo careers with several albums each one. To say that mamamoo is talented is an understatement. They also have fun and strong personalities, which makes them true to themselves. If they don't like something or don't want to do it, it won't be done. They are not the typical group that the company has over them and even the company has said, they are quite uncontrollable but very hardworking. I also have to say that the bond between the 4 of them is really strong and they treat each other like family, in fact two of them have been best friends since school before even wanting to be singers. For all these reasons Mamamoo is the group that I admire the most.

If you want to see them at a live performance their Immortal Songs Medley is a must. Immortal Songs is a Korean show where singers, rappers and sometimes idols perform songs of korean legends and the best one of the episode gets a trophy. Mamamoo participated often in their early years. They were the first idol group to win a trophy and the first and only girl group to win multiple trophys (for a couple of years they were the only group to achieve that). They made a 11 minute medley out of their perfomances there and perfomed it at their concerts.

Mamamoo = The vocal Queens!

rapper won a tv competition where rappers that can sing..she dominated the show and won recently. moonbyul rapper

The fact that Hwasa was sick when they filmed this still amazes me. Deep talent!

Coach's face of shock every time Wheein sings is so hilarious lmao All four of them are insanely talented which is why they are my favorite girl group. Some of their older songs are very underrated and i hope you'll react to them at some point. Piano Man, Ahh Oop, Paint Me and their advertisement songs (seriously, they're INSANE) like Woo Hoo and Gleam

Wow! Some of those high notes and runs will bring you to tears!

"Mamamoo the true vocal queen" you must see this video

I have to say Blackpink was the group that got me to even check out kpop. Im an older guy (50). The frustrating thing for them is they always put out the same type of songs and they dont have a very big catalog, not to mention the length of time between releases is way too long. But its not their fault, its their company and i do still love them. Mamamoo is my ultimate group. They have a massive catalog and you never know what type of genre they're going to hit next. From girl crush, reggaeton, latin etc.. their talent and vocals are unmatched. Live performances are amazing and usually better than the original song. They dont care about the Korean standards and often challenge them. If you do more reactions am i here for the ride. You won't regret checking out more of their music. (G)idle is my second favorite group. Much like mamamoo you never know what type of genre is going to come out of them. Thank you for checking out Mamamoo. Loved your reaction!

Dinga was their end of pandemic song. That's why the rap is about lacking vitamin D, paying delivery fees, and having a fly on the wall as a best friend. It was about really wanting to go be with friends. (Also, it's worth checking every video for these songs.)

Mamamoo another group I stan lol. some of the best vocals in the world, not just kpop. they excel at harmonies when performing live which something a lot of groups don’t even attempt to do. they debuted in 2014, 2 years before Blackpink but they’re both still 3rd Gen. I would say they’re one of the only groups where each member is also an accomplished soloists, along with Blackpink & BTS off the top of my head 🤔, and I think one of the things that make that possible is the fact that they all have their own individual colors/characteristics.

Please! More Mamamoo! Immortal song medley next! Mamamoo is more than kpop idols! They are the queens!

If you want a fierce rapper, try to react to her ECLIPSE. You will see how fierce she can be. This killing voice is just the tip of the iceberge with their entire discography as a whole group and as a soloist. Hope youll enjoy MAMAMOO!

fun fact about the killing voice series of videos: before mamamoo, it didnt exist. the channel was known for their "killing verse" series which was a similar style of video but just featured rappers. one day solar contacted them about wanting mamamoo to be on the show but the producers didnt feel it was right to have them on a rap-centered series so instead they created killing voice to accommodate, not wanting to lose out on the opportunity to feature these vocal powerhouses. since then killing voice has become the gold standard in terms of highlighting kpops best vocals. (my recommendations/favs for killing voice performances: akmu, taeyeon, big mama, iu) also, you mentioned how moonbyul can sing as well as rap. earlier this year she was on a show that took various kpop rappers and had them compete in a vocals/singing competition called "second world." byuli won.

Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein, Hwasa= MAMAMOO 🫶

MAMAMOO's live performances are always full of fun and amazing. So glad to see you love Wheein's vocal. Wheein just made a comeback last month with her first full album-IN the mood. It's a no-skip album, containing 11 fantastic tracks. Check the MV of her title track , also named In The Mood, and the other tracks in this album. She will not disappoint you😊.

In a group competition their biggest fans were the other girl groups on the show, they are highly respected by other girl groups. Moonbyul has been lauded for her attitude to younger artists. Moonbyul's rapping style is more lyrical than the staccato of other rappers which has made her stand out. Solar is just a powerhouse of vocals, she is also very careful with that power. Wheein is just smooth. Hwasa is a true queen, she straight out skips the expected norms and makes her own path. She's also very versatile in her styling. The song "I Miss You" was done as a performance on Queendom and has to be one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen. All four of these ladies are.... crazy, but in a fun way. There is a lot of them just going full on why not. Solar is the eldest and instigator of a lot of mischief, Moonbyul is a straight up flirt and does so shamelessly. Wheein might be the shyest of them, but also pulls a lot of stuff that cracks everyone up. Hwasa is not shy, at all and is right there with Moonbyul on teasing.

Dinga is a Pandemic summer song. Singing about everything they want to do but can't due to restrictions. The stuck at home, delivery fees are a waste of money, and my onlt friend is a fly comments on being quarantined. Here in Korea, delivery fees have skyrocketed since 2020 where most places delivered for free or around 75 cents. Now it's common to find delivery fees of up to $4. Though at least tipping isn't engrained in the culture here (yet). Whenever I'm vising family in the US, it shocks me how crazy tipping culture has gotten back there.

Mamamoo toured the States earlier this year and were absolutely amazing live. Im so glad you two finally got to the vocal queens!

The shock and enjoyment on both your faces even just in the first five minutes is a DELIGHT to watch. Experiencing Mamamoo for the first time!! I've probably watched 25 reactions to this over the time since the original came out, it's just so awesome to get to revisit how magical Mamamoo are.

Mamamoo is more than kpop..... they will be always vocal queen in kpop history❤❤❤❤

im so happy that you guys first recognized and really liked Wheein's voice because a lot of other reactors usually go to the other 3. it is true that she may not have sultry voice, deep rapping or displays power vocals here, but yes she can put you in a trance, you can say she has this beautiful smooth "honey" falsetto vocals. Even their CEO stated that Wheein is the backbone of Mamamoo. there's a lot of Mamamoo music content you guys could uncover and i am subscribing in case you guys do more. welcome to the mamamoo world!

Glad you did this. I knew a little Mamamoo and Hwasa, but I never dove into them too much or realized how talented they were! Wow!!!

Mamamoo are vocals queens ❤

Only vocalists and vocal coaches appreciate Wheein's voice and I totally love that they always recognize her voice. She gets overlooked so much by regular listeners.

One of the reasons why they got good vocals is because at the time they debuted, they were almost dissolved and since they didn't have the looks, the height, and the financial support/backing of the company (they were the first artists of their company, RBW) so they had to make up for something somehow. They focused on being better at singing, they also didn't have the funds back then to hire a choreographer so they had to make them themselves. It's funny how this group is one of the few KPOP artists who suck at lip-syncing because they were used to singing live every time. They almost always use handheld microphones instead of the lapel mics they use when they're dancing.

Mamamoo is the different side of Kpop. They raised my standards so high. The concert versions of these songs are even better.

This made you speechless. Big Mamma killing voice will blow you away.

Mamamoo is coming back for you 😊

Happy to see this reaction, Mamamoo is one of Kpop's treasures when it comes to pure vocal talent and likeability. They are the funniest group of close friends who are incredibly talented and respected by other idol groups. Kpop is loaded with many incredible groups as you will find out in time.

i love how much yall love wheein she was also the first one i noticed in mamamoo, her voice is so refreshing

Mamamoo is always live. They rarely lip sync because whenever they do they fail miserably. They just can not lip sync so if there's a technical issue and they can not sing live, they would admit it right away and just give up on lip sync. They also sing their harmonies and adlibs live which - as you can see in this video - cause a hard time for the cameramen. The cameramens usually don't know who to zoom in because they are not used to the fact that there are more than one singer sing at the same time so they frequently missed filming the adlibs and harmonies of Mamamoo

Probably one of my favorite reaction video for people reacting to Mamamoo killing voice! Genuinely captured all the points from each member. If you are impressed in here, try their "Immortal Songs medley" which are rearranged songs they sang for competition shows from their music industry legends.

The Rapper's name is 'Moonbyul' and she also has solo songs out. Chek out 'Eclipse' and 'Absence' by moonbyul!

WHEEIN is the lady in dress suit 😌 her full length album IN THE MOOD just got released last month. You should listen and try to react to it. It's very worth it 💯💖 Btw, Mamamoo discography is freakin and awesomely great 💯🔥 Hope you will react again to them. OT4 is real in Mamamoo 💚 Thank you for this 🤟

love the wheein appreciation! maybe im just not deep enough into the fandom but i feel like she gets overlooked a lot

The choreography where they spread their fingers is part of the dance for that song (Starry Night) and is the sign for starry night to communicate with the deaf, at least in Korea. Wheein has been videoed communicating with deaf fans, and since they were doing their own choreography at the time, they put it in. The numbers for gogobebe, 9-6-6/19, the 9 and 6 are for the g and the b but also have a deeper meaning I can't remember. The 6/19 is their debut date back in 2014. I saw another comment that says 6/18 and that's what Wikipedia says but they claim 6/19. Their debut album was released on the 18th but their first performance in public was on the 19th. One of the first few videos on their You Tube channel is them in a studio with no supervision recording a cover song. For one of their most recent MVs, the behind-the-scenes video makes it apparent that Solar is directing the MV. Most K-pop groups are packaged products from the agency. They are handed a song, taught the choreography, given costumes, and told to look fierce or cute or sexy, or so on. With Mamamoo, the agency makes suggestions. It's been that way from the beginning.

Mamamoos Vocals are untouched if it comes Group. If i start talking about Solo Singers i cant shut up cuz there are so many many good vocalists. IU, Ailee, Sohyang(the best of the best) and many more.

I've watched their concerts twice and i gotta tell you they sing better live on stage than recording versiin...you can grasp how they really love to sing & perform and not doing it as a job. And they have great audience engagement that you gotta think that they're your friend next door. Mamamoo came 2 years before Black Pink & that makes them a 9-yo group, with 14 albums AND many solo albums to each member. Enjoy your journey with Mamamoo, it's a fantastic ride, i promise you

I've never not listened to I Miss You without tearing up. It's such a powerful gorgeous song and they all bring their own flavor to it that's S tier individually but together is insane. Love yalls reactions to them! Favorite vocal group.

i highly recommend mamamoo immortal songs meddley live meddley cover old songs and its live ..shows stage presence and power vocals

Wheein, the lady with the black blazer dress is known for her special effect voice without special effect.

Mamamoo is Always number one group for me 🤍

MAMAMOO is often describe as 4 solo artists who just comes together annually to do an album. THE VOCAL QUEENS OF KPOP and nobody could ever argue against that. Also all the members have solo albums which all debuted #1 on the worldwide iTunes Album Chart. The number that they sang was the date when they debuted.

MAMAMOO (마마무) is a girl group which consists of 4 members: Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein, and Hwasa. MAMAMOO debuted on June 19, 2014, under RBW Entertainment (Rainbow Bridge World, formerly WA Entertainment). Solar- February 21, 1991 (leader, vocalist) Moonbyul- December 22, 1992(rapper, performer) Wheein- April 17, 1995 (vocalist) Hwasa-July 23, 1995(vocalist, rapper, maknae) Надеюсь я ничего не перепутала 😊

Ive been dying for yall to get to Mamamoo! A little background info (im sure some of this has already been said): Members (from left): Moonbyul (aka Moon Star): most credited female k pop idol in history, writes all of her own raps, second oldest member, real name Moon Byul-Yi, referred to as Moon Star because byul translates to star in English. Also a phenominal vocalist, won second world (a singing competition between rappers of kpop groups) Solar: oldest member, leader, real name; Kim Yongsun, stage name comes from do re mi fa SO LA ti do, posts regularly on solarsido (her youtube channel) learned to pole dance for egotistic mv (is very good at it) and now sometimes does it during live stages, is very chaotic, became a trainee at 22, was told she was too old and not pretty enough to be an idol 🤯 has powerful vocals Whee In: real name Jung Wheein, second youngest member, met Hwa Sa in middle school where they became best friends, shes an artist and painted the artwork used on 2 or 3 of her solo album covers as well as the painting in the goodbye mv, a great dancer and exceedingly cute in her personality, shes not a big fan of being in front of the camera all the time, an introvert who gets crazy once shes comfortable, has smooth honey vocals. Hwa Sa: real name Ahn Hyejin, baptismal name: Maria, the youngest member (maknae), told she was "fat" and not pretty by the industry at large 🤯, once said "if I don't fit the current generations beauty standards, I'll just have to become a new standard,." After being criticized for not wearing a bra to the airport she wrote lyrics in "I'm a b" stating "I just wanna breath, so I go no bra", when critized for another airport outfit she wrote lyrics in "hip" stating that she didn't care and if she does it, it's hip, beloved by the people of south korea (if she eats it on camera, it sells out completely from all stores by the next day) and hated on by the press and some netizens (people online), is referred to as Queen Hwasa, appears to be a savage on stage, but is a baby in reality, very affectionate and soft hearted, has sultry vocals Mamamoo as a group: They debuted in 2014 (2 years before Blackpink). Debut track: Mr Ambiguous. First music show win: You're the Best. Fandom name: MooMoos. Lightstick: (Moobong) a green radish (moo means radish in korean) They are very hard working and driven, having to fight for everything they've achieved thus far, even the chance to debut, owing to the fact that many said they weren't good looking enough and some members were too old, despite this they have acheived international fame and have become the vocal wayermark of the kpop industry, being known as kpops "vocal queens". They're trendsetters for sure, they were the first group to eat during an encore stage, the first group to feature drag queens in an mv, the first performance featuring a member pole dancing (that i know of), first to accept an award in the middle of a performance, first (and only lol) to wear tellitubies costumes to a "winter wonderland" themed award show. They are the most credited female k pop group in history, involved in all of the music process from writing their own lyrics and melodies, to deciding their mv concepts and choosing the clothing they wear, and even creating much of their choreography. They were RBWs first (and for a while, only) group and built the company from nothing, so much so that Rainbow Bridge is often referred to simply as: Mamamoos company. They have a giant and diverse catalog of songs and mvs, and even their cvs (songs that are basically commercials) are outstanding. All 4 members also have their own youtube channels, after their contracts were up Whee In and Hwa Sa signed with different companies for their solo work (theLive for Whee In (1st full album "In The Mood" recently dropped) and P Nation for Hwa Sa (Hwa Sa singles under P nation; I Love My Body, and Chili) but signed on with rbw for mamamoo stuff, the other 2 members, Moonbyul and Solar, created a sub-unit named Mamamoo+ and have realeased a few singles and 2 mini albums [so far] (Act 1, Scene 1 and 2 Rabbits) Dang... This turned out much longer than I was planning to make it 😅😅 sorry about that lol

Mamamoo is another very talented group. BlackPink is still my favorite, but Mamamoo; G-Idle; Itzy; Red Velvet are up there too. Why is BP my favorite? They were very influential in showcasing Kpop to the West. And in doing so opened the doors for all this talent. I have said before: Koreans are Master Entertainers (Music; dance; acting; movies; series; any screen production)

28:08 I'm glad you like Wheein's voice too! You are right, her voice is not being "powerful belting" like Solar's or sultry like Hwasa's. Her voice is difficult to describe especially for new listener, but moomoo (the fandom) calls Wheein's voice is "honey-like": it's soft, soothing, sweet, and feels like a hug to your soul. You hear her part in I Miss You (19:35) oohhh! Shiver! That's the kind of her voice.

Yes the Rapper - Moonbyul has a very different style of rap compare to the main stream rap. Main stream rap usually appears fierce, aggressive (Cardi B, Nikki Manaj, Jennie, Lisa,etc) and that's why we usually see "rap battle", "rap dis". However, Moonbyul style are a lot more laidback, and chill and when she get aggressive it's more like "let's get high together" rather than "I wanna fight you". Moonbyul is also the first rapper that I have ever seen can incoperate rap into ballads, jazz, retro, RnB, etc and makes it sound so good. If I have to describe her raps I would say it's very melodic and in character (kinda like in a musical). She is an amazing singer as well, her singing style is very emotional. Moonbyul also hold the record as the most credited female artist (she wrote 115 songs) and the fasttest rapper (eventhough her raps usually focus on the melody and emotions more than speed) in the Kpop industry.

Dingga : drink like a fish and eating ice cream was meant as a comfort song released in 2020 during covid lockdowns

I swear... Mr Ambiguous is a perfect intro into how varied and talented their singing capabilities are but this whole segment takes you for a ride. I saw them live, their voices were amazing and they still do choreo to their songs.

I think its worth noting how much theyre involved with all the behind the scenes writing, producing etc The rapper id the most credited female songwriter in K-pop

Hwa Sa, the lady on the far right, was very sick that day; Whee In, "the lady with the jacket" is considered the Mamamoo's backbone because of her extreme capabilities of blending with the other singers and her creativity is wide, just like her dance skills; Solar, the lady with the long hair, hasa powerful voice, even when she is not singing. She laughs loud, talk loud... She is loud 😂; Moon Byul is the best rapper in kpop industry, in my opinion, because she raps but at the same time seems like she is singing... I don't know how to explain... They are the actual standards...

Mamamoo's co-ceo and main producer had a vision. He wanted to form a kpop group who are talented and knows how to have fun on stage. They are trained like any standard kpop group and was given room to grow similarly to most boy groups, who are given or allowed some form of creative freedom(like writing/producing). Which is rarely seen in girlgroups. (G)-idle is an outlier in that aspect as it looks like Soyeon has complete creative control over her group. RBW, Mamamoo's company are good at rounding up talents and putting them into groups. Vromance, Mamamoo's brother group is also composed of good vocalists, thought they never really went mainstream. Purple Kiss, OneUs and OneWe, I've heard are also groups filled with talented people. Though one of the groups with One in their name was scouted/signed as a group and was renamed. I swear I've seen Snoop wear a sweater vest somewhere. Moonbyul, the rapper, was training as a vocalist before given the choice to switch to rap or drop out of the group a few months before debut. She is very laid back and her rap style reflects that so you won't really hear a lot of aggressive/fast raps from her apart from a few songs (Mr. Ambiguous, Moon Movie, Eclipse, maybe Aya, Lunatic, Girl Crush) but some of those I wouldn't consider aggressive. Her growls, if I remember correctly, are learned from Hwasa(girl in sweats) who actually trained in rap but only seldom rapped in the group. Which I'm particularly sad about cause she's good. And it would be fun to see more from them as their rap styles, much like their onstage persona, are black and white.

Mamamoo mi grupo favorito, gracias por su reacción ❤❤

Mamamoo immortal songs medley and Mamamoo's hit songs live collection are a must watch!

I had the pleasure of seeing them in LA this year. They are amazing. I believe Hwasa, the sultry one on the far right, had a cold during this performance. ❤❤❤

You've found the "Holy Grail" of Kpop... I am of the same opinion that each and every single group is amizing in their own way, and the effort and time they invest in their own music is amazing and worthy of praise..... But Mamamoo is just phenomenal... I sincerely think that vocal wise they're unmatched. I really commend you to watch any of their live performance, cause it's just heaven.... They put on a performance and show like no other. Tina Turner, MJ, Madonna, level of performance... It's art on itself. Extremely joyful to watch, they complement each other so well... it's just awesome.

❤ ❤❤ mamamoo is really immortal

Theyre really so amazing! you should check out their immortal songs performances, truly breathtaking

coach... mamamoo "where are we now" is epic ballad masterpiece that really showcase their vocals styles tones and harmonies..mv is epic beautiful..pls react to it

You should watch the Queendom performance of I Miss You, sung for their fans Moo, Moos....stunning!

MAMA-MOO - you pronounced it correctly - debuted June 2014 is often considered the best 3rd gen vocal line girl group (same gen as my faves BLACKPINK whose members also have distinctive vocal tones), but many forget SPICA was also amazing but unsuccessful (cheeky mv YOU DON'T LOVE ME being their most well-known song). Their 3 best songs are female empowerment song YES I AM (my #2 song of 2017 after BP - AS IF ITS YOUR LAST)., DECALCOMANIE (which you heard here, the extended mv is crazy amusing with the fruit smushes), and YOU'RE THE BEST with Hwasa a fiery redhead in mv. Yes, these girls can sing and they're from a medium sized company RBW which stands for Rainbow Bridge World (or as their juniors PURPLE KISS often joke 'really bad wi-fi'). Yes, PURPLE KISS are sorta their label's BABYMONSTER to older MAMAMOO, the younger group debuting after successful senior group, like BM debuting 7+ years after BP. PURPLE KISS 6 members are ages 20 to 24 (former 7th member JiEun is now 26, she left for health & anxiety reasons in 2022 after 4 mini albums) so they're older thsn BM. I know I've been promoting my #2 group PURPLE KISS in a lot of comments, but now after you hearing the older group at their company - known for great vocals - now maybe you can see why (and also because 2 members of PURPLE KISS were trainees previously at BLACKPINK company YG - Chaein has some of that YG swag and is my #2 fave vocalist after BLACKPINK Rosé). 5 years ago PK maknae and main vocalist Swan (then 15 now age 20) even recorded the vocal guide track for Mamamoo song Wind Flower years before PK debuted. PK have also appeared on tv shows with Mamamoo rapper Moonbyul (Weekly Idol ep 560 and as guest on her radio show) and KBS WORLD TV SHOW Boss in the Mirror showed Mamamoo leader Solar giving them advice during trainee evaluations before debut. I just didn't want to send you down the 9 years rabbit hole of MAMAMOO discography before you saw PURPLE KISS who had their first predebut song MHSAB about 3 years ago. MAMAMOO was once my #3 group now probably #6 (and have gone more to solo with much less group music past 2 years since Hwasa & Wheein left the label). I just like PURPLE KISS b-sides more than Mamamoo's. Where to start with PURPLE KISS: I'd suggest maybe starting with their witchy debut mv PONZOÑA (paired with 90 second Intro: CROWN), haunted hotel mv for 2023 song SWEET JUICE (paired with short Intro: SAVE ME) is more toeards R&B like their 2nd predebut mv CAN WE TALK AGAIN. The 5 title tracks from their mini albums each had a spooky short Intro track (Freaky Purky the Intro for ZOMBIE was later expanded into the great b-side PRETTY PSYCHO with a spooky performance video). MEMEM had Intro ILLUSION and NERDY mv where the witches take over a tv station fighting for outsiders without a voice had Intro BYE BYE BULLY. For something a bit silly there's the mv for their catchy song ZOMBIE (I mentioned in a comment previously there's a very different remix of it with darker vibe in Halloween performance video). Here's 3 from the many vocal covers where PURPLE KISS showed off their vocals: PURPLE KISS are also known sometimes having a bit too much fun on radio shows being goofy while other members are singing (like AUTOPILOT performance on MBC Idol Radio). Here's them being more serious showing off their vocals while making a male soloist Kpop cover song their own and dancing: NOFILTER STAGE MR 제거 - PURPLE KISS - KAI - (Mmmh) on 1theK Originals RU-vid channel:: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0LCjDy9DZA4.htmlsi=jsJjytXmU0KAWX59 PURPLE KISS main vocalists Chaein, Na GoEun, and Swan show off vocals doing a cover of PSYCHO (Red Velvet song) for KPOP JAMM ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S2qLP4zdcAo.htmlsi=VJwvBR6iE0w3En47 Distinctive main vocal maknae Swan also did a James Bond OST theme mashup of SKYFALL and NO TIME TO DIE. We haven't heard a Kpop vocalist with a voice quite like hers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mjkyZ6gPt9w.html Their channel has a playlist with 99 videos of vocal covers, including ones where Swan appeared while promoting her 2 song solo, singing covers on Beginagain 비긴어게인.

They are like EnVogue and TLC combining powers. Love Mamamoo. Hwasa is my favorite.

Came for the Casting, stayed and thoroughly enjoyed my into to Mamamoo. I've heard of them, but with life and so much music out there, I'd never gotten around. Mesmerizing and playful. What a blast!

Mama moo are the best of the best. I would suggest reacting to some of their live stage shows. My 23 yr old daughter recommended them to me. I have no regrets. ❤

Welcome to mamamoo worlds... 😊😊😊❤❤❤

The numbers "nine six six nineteen" In Korea the standard work day is 9 to 6 instead of US's 9 to 5 and they debuted June nineteenth in 2014. So the numbers are when they went to work. You may want to watch a guide to find out more about the members. They are all wonderful as people as well as vocalists. The Purple Hawk one is my favorite but the Moo-YT one is more up to date. They are both good. The version of I Miss You that you want is the Qeendom performance (there is usually no blocking problem with the Queendom one performances). I would very much recommend their Immortal Songs Medley. This performance that was part of their 2017 concert, and is their ultimate vocal flex. Immortal songs is a competition show where the contestants cover songs by famous Korean singers. Mamamoo has performed 14 times and were the first girl group to win and the first idol group to win 3 times. The medley is put together from half a dozen of those performances.

I think the difference in Moonbyuls rap is that she has a naturally lower, deeper voice, so she can rap in a way that sounds strong without it being shouty or having to actually raise her voice. It lets her add so much more colour to her rapping because she can do it low but soft, low and aggressive and loud, and also has an incredible growl. Lisa and Jenny are fantastic, but while they are able to lower their pitches on recordings, its not a comfortable spot for their voices, so generally when they perform live, their pitch is higher than studio versions and therefore sounds less aggressive unless they shout. I also really love that Mamamoo are all absolutely killing it as adult women. Lets face it, the media is kind of scared of adult women who behave like adult women, and in South Korea where being a mature adult woman in control of her body and sexuality is still not overly socially acceptable, it makes them even more unique.

Mamamoo is only 2 years older than Blackpink but their target audience from the very start is adults so yes they are a lot more mature and does't seem like teeny Kpop type of group. (Some of their audiences are not even Kpop fans because they release jazz, ballad songs as well). Mamamoo is famous for their vocal (and their signature is adding adlibs & harmonies to their songs) to the point other idols use them as a term for adlibs or harmonies. There were instants people said things like "That harmony was so good I thought Mamamoo was here." or "Oh that was Mamamoo kind of vocal right there!" as a compliment on TV shows.

this group is part of the kpop genre which is mostly about a balance of visuals, dancing, and singing but not one in particular we have other genres in korea, like ballads, which focus more on pure vocals and are usually unrivalled in singing skills 😊

Wow. You've got a lot of good comments already. I'm not going to read them all while watching your reaction so forgive me if I repeat what others have said but I wanted to reply to some of your comments and questions as we go along starting with Mrs Coach's compliment for whoever put Mamamoo together and her comment about how well their voices blend while having distinctly different styles and timbres. Mamamoo was assembled by a famous kpop songwriter named Kim Dohoon, who is the co-CEO of RBW (Rainbowbridge World). RBW was a new startup agency 10 years ago and Kim Dohoon wanted to start off by debuting a different kind of girl group. The usual kpop formula for forming a girl group is to select members whose looks and skills fit a pre-conceived marketing concept such as cute, innocent, sexy or girl crush but KDH formed Mamamoo with the idea of promoting them as artists rather than teen idols. The Mamamoo members were plucked off the pile of audition rejects and retreads from other companies based on their vocal talent, performance skills and creativity. Leader Solar (2nd from left) was rejected by about 50 other agencies because she was thought to be too old (she was over the hill being over 20 yo lol) and Hwasa (far right) was bluntly told she didn't measure up to kpop's standards because she was fat and ugly and sent packing. The other two (rapper Moonbyul & singer Wheein) signed with RBW after failing to debut with another company. Many kpop idols are just performers (nothing wrong with that!) but from the beginning Mamamoo has been involved with all creative aspects of their career including songwriting, vocal arrangements, choreography, styling and MV concepts. I haven't noticed the term lately, probably because it has become more common, but back in 2014 it was unusual for idols to be so hands on as creators and Mamamoo were referred to as "self-sown idols." I think there are two reasons their unique voices blend so well - massive amounts of hard work and the alchemy of true friendship, which imo is the secret sauce that elevates them to the next level. Wheein and Hwasa have been best friends since middle school and Solar & Moonbyul are practically inseparable. Mamamoo believes they were destined to meet and become best friends even if they weren't singers or in a group together and they have several songs on that topic. They're notorious workaholics in an industry known for its insane work ethic and Solar leads the way in that respect. Though Solar is the #1 crackhead in a group known for their goofiness she's also extremely well organized, detail oriented and driven to succeed and is someone who will not fail due to insufficient effort. She's been known to say "Lazy people have no future." Solar is so obsessive about working hard that I think the other members have a hard time keeping up with her and that's why they call themselves "The Loser Crew" lol. Mamamoo used to make 3 or 4 appearances a day when they were getting established and they have kept up a frenetic pace ever since. In 2022 they recorded and/or performed over 50 new songs (originals & covers) as a group, solo or subunit and that was a year when they had a limited amount of time because for almost 6 months Solar was rehearsing and performing in her critically acclaimed musical theatre debut playing the lead in Mata Hari and the group was busy the last two months of the year kicking off their first world tour. The hand gestures in Starry Night were part of the choreography. I'm not sure about those specific movements but the Starry Night choreo includes sign language for "The stars are shining." In the video the Korean title of Starry Night is shown: 별이 빛나는 밤. Mamamoo makes an effort to be inclusive of hearing impaired folks by using sign language in their choreo and Wheein (2nd from right) has been seen using sign language with fans during fanmeets. I saw your puzzled expressions when Moonbyul started Gogobebe by rapping "9 / 6, 6 19, 9 / 6 gogobebe!" Mamamoo likes to play with letter, number and bi-lingual word substitutions. I'll explain Moonbyul's numerology for you. First off Gogobebe is aka 9966 with 9 standing for g and 6 for b. 9 to 6 is the standard Korean work day. Mamamoo debuted on June 19th in 2014 (6 19). And finally 9 /6, 6 19 is a palindrome with the slash becoming a one when reversed. So "9 /6, 6 19, 9966 (gogobebe)" translates to "We've been working nonstop since our debut and it's time to go, go baby and PAR-TAY!!" lol Dingga is a slang word meaning fool around and have fun. Dingga was released during the pandemic as a way of cheering us up while we were socially distant. In the song and MV they fantasize about all the things they wish they could do with friends of all ages like eating ice cream or drinking like a fish. Mamamoo's fandom name is moomoo. Many moomoos can't pick a bias and are OT4. Don't worry about picking a bias - even if you do you'll get bias wrecked on a regular basis. :) You're saying Mamamoo correctly: mama + moo. It's a nonsense word that was the original title of their debut single Mr Ambiguous, the first song in this medley. Mr Ambiguous was written for Quincy Jones by Kim Dohoon and the girls performed it for Quincy when he was in Seoul for a concert while they were still trainees and didn't have a name for their group. QJ decided not to use the song so it was partially re-written and re-titled and the original title became the group's name. The Killing Voice medley includes a very small sample of Mamamoo's extremely diverse discography up to 2020 when the vid was filmed. They've released over a dozen albums as a group and another dozen or so as solo artists or a subunit. Add in their OST songs for movies and kdramas, collaborations and features with other artists, many dozens of covers and you've probably got about 400 - 500 songs to enjoy. And, as any moomoo will tell you, Mamamoo is best when they're live and there are literally hundreds of hours of live performances available on yt. Welcome to the wild, wacky, wonderful world of Mamamoo, one of the most fascinating and talented groups in S Korea. Hope you enjoy getting to know them!

The rapper Moonbyul/Moonstar is THE ONLY female out of 24 K-Pop idols with the most songs copyright registered with the Korea Music Copyright Association because she makes her own rap verses. Hereon, I suggest you watch all Killing Voice performances and you'll be blown.

MAMAMOOOO! Our Vocal Queens! Their vocals, versatility, and harmonization is outstanding! As you have noticed, all four of them are so personable and lovable as well. They are my favorite female group from Korea. Now, that you've had a taste, hope you check them out in full.

To anwers your question about the numbern in "GOGOBEBE" 9/6 is just a reference to office hours (since the song is all about "leave your suit and tie, it's party time") and June 19 is their debut date. For some reason I didn't know either. Thanks for making me eduacte myself on MAMAMOO🤣

People may have put them together…But they fought hard to stay together.

Thank you for react to our vocal queens. They deserve all the love in the group version and to their individual musical careers. All the love for you guys and ¡Long Live to Mamamoo!

if you do want to watch more MAMAMOO then i suggest going back to the beginning, they released 2 MVs pre-debut, DON'T BE HAPPY and PEPPERMINT CHOCOLATE then released debut song MR AMBIGUOUS. Enjoy the journey. OT4.

MAMAMOO is one of the most popular groups in south korea, they aren't underrated. Maybe globally, but in their home turf, they are huge. Even as solo members they get #1 on charts

Fun fact about Dingga: The song was released in the summer of 2020 to celebrate the end of a lot of COVID lockdowns.

люблю ваши реакции. так же люблю мамаму. мне больше нравятся их живые выступления, чем музыкальные видео. делайте на них реакции чаще пожалуйста

Mr and Mrs. Coach: I would have suggested Mamamoo to you at a later date. Why? You kind of have to get a feel of the K-Pop Industry before getting to them. There is almost nobody that can beat them when it comes to Vocals. Mamamoo is a Group that you work your way toward, as your K-Pop journey goes. Not to start off with. These Ladies are some of the World's best Singers/Songwriters. Period. The Group's name comes from what a baby's 1st words might be. What you just witnessed is a "Greatest hits" package. And yes, please check each of their MV's for these.

MAMAMOO 😍🥰🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️

I liked coach's face when they started singing and paused

Big Mama Killing voice !!!!!! Nearly every song is of the caliber of I Miss You on this one.

another killing voice session that is worth watching is Big Mama. They are an older group but great vocals.

I definitely recommend Big Mama's Killing Verse as well. Each of them were/are professors at Universities and are a masterclass in vocals!🙌

Im so happy this was recommended to me. I love watching ppl get introduced to Mamamoo via Killing Voice. I cant wait to see more possible reactions

Each of the girls have solo songs too. From Moonbuyl (rapper) i'd recommend Eclipse, Lunatic, and Shutdown (3 different styles from her), From Solar (long hair) I'd recommend Honey, and Spit it out, From Wheein I'd recommend Easy, and Make Me happy, and from Hwasa, i'd recommend Twit, Maria, LMM. They all have many more amazing songs, Hwasa and Wheein just came out with some new ones too. I Miss you makes me cry every time, and Wheein is my Bias =). hope you enjoy your journey with Mamamoo!

OMGGG FINALLLYYYY😭🥰🤭

They are STUNNING!! BEST OF THE BEST!!!

I hadn't checked out Mamamoo yet, but this just might force me to. A lot of those songs were really good and they sure can sing. Your reactions are awesome as always. The Killing Voice is basically a show where artist showcase a bunch of snippets from their songs. It's a good show for getting a feel for new artists. If you want good singers I would recommend Taeyeon (she is in the group Girls Generation, but her solo stuff is awesome). Her episode is really good, although possibly she is more in Mrs. Coach's wheelhouse.

Watch their debut stage with live vocals and the dance 😻

The choreography for "Starry Night" incorporates sign languages. 😆♥
