MAMAMOO's Communication Skills | Reaction & Analysis (First Reaction) 

Should I check out some more recent Mamamoo videos as well? Click here for my uncut reaction & analysis (34 minutes): www.patreon.com/posts/59952950

Ohhh welcome to another iconic group! Mamamoo are the vocal queens of Kpop but we also love them because they're very open regarding beauty standards. Belive it or not, they don't fit into the Korean beauty standard which always made people dislike them but they broke free from those chains and freely talk about how they don't need those people :)

If I had to pick one word to describe Mamamoo, it's confidence. I'm ARMY so I really just stan one group but I have loved Mamamoo for a long time because they have that same strong vein of sincerity that carries through their work, their art, and their love for each other. They feel real to me in a way a lot of groups don't.

I am an absolute fan of mamamoo, Mamamoo is known for not "conforming" to Korean Standards. I'd honestly recommend for you to react to more of their latest videos or interview's rather. Love your reactions

Moonbyul is an older sister like me and when I’m with my younger siblings in a new or more proper environment I tend to focus alot on my sibling behavior: make sure that they are getting to say what they want to say or being understood or if they are being too loud I will be more quiet to balance things. That’s how I personally understood why she is more quiet, but I don’t know how common this behavior is with other older sisters

"Hwasa looks like a badass" - she is!!! I love her so much

Solar is the leader of the group and the eldest member whereas Hwasa is the youngest member... She's a badass indeed in every single way, as an artist and as a person. All of them are breaking the korean standars 🙌 in this video they were pretty young but now they're more mature and they speak for themselves more, for sure! I really love them❤

They were babies here, they were fighting to make the group grow and had to be really engaging with all their activities to show their personalities to the public. They have definitely become more free after these years, because they are now respected artists and can show more easily and in a more natural way their personalities (also they've changed, like everyone does when they get older)

Hwasa really is the most sensitive. She expresses love easily and to the fullest extent in public while the others are what Hwasa calls a "tsundere". 😂 This interview is one of the better ones because Mamamoo is less reserved but they're often very professional and distant in interviews. Variety content is where they really sparkle because they love to play and when they're feeding off of each other's energy it's always a good time.

I'm so surprised almost everything you said was accurate! I'd love to see more. more recent clips of mamamoo will help you see moonbyul's personality more too.

Yes mamamoo my favorite girlgroup ever

If this is your first Mamamoo video, I applaud you on the accuracy of Hwasa personality. Yes, she is an independent confident woman. A very strong, bold, fierce and honest one. And yes, she isn't doing what the rest of korean idols normally do, she is different, her own way and in her own league. She is the only woman who successfully defies the korean beauty standard and excelled in doing so. She went from the most hated individual in SK to now the most loved woman. She is known as the Queen Hwasa.

Oh hiiiii!! I'm Hyacinth, the one who asked for it on Twitter, thank you so much for reacting to MAMAMOO!! I hope you'll do even more in the future, I love your analysis 🥺🥺

moonbyul struggled with her vocal confidence a lot during mamamoo’s early years (being a rapper in a group of vocal powerhouses) so that’s probably why she was looking down during their little recital. otherwise she’s really not that shy lol.

I love so much Mamamoo. Thanks for your reaction!

It's amazing how this reading of the girls is pretty spot on. Even though all of them consider themselves to be shy, it's normally Solar and Hwasa who take the lead during conversations. Solar is actually the leader of the group and Hwasa is indeed the one who expresses her vulnerability more often. And yeah, Wheein is usually very easy to read. As for Moonbyul, I'm thinking since this is the beginning of their career, she was still coming to terms with being the rapper in a vocally focused group. That might be why she doesn't feel so at ease. I'm really interested in watching the complete reaction. Also, I'd love if you could do another analysis of a more recent video of the girls and compare how things changed or didn't change. Anything involving Mamamoo is a guaranteed watch from me so thank you for this and keep them coming please.

Thank you so much!!! I love Mamamoo. This is an old interview, I hope you react to a newer one. And yes, Solar is the lider but Hwasa has a great personality. They are my favorite group because they have really built a friendship over the years and have gotten to know and appreciate each other. On another occasion, Solar said that she used to scold Hwasa a lot when they first debuted and that years later she had felt guilty because she realized that she had been too harsh. And that now she has a soft spot for Hwasa and is very proud of her accomplishments as a singer.

Absolutely loved the analysis! And it's impressive how much you've been on point about many things: - Solar is indeed the leader of the group. Since she never took up an eldest/leader role in her life before she revealed that she was very pressured by the position in their early days (like this interview) and felt the responsibility of being the face of the group and making people like her. - Hwasa's nickname is 'My Way', and she's very outspoken about who she is and what she wants to do. She's incredibly honest about her emotions too and that translates into her solo music. And yes, she's extremely popular internationally lol - I was impressed by your reading of Wheein's personality because not a lot of people notice that about her at first. She's very transparent and can hardly hide what she's thinking or feeling. - Now Moonbyul, it's true that in their early days, and as the eldest in her own family, she had taken up the role of someone on the quieter side who watches over her over-energetic members, and balances out their hyperness. I would love to see you react to a more recent video, namely because you'll be surprised at how the dynamics changed overtime, especially for Moonbyul who did a complete 180° turn lol

Hwasa became famous on variety shows for her personality, everyone says that she looks real , for this reason they love it

Glad to see you analysing Mamamoo!! They are such talented women with unique personalities... Love our Queens!

I love Mamamoo’s personalities and music. They’re phenomenal singers and also strong independent brave young women who fight back restrictive societal rules and don’t just compromise their true selves to “fit in” and avoid haters. I think they’re such good role models especially for young girls who have similar struggles with fitting the impossibly high beauty/femininity standards. Btw I honestly don’t respect this “culture” of incredibly high and narrow beauty standards. I came from an Asian country myself and I’ve seen so many women there get shamed for their weight, tanned skin, small eyes, deep voice (yeah a lot of people in Asia hate girls with deep voice lol), ambitious “bossy” personalities etc. And I’ve seen these women internalising these shames, having low self-esteem and believing they’re “ugly” or not feminine enough, just because they don’t fit others’ expectations. As an Asian woman who has experienced all this, it is quite tiring on the soul. I felt like I was trying to respect a culture that doesn’t respect me. I love my culture but does it love me back? I’m around the same age as Mamamoo and, at some point, I just “gave up” on those feminine standards. I was just exhausted. I looked at these girls and how happy they are by just being themselves. Women like them made me realise that it’s ok to just chill and be who they are. You can be happy and successful without obeying what everyone else tells you to do. That was actually a very hard lesson for me and many girls/boys to learn.

Started out confident, but became more confident. You can really see the difference in their style, lyrics, dance, and they just get humbler & they're truly "different" for an idol group

Aahh!! My favorite group ever next to BTS. I hope you do decide to react more to them. They’re so amazing and their bond is beautiful. ❤️

These videos are making me to start to analyse my own communication skills - although I'm very happy about that!!!!😊And I know that one of the reasons you do this blog is to help ppl with their own communication skills.👍🙏 Ponderings aside (and because I always feel the need to be different to everyone else in my YT comments), can I just say that poutine is a heart attack on a plate but is also the best thing since sliced bread!!!!!😅😅👍👍

Hwa sa is an incredible woman! And also her music and vocals are amazing!

I love Mamamoo soo much, they are The Artists. Their vocals, charisma, stage presence and sincerity are on another level

Yes! i was hoping you would do Mamamoo as well. Ironically Moonbyul is the most extroverted out of the all, when they were talking about high it is their inside joke, nothing to feel uncomfortable about! They even made song called 1cm about their highs. :DD It would be really cool to see you react to them again, maybe with some more up to date video, like when they were on studio moon night. :D

thank you so much for checking them out!! the girls are incredibly honest and out there, they never shy away from expressing themselves, getting themselves into slight trouble sometimes even 😭 but they are so so hardworking and so so talented! thank you so much!! p.s: Solar also has a RU-vid channel (Solarsido) where she takes on challenges and does different kinds of stuff, maybe worth checking out for you!

You need to react to a more recent video. This was near when they first debut. Moonbyul was more quiet and shy then because her self esteem had been shattered because of their CEO who told her she could only debut if she became a rapper so she had to learn to rap when her passion was singing and she has a very beautiful voice when she sings. Also she was told to control how wide she smiled because she was "ugly" when she smiled widely.

talking about Solar “this put together, charming girl” every moomoo: o_o

Omgg please keep reacting to mamamoo 😭💕

loved this video! to get a good look at solar you should check out “solar being the leader of mamamoo”, you’re right about there being a lot more to solar than what meets the eye and i think that video best demonstrates how multifaceted she is

There are some really interesting clips now that I wish I could see you react to! Like ones where interviewers have antagonized mamamoo, or just fun ones where they're with an interviewer that they're comfortable around. This was really really interesting to watch and you're clearly good at your job!

Mamamoo has a lot of chemistry as a group. They are funny and happy; and I feel like you could see and analyze a lot of things if you went down this route and tried to see more from them (please do!!) ❤️

They’re all such different yet personalities which are so unique and blend together so smoothly. I’d sorta describe them as just four friends that have come together to make music. And Hwasa and Wheein have actually been best friends since middle school. Fun fact: aside from all the normal content from mamamoo, we’re spoilt with their individual content. Like solar has her really popular RU-vid channel and Hwasa is a regular on this Korean tv show called I live alone where you see how some celebs spend a day of their life. Hwasa is also known as the mukbang queen bcs she has literally made all types of food sell out, the most iconic being cow intestines😂 The other two, when and moon yuk haven’t released as much content as the other two but they still have guested in some shows and released their own solos as well. And I know wheein esp out of all the members releases a lot of covers and has soo many collars Bcs she has the best honey voice which blends well with anyone (honestly sometimes the backbone of their harmonies Bcs her voice goes well with anyone) Hope you enjoy watching these ladies. Also I’m sure you’ll release but they’ll give off more of a mature vibe as honestly they started much ‘later’ compared when some other idols debut.

Thank you for reacting and analysing the group i love most..that video is from a few years back and the girls grown and mature along with time...moonbyul is now very confident with herself and has a great social skills...hwasa is still a badass ( but has the softest heart)...wheein is still goofy and funny and the livewire of the group...and our best leader is still the happiest, the most caring and mother of the group....i love this group very much..

Wow! As a moo moo, I would say most (if not all) the things you analyzed about the members was true, but as you said, there are definitely other sides to them, and I feel like you didn’t get to see much of Moonbyul. One thing to note, that would add a bit of context, is that Mamamoo released a song called 1cm taller than you on this (melting) album; it’s a fun song where the members are just dissing each other and nitpicking about their heights, so that might have been why it was brought up in the interview. I’m not sure what clips are best to recommend for you to analyze, but there’s a really great one of Solar ft. the members (of course) called “Solar being the leader and mother of Mamamoo”:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zDHpaw9IHTs.html

Thank you for reacting to MAMAMOO! Everything (or majority of them) you said are really accurate and I'd love for you to watch more of what they do! If you're not bothered about the length of the video, I'd like to recommend their Idol Radio episode where Yong Leader (Solar) and future CEO Moon (the name she has during her 3 times weekly radio show named Studio Moon Night) are the DJs/MCs while WheePup and Ahn My Way Hyejin (Hwasa's name), also known as Ahnyonce, were the guests. The whole episode was 1h 30mins long as they went overtime, but the PD didn't tell them about it and let them overrun, which you'll find out the reason why if you ever decide to watch it. 😁😁😁 I've loved your reaction here and have subscribed, and would love to see more insights of how MMM appears to you.😁👍👍👍

I felt that way too, this is a little cringey to watch for us foreigners, I cannot believe they went on and on about physicalities too much, but the girls of Mamamoo are such great artists and I feel this has been so overlooked in this interview. I hope there are better interviews of them than this because they are great !

I was really waiting for you to finally react to Mamamoo, your analysis was really spot on ! However I think it'd be really interesting for you to watch some more recent videos from them. This was from 2016, only two years after their debut and to say they've evolved would be an undertatement ! Also fun fact: Moonbyul is actually really close friend with Jin from BTS, and nowadays she's known as the ultimate troll and tease of the group !

Since this is quite early in their career, I'd be so interested to see a recent one to see if you can notice how they have changed over the years!

Oh man.. Mamamoo is so awesome in every sense of the way. They're an incredibly talented group with such intense and lively energy that sometimes it easily become pure fun chaos. Besides their amazing chemistry with each other, they're such strong individuals that exult confidence and charm in everything they do both together and on their own. Since you reacted to an interview from their debut era (over seven year ago) it would be interesting to watch you reacting to their growth over the years.

Moonbyul mostly only had the rap lines of their songs before that during acapella she used to look down at times...she's getting more parts now tho

Korean humour and social interactions are naturally different from say Western. Comments on looks are made very openly and is usually taken without any hint of offense. So if a foreigner felt insulted in Korea simply because someone pointed out something about their appearance then he/she would be considered the 'uncomfortable' and overly sensitive person in that situation. One must also consider the obvious fact that the same sentence can carry completely different nuances when said in different languages, especially when read in written captions. p.s the talk about their height is a running joke between Mamamoo and their fans.

Thank you so much for reacting to MAMAMOO!! I enjoyed this video! You pretty much nailed it! They're very genuine people! And all of them are badass! 💖

Oh you haven't seen nothing yet lol their bond is like no other K-pop group especially girl groups. Hope to see more Mamamoo vids Funfact Hwasa and Wheein are best friends and went to elementary school together.

Hwasa is very confident, she received a lot ofhate since the debut. I suggest to react to Zach sang interview !

Mamamoo are so confident that i enjoy myself only seeing them doing photoshoot all their charms really get to me 🙈

I’m glad that you said it made you uncomfortable bc that’s an actual problem with Korean variety shows. A lot of shows seem like they make fun of the idol and the idol obviously can’t say anything about it, they just sit there and laugh nervously. It’s like their intentionally trying to make the idol feel bad for entertainment but the thing is ITS NOT ENTERTAINING 😭 ITS UNCOMFORTABLE They make the idol AND the audience feel bad on multiple levels and honestly I’m not here for it

We're all a little weak for Hwa Sa 🥰

I love all the compliments and accuracy of Hwasa's portrayal! You have great observation skills! She's indeed a star with great international popularity (if only their company would actually PROMOTE her, she would be on top, I promise). And what she said about herself is also true, she's also very sensitive, because despite that badass attitude she has on public, there's also a lot of vulnerability in her that she has revelead in her songs and to her fans. You also picked Solar's energy really well here, she's really a sunshine as her name suggests 😊, and the leader of Mamamoo, and the group was in the early days here, so she was still adjusting to that role, I think. And Wheein bluntness is really true! She's very honest about her feelings! And I think you need to see more of Moonbyul to get to know her! Moonbyul now has a radio show and a youtube channel as well (moonbyul2da), she had 2 popular girlgroups that are her friends as guests in one of her recent videos, maybe an opportunity to know Moonbyu more! (And also Seulgi from Red Velvet and Hyojung from Oh My Girl are in the video)

BTS and Mamamoo are on another level when it comes to being genuine, Real, and relatable. They both came from smal agencies which makes their success quite remarquable. Bts Moonbyul and Jin are friends, just to help you get her personality more, and most of the time she actually acts like a mother to the group ( Solar is the eldest, Moonbyul is the second eldest) I love all the girls, each one of them is uniquely different. but Moonbyul is just my favorite person, because she doesn't play the sexy or cute persona (even if she is to me) she's just herself and I love it. The girls don't shy away from saying what they think, and I respect that so much. On social events they may seem aloof and intimidating ( especially Hwassa ) but when they are together it's just so fun to see💜 Loved your reaction, thank you so much. I hope you'll see more of them. I think if you like BTS you'll definetly love Mamamoo, their confidence is on another level. I always love to hear your insight, it's really cultivating, thank you👏🙏

yeees! mamamoo is my fav girl group, they are really the best

I did not realize how much I would enjoy and wanted to watch this video of yours!! I loved all the information and you are really spot on on so many things!! wow, this is super impressive!

max you are the real thing..as momoo you called everything 95% spot on just from watching a small clip amazing..please do more as they are goofy, crazy yet shy

I’m so happy you’re doing MAMAMOO!!! They’re so awesome 😆😆

As far as reaction videos go, this is really a fresh breath of air. I have alway enjoyed observing and analysing people, so whatching your videos and hearing a more professional and detailed opinion is truly fascinating and entertaining to me :)

Wow your analysis is so on point 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I absolutely love mamamoo omg thank you so much for doing this, I hope you can do something recent next tim !!

Please do more MAMAMOO omg they are amazing girls and very unique. I think u will be very surprised with Moonbyul’s personality. There they were trying to be more collected since it was right on their early days as a group and were trying to make it grow, but nowadays they are kinda different and u will see much more about how open they are.

Im so happy about this video!!! Thank you for reacting to them 🤍🤍 and I would defo recommend the Zach sang interview with them !!

Subscribed for more Mamamoo! ❤️

Hwasa is actually very famous in south korean for being real . She is a badass

Thank you for reacting to mamamoo. You were on point about Solar . She's an INFJ in her MBTI . It's characteristic trait of her to be attentive to people , she's a good listener , gives off a leader vibe , knows how to carry herself , can make people feel her presence .

I'm so happy to see this video, that's really interesting and entertaining. I will look forward to more mamamoo on you channel ^^

Thank you so much for making these videos maybe you're the only one who makes this kind of content and i rhink you should definitly check out some shinee videos they are a very popular boy group and i feel like their personalities would be very interesting i hope you make videos of them soon

They are talking about 1 cm because they have a song that teases each other about how short they are. It’s a fun talking point because of the song. You gotta know the context of the conversation.

So exciting to see Mamamoo pop up on this channel!!

A mamamoo analysis?! Count me in 🤩

Hey Max, so happy to see you react to Mamamoo, another one of my favourite groups! I think you were pretty spot on in your analysis. Mamamoo radiate confidence and realness. But I had to agree with you on your feeling of unease about the many comments about appearances. If I may add some context, when they were starting out Mamamoo and especially Hwasa got a lot of negativity for not fitting the Korean beauty standards. Of course they powered through and became very successful, but I think it probably did affect them quite a bit, especially early on. These themes are touched on in some of their songs and they are known for their kind of love-yourself and do-your-own-thing power anthems ;) I would love for you to react to more of their videos, especially more recent ones. Anyway, keep up the good work. See you in the next video.

Wow, watching an old video like this really brings out how much they’ve changed over time. If you do a more recent one, maybe do their interview with Jaejae. They all seem more comfortable there and show a different side of themselves.

I love Mamamoo! Thank you so much for making this video. I hope you react to more recent videos of them!

can't wait for you to check more recent ones

Omg yesss! I always question how people see these ladies at first

OMG i cant believe Mamamoo is in this chanel, please keep doing it, theyre amazing 🔥❤️

this was an interesting analysis! It's a bit different way to look at the group then most other vids here and I really enjoyed it

6:35 This was in the album that's why this is talked about here. It's more like fun teasing rather than malicious (plus they're just 1 cm apart😅)

Ahhahhahah😂😂 don't worry 1cm it's nowhere near that serious it's just them fighting about their 1cm difference in height with each other 🤣 even tho they're all around the 160 cm and yes you can consider that short in kpop industry i guess this interview was incidentally so focused on appearance or they made it like that it seemed a lot serious but it's literally just a funny song Mamamoo has some of them like this for example a song about kimchi the lyrics are literally a recipe for it 🤣 Mamamoo it's a feel good group inspirational for breaking the standard and inspire women 🥰

Please react to 'MAMAMOO 45 F/W Concert - Hwasa Solo Perf.' Hwasa is showing of her amazing story telling skills. I think it would be great to analyse her communication skills with her crowd. It was a really inspiring performance Hwasa ♛ our Queen of Queens

Oh, I hope he checks more of them. Maybe that amazing guide ♡♡♡ They are definitely more of what this interview shows

Mamamoo are so funny and talented you should definitely do more reactions to them!

I think the reason the whole 1cm thing was brought up by the host is that the artist's company typically supply some potential talking points to the tv show. And it's well known in the fandom that the girls argue in a "friendly" way about height because they're all short. They even have a song about it called 1cm. You were spot on with quite a few observations, however, when you look deeper things may not be so clear cut. For instance Hwasa is well know for her confidence and commanding (even scary) presence on stage, but off stage she may actually be the most gentle of the members.

Yay!!!! The vocal queens 🥰

Yessss mamamoo is so fun !!!!

this is very interesting. more mamamoo please

Actually, the height conversation is their internal joke. They are all short by the "idol" standards and they joke constantly about it. They even have a song about how short they are :D

My favorite girl gruop❤️ You should react to more recent interviews of them. And I agree about the topic that Corea has about physical qualities in the interviews, Idk but sometimes make me feel uncomfortable. It’s a very important topic in their culture so I try to understand😕

you should watch their more recent videos like mamamoos idol radio show from 2019. it displays their personalities really accurately

The interview talks about looks a lot because the two songs they are promoting are talking about it. They made a song dissing each other on height and their main track was a song about a guy who has all the qualities they want and it’s called You’re the Best. So that’s why this interview seemed so physically focused.

YES THE QUEENS

Thank you for the analysis😍 this broaden up my knowledge👍👍 I'd like to give you a suggestion in comparing them in old video and latest video

I'm really interested in this group because they're really talented and these reactions help me get to know them better. But before I go to their next video, I have to check out my ult group's qmentary interview again lol

Aw yes! This is one of their earlier interviews, but I would definitely be curious as to what you can notice about their more recent stuff. Would recommend a fun little variety show, something along the lines of “When the Manager Falls Asleep, Mamamoo 2018”

Mamamoo and BTS share a lot of fans!! 💜 Hwasa is the youngest ~ She's the groups Maknae and she is a QUEEN. Cannot wait for you to look more in to Mamamoo!!

Wow, spot on! But you need to see more of them. This was just a skin deep

If you want to react to a real "authentic" "talented" "artists" group. MAMAMOO is the best choice for you. Clearly there is more of them that you don't know, please try checking them out more.

OMG yesss MAMAMOO

YEESSS FINALLY MY GIRLS

The choice of the video you analyzed is peculiar, that's really an old video. Anyway you nailed about Hwasa! This was so interesting to watch, the way you got a trait of Hwasa's personality just by the way she was standing. I hope you will do it again with a more recent Mamamoo video

Queen!!!
