I'm rewatching this Reaction and can I just say, Its sad how 90% of these comments are about the whole Mina/Jimin controversy instead about the group's performance and music (there's more members to the group than Jimin). And it's especially sad seeing a new side to the whole story and how ridiculous this whole situation honestly was. Regardless, AOA is an amazing group who's dropped many great songs and performances, they as a group did not deserve all this unnecessary hate.
So Jimin controversy aside. This group was really really good and successful back in the day. They had a lot of amazing hits and super talented singers. Its unfortunate such a toxic person was in the group (though tbh, we still don't know the full story) because they had a revival after being on Queendom after being quiet for a few years and now it seems like they've fallen off again. I don't support Jimin, she has left the group and industry after the controversy but I still love AOA and am sad the others have to suffer the consequences.
Idk if I’ve dreamed it but didn’t Mina say the others were on Jimin’s side when they all went to her house and was hella mad when she had posted that instagram post and Jimin was all like ”you want me to fucking die for this shit!?!!!??!!” or some shit?
@@adara4635 it’s all over the place. Keep in mind, Mina was not in the best mental state at the time went she posted all those statements. From what I remember, her statements went back and forth. She’d hint at other members, then post again saying they weren’t to blame etc. Honestly there could be a lot of mistranslations in this whole situation too. It’s best to stay neutral in this situation instead just of just throwing everyone under the bus. It’s easy to want to believe the points where Mina hints at other members but because she seems to backtrack and side with the other members too, I honestly don’t think her words should be completely trusted either. Remember, there’s multiple sides to every story. FYI, just so we’re clear, I’m not defending Jimin in any way and if the other members did in fact participate in the bullying or did nothing to stop it, then yes, I do think they deserve to be punished for it, but the fact is, the rest is all just speculation.
That performance was kinda "shocking" (in a good sense, i hope) for koreans because they aren't used to seeing drag queens. So yeah, AOA was quite bold bringing them to the stage. I also love when artists cover songs and put their unique spin on it. Great video, as always!
dunno if you know mamamoo's 2016 mma performance or not, since it seems to have flown under the radar for quite a few people, but they did something similar there with the genderfluid dance troupe pinkycheeks. kinda sad that something like that didn't really happen again until aoa's cover here and then a final time with mamamoo's "hip"mv... but i suppose it's to be expected with such a conservative country
They'd been voguing dancers, rather seem to be a drag queen. It was a big twist telling either suits or high heels are not the exclusive property of one side Gender, especially on the stage.
International fans are always one step behind context and making up their own story. It's not just vogue dancers alone made them shocked. It's a combination of so many things.
this a competition between girlgroup in korea called queendom last year. this is the week where every group cover other group songs that participated in it. they change the way of the instruments. mamamoo final performance in this competition is fire 🔥 mamamoo-destiny and mamamoo won 😂😍
Austin, please react to Oh My Girl - Destiny cover on Queendom too! That song brought Oh My Girl from the lowest position in episode 1 to the top in episode 2! It's really good, the emotion they convey is 👌👌👌👌
Manney pls leave that topic behind and rest, its kindda sad for them and you dont know what really happend, You were not there so you cant blame anyone it would be a cynic thing to do so.....
@@pg3856 No because im nobody to judge...we cant sneak into lives that isnt ours, we tend to forget that as fans. I dont care about the problems they have, if there were any, because we cant confirm it, we are not them......just saying....and yes i saw Minas IG posts and the “videos” but all i learn is that unfortunatley mina is a sensitive person with very strong mental issues and she needs help but we can forget that an idol live is hard and more in aoas time
kinda irrelevant but i heard he likes sad bops in general, so i think he would like heize's music, it's not kpop it's kr&b but i think he will like it!
Big Idea: QUEENDOM MARATHON!! Low effort/editing in case it's taken down and all in the same video in case it's demonetized, but you can still put the content on your channel. There are more than 4 or 5 great songs but for a Moomoo vocal coach: Mamamoo - Decalcomanie, you'll love it 10x more than the m/v I guarantee it. Oh My Girl - Destiny, almost no backing track at all, best performance/vocals their group ever did (imo). G-IDLE - Put It Straight (Nightmare ver.), like nothing else, you can hear live vocals-mic relationship extra well*. Park Bom - Eyes, Nose, Lips, full Bom experience. Mamamoo - I Miss You, the VOCALS!! You've heard snippets, it's time for the whole thing. * - there is choreography where Miyeon crosses her hands in front off her mouth during her part and you can hear how that changes the way the headset mic picks up her voice, stuff like that. Plus the song is expressive af in ways you don't see in k-pop.
Okay just to let you know that we don’t Stan jimin (the rapper in the beginning) she bullied a girl in her group Until the girl went to the hospital for cutting herself and attempting to take her life. there’s more info on the web it’s really baddd.
What about chanmi and seolhyun who were said to back up jimin instead of mina? it’s really sad because they were my ult group but what jimin did isn’t excusable 😔
M i was just starting to stand them when i found out what jimin did i feel bad for all the people who had jimin as there bias i just can’t listen to the group or support them because of jimin and all the other members who didn’t help mina or tell jimin to stop
@@idkkacoolusername9157 honestly I had to go and delete my aoa playlists because of everything that went on after mina spoke out. the only one I’m supporting rn is choa (my ult bias) since she made her comeback to the music industry and mina said she could always count on Choa 🥺💖
M yeah i’m like so disappointed in the other members tho they might’ve not known about her self harm but ur telling me they didn’t see jimin bullying her😐even fans notice during fan meets i’m sure it was a lot worse in private they r grown adults they have minds of there own instead of bullying mina with jimin they should’ve said no that’s not right 🙄👊
@@sharkerrr sadly a waste of good talent. If she was just... kind enough, AOA would have gotten a lot more fans and recognition especially with their image change after queendom. Only shows that attitude is one of the key things that gets you far in any field.
yikes, AOA is a bit controversial with its member Jimin the rapper bullying others for 10yrs. just so you know Austin in case you decide to check them out more, could be rough sails.
@@sweetmimosamommysaranghae3163 Mina is not that a victim as she plays. She is more of a victim as her own internal issue with life long depression. Jamin also has her own Mental issues. You can't rely on people with mental disorders to relay what really went on. Anyone who has professionally dealt with people who have these issues. Like Mina and Jimin have would tell you not to take anything they say publicly as what really what happen. I would take anything that Mina or Jimin say with a block of salt. Being "Bullied" In south Korea is the norm. It is a shaming culture you will only get praise 1 out of 10000 times. So for Mina to say Jimin had a problem being a bully doesn't hold up when everyone that was above her would also be hard on all of the trainees.
@@sweetmimosamommysaranghae3163 They didn't disband, and if they did it would look horrible for the group. It would be admitting to everything Mina said. Only Jimin has retired from entertainment. They didn't help Mina because it didn't happen.
9:06 the backup dancers are actually Korean drag queens. I might be mistaken but they also are the ones Mamamoo recruited for their Hip MV where Solar was the singer of a very excessive rock band.
The mamamoo backup dancers were nana youngrongkim and bambi. The dancers here are not drag queens (though they probably have done drag before), they are voguing dancers. And haejun (the center) is also an excellent waacker.
Hyejeong and Chanmi! Those are my 2 favorites from the group too. (pronunciation hae-jong and chan-mee). Also innocent in the bullying scandal around AOA. Those were boys in heels with the girls in suits. Ironically, Mamamoo did that same concept a few years ago before they made Egotistic, with a different song. The stage started with feminine silhouettes in heels moving like they're performing, as the lights came up you see they're guys not Mamamoo, then the lights come up on silhouettes in suits and it's Mamamoo singing from there this whole time. AOA did more live singing in this than other Queendom performances where they lip synched a lot more. They're from an era of K-pop where that was normal and it's just how they've always performed. But this is a Mamamoo song so out come the hand mics and vocals. It's the best placement in a round they ever got in the Queendom competition too.
Yeah me too TT I hate Jimin for everything she did, even if the members saw bad moments between Jimin and Mina I can't judge them (Seolhyun, Chanmi, Yuna and Hyejeong) because we don't know anything more than Mina let us know. I know they hardly will comeback but I will have the rest of the members in my heart 💔🤍
@@eduardo4505 You should not hate Jimin and AoA. Please google T-ara bullying scandal and learn from the past. Mina is not the victim she manipulated netizens into thinking she is.
Mamamoo did the suits and gender bender esque concept in a 2016 performance, but what makes it special when aoa did it was that no one expects that from them. Their concept was a very girly sexy/ hyper feminine so it was cool seeing them switch it up
If you want to check out some more covers, seventeen have covered a couple of mamamoos songs (egotistic and decalcomanie are the ones I remember) furthermore, both groups have actually done a joint performance collaboration before! It’s quite a short video- but it’s really nice to see the two performing together. Love your reaction as always
This stage was inspired Mamamoo’s 2016 MMA performance (Melon Music Awards). Mamamoo’s performance remains iconic in my opinion because they broke down gender norms and displayed women empowerment. They wore suits and danced with gender fluid dancers on live TV. It’s such a great performance but sadly underrated and I highly recommend you check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2lmmdCxIF-k.html
3:26 It's Jimin, sorry but I hate her... There was an AOA member named Mina and she left because of Jimin. She started posting on Instagram exposing Jimin and everything she did with her... She said that Jimin bullyed her for years, and always posted a photo of her cut wrists on Instagram, and about 2 months ago she tried to kill herself, but now she's getting better... Jimin apologized to her but I can't like Jimin anymore 😑 I already went through and go through what Mina went through with Jimin for bullying, and yes, I've tried suicide too and I understand her. That's why I hate Jimin... EXCUSE FOR HUGE TEXT 🤣🤣
I get your thinking, and while I don't disagree or want to defend Jimin I'd just like to point out that their agency was horrible and seems to have mistreated Jimin herself. Shit flows downhill and it seems like management basically put all the weight for managing everything the group did on Jimin then gave her shit when the group wasn't doing well enough, putting her in a situation she was in no way equipped to handle.
@@gabriel1205 yes too, but I'm on Mina's side, if she said she suffered all this because of Jimin and almost killed herself because of her ... I can't like Jimin, but I hope she gets better ...I can hate the person but I would never wish him harm
@@brendainacio5313 I fully understand your sentiment. This shouldn't have been allowed to happen at all, it certainly shouldn't have been allowed to continue, and it should not have been allowed to fester and keep going for several years. There's a massive failure of the upper leadership who took some *very* young people and basically threw them into the ocean then yelled at them for drowning. While I understand the desire to take sides and make this a thing about Mina and Jimin I just feel like understanding the *why* is much more important if we want it to never happen again, and in that regard putting the blame on Jimin seems like an easy but ultimately misplaced solution that will distract from solving the underlying issue. And I get that's not a great point of view for Mina, who needs therapy and help to deal with her issues. Or for Jimin, who I can only hope has or at least is trying to become a better person. But that's the view I think is most productive for us to take, since we are not directly involved with either person and can't help them individually, so we're limited to putting pressure on agencies to take care of their idols properly.
So after watching the video and reading some of the comments I'm here to give details to things that I haven't seen be mentioned. 1. I know that you already know about the whole Jimin situation with the amount of comments you have about it. But to move on from that and maybe cheer you up there's a clip in the show where Moonbyul and Hyejin write how much they loved the cover and showed it to AOA like in a cheesy early 2000's romcom. Highly entertaining. 2. Queendom is a great show to get a bit of that LGBTea if you know what I mean. There's this cover of "I wish you were gay" that would probably give you a heart attack. I'm not saying you must react to it but..... that's exactly what I'm saying. 3. A little spoiler for Queendom if you decide to watch it is that MAMAMOO wins it. Their prize is a comeback stage. And they are receiving that prize with Travel. There's probably some other stuff I missed but I'm sure moomoo's will help with that. Hope I helped out.
I used to love the cover and then we got to learn that Jimin was a bullying tyrant toward former member Mina. So AOA will be a rocky road for you if you decide to keep on reacting to them.
@@LudmilaRamirez7 bland? Basic? It. How. It has jazz, then EDM, then DRAG QUEENS. I don't even like Aoa but this was far apart from basic my guy. It's a lot different then Mamamoos but not bad. Just my opinion.
@@oliviamerkel4754 It really doesn't have all the power that the original Mamamoo song has, it sounds pretty generic, even though their voices are good, the instrumental side of it killed it, honestly this cover isn't 30% of what the original Egotistic is, just my opinion ofc.
Egotistic is my favorite song from mamamoo too, so when I was watching queendom and AOA had to cover one of their songs I was like: not egotistic, not egotistic, not egotistic. But after it I loved it so much! I was ready to stan AOA and listen to their other songs but after all the scandal in the group I just couldn't anymore. React to mamamoo covering AOA's Good Luck in queendom, it's amazing too!
*Omg the Destiny, Goodluck, and I Miss you performances of Mamamoo is a must watch. Finally you took risk on reacting to Queendom* 😭 *Also, Park Bom's Wanna Go Back Performance had me bawling* 😭
Btw all the Moomoos was confused because AOA wore Mamamoo "Decalcomanie live" outfit (that stage is huge) but turns out they performed Egotistic. Plus they used drag queens too! It's totally a same concept...
As someone who loved AOA so much, the bullying news/scandal was really upsetting. I cheered for them so hard all throughout Queendom (their first performance on that show, Miniskirt, DESERVED to win that episode). All their performances in Queendom were amazing, but now watching this, there's such a bitter taste to me. This was AOA's first time performing as a 5-woman group because two members had left (both of which were very popular amongst fans. Actually, ChoA was probably one of THE most popular girls in Kpop during the time and both she and another girl, Mina, ended up leaving). Lots of drama there so I suggest you read up on it. Definitely some depression/self-mutiliation triggers though. Anyways, this was their first performance losing two members. I really cheered them on a lot but now it's sad watching this stage again. The "girls" dancing with AOA are actually drag queens. The performance itself was seen as a huge breakthrough for LGBT members in South Korea (even though Mamamoo had previously already done a performance similar to this a couples years ago where they also donned suits). This performance was actually polarizing (some people LOVED it, and some really did not like it). I still love AOA's songs but it's sad to see them now knowing everything that happened.
Dear people who wants mamamoo to get appreciated as much appreciated as other groups and says they are so underrated, it's time to change this.😈 Voting for Mama 2020 has just started. Only thing you should do is entering the mama page then you're gonna sign in with any kind of account and vote for mamamoo for every category that they nominated in. It won't take so much time of your life its sooo easy. If you do this thanks for your effort. As moomoos we really thankful to you and your heart. 🙏
AOA is at the end of their career due to the bullying scandal by the leader/ rapper Jimin on another (now ex) member. But they do have great discography, I'd suggest for you to check out Like A Cat, the song that launched them into popularity.
AOA (Ace of Angels) debuted in 2015 and started as a 8 member group now down to 4 members , last to leave was Mina (leader) to rapper after alligations of her bullying. But they do have some reals bops i.e. Mini Skirt and Good Luck (covered by Mamamoo in Queedon)
Everyone was so shocked cause AOA is known for super sexy concepts so seeing them all in suits being suave and cool was like a bomb went off. A lot of people thought they didn't have to vocals for it either but they did so well! And the dancers that come out for the dance break are not girls, 😁. The 2 you liked were Hyejong and Chanmi (red hair). And yes that was Park Bom! This episode was all about covering each other's songs. She did G-idle's Hann and they covered 2NE1's debut song, Fire.
Can't wait for the aya! Reaction aahhh Sir Austin you made such quality and fast uploading videos! How to binge watch. Why do i feel that i after i watch the video you upload another Video. I can't wait for other groups to be discovered and got reacted by you!💙💜💛💚 so much talented groups out there
Yassss, here we go Queendom♡ You will love all the performances of this show. Not only Mamamoo's stages, also G-idle (by the way, you say "CLC" but they are G-idle) and Oh my girl.
This performance is from Queendom, a kind of contest for groups who are comebacking as well as some well known rookies, to kind of help them promote more and the AOA - Egotistic performance was from the "Cover" Mission (sort of). AOA is one of the awesome groups back then when they were complete. They had a member, ChoA, who's really one of the great singers out there too but had to withdraw from the group I think around "Excuse Me" promotion. Heart Attack is one of their great songs too, as well as Like a Cat. Elvis is AOA's debut single. The group also had a band version called AOA Black with the song, Moya. The group has been surrounded by lots of controversies lately, and what Jimin did is really gruesome, but as a fan who've seen this group grow, I can't neglect the fact that she slayed her parts. I hope she can reflect to her wrongdoings, and praying AOA can still continue or if not, each member be on their best paths possible.
So glad that you have started watching the Queendom performances! :D Please continue to do so! From the idols that you have reacted to in the past, Queendom features: MAMAMOO, Park Boom and G-Idle so I am sure you'll have a blast! P.S. Those dancers were the Drag Queens from MAMAMOO's HIP MV ;)
Because you love egotistic, Seventeen (boygroup) is my fave cover of it I think (though it was short), in a show, mamamoo also covered one of their song "very nice". And performed a song together (same show) it was really nice, take a look at it if you want :D
i was about to recommend all mamamoo performances in queendom but i guess everyone already did 😂 so besides that, those are my favorites performances in queendom and i really think you should react to it: oh my girl - twilight g idle - nightmare hwasa and kei - wish you were gay (cover)
AOA did an amazing job on this cover. I watched Queendom just for Mamamoo, AOA, GIdle, and Park Bom. Mamamoo also covered them with "Good Luck". The original video of AOA's "Good Luck" was filmed where I live. Please react to Mamamoo's cover of "Good Luck."
They did a great job, but my favourite cover performance in Queendom was the one done by Oh My Girl , they did a really moving performance of the song "Destiny" originally released by the girl group Lovelyz.
I'm exited that you start to react stages on queendom! Dancers appeared in the middle were male dancer in sexy outfit while AOA as a girl group wear black suit. They want to show that girl can also be handsome and boy can also be pretty sexy in girly outfit. Although there were some disputes happened on JIMIN the rapper of AOA after queendom, she also quit singing and rapping since then, but I think they all still did the great job and put many effort on queendom stage. So hope you can react to other stages, especially 'good luck' covered by MAMAMOO.
So while I don't agree with how jimin has behaved, her line of "I don't want to a flower that falls, I'm a tree" is a reference from Unpretty rapstar when cheetah called her a pretty flower.
that was bom! she was on queendom as well. she covered "HANN" by g idle and g idle did "fire" by 2ne1(bom's former group). mamamoo also covered AOA, react to it plss
You should react to all MAMAMOO performances on queendom.. all of them were amazing IMO and that's why MAMAMOO won the competition against 5 other popular GG
1. The best cover from Queendom was Oh My Girl covering Lovelyz' "Destiny." 2. AOA has recently imploded under the Jimin bullying scandal, but I think that the group ended after Choa left. AOA started as a band that also danced, but that didn't sell, so they ended up switching to sexy performance idol group. For early AOA, check out their debut track, "Elvis." It has both a performance and a band version, and it is from this song that the fandom got its name. There was also a sub-group called AOA Black that had a good track, "Moya." "Miniskirt" marked AOA's transition into full sexy idol group, and "Excuse Me" was the last title track before Choa left. Then, they released "Bingle Bangle," then Mina (the victim of the bullying) left. Their last release before what is essentially their disbandment is "Come See Me," which is quite good. My favorite AOA song is "Hear Attack."
HELLO SIR IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO REACT TO MAMAMOO’S QUEENDOM PERFORMANCE. Btw Queendom is the competition that Mamamoo won and this is the reason they got their Comeback show for Travel album 🥳
