Esna is basically responsible for a lot of Mamamoo’s earlier retro sound. She helped write a ton of songs on their debut mini album ( Hello, Heeheehaheho, Peppermint Chocolate, Don’t be happy). She also wrote my favorite song Piano Man and Words don’t come easy. If you wanna check out more Esna songs, she has another song with Mamamoo called Gentleman, and a song with Hwasa called Love comes. If you wanna check out her solo stuff, I recommend You deserve it and Attention.
@@SirAustin wheein really is a vocal chameleon. Esp early on, all three that did most of the singing would try to sound like each other for various reasons, and it could often be hard to tell her apart from who she was mimicking
Thank you for covering "Ahh Oop!" Esna was a singer and songwriter at RBW. She wrote several of Mamamoo's early music such as Hello, Heeheehaheho, Peppermint Chocolate, Don't be Happy, Piano Man, Word's Don't Come Easy, and Ahh Oop! She really shaped Mamamoo's early style. Maeil Bio is Yogurt I think. Wheein's hair is so good short, but honestly, she can carry many hairstyles. It's the same hairstyle she has in "Easy". Hint hint.. ahem...
Wow really? Ahh Oop was the first non-jazzy song I heard I think, didn't like vibe (is it hip hop ish?) and thought it was a weird match to have her ft. But she wrote all the jazzy ones? 😮
In a recent interview, Esna spilled some tea: "Aah Oop!" was supposed to be _her_ debut song, but the label convinced her to give it to MMM as a collab instead...and she was abruptly removed from the last few live performances! Talk about insult to injury!
eSNa recently revealed on her channel esnatheperson that she composed and wrote the lyrics for AHH OOP! This was intended to be her solo song, but RBW pressured her to do a collaboration with Mamamoo instead. She agreed to the collaboration because she had not released anything in a while. Unfortunately, RBW took advantage of her, and she ended up receiving a lot of hate (she had to do a lot of the studio work, she was forced to lose weight to appear on TV, netizens bashed her appearance, she was informed last-minute that she was only able to perform for 2 of the live stages, and much more). It's honestly such a sad and upsetting story because she loved the song so much. She had been saving AHH OOP! for her TV debut for years. eSNa is an absolute queen, though, and clapped back with her diss track AHH! SHIT! later (she ended up terminating her contract with RBW later as well). From her vocals to her composition, you can truly see her passion and talent as a musician shine. Even though they are older, could you react to her singing "Attention" and "Some"? (Also, if you have time, please react to "My Star" from Mamamoo and "Arirang Alone" and "Everyone" from Sohyang!)
Esna! She is their senior during those early days, when the girls in the US, she is their MC. Yeah, the Ahh Oop, supposedly her only solo release, but a producer convinced her enough to collab with the girls. then she was cut off from the promotions because of the negative comments by Knetz. She wrote a diss version of her Ahh Oop. ehehehe She have a song with Hwasa. Everyday, it's Ravn. it's a yogurt drink.
Esna wrote Don't be happy. Probably composed it too but I am not sure about that part. She's Korean Amurican and Aah Oop was supposed to be the song that was going to bring the spotlight to her. Sadly that didn't happen. RBW did her dirty. However, I understand RBW. I don't condone it but I get it.
Keep in mind that Mamamoo and Esna don't have hard feelings for each other, she even calls them her "babies" still. What the company did to her was garbage but I'm glad MMM and Esna kept good spirits with each other
@@manashdb don't be happy is her sample demo song she shared to the CEO when she's applying as a producer. She feels that her dreams to be a producer will come true when the CEO said to her that her song will be used as a pre-debut song of Mamamoo.
Sir Austin, you can't be an adult moomoo yet. You have to listen to Wheein's Easy, minimum 2 of Solar's Emotion songs and minimum 3 immortal song performances (and watch at least 2 hours of mmmtv) before you become an adult moomoo. ;)
@@luna_aurora LOL. I think those are optional to be an adult moomoo. But they are mandatory to becoming a "complete" moomoo along with all non-title songs, all ost songs, all cm songs, all cover songs and all member featuring songs with other singers/rappers.
eSNa is a soloist formerly a singer in RBW before they did her dirty, she influenced a lot of jazzy styles that you love from MAMAMOO, she also grew up in america. we call her Mother eSNa and she once handled MMM's social media account so if you saw any english content from them during the early years, that's her uwu
About the shipping, I think it's ok to ship, the thing is that there are people who bother the artist with these things, specially flooding with comments on their social media (I heard it happened on Solar's youtube live), and than that's toxic, but I don't think shipping in general is.
Ugh, yeah. Every single one of solar's youtube lives, moonbyul's vlives or ig lives...it just gets absolutely ridiculous. Shipping can be fun, sure, but since it's real people it even starts in a kind of iffy place. But when people start taking it too seriously and wind up going too far... bleh
exactly. go ahead and ship whatever you want but know your boundaries! keep it to ourselves, let's not ruin the girls' friendships. we've had that with camren
I seriously hate those shippers on Solar’s live. They’re so disrespectful. Solar even had to tell them to stop asking about Moonbyul. I feel so bad for her.
That girl is ESNA, not E-SANA and that is her song which was supposed to be her solo debut song but RBW tricked her and made her feature Mamamoo. Later RBW excluded her from performing the song on music shows with Mamamoo so she left the company, recorded and uploaded her response song, Ahh Shit onto her YT channel. She recently spilled the tea on what happened on her channel too. Esna is a Korean American.
Let's clarify it wasn't RBW but because the so called producer or executive that worked at RBW misled her. And a lot of workers does that. People under companies or work under companies.....the company gets the blame. That's what sad....so the whole company got flack because of the people that worked in the company duped her
Esna is SOOOO good, I’m so happy you like her. If I remember correctly, Ahh Oop was originally her solo song. I highly suggest you to look into her! She also has a UA-cam channel!
A Piano Man and Woo Hoo enthusiast? WE STAN! Also, I honestly think that Everyday deserves to be up there with Gleam and Wanna Be Myself as the holy trinity of CFs (all composed by Cosmic Girl 😀) Also some context for the “shipping” concerns in the comments: Solar recently held a livestream on UA-cam and some people were spamming Moonsun comments that went wayyyy to far. Solar looked obviously uncomfortable, which is why Moomoos are more on guard these days. Thank you for addressing them in this video because it definitely could have led to many more misunderstandings :)
I’m really glad you reacted to Ahh Oop! And very important point that some people already mentioned this song is not a feature from ESNA, it’s a collab. She’s the one who wrote he song and it was supposed to be her own debut song. But RBW did her so dirty and when the song first dropped her name wasn’t even on it. She did 3 live performances of it with mamamoo and people judged her for her looks cuz she was styled in a way that made her look a lot older than mamamoo. She talks about her experience with all that crap on her UA-cam channel and still to this day it really pains her to think about it. But she definitely got back at them a bit with her version ahh shit. Also she’s had a hand in some of mamamoo’s earlier songs, like she wrote don’t be happy (mamamoo’s literal first song) so you can almost like thank her for mamamoo being they way they are today. She’s amazing and she deserved so much better. Looking forward to seeing you check her out! She has another song with mamamoo called gentleman if you’re interested ;)
The Ahh, Oop! MV has a reference to the fictional character Sweeney Todd. A barber from Fleet Street, Sweeney Todd is depicted as someone who murders their customers using a straight razor.
I love this era especially for Wheein because personally for me she have showcase her most range here. From lows to highs. And Sir Austin that sassy line is Wheeins part lol. She is so sassy in here and Byul's rap is fire and her line is "All men are wolves". So stan feminist queens. Love lots sir austin.
As always, loved your reaction :) Maeil Bio is a cf for yogurt drink, and each member represents a different flavor. Hwa Sa is strawberry, Whee In is original, MoonByul is blueberry, and Solar is mango. I really loved the song, and video too. Oh I also agree with your comment about Hwa Sa being more the Marilyn Monroe of the group. I actually saw in an interview where they called her the "Marilyn Monroe of Korea" and showed the old picture of her in white shorts with garters, and the green and white striped top, that everyone loves, next to a pic of Marilyn .
How can you manage to make daily content for your channel while juggling everything life related? Also, I love the idea of Solar Sunday, how about Wheein Wednesday, Moonbyul Monday, and Hwasa any day of the week (because who doesn’t love Hyejin). Love love love your channel, keep it up
It’s actually a cf for a yoghurt drink that has a name similar to the name of the song. I do also believe the guy is a member of one of RBWs boy groups pre debut. PS if you like wheein’s hair like that you should react to her solo Easy that came out about the same time.
I knew that would be your reaction when you saw the man in "Everyday" but the funny part is, that is a Oneus member named Ravn (Rapper,Producer) That was also my first impression, "okay why is there a man?!" but now he's my bias😭😂 Thanks for the reactions Sir Austin!!!
I TOLD YOU TO STAN ESNA, because yes that is her. She is such a good singer and she definitely works retro songs. I recommend Attention and Better Than Average. She also sings in English as well as Korean.
As everyone before me has said and given context about eSNa, she's amazing. I def also fully recommend you check her out. She has a background as a trained jazz singer during college and was big in the early UA-cam musician scene. I followed her career in the States and her vlogs when she first moved to Korea and ended up at RBW. Idk if the vlogs still exist but she had old vids with baby Mamamoo behind the scenes and goofing around. She was the reason I got into the girls bc she promoted them so much pre-debut and in the early days! She's responsible for their early sound & has a decent amount of hit OSTs for other artists/dramas. 😊
esna is a Korean-American singer-songwriter she graduated from UCLA, where she studied jazz vocals she is really really talented she produced this song (AHH oop) and then collaborated with mamamoo
I feel like Everyday MV it's the cute concept Sky sky wanted to be but could never lmao, so yeah, it's a mamamoo cute concept done right (even tho I still feel strange about it, wonder if it's because i'm not used to it and neither the girls ).
Esna released "Ahh Shit" which is pretty much the same to Ahh Oop. She tells the story there how it really is. That is was her song. And it's a pretty good version of it as well. Maybe it's interesting for you. And you'll love her song "Attention".
Now that you are a full grown Moomoo i think you are ready for two roller coasters *I LOVE YOU TOO* - A song written by the members dedicated to us Moomoo *STAR WIND FLOWER SUN* - A song written by Moonbyul and Solar, dedicated to MAMAMOO and Moomoo. The title resembles every member Star: Moonbyul, Wind: Wheein, Flower: Hwasa & Sun: Solar
Apart from all the dramas around this song AHH OOP, what has come out of it was 3 versions of the song you might enjoy. Here's the other 2 versions of Esna's rendition of AHH OOP: ua-cam.com/video/QAzrjmEBAm4/v-deo.html - The DISS track she made from being told she's excessive to the song (which of course is completely ridiculous. She's is the writer/ it's her song that she lends to MAMAMOO.) ua-cam.com/video/8HYEpfFIktg/v-deo.html - Esna's track in her album. ua-cam.com/video/0EJAy9eWfgQ/v-deo.html - She says about what had happened then in her recent podcast.
actually pretty fun word play, I believe "매일" is the name of the company with their yogurt called "Bio", which sounds a bit like "봐요". "매일 봐요" means "see you every day", so it also sounds like "Bio every day". I think the pitch-shifted vocals in the production are the words "매일" over and over too, so the brand gets their name repeated over and over in the chorus XD
We'll keep on loving you Austin 😘 I love Ahh Oop but eSNa deserved/deserves better. She collaborated with Mamamoo but eventually stopped promoting the song within a few days of release. eSNa revealed the truth a couple of months ago about what went down. eSNa toplined on this track which was originally meant for Lee Hi (another singer, whos voice i love btw). She was so proud of the song but it didn't end up getting used so a while later she asked if she could buy the track to release as her own but they asked her to collaborate with Mamamoo instead. She said she felt cornered into it so eventually agreed. The plan was to promote the song for 2 weeks with Mamamoo. On their way to their first promotion gig, the song was officially released without her name. Her name also wasnt on the dressing room. She got alot of hate from netizens on the video about her image/appearance and for having a big part on the song so was told after their first performance that she would only promote for 2 more days. The 4th day was meant to be a performance on the more popular music show- Inkigayo, so they wanted to cut her before that. It seemed like the company pre-planned it because the stage set up on Inkigayo was already set up for Mamamoo only. It was like the company agreed with what the netizens said when they stopped eSNa from promoting 😭 Anyway again, I love Ahh Oop but eSNa deserved better. At the end of the inkigayo performance (without eSNa) Hwasa said Love you eSNa ❤ Moomoo support ❤
Just to comment on the feedback about Decalcomanie, honestly it created quite the controversy in the fandom as well because the original MV needed a scene to be cut out due to the problematic nature of it. So I agree with you Austin, I love the song but can do without the MV. I think we all just love these girls so much any kind of criticism, even when it's constructive, brings out the defensive nature in us. MooMoo's as a fandom have had to defend these girls more than the average stan, so I understand their perspective as well. Let's just love Mamamoo and stream AYA on the 3rd!!! Love you MooMoo's, thank you for another great video Austin!
"Ahh Oop" actually has a very sad story behind the song. Basically, RBW did Esna dirty. In some live performances, you can even hear Hwasa say "love you, Esna" at the end, because she was cut from the performances. Esna even made a diss track because of this, called 'Ahh Shit'. ua-cam.com/video/0EJAy9eWfgQ/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/QAzrjmEBAm4/v-deo.html
Maeil Bio is a brand of probiotic yoghurt but the name sounds similar to 매일 봐요 which means "See you every day" so that's why the song is like it is. Clever eh?
Sir Austin you have to see "bad bye and no more drama" of Mamamoo you will love it!! And I will love it too!! Ahhhh - Backwood - No more drama - Bad bye - Better than I thought
I took a break from my unending homework just to watch this, I feel so much better now. Ahh oop is one of my favorite mamamoo songs, I'm so happy you liked it
Esna is the woman in Ah-hoop which is a song, Mamamoo and Esna sang together. Esna is a singer song writer who wrote a few of Mamamoo songs in the first couple of years. Her songs have jazzy vibes. Esna wanted to be a singer more, and the company, RBW, wanted her more as a composer. Esna stayed with RBW about 2 more years after Ah-hoop and left to concentrate & pursue her singing career. She originally wrote the song for Lee Hi, but it didn't happen. And later RBW suggested singing it with Mamamoo. It ended up being a bad experience for Esna. People left bad comments about Esna's first appearance, and RBW took her out of remaing scheduled performances. She also has a UA-cam channel with her music and stories about her life. Esna also wrote Piano Man, Hihihaheho, don't be happy and Gentleman for mamamoo.
Aah Oop was supposed to be Esna's song. RBW did her dirty when they were promoting Aah Oop. She's a great singer and songwriter you should definitely look her up.
After their debut and for a couple months I had trouble distinguishing Wheein's voice from Hwasa's when they sing in a lower tone. They do sound very similar in their early songs.
I wrote a comment on your last video about shipping Moonsun and I have to say that it wasn't meant to be toxic or anything. I don't actually believe that they were ever a couple and most probably never will be. Like you said, it's more like wishful thinking. Although I do kinda get gay vibes from Moonbyul, I would be more than happy for them if/when they find a man. I'd still be the biggest Moomoo, it absolutely doesn't change anything. My shipping of them is not meant seriously, I just love the way they look at each other. So, yeah, just wanted to make that clear as well. I find it rather sad that people take it too far sometimes and write tons of comments on their social media etc.
I'm watching this video and get a notification for ANOTHER Mamamoo reaction. Is this what happiness feels like? Also, eSNA used to be their senior back in the day, one of, if not, RBW's first soloists. The story behind Ahh Oop is rather sad, but I refuse to hate this song for it, it's TOO good and it's neither of their fault, it was RBW's fault. Here's the link to that video, she speaks english, so you'll be able to understand. I think it's important everyone watches it so she can be heard: ua-cam.com/video/0EJAy9eWfgQ/v-deo.html
Don't worry about these comments, some Kpop fans are young and can't understand that people can have a different opinion and still be respectful of the girls. So glad you finally reacted to Aah Oop! Thx for the vid
What the... someone else in the world knows about this song?? I always felt like it didn't get the attention it deserved when it came out, glad to see it getting some now!
there’s a video i hope you can react to in the future: hwasa and solar’s cover of “save me from myself”. it’s definitely one of my favorite covers mamamoo has ever done
Can you react to " I Miss You" by MMM? It's one of my favorite MMM songs. version 1--M COUNTDOWN 160225 EP.462 2--Yu Huiyeol’s Sketchbook Ep 468 first version is in 2016 and the second one is in 2019 I wonder what's the difference or how much they improved. Can you please react and compare this two? thx ps MMM also perform this song on Queendom which touched lots of moomoo
behind this song there was a big problem between esna and RBW, esna was part of this company but she defected due to some problems, * nervous laugh * if you want to know what happened she explains it on her YT channel `` esnatheperson '' (btw the problem has nothing to do with MMM only with RBW)
I see you never heard mamamoo's RnB side yet or explored more of their ballads. They're one of the best in the industry in pulling off both genres. I think it's about time for album first listens.
Mamamoo don't mess around with their CFs. I agree, Wanna Be Myself is so catchy it's currently among my favorites. As for seeing men in MMM MVs, I think we're just so accustomed to seeing only MMM featured their MVs, so when there does happen to be a man to appear, our initial reaction is "Wait... wut?!". I think your distaste on Decalcomanie isn't uncommon because the man there isn't just pursuing one member but is pursuing ALL of them... Also happens we're just super protective of our girls.
This is unrelated but if you follow Kibbe's image identity, Hwasa's bodytype is the closest with Marylin too. Her is theatrical romantic while Marylin is pure romantic.
I really like your reactions and how you talk about things :) It's good you cleared up the boys thing, kinda obvious but I can also see how it was misunderstood.
Esna has a great voice and has contributed as writer to a lot of MAMAMOO songs,. I would recommend that you listen to her solo songs. I'd suggest starting with Attention and Gentleman (which MAMAMOO also recorded). Knowing your tastes as I do by now, I'm sure you'll enjoy them. The sound of these songs is reminiscent of early MAMAMOO, which is not surprising since she was wrote Don't Be happy and co-composed Piano Man.
Hwasa as a blonde is divine, I feel that she was beautiful, and her figure is always turning out, I do not understand where they saw her fat if tremendous body that charges, she is truly a goddess
Maeil bio/Everyday is not a fan favourite so im surprised you like it! supposedly we were promised extra behind the scenes clip when the music video reaches 8 million views... two years later we're still not even close 😭
Didn’t you recognize Oneus Ravn in the everyday MV? Lol Btw there’s actually a Piano Man performance where Hwasa is dressed as Marilyn, Wheein as Audrey Hepburn and not sure what the others where dressed as, I think Solar was Ariana Grande
Another goofy/good/early CF is Girl Crush. As the title implies, I'd say it's the poster boy for "Mamamoo don't kiss boys." It's also the most sustained "cute" you ever see for Moonbyul. Regarding shipping, I'd say it's OK as long as everybody is chill with it. Let's face it, both RBW and the girls pushed Moonsun in the early-ish days (Uh Oh Ay Yeh & Girl Crush plus stages, plus vlogs, plus interviews) and in Solarsido Moonbyul Is.Always.There. The problem is that not everybody is chill about it. When Solar did the "We Got Married" show with Eric Nam, he got HATE over it. And not only from guys with life-size Solar pillows, a lot of the MoonSun shippers also went ballistic because he was getting in the way. Eric did an interview some years after and still sounded shaken. ua-cam.com/video/Q2AkfIN6Sb0/v-deo.html
A lot have already mentioned about esna's songwriting and how rbw really did wind up treating her terribly, but i'm not actually seeing anything about her feelings towards the members of mamamoo themselves Yes, she's upset at rbw, and rightfully so, that was utter crap they did to her. An agency is supposed to take care of their artists... but she absolutely loves mamamoo. After cancelling her contract she came back to the states and went about her life as a singer/songwriter again. She has gotten frequent invites to guest or speak at kcons in both ny and la (i believe she lives in the latter) and also has been asked to be the translator for mamamoo's fanmeets and such when they're also guests. Which she readily agrees to because she always says she misses her girls
The other artist is Esna and she recently talked about her heartaches over the creation of of Ahh! Oop! on her channel. This is such a good song and I love it but knowing how this has caused pain on someone is making me uncomfortable. Regardless, this is still awesome.
Esna is basically responsible for a lot of Mamamoo’s earlier retro sound. She helped write a ton of songs on their debut mini album ( Hello, Heeheehaheho, Peppermint Chocolate, Don’t be happy). She also wrote my favorite song Piano Man and Words don’t come easy.

Also, I honestly think that Everyday deserves to be up there with Gleam and Wanna Be Myself as the holy trinity of CFs (all composed by Cosmic Girl 😀)
Also some context for the “shipping” concerns in the comments: Solar recently held a livestream on UA-cam and some people were spamming Moonsun comments that went wayyyy to far. Solar looked obviously uncomfortable, which is why Moomoos are more on guard these days. Thank you for addressing them in this video because it definitely could have led to many more misunderstandings :)
I’m really glad you reacted to Ahh Oop! And very important point that some people already mentioned this song is not a feature from ESNA, it’s a collab. She’s the one who wrote he song and it was supposed to be her own debut song. But RBW did her so dirty and when the song first dropped her name wasn’t even on it. She did 3 live performances of it with mamamoo and people judged her for her looks cuz she was styled in a way that made her look a lot older than mamamoo. She talks about her experience with all that crap on her UA-cam channel and still to this day it really pains her to think about it. But she definitely got back at them a bit with her version ahh shit. Also she’s had a hand in some of mamamoo’s earlier songs, like she wrote don’t be happy (mamamoo’s literal first song) so you can almost like thank her for mamamoo being they way they are today. She’s amazing and she deserved so much better. Looking forward to seeing you check her out! She has another song with mamamoo called gentleman if you’re interested ;)
What's esna's UA-cam channel?

@@rozi.m thank you
I agree about hwasa being the Marilyn Monroe
Fun Fact: there is a live performance of piano man that hwasa looks like and dressed like Marilyn Monroe
The Ahh, Oop! MV has a reference to the fictional character Sweeney Todd. A barber from Fleet Street, Sweeney Todd is depicted as someone who murders their customers using a straight razor.
OMG! That explains it. Thank you!
I’m telling you Wheein is the ultimate QUEEN of Mamamoo, without her MMM would be VERY different.
Wheein is versatile yes and every member is different from each other
Another ex RBW artist is Basick and he's a rapper. You should react to his song Stand Up featuring Mamamoo, live version.
I love this era especially for Wheein because personally for me she have showcase her most range here. From lows to highs. And Sir Austin that sassy line is Wheeins part lol. She is so sassy in here and Byul's rap is fire and her line is "All men are wolves". So stan feminist queens. Love lots sir austin.
As always, loved your reaction :)
Maeil Bio is a cf for yogurt drink, and each member represents a different flavor. Hwa Sa is strawberry, Whee In is original, MoonByul is blueberry, and Solar is mango. I really loved the song, and video too.
Oh I also agree with your comment about Hwa Sa being more the Marilyn Monroe of the group. I actually saw in an interview where they called her the "Marilyn Monroe of Korea" and showed the old picture of her in white shorts with garters, and the green and white striped top, that everyone loves, next to a pic of Marilyn .
How can you manage to make daily content for your channel while juggling everything life related? Also, I love the idea of Solar Sunday, how about Wheein Wednesday, Moonbyul Monday, and Hwasa any day of the week (because who doesn’t love Hyejin). Love love love your channel, keep it up
I work from home. I've got time. LOL! Plus - UA-cam isn't a job for me...it's something that I have fun doing :)
It’s actually a cf for a yoghurt drink that has a name similar to the name of the song. I do also believe the guy is a member of one of RBWs boy groups pre debut. PS if you like wheein’s hair like that you should react to her solo Easy that came out about the same time.
I knew that would be your reaction when you saw the man in "Everyday" but the funny part is, that is a Oneus member named Ravn (Rapper,Producer)
That was also my first impression, "okay why is there a man?!" but now he's my bias😭😂
Thanks for the reactions Sir Austin!!!
Yeah - sometimes I get ONEUS and ONEWE mixed up. I knew he looked familiar! I only really know LEEDO & my bias HWANWOONG.
@@SirAustin they're brother groups so that is okay! Hwanwoong is also my bias along with Ravn🥰
Love Ahh Oop! Never realized it had such a dark backstory though from all the comments 😮
Esna wrote this song and lots more. She’s brilliant! You should check her out.
I TOLD YOU TO STAN ESNA, because yes that is her. She is such a good singer and she definitely works retro songs. I recommend Attention and Better Than Average. She also sings in English as well as Korean.
yes!!!! ahh oop its THE bop, you will love their radio live performance, its amazing
As everyone before me has said and given context about eSNa, she's amazing. I def also fully recommend you check her out. She has a background as a trained jazz singer during college and was big in the early UA-cam musician scene. I followed her career in the States and her vlogs when she first moved to Korea and ended up at RBW. Idk if the vlogs still exist but she had old vids with baby Mamamoo behind the scenes and goofing around. She was the reason I got into the girls bc she promoted them so much pre-debut and in the early days! She's responsible for their early sound & has a decent amount of hit OSTs for other artists/dramas. 😊
esna is a Korean-American singer-songwriter
she graduated from UCLA, where she studied jazz vocals
she is really really talented
she produced this song (AHH oop) and then collaborated with mamamoo
Brought to you by.. Allergy :D
YASS HAHAHAHAHA loving all your reactionsss! Please remember to take some rest as well!
I feel like Everyday MV it's the cute concept Sky sky wanted to be but could never lmao, so yeah, it's a mamamoo cute concept done right (even tho I still feel strange about it, wonder if it's because i'm not used to it and neither the girls ).
Also if you like their sexy jazzy vibes "words don't come easy" is beautiful
5:55 was wheein haha anyways, 👍🏼 on the reaction.
Esna released "Ahh Shit" which is pretty much the same to Ahh Oop. She tells the story there how it really is. That is was her song. And it's a pretty good version of it as well. Maybe it's interesting for you. And you'll love her song "Attention".
For one of their live music show performances of Piano Man, they dressed up as celebrities and Hwasa was Marilyn Monroe 😊
Hint: Esna is a former producer of RBW and debuted as a singer through that collaboration song with Mamamoo.
I feel bad about Esna. The company really did her bad :(
Now that you are a full grown Moomoo i think you are ready for two roller coasters
*I LOVE YOU TOO* - A song written by the members dedicated to us Moomoo
*STAR WIND FLOWER SUN* - A song written by Moonbyul and Solar, dedicated to MAMAMOO and Moomoo. The title resembles every member Star: Moonbyul, Wind: Wheein, Flower: Hwasa & Sun: Solar
Wow!!! Two Mamamoo videos in less than 24 hours, I'm not gonna complain about that
LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!!!
Apart from all the dramas around this song AHH OOP, what has come out of it was 3 versions of the song you might enjoy.
Here's the other 2 versions of Esna's rendition of AHH OOP:
ua-cam.com/video/QAzrjmEBAm4/v-deo.html - The DISS track she made from being told she's excessive to the song (which of course is completely ridiculous. She's is the writer/ it's her song that she lends to MAMAMOO.)
ua-cam.com/video/8HYEpfFIktg/v-deo.html - Esna's track in her album.
ua-cam.com/video/0EJAy9eWfgQ/v-deo.html - She says about what had happened then in her recent podcast.
I love them so much too. Thank you so much for your all reactions to them. I’m so glad about it.
ahh oop's is one of my favourite moonbyul's raps, it's so fast and rhtyhmic~~~
Esna started a youtube channel recently i think, she also talked about an issue with Ahh Oop, between she and RBW
actually pretty fun word play, I believe "매일" is the name of the company with their yogurt called "Bio", which sounds a bit like "봐요". "매일 봐요" means "see you every day", so it also sounds like "Bio every day". I think the pitch-shifted vocals in the production are the words "매일" over and over too, so the brand gets their name repeated over and over in the chorus XD
We'll keep on loving you Austin 😘
I love Ahh Oop but eSNa deserved/deserves better.
She collaborated with Mamamoo but eventually stopped promoting the song within a few days of release. eSNa revealed the truth a couple of months ago about what went down.
eSNa toplined on this track which was originally meant for Lee Hi (another singer, whos voice i love btw). She was so proud of the song but it didn't end up getting used so a while later she asked if she could buy the track to release as her own but they asked her to collaborate with Mamamoo instead. She said she felt cornered into it so eventually agreed.
The plan was to promote the song for 2 weeks with Mamamoo. On their way to their first promotion gig, the song was officially released without her name. Her name also wasnt on the dressing room. She got alot of hate from netizens on the video about her image/appearance and for having a big part on the song so was told after their first performance that she would only promote for 2 more days. The 4th day was meant to be a performance on the more popular music show- Inkigayo, so they wanted to cut her before that. It seemed like the company pre-planned it because the stage set up on Inkigayo was already set up for Mamamoo only. It was like the company agreed with what the netizens said when they stopped eSNa from promoting 😭
Anyway again, I love Ahh Oop but eSNa deserved better. At the end of the inkigayo performance (without eSNa) Hwasa said Love you eSNa ❤ Moomoo support ❤
Just to comment on the feedback about Decalcomanie, honestly it created quite the controversy in the fandom as well because the original MV needed a scene to be cut out due to the problematic nature of it. So I agree with you Austin, I love the song but can do without the MV. I think we all just love these girls so much any kind of criticism, even when it's constructive, brings out the defensive nature in us. MooMoo's as a fandom have had to defend these girls more than the average stan, so I understand their perspective as well. Let's just love Mamamoo and stream AYA on the 3rd!!! Love you MooMoo's, thank you for another great video Austin!
At 4:18 Whee In doing that thing again where she can match anyones voice and slay with it
I saw somebody mentioned Mamamoo's Queendom performances. Yes please react to them 😸
"Ahh Oop" actually has a very sad story behind the song. Basically, RBW did Esna dirty. In some live performances, you can even hear Hwasa say "love you, Esna" at the end, because she was cut from the performances.
Esna even made a diss track because of this, called 'Ahh Shit'.
ua-cam.com/video/0EJAy9eWfgQ/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/QAzrjmEBAm4/v-deo.html
Maeil Bio is a brand of probiotic yoghurt but the name sounds similar to 매일 봐요 which means "See you every day" so that's why the song is like it is. Clever eh?
9:20 hey Austin's picking up on Cosmic now! :D We stan our Cosmic Girl
Sir Austin you have to see "bad bye and no more drama" of Mamamoo you will love it!! And I will love it too!! Ahhhh
- Backwood
- No more drama
- Bad bye
- Better than I thought
I took a break from my unending homework just to watch this, I feel so much better now. Ahh oop is one of my favorite mamamoo songs, I'm so happy you liked it
Esna is the woman in Ah-hoop which is a song, Mamamoo and Esna sang together. Esna is a singer song writer who wrote a few of Mamamoo songs in the first couple of years. Her songs have jazzy vibes.
Esna wanted to be a singer more, and the company, RBW, wanted her more as a composer. Esna stayed with RBW about 2 more years after Ah-hoop and left to concentrate & pursue her singing career. She originally wrote the song for Lee Hi, but it didn't happen. And later RBW suggested singing it with Mamamoo. It ended up being a bad experience for Esna. People left bad comments about Esna's first appearance, and RBW took her out of remaing scheduled performances. She also has a UA-cam channel with her music and stories about her life.
Esna also wrote Piano Man, Hihihaheho, don't be happy and Gentleman for mamamoo.
Hwasa dressed as Marilyn Monroe on a Piano man's Stage actually and as you said, she 100% fits to this model.
*WHEEIN'S SHORT HAIR*
Yeeesss wanna be myself disco bop 👌🔥
I agree about the shipping thing and Delcomanie thing is a little bit OTT (maybe I'm a little envious of the guy in that song😁).
Aah Oop was supposed to be Esna's song. RBW did her dirty when they were promoting Aah Oop. She's a great singer and songwriter you should definitely look her up.
After their debut and for a couple months I had trouble distinguishing Wheein's voice from Hwasa's when they sing in a lower tone. They do sound very similar in their early songs.
When I saw that there is a reaction to Ahh Oop I was like this will be one!!!!!!! Ahh Oop is one of my fav California Pop/Jazz vibes.
Perfect reaction ,Loved it plus your voice too so calming please keep talking alot too.
Wheein: sings
Austin: yaaas hwasa
Wheesa's voices really do be like that 😂😂
I cracked up at your intro! Great way to end my day, especially a bad one. Thanks lol. Love the video.
oh wow I just clicked on your channel to watch a mamamoo reaction by you, got what I was looking for hahaha
I literally open yt for your new video reactions post-work and while sipping on a coffee in the morning. Thank you.
I wrote a comment on your last video about shipping Moonsun and I have to say that it wasn't meant to be toxic or anything. I don't actually believe that they were ever a couple and most probably never will be. Like you said, it's more like wishful thinking. Although I do kinda get gay vibes from Moonbyul, I would be more than happy for them if/when they find a man. I'd still be the biggest Moomoo, it absolutely doesn't change anything. My shipping of them is not meant seriously, I just love the way they look at each other. So, yeah, just wanted to make that clear as well. I find it rather sad that people take it too far sometimes and write tons of comments on their social media etc.
I'm watching this video and get a notification for ANOTHER Mamamoo reaction. Is this what happiness feels like?
Also, eSNA used to be their senior back in the day, one of, if not, RBW's first soloists. The story behind Ahh Oop is rather sad, but I refuse to hate this song for it, it's TOO good and it's neither of their fault, it was RBW's fault. Here's the link to that video, she speaks english, so you'll be able to understand. I think it's important everyone watches it so she can be heard: ua-cam.com/video/0EJAy9eWfgQ/v-deo.html
Don't worry about these comments, some Kpop fans are young and can't understand that people can have a different opinion and still be respectful of the girls.
So glad you finally reacted to Aah Oop! Thx for the vid
What the... someone else in the world knows about this song?? I always felt like it didn't get the attention it deserved when it came out, glad to see it getting some now!
You have some MVs left, “my hometown” and “girl crush” they are both super cute and funny
maeil bio is a yogurt drink kind of like how we have Kefir in the US....they make everything look good!
there’s a video i hope you can react to in the future: hwasa and solar’s cover of “save me from myself”. it’s definitely one of my favorite covers mamamoo has ever done
I hope you do vocal comments about their live performances (mamamoo). ❤️
Can you react to " I Miss You" by MMM?
It's one of my favorite MMM songs.
version 1--M COUNTDOWN 160225 EP.462
2--Yu Huiyeol’s Sketchbook Ep 468
first version is in 2016 and the second one is in 2019
I wonder what's the difference or how much they improved.
Can you please react and compare this two? thx
ps MMM also perform this song on Queendom which touched lots of moomoo
I also like early era of mamamoo! That's what got me to fall in love with them
lmaoo please the intros always kill me!!!
Laughing my ass off seeing you look away like that at the shaving parts xD
behind this song there was a big problem between esna and RBW, esna was part of this company but she defected due to some problems, * nervous laugh * if you want to know what happened she explains it on her YT channel `` esnatheperson ''
(btw the problem has nothing to do with MMM only with RBW)
opened yt to watch something before sleeping (it's almost 4am!!) and found out you uploaded a new reaction !! YES
I see you never heard mamamoo's RnB side yet or explored more of their ballads. They're one of the best in the industry in pulling off both genres. I think it's about time for album first listens.
Mamamoo don't mess around with their CFs. I agree, Wanna Be Myself is so catchy it's currently among my favorites.
As for seeing men in MMM MVs, I think we're just so accustomed to seeing only MMM featured their MVs, so when there does happen to be a man to appear, our initial reaction is "Wait... wut?!". I think your distaste on Decalcomanie isn't uncommon because the man there isn't just pursuing one member but is pursuing ALL of them... Also happens we're just super protective of our girls.
This is unrelated but if you follow Kibbe's image identity, Hwasa's bodytype is the closest with Marylin too. Her is theatrical romantic while Marylin is pure romantic.
I really like your reactions and how you talk about things :) It's good you cleared up the boys thing, kinda obvious but I can also see how it was misunderstood.
I love mamá eSNa 😌
Esna has a great voice and has contributed as writer to a lot of MAMAMOO songs,. I would recommend that you listen to her solo songs. I'd suggest starting with Attention and Gentleman (which MAMAMOO also recorded). Knowing your tastes as I do by now, I'm sure you'll enjoy them. The sound of these songs is reminiscent of early MAMAMOO, which is not surprising since she was wrote Don't Be happy and co-composed Piano Man.
i really love you sir austin
Hwasa as a blonde is divine, I feel that she was beautiful, and her figure is always turning out, I do not understand where they saw her fat if tremendous body that charges, she is truly a goddess
"except Sky Sky was kinda trash" 😂😂😂
Amo las dos canciones! ❤️👑
Hwasa, Moonbyul, Wheein y Solar 🔥
That guy is Ravn (from Oneus)❤🌙🌙❤
Hey Austin, I don't have anything special to say, just wanted to thank you for making these videos!
Maeil bio/Everyday is not a fan favourite so im surprised you like it! supposedly we were promised extra behind the scenes clip when the music video reaches 8 million views... two years later we're still not even close 😭
Didn’t you recognize Oneus Ravn in the everyday MV? Lol
Btw there’s actually a Piano Man performance where Hwasa is dressed as Marilyn, Wheein as Audrey Hepburn and not sure what the others where dressed as, I think Solar was Ariana Grande
Another goofy/good/early CF is Girl Crush. As the title implies, I'd say it's the poster boy for "Mamamoo don't kiss boys." It's also the most sustained "cute" you ever see for Moonbyul.
Regarding shipping, I'd say it's OK as long as everybody is chill with it. Let's face it, both RBW and the girls pushed Moonsun in the early-ish days (Uh Oh Ay Yeh & Girl Crush plus stages, plus vlogs, plus interviews) and in Solarsido Moonbyul Is.Always.There. The problem is that not everybody is chill about it. When Solar did the "We Got Married" show with Eric Nam, he got HATE over it. And not only from guys with life-size Solar pillows, a lot of the MoonSun shippers also went ballistic because he was getting in the way. Eric did an interview some years after and still sounded shaken.
ua-cam.com/video/Q2AkfIN6Sb0/v-deo.html
A lot have already mentioned about esna's songwriting and how rbw really did wind up treating her terribly, but i'm not actually seeing anything about her feelings towards the members of mamamoo themselves
Yes, she's upset at rbw, and rightfully so, that was utter crap they did to her. An agency is supposed to take care of their artists... but she absolutely loves mamamoo. After cancelling her contract she came back to the states and went about her life as a singer/songwriter again. She has gotten frequent invites to guest or speak at kcons in both ny and la (i believe she lives in the latter) and also has been asked to be the translator for mamamoo's fanmeets and such when they're also guests. Which she readily agrees to because she always says she misses her girls
They made a special stage of piano man being various old star and Hwasa was Marilyn Monroe
Please check & comment on Self Camera from MAMAMOO Pink Funky album...i believe it has 80's vibe...definitely one of the earlier songs
And the ad is about yogurt 😂 or yogurt drink something like that haha
The other artist is Esna and she recently talked about her heartaches over the creation of of Ahh! Oop! on her channel. This is such a good song and I love it but knowing how this has caused pain on someone is making me uncomfortable. Regardless, this is still awesome.
Woah I'm kinda late today! mamamoo cf songs always serve 🔥
