Just so everyone knows- my dog is completely fine! He had some sort of stomach bug that passed within 24 hours of this video. Sorry that it is highly interruptive during this video. At this point, he was acting strange but wasn’t actually ill.
Thanks for the update!
Glad it was not something bad! Hope pupper is doing fine now
Good thing your dog is fine! 😊👍🏻
Don’t worry about pausing. I’m happy to know Jasper is ok now 💜💜
uh no don't apologize
dogs are family and family comes before the channel
Maria is Hwasa's baptismal name, she wrote this song to herself after she suffered from a lot of criticism for her looks ❤
I think you saw a good example of their solos! each has her own style and it shows perfectly in their individual music and mv's.
I recommend you to watch the solo swap they did on their latest tour it's amazing!!
Lunatic is the title track from Moonbyul's 6equence. The album potrays stage of love from fluttering first meeting to breaking up, regrets, trying to move on phase. She wrote scripts for every song and the lunatic script is something like this "Why is it like this. It's my heart but I can't seem to control it. Even when I got angry just like the thunder, but I will just melt from your words. Even if I push you away angrily, I'll stiil come to you in less than a day and beg you" ...imo it's the phase in love where we do everything because of love and sometimes we lost ourselves.
All great songs and I it was great seeing all 4 of these songs sung by mamamoo during the MyCon concert and that came right after the switch ups, where Solar sings Wheein's Watercolor, Wheein sings Solar's Honey, Hwasa sings Moonbyul's Eclipse and Moonbyul sings Hwasa's Twit and each woman was wearing the outfit for each song as well. Mamamoo is up with the best of the best. I am so deep into the Solar system that we would not notice if the Sun when out because we have Solar.
Mamamoo are such incredible artists, it's really insane how they can shine on their own and how different they are musically but still mix so well together. For me they are one of kind because the amount of talent they have on their own alone is honestly baffling.
Yes they are so talented that they write their own song, all their song have very deep meaning to it. Maria song is write to those hatred and that she will be strong. Solar spit it out is saying she will do whatever she want and say whatever she want. And moonbyul lunatic album
Is an epic and so is wheein. And fun fact mamamoo fan base is mostly female compared to other girl group cause they inspire female to be themselves and love more of themselves
Hwasa said Maria is the crystallized tears and sweat that she shed.
The MV starts with a crime scene, Hwasa is dead and people are still trying to take some shots of her. A red hair Maria (an alter ego after Hwasa baptismal name) is watching the scene careless. Hwasa funeral, only empty chairs with invitation on it and with its back turned, nobody cares like she says in the lyrics.
Here an homage to the most beautiful and powerful scene in Malena movie, with all those men offering their lighter to her. Malena is the most beautiful woman of a SMALL village (it can be a comparison to South Korea restricted mentality), because of her looks and her solitary state, she is an object of lust for all the town's men and of hatred for its women…after many vicissitudes and a very hard time she understood that her beauty is her salvation. So she cuts her black hair and dyes by red her hair, changing her attitude as well. We can clearly see a difference among Hwasa and Maria, both in outfits and attitude.
In the table scene we can see a bloodstained Maria with rubber boots and a pretty simple outfit at a table with people all dressed up, they're keyboard warriors.
Again lyrics "You all worked hard hating. If you knock me down. Does that feed you?" She's serving them with all sort of things. The table is full with jewels, trove of tapes, mics, cds, diamonds…but they're just looking at those picky. Maria with a bored face is watching them and then she starts happily eating a brain. The difference among Maria and those people is so strong and impactful. I've also read that eat someone's brain means pester someone.
The triangular tub is also interesting, she's bathing in milk and rose petals like a Queen and her skin is so white, but once again she looks bored and then she starts to make 'no' gesture with her finger with a smirking face. Like 'I don't need to be pale, I'm beautiful like this'… probably a references to all hateful comments she gets about her bronze skin since ages.
We're back to Hwasa, she's trapped like in a mental hospital with a straitjacket, all her body is constrained by laces…this once again can be interpreted as the restricted South Korea mentality. They're monitoring her, pencils (comments) are pointed at her and she is trying to escape from this kind of net (network) until she finds a crown with diamonds and nails (representing the double faces of success). Ink-stained hands Hwasa decides to wear the crown, She got ink on her hands while fighting malicious comments, in fact we can see her beating her fists on the ground and shouting.
The triangular tub is back but this time we can see Maria and Hwasa looking at each other through a bloody water. A triangle is a figure linked to different trinities like mind, body & spirit; past, present & future; thought, feeling & emotion and creation, preservation and destruction. And, personally, all those fit this MV perfectly.
And now we discover Hwasa was not dead at all. Like it was all a dream, in fact she's on a coach with scissor in her hands, she is alone with her thoughts when suddenly Mamamoo members appear with big smiles. She said many times Mamamoo are her strength and she was able to face difficulties since trainee period only because they were together.
The whole lyrics are beautiful and powerful but sad at the same time. She said this is an exciting yet sad song, she likes those kind of songs because they resemble life.
With this album Hwasa became the FIRST Korean female solo artist to reach #1 on iTunes US Album chart and ranked 1st on the WORLDWIDE album chart as well. She co-wrote and co-composed 4 songs out of 6 of this album…an amazing album with powerful collaborations, a Queen like always.
Some other solos you might wanna listen to if you haven't yet! :)
Solar - big booty (has retro sound and vocals), hello, honey
Moonbyul - shutdown (has softer vocals), eclipse
Wheein - 25, goodbye, watercolor
Hwasa - LMM, bless u, kidding
They each also have great covers if you're into that:
Solar - believer, sk8r bo1
Moonbyul - congratulations
Wheein - dimple, love shot
Hwasa - watermelon sugar, wish you were gay
^^ofc that's just naming a few, but excited for you to see/hear more of them as soloists and as OT4 😊
Maria definitely is the most emotional song out of all of them. Hwasa said that during this time she struggled with suicidal thoughts (which is why you see the scene with her scissors on the chair) and there’s so much symbolism and references in this mv.
I won’t bother explaining and boring you tho there are video analysis that goes into stuff like the time travel (and how she would be reborn and wouldn’t die if she allowed the people around her to help her and be there for her), society and the scene of death (chairs turned away at her funeral, red carpet marking lines being put around her scene of death etc) and more if you’re interested. It’s a really great mv, great message and also an extreme bop!
You have to listen to Hwasa’s other solos they are so meaningful ❤
in hwasa’s solo the lyrics are so sad but the song is so catchy😭in the song she’s talking to herself bc maria is her baptismal name
and yes with mamamoo it’s either you pick a bias really quickly or you can’t choose at all lol! mine is wheein
I love all of their solo EPs, but according to my steaming app, I mostly listen to Moonbyul and especially WheeIn (I love RnB).
MAMAMOO - 4 BIAS, 4 BIAS WRECKERS.
Moonbyul is definitely special. She auditioned to be a singer but with three strong vocalists she agreed to try rapping. Last year Byul competed on the show Second World, which had rappers from Kpop groups compete in vocal battles - and she won the entire competition. Byul also has over 100 songwriting credits.
2:16 yeah that was in spanish
Mamamoo is perfect! QUEENS! 👑❤❤❤❤
Spit it out is also about spitting her passion out and doing whatever she wants (in solar’s words). Make me happy is based on an Alice in wonderland vibe mixed into the feeling of going back and forth, getting to know someone.
I'm OT4, because as good as they are solo, they reach goddess tier together as Mamamoo.
I’m grateful you managed to listen to any additional songs b4 the concert tho. Especially Maria cause it is really emotional how all 4 of them sing this song for her during the concert
Hopefully you managed to get a listen of honey, eclipse, watercolour and twit before the concert. I find it so funny that every song you picked wasn’t the one they performed at the solo swap stage 🤣
so glad you ended up going to the concert! I remember watching a previous video of yours where you weren't quite sure if you'll go since you're new to the group, but i'm really happy you decided to!!
Listening to Maria, especially the chorus makes me choke up. H consoling and reassuring herself and the members cameoing at the end was cherry on top. It's even crazy that Maria is one of the most successful solo song in k-pop.
Can't wait for your reviews about their concert🤩!!! So happy that you got a chance to see them performed live. Best vocals ever......
So glad Jasper is okay! I was such a basket case when my Evie was sick last February that we took a taxi to the vet, because I didn't trust myself to drive.
Your Mamamoo reactions are my favorites.
Thank you for this reaction! I can't wait to see the other mamamoo reactions to come! 🤍
Oh yes! MARIA is muly comeback to kpop! And HWASA and Maria is my introduction to Mamamoo.. .
The lyrics, the message, the dance, the beat, the voice and Hwasa herself makes Maria iconic all around the world!
Every MAMAMOO's member work hard in their own solo songs. They're self-produced artists of Kpop. 👑🔥
The Maria video is rich in symbolism. We start out with the press gathering around the spectacle of her murder (note the theater style poles and rope) but then no one is at her funeral. In fact all the chairs are turned away. The cigaret scene is referencing a famous Italian movie where the beautiful girl is hated by the town. Then the table of the paparazzi picking over various ephermera while she is literally offering up her heart. Then the hooded people representing the anonymous commenters on line and the storm of pencils showing the constant hateful comments she gets. When she picks up the crown of nails (thorns) her fingers are inkstained showing that her artistic creation is what brings both the glory and the pain. Finally her members help bring her out of her near suicidal depression. The Maria album as a whole is about Hwasa's struggle to love herself.
Moonbyul's album that Lunatic is part of 6sequence is about the arc of a relationship. It starts with G999 where she is falling in love and then Shutdown where the relationship gets physical. Lunatic is the point where problems are developing and then For Me is the break up and finally Ddu, Ddu, Ddu is looking back after the break up.
Solar loves to dance. She didn't have the early training but she's worked hard to build her skill. Her dance covers on Solarsido are special.
This was Wheein song that got a music show win. Wheein's mother called her butterfly fairie so she identifies strongly with butterflies.
I’ve been waiting for your Mamamoo reactions 😭😭😭
Love the sweatshirt
Consider [MV] 화사 (Hwa Sa) - LMM next. Not only one of the most beautiful songs by a solo member of the group... but one of my favorite songs period.
looking forward to another round of mamamoo solo songs reactions
Muy buena reaccion ✨
You should react to moonbyul’s second world songs. Refuge is one of my favorites to listen to currently
These videos are a MUST either before or after watching Hwa Sa's "Maria", "LMM", and "Twit" MVs. They help explain things, that if you don't speak Korean you will miss (and the translations don't help), and things you will only know if you are actually Korean. I so wish this channel had continued to create these type of vids for her songs.

Cek mamamoo at immortal song... They are so amazing...
Maria is HWASA’s Christian names she basically sang the song to herself because of uh… suicidal thoughts she was having at the time. Great song very sad backstory
Omg how was the concert?!
This is a MUST SEE by Moonbyul [Special] 서툰 이별을 하려해 (Cover by 문별) ua-cam.com/video/ZjhctbeifW0/v-deo.html
[4K] MAMAMOO MoonByul - Refuge ua-cam.com/video/xdg6jpzy_6I/v-deo.html
Solar does A LOT of covers both on "Solarsido" and else where. Also "Honey" ua-cam.com/video/UHiSc_M0xQU/v-deo.html
"Maria" is about her journey Hwasa (화사) - Birth Name: Ahn Hye Jin (안혜진) Christian Name is MARIA -
OMG Moonbyul's cover of Refuge is a MUST see. 😭
伯朗咖啡😆
Good luck hanging onto a bias in MMM. Hwasa is my female ult. But seriously…the other 3 bias wreck constantly.
In my opinion, Sloar's solo are the weakest in therms of showing her range vocally but it's always catchy songs (except the ballads, she sounds amazing in these), Hwasa is the best because it's catchy AND we get cool vocals, I love Wheein jazzy songs it fits her voice really well, and Moonbyul gets to show her vocals more and more each song she releases and it's amazing everytime.
I watched an interview somewhere.. sorry I forgot.. saying that Solar is the type of woman who always want to try something new, something else other than people usually expect, or get from her. That's why in her solos like Spit It Out and Honey she doesn't show us her powerhouse vocals . People already know that in Mamamoo.
Wheeins songs are actually Soul RnB vibe.
mamamoo are very influenced by latin music 🥰
