MAMAMOO members have been stars of many concert, event, or television show. Therefore, it’s not surprising that many kpop fans want about them. Since 2014 till now, MAMAMOO has gone through various ups and downs. Nevertheless, the success has been written under their name. The four-member MAMAMOO kpop girl group debuted on 18 June 2014 with their first single, Mr. Ambiguous, under RBW. The group consists of four dazzling stars- leader Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein, and Hwasa.
Some critics even considered their debut as one of the best Kpop debuts of 2014, which is a huge thing. After 2014 falls under the 3rd generation kpop, where we welcomed various worldwide famous kpop bands such as GOT7, Hotshot, Infinite F, Lovelyz, Red Velvet, etc. Also, due to their strong stage persona, MAMAMOO members always stand out from the crowd. The members are recognized for their jazz, R&B, retro concepts, and strong vocal performances. Therefore, MAMAMOO’s discography consists of 3 studio albums, 1 compilation album, 44 music videos, 11 EPs, 25 singles, and 17 promotional singles.
Besides the group activities, the members are focused on their solo careers. Since each member possesses a unique charm, there is no doubt Moomoos (MAMAMOO Fandom Name) can’t help but fall in love with them!
