This is so fun!  Usually, Wheein gets recognized way later, with reactions like, “Wait, how have I missed her?” and like “Was Wheein always this good?” You have such good taste.

Usually, people start noticing Wheein when they watch MAMAMOO’s behind-the-scenes videos or MMMTV because she’s genuinely hilarious. Also, if you wanna know more about their personalities, I HIGHLY recommend “Why MAMAMOO Should Stop Hosting Their Own Show.” It’s only about 10 minutes and perfectly shows you how they literally can’t be serious for longer than 3 seconds.

If you enjoy ballads, Wheein has a lot of kdrama OSTs 💚

I’ve seen others already recommended the Purple Hawk guide, so just wanted to give it another vote! This guide does a fantastic job of showcasing the groups struggles, achievements, and beliefs, but it doesn’t truly dive into the members themselves.  Which, I understand cause this guide would’ve been 8 hours long. lol. But I think understanding the members on a deeper level really enhances the way you perceive their music, so I think it’s worth the watch. There’s two parts and it’s a bit long, but worth it. Also, Purple Hawk either took the video down or closed their channel (I think the latter) so another channel reuploaded the guide, in case you get confused when you look for it. It’s called Introducing: Mamamoo and it’s uploaded by Moofin. Also, just saying, Purple Hawk did an incredible job, so it literally feels like it’s professionally made and their commentary is legendary. It’s worth watching just for that honestly. lol.

5:43 haha “the bang girl.” Love it ❤

Looking forward to your continueing reactions to Mamamoo.  If you want more information about the individual members I'd recommend watching the Purple Hawk guide from 2019.

Wheein is also my bias. As the saying goes "Once you Whee-in you can't Whee-out". But seriously all 4 members are my biases at any given time, there's just no other girl group like them.

Mamamoo are one of my top 5 girl groups of all time. In order they are 2NE1, Mamamoo, XG, Red Velvet and Dreamcatcher.

Get in line for Wheein😂 my ult kpop bias. Her solo work is amazing, my personal favorite❤❤

mamamoo is such an awesome group! when i learned about the start of their career (from a lot of various contents) i nearly cried. they have it very harsh starting out. very happy to see how far they've gone both as a group and their own solo careers. love the reactions btw as usual!

Another really fun video of theirs is from Mamamoo TV. It was filmed in the car on their way back to Seoul after a festival performance, and it’s basically just Mamamoo being Mamamoo. 😂 The episode is called “How Mamamoo Plays in the Car.” Definitely worth watching!

Ugh it’s so refreshing to see when someone instantly recognizes Wheein (like I did) I love all the girls but Wheein has a special place in my heart. You should definitely check out her solo works. And yup, Wheein has several tattoos and I believe one or two of them were personally designed by her.

the introduce video so serious more than I expected. but I agree that they're so underrated 😭 I perfer funny one like "INTRODUCE MAMAMOO! part 1&2" because beagle side of them. (mamamoo was called beagle idol) hope you find out fuuny side of them too❤️

Yaaaay!! More Mamamoo deep dive 🤗🎉 welcome to the radish farm! 💚 moomoo(fandom name) = radish in korean. That’s why our light stick is a radish. Can’t wait for you to hear their whole discography. Truly masterpieces. Plus their solos are so distinct and true to their musical styles. ❤️‍🔥

im excited for your future group and/or solo mamamoo reactions! whether their music or just getting to know their personalities through mmmtv vids, i'll be here for it. have a fun journey!
also as some comments probably mentioned, it surprised me too that you noticed wheein right away. when i first discovered the group, i noticed wheein last, questioning myself like how did my eyes and ears overlooked her. idk i just knew a bit later that i resonated with her more as i got to know the group on and off stage.

Thank you so so much for reacting to this video!!

They are grat as a group and solo, love them so much ❤❤❤❤  Waiting for more reactions, you will fall in love and become a moomoo 😊

I just saw them live in Sydney! I knew a little bit of Mamamoo, but not a lot. Now I wish I knew more before the show because they were excellent!

Thanks for checking out this guide.  It's a good intro to their talent, the things that make them different from other groups and their difficult journey from less than zero to where they are now.  I think anyone's first impression of Mamamoo these days is that they're beautiful women with can't miss talent but that was far from the case when they debuted in 2014.  The guide doesn't mention it so here's their origin story.
RBW was called WA Entertainment when MMM debuted.  WA's co-CEO Kim Dohoon had the 'novel' idea of forming a girl group based on their vocal talent, creativity and performance skills and promoting them as artists rather than teen idols, as opposed to the usual formula where an agency selects members from a pool of trainees based on how their looks and skills fit into a pre-determined marketing concept such as cute, sexy or girl crush.  Kim Dohoon plucked Mamamoo's members from the scrap heap of audition rejects and retreads from other companies.  Hwasa was tossed out of auditions and bluntly told she was fat and ugly.  Solar failed about 50 auditions with other agencies because she was thought to be too old (over 20) and didn't even bother with SM because she knew her age would disqualify her.  Moonbyul & Wheein signed with WA Ent after failing to debut with another company.  At a pre-debut showcase all the industry insiders told Kim Dohoon Mamamoo would fail miserably and that he was crazy to make them the first group to debut under the new agency.
You're correct about their bff sisterhood bond.  MMM believes they were fated to meet and become besties regardless of whether they were singers or in a group together.  Wheein and Hwasa have been best friends since middle school.  Solar and Moonbyul are practically inseparable.  They have a number of songs about their close friendship such as Destiny, Universe, Where Are We Now and their latest single 4 Flowers. Besides their vocal talent Mamamoo's team unity is often mentioned as one of the main factors in MMM's ability to overcome the enormous challenges they faced as rookies.  Imo the other main factors are Solar's leadership and the group's apparent determination that they would never be outworked by anyone.  Mamamoo are workaholics even by kpop's outrageous work ethic standard and are one of if not the hardest working group in show biz.  During the first several years they would often make 3 or 4 appearances a day.  Solar is so relentless that I think one of the reasons the other three call themselves the Loser Club is that they know they can't keep up with Solar when she's on a mission.  Ironically, Solar is also crackhead #1 in a group so goofy, hyper and off the rails that they were dubbed "beagle-dols" (beagle + idol) and she has so many contradictory personality traits that the other members once accused her of having a multiple personality disorder.  Solar is endlessly surprising and it takes time to get to know her.
Speaking of Solar, I have one quibble with this excellent guide video.  Nahiseokie said Solar was at the beginning of her solo career when the guide was made in 2022 but that's not entirely accurate.  Solar was the last member to make her official solo debut in 2020 but she was the first member to release solo songs with MVs via her ongoing series of covers starting in 2015, the first member to release a solo album with a collection of those covers in 2018, and the first member of MMM as well as the first member of a 3rd generation group to hold solo concerts in 2018.  She also made a number of high profile solo appearances such as the Immortal Songs tv show in 2019 and the 2019 KCON in Los Angeles.  But her 2020 song Spit It Out was the first time she released and promoted an original solo song so it's considered to be her official solo debut.
I'm sure I'm not the only moomoo who is impressed that you immediately connected with Wheein.  Wheein is the most reserved member of the group and she tends to be overlooked because of the charisma and stage presence of the other members.  It often takes time for folks to appreciate Wheein so good for you for latching on to her right away.  Wheein is MMM's all around Ace who is practically perfect at everything she does.  She's the backbone of the vocal line, the best dancer and the fastest to learn new choreo, and she has such an exceptional memory that she's basically Mamamoo's secret weapon.  Here are some highlights from her solo career:
Anymore (2017).  She's officially listed as the featured artist on this song by songwriter Jungkey but she's the only singer.  Her first and only #1 hit.
Easy (2018).  Her solo debut, featuring rapper Sik-K.
Goodbye (2019).  This is the MV about an unusual lesbian love affair gone wrong mentioned in the guide.
With My Tears and Shine on You (2020)  Two of her best OST songs.  Wheein received an award a few years ago as one of the ten best OST singers in Korea.
Watercolor (2021)
Make Me Happy (2022)
Butterfly (2025)  She released this independently and the lack of promotional support meant it gets overlooked but it's one of her best ballads. Not to be confused with the 2021 b-side with the same title, a terrific collab with G Soul.
The Symphony of Fxxkboys and Truth Hurts (2026).  The first songs completely in English by one of the members.
Have fun on your Mamamoo journey!

The MAMAMOO members are among some of the most-credited idols in K-Pop as of Jan 2025
- Moonbyul actually has the most songwriting credits of all 3rd generation female idols at 123(2nd most credited famale artist overall... Yoon Mirae at 141), since she writes her own raps(and more) in almost all of the group’s songs. As well as contributing to the songwriting in many of them as well.
- Solar has 46 credits as a songwriter and 24 credits as a composer. She wrote the lyrics and composition for her solo song, “Spit it Out”. Composer on "Honey".
- Hwasa has 50 credits. The lyrics to her solo song, “María”, were praised for its inventive and meaningful wordplay. ("Somebody" w/Loco).
- Wheein has 11 credits (that I can find, maybe more).

COULD use an Update as they have all released new/more music since.
- I'm sure they ALL have more, but I'm having trouble finding the info... if anyone can give me an UPDATE (TY).

I maintain that not only are they fantastically talented and overall GREAT!!! They may well be THE most important group in all of K-pop history. They mean more to their fans than any other. It's personal. And all of that hate aimed at Hwasa has helped make her the aggressive stage presence she is. She's a curvy shapely REAL woman,.. get over it. She may be the most beautiful woman on the planet. They are endlessly interesting and fun. Any deep dive you decide to do into them is WELL worth the while. Their live stages are UNPARALELLED!!!
