In light of the impending release of their 1st mini album 'Two Rabbits', MAMAMOO+ members Solar and Moon Byul took part in a roundtable interview with the press and shared their thoughts on their unit comeback.
During this interview, Solar and Moon Byul honestly opened up about the possibility of MAMAMOO promoting actively as a group again. Solar began, "We all want to keep MAMAMOO together, but realistically, I don't think it's possible for us to release group albums easily like we used to. Even though there are realistic hurdles to overcome, I personally really enjoyed our world tour and felt afterward, 'I want to do this again'. But even if I keep saying I want to, each person has their own situation, so I don't know when the next time will be or how it will happen. Still, we will try to adjust our schedules and promote as a team when we can, even if it's not often. I do think that it won't be easy, not like it used to be when we were all together."
Moon Byul added on here, "It's not that because we are at different agencies now, that MAMAMOO is not four. If we've achieved our dreams as a group, then it's also time to think about our individual dreams. We are in our 10th year of promotions after all. I think that the expression 'Separate but together' suits us well. While doing our best in our respective places, if we can get together again when the opportunity arises, we can always show our best side as a group."
Solar also reflected the disappointment that many of the group's loyal fans are experiencing, stating, "Of course, I also feel disappointed. I personally feel that the individual can exist because the team exists. Promoting individually and having your own career is great too, but I guess as the leader of the group with the most responsibility, there's always a part of me that wishes to see the team form a stronger bond. Before, we placed more importance on our group promotions, and now, we place more importance on individual promotions which does disappoint me from time to time. But I suppose that is reality, and I need to accept it while finding the best way to move forward from here."
Meanwhile, MAMAMOO+'s 1st mini album 'Two Rabbits', containing the title track "Dangdang", will be out on August 3 at 6 PM KST.
Can't believe it's been ten years since Mamamoo burst onto the scene with Mr. Ambiguous.
Time truly flies.
