She’s also not afraid to show her passion for pole dancing, which can sometimes be viewed in a negative light by conservative Korean standards.

She shows fans that the sport is an artistic and beautiful performance that takes time and effort to perfect.

I pole danced first at our concert. I didn’t want to disappoint our fans, so I practiced really hard.

Similarly, Solar isn’t afraid to be sexy if she wants to in her dance covers.

Her outfit choices may be considered daring by some, but to Solar, she’s just putting on a cool performance!

Many male idols rip open their clothing while performing. It made me wonder ‘Why don’t female idols do that?’ I want to do that too.

2. She’s a charitable angel.

Solar is constantly giving back and spreading awareness for causes she believes in.

She once donated 100 twenty-two pound boxes of kimchi to underprivileged elderly men and women.

She’s encouraged fans to participate in the “Social Welfare Day Challenge” where the goal is to do what you can in order to help reduce social inequality.

She’s vocal about educating her audience on issues in the world, from female genital mutilation…

…to the danger caused to polar bears from the effects of global warming.

On 27 Feb we celebrate International Polar Bear Day. Every year, this global event draws attention to the challenges polar bears face in a warming Arctic 🐻

3. She keeps it real.

As a part of MAMAMOO, Solar is incredibly honest. Alcohol, contract end dates, TMI stories — Nothing is off-limits for MAMAMOO.

She’ll show the contents of her phone to fans…

…swipe through Tinder for her manager…

…and even show her weight before dieting!

She’s not afraid to show the world that she’s a real person with ups and downs just like everyone else.

Whenever I’m going on stage or broadcasts, I take around an hour to get my hair and makeup done, but on YouTube I wanted to show my natural side … If that’s a problem, you can skip the video.
