Q: Several years ago we randomly came across MAMAMOO fans at the gate. The percentage of female fans was very high.
Truthfully, our range of fans is vast, but our female fans are the most active. There’s a sense of happiness when we are recognized by the same gender. I think because we are the same gender, they are able to understand more of what’s on the inside.

There was a time I was busy trying to show my bright side. I used to think that because this is what people wanted to see, I would have to try hard to show that to them. Although that is still important, I try to do what I enjoy more these days.
After experiencing my thoughts and ideas come to life, I realized that I would be able to continue doing this if I kept doing what I enjoy.

Q: What is the driving force that brought you here today?
MAMAMOO. In the beginning, we would rely on the members for support. But these days, we seem to lean on our fans more. It was reassuring to have people listen and show interest whenever I released music or did something.
The words “You did well” are something that I want to hear not only with my music or dance but also in my daily life. Whenever I hear those words it reminds me that I don’t need to stay trapped inside my cage.
