• MAMAMOO's Moonbyul Opens Up About Fights with Solar: "We have had many fights"

    Mamamoo's Moonbyul has shared her thoughts on solo stages and her dynamic with fellow member Solar.

    On September 17, Moonbyul appeared in a video with broadcaster Song Eun-i on the YouTube channel 'V-BOT TV.' They talked about various topics, including Moonbyul's solo activities.

    When asked by Song Eun-i if returning to group work after solo projects feels exciting or disappointing, Moonbyul responded, "Each of us has our own favorite music. Solo activities are like starting a new chapter. Mamamoo will stay as four members unless we disband, but we each want to explore our own paths too. I believe it will all come together even more when we come back to Mamamoo's music."

    Moonbyul also talked about her relationship with Solar. She said, "Solar and I are just one year apart. Instead of seeing her as an older sister, she's more like a friend. We have had many fights," showing her affection for Solar.

    When Song Eun-i asked if they ever fought by grabbing each other’s hair, Moonbyul laughed and said, "Yes, we have fought like that."

    Describing their current relationship, Moonbyul said, "We’re in a good place now. We used to have more sharp words, but now we just brush things off. I feel like we’ve both grown up."

    Song Eun-i tested Moonbyul with a choice: a surprise busking session with Mamamoo or a solo performance at Coachella. Moonbyul pretended to be distressed but ultimately said, "Realistically, I would choose Coachella. It’s a rare opportunity, and I think both the members and the fans would support me taking it."
