Don't be surprised if you see these South Korean girls without makeup: Who does Mamamoo consist of?

As we all know, there are certain concepts of beauty in the K-pop industry. Idols who don't meet this standard are unfortunately bullied and deemed not "beautiful". Mamamoo has been fighting these bullies since the day they debuted because they don't fit these molds. But they're not at all upset that they don't have the slim body, pale flawless skin, or big eyes that the industry defines. On the contrary, they love themselves as they are. This way, they set their own beauty standards and take pride in their appearance.

Iconic looks

Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein, and Hwasa manage to annoy their haters with their styles. How can we forget Moonbyul's suits and Whasa's iconic red body suit? The members are redefining the “classic girl group” image fascinatingly.

Mamamoo is a South Korean girl group formed and managed by Rainbow Bridge World. The group is composed of four members: Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein, and Hwasa. Known for their strong live vocals, harmonies, and writing much of their material, they are recognized as one of the premier girl groups in K-pop. They are highly regarded in the industry for their talent, and ability to cross multiple genres with their music; from retro, jazz, R&B concepts in their early years to more contemporary hip-hop, as well as emotional ballads. Since their debut in 2014, they have been noted for challenging conventional beauty standards, breaking gender stereotypes and conducting themselves in ways that most typical K-pop stars do not.

They broke the double standards

Although it is considered normal for male singers to tear their clothes on stage, this is not welcomed by female singers and they are subjected to harsh criticism. One of these names is Solar. The idol ripped her shirt when she covered BTS's song "Fire". Solar responded to the criticism by saying, "After seeing many male idols tearing their shirts on stage, I wondered 'Why can't girls do this?' and I did it." He's so right!

What's the make-up?

It is often possible to see Mamamoo girls without make-up. They never hesitate to hide their natural beauty. By normalizing this, they also support people in loving themselves as they are.

The universal language of music

We know that Mamamoo loves to break all kinds of molds. They don't stick to the standard with their lyrics either. They break down gender stereotypes so their lyrics appeal to everyone. Moonbyul says that music has a universal language and she likes to challenge these stereotypes through music.

Music for everyone

Mamamoo does not forget to value its fans with physical disabilities. During a fan meeting, Wheein was praised for communicating with a hearing-impaired fan using sign language. Moreover, there is a section in the choreography of the song "Starry Night" where they convey the lyrics through sign language.
