Who is Solar from Mamamoo? Meet the K-pop girl band’s beautiful singer and group leader
Four-member girl band Mamamoo made their debut in 2014 and have been on the rise to stardom since, with their main vocalist Solar the quartet’s most influential and popular member
Since the era of large K-pop supergroups such as Super Junior and Girls’ Generation arrived, many popular South Korean acts have featured a mind-boggling number of members.
Reigning superstars BTS have seven members, while boy band Exo and popular girl group Twice both have nine. These outfits find their strength in numbers, marching onto the stage like perfectly made-up armies.
But there’s also something to be said for smaller groups such as Big Bang, 2NE1 and Mamamoo, who have all focused on promoting their individual members as larger-than-life personalities.
The four-member Mamamoo made their debut in 2014 with a polished, jazzy R&B sound and a retro image. The video for their debut single, the funk-infused Mr. Ambiguous, featured plenty of celebrity cameos, including Lee Jong-hyun from CNBlue and singer Baek Ji-young.
As K-pop fever swept the globe in recent years, Mamamoo won over fans with their six EPs and one album released so far, and they even hit the top of the Billboard World Albums chart with their 2017 EP “Purple”.
