Read on as we recap what went on during the concert!

The Green Moobong Ocean Welcomes MAMAMOO

MAMAMOO have previously performed in Malaysia as part of the lineup for K-WAVE 2 Music Festival back in 2018. This time, MAMAMOO held a full concert for the Malaysian MooMoos! As part of the Asian leg of the [MYCON] world tour, the concert took place at Malawati Indoor Stadium, Shah Alam on February 11.

The concert started at 7:45 PM local time. The crowd screamed enthusiastically as MAMAMOO opened the stage with 1,2,3 Eoi!, followed by Mr. Ambiguous, their debut single from 2014. They then performed a medley of some of their hits, which include Freakin Shoes, Dingga, Funky Boy, and You’re The Best! which showcased their singing and dancing abilities.

Special Solo Stages

A special part of this concert was where the members swapped solo songs and performed them specially for the concert attendees. Solar was first to perform Wheein’s Water Color, Hwasa sang Moonbyul‘s Eclipse, Wheein with Solar’s Honey, and finally Moonbyul sang Hwasa‘s Twit. After the solo stage, they performed a medley of each other’s solo tracks together which were Spit It Out (Solar), Make Me Happy (Wheein), LUNATIC (Moonbyul), and Maria (Hwasa).

MAMAMOO Learns Malaysian Slang

During the concert, MAMAMOO did not miss the opportunity to use a few Malay words as part of their famous ad-lib during performances. Words like ‘Terima kasih‘ (Thank you), ‘Aku cinta kamu‘ (I love you), and ‘Terbaik‘ (Amazing) were used, much to the delight of the Malaysian MooMoos attending the concert. The quartet also threw out expressions that were not normally used by Koreans such as ‘Walao eh‘ (Wow), ‘Aiyo‘ (Oh no) and ‘Alamak‘ (Oh my god), which prompted some crazy cheers from the attendees.

Surprise from the Malaysian MooMoos

Malaysian MooMoos have prepared several events throughout the concert. During the performance of I Love Too, the audience took out support banners which read: “Where MAMAMOO’s eyes reach, we (moomoos) will always be there.“

In addition, they also prepared a fan video and a birthday cake to celebrate Solar’s birthday on February 21 in advance. Solar was moved and she shouted: “Kuala Lumpur, thank you”!

Starry Night with MAMAMOO

As the concert was ending, MAMAMOO had their closing comments from each member. Hwasa said that she brought the best performance for everyone and she was so happy to spend time with MooMoos; Wheein said that she will remember the Malaysian fans as we gave them good memories; Moonbyul said that they enjoyed tonight’s concert and will definitely come back again, and leader Solar reiterated their promise to come again to Malaysia next time. They performed Starry Night and Wind Flower before exiting the stage.

Malaysian MooMoos wanted more as they cheered for an encore from MAMAMOO. A few minutes later, they were back on stage for an encore performance as they performed a medley of their songs Travel, Universe, and Yes I Am. The members threw signed merchandise as well as the towels they had wiped off their sweat to lucky fans during the performances.

The quartet finally ended the concert with L.I.E.C and Um Oh Ah Yeh, and bowed 90 degrees to thank all MooMoos that attended the concert.

Overall, Malaysian MooMoos had so much fun during the 3-hours long concert, and will definitely anticipate the return of MAMAMOO to Malaysia.
