The quartet Mamamoo aired a live V show Thursday to talk about its second standalone concert, “Moosical - Curtain Call,” slated for March.

This is an encore concert to the group’s first standalone concert “Moosical” in August 2016.

“Although it’s an encore concert, it will not be a copy-and-paste performance. We prepared many new things so that the fans who were at ‘Moosical’ will return to find this one just as fun,” Solar said.

Hwasa added, “You’ll be surprised (at the concert).”

“It’s thanks to everyone’s loving support that this second concert is possible,” said Moonbyul, who emphasized she wants this concert to have a more party-like atmosphere.

“We will have very Mamamoo-esque events,” promised Wheein.
