Hwasa of Mamamoo

Hwasa of Mamamoo expressed her thanks to fans for supporting the group’s latest album “Yellow Flower” in a live broadcast held via Naver’s V app Sunday.

On the day, the group wrapped up promotional activities for the album.

“We had the last music show for ‘Yellow Flower,’” she said, opening up the broadcast. “As it is the last night of promotional activities for this album, and to cheer ourselves up, as we have worked hard so far, I am holding the V app broadcast.

The singer attributed the success of the promotional activities to fans.

“In some way, it is the fans who went through more hardships (during the promotion) rather than us,” she said. “We could at least wait in the waiting room or inside the car but the fans had to wait outside. You worked really hard.”

“Also those who supported us from home, you must have streamed our songs and left some good comments for Mamamoo. Thank you so much,” she said. “I think such trivial things are more difficult.”

During the broadcast, she hinted at upcoming solo releases.

“You must be really disappointed as the promotion was not as long as before,” she said. “But we have an enormous plan!”

She said all four Mamamoo bandmates are preparing for solo activities. Solar is preparing for a solo concert, while Moonbyul and Wheein are preparing for solo releases, she said.

“In my case, I do have the music style that I want to pursue but my work is not yet satisfactory,” she said. “But I will aim for (releasing a solo track) this year.”
