I’m a talented person
you have to love me.
What was I thinking?
Also our fans (Moo-Moo’s)
like 18+
After this song was released,
the members were like
we’ve all become trash
Hello everyone it’s Wheein!
Let’s begin
where we’ll take a look into my latest activities in detail
Profile…
a dancer and vocalist of the girl group MAMAMOO
since we’re a group strongly focused on our vocals
many people get surprised when I say that I’m a performer
I’m also a great dancer guys
Known as Wheein
so my mom named me Wheein
shining person
meaning to become a person who shines
The story behind my name is that
my aunt first mentioned it
there was a character from this comic or some book she read named Wheein
and thought it was a pretty name
my mom then added a beautiful meaning to it
and named me Wheein
That’s what I heard
It seems that you're from Jeonju. Could you tell us about your hometown?
Jeonju
honestly, I have great pride that
it is a city of taste
People who go traveling to Jeonju often ask me
where they should go
but people who live in Jeonju don’t really have a specific place to recommend
because whichever restaurant they go to, it’s nice
So I struggle to suggest a place when people ask
of course, there are must-go restaurants
but for first-time visitors, you’ll realize that you ’ll find great food wherever you go
The songs that I featured in as a singer, Wheein
among MAMAMOO members
I believe I’ve contributed the most to various soundtracks
Which song was the most memorable?
I contributed to the soundtrack for the drama
this is a cover of the late Seo Ji Won’s ,
I appeared on the show,
sadly, I got eliminated on the second round
This was the song I had prepared to sing on the third round
but I never made it so I kept it to myself
but my fans really wanted it
they asked me to sing this song whenever I could
then I got the offer to take part in the ost tracklist
with this song
and it felt like it was all just meant to be
so it was all a very cool experience
You’ve appeared in a lot of singing competition programs
Our team participated in a lot of competitions
Frankly, we don’t really like competitions
Since you’re placed in a situation where you have to win
we’re up against all these talented people
and we have to strive to be better than them
so we couldn’t fully enjoy it because of all the pressure
You also participated in the idol star athletics championship
Right, we won the gold medal in the archery idol championship
I’m not sure if they still do it now
but back then I was the first to score three 10 point scores in a row
So I was even called ‘Wheegolas’ at the time
I think I got really lucky that day
people complimented how I have good archery posture
to be frank, I didn’t practice that much
but I happened to get such great results that day
so I was lucked out
Now let’s take a look at my main songs
Follow me
Oh I don’t know if I can watch this
I don’t think I can
I seriously can’t watch this
a lot of artists appeared in this music video
they were all so willing to help us out…
What was I thinking?
we were all each assigned a color which was showcased in our outfits
to leave an impression on the public so they can remember us
even our hairstyles
we made sure that we didn’t clash with one another
oh the one with short hair, the one with bangs, the one wearing a hat
we focused a lot on trying to show distinct traits that they’ll remember
. I recall that at the time MAMAMOO was considered an unconventional idol group
we were an idol girl group for sure
but our identity was formed during our training period
we worked together for our monthly evaluations and tests
and that’s how we naturally found our own color
so the company suggested portraying an image of an idol group
who are witty, bubbly, and who enjoys being on stage
and that’s what we did
Starry Night
This was the first music video that got the most views
We filmed this in New Zealand
When we went
we experienced abnormal weather changes that occurs once or twice a year
it would rain and then stop and then it’ll be sunny again
then suddenly get cloudy
I’m not kidding, the weather would change every 2 minutes
but the uv ray was so strong
the staff members’ scalp and feet got sunburnt
we all got tanned after that trip
we all looked very grubby
the shoot went on for about 3-4 days
oh my, I don’t even remember
we barely slept
because the day is…
oh I forgot
I can’t remember if the days were shorter or longer…
was it longer?
anyway, so we had to finish shooting during the day or the sun will set
so we would sleep for an hour or two and shoot and repeat that over again
the only good memory I have is that we got to have steak on the last day
Was that the start to your jam packed schedule?
That’s right Since starry night
we started the project, ‘4 Season 4 Color’
this is the first album
from then until the project ended
I was completely worn out
I was sensitive
we were just so busy
to the point where I thought I would die
we were that busy
oh I have something to say about this
this is my first single
a song that I really really really cherish
but I never got to perform on stage with it
so in a way, it never saw the light of the day
it’s a shame
this person and I have the same opinion
I come to listen to all the time
it’s a real bummer that not many people know about this great song
thank you
it’s a great song guys
you all have to listen to it
it seems that this person used a translator
Wheein is seriously talented
she has an amazing voice, is good at dancing, and has a great memory
she can play the piano and drums really well
I am talented
this is hilarious
such a cute comment
sometimes when you use the translator
the tone unintentionally turns quite aggressive
you have to love me
something like that
it cracks me up
is a song
that was able to express ourselves honestly
The lyrics are quite straightforward
So, I think that’s why people felt
very refreshed hearing the song
Also this was the first time trying such difficult dance choreography
There was this saying
that we’re only good at live singing because our dances aren’t that difficult
So we wanted to prove that it wasn’t true
We wanted to show that we’re good at singing while doing difficult dance moves
So this was to show the people that
we’re good at live no matter our dance
I think this was our last concert that was performed
in front of an actual crowd
so sad
This song is my first Mini Album
It’s a ‘New Jack Swing’ genre
I like this kind of genre
and because there wasn’t too many artists at the time working on this genre
I thought it’d be great to try
The song also gets your inner dancing vibes tingling
The song may sound too jumpy and happy
so the MV’s tone and these scenes
add a tint of seriousness to it
It’s a song that has serious sides too
Let’s get into ‘Wheein Moment’
a collection of important moments
Let’s start
now!
It’s a song I sang on the second round in
There is a sad story to this, that not many people know
It’s actually a stage I was most nervous on since my debut
The reason is
because the waiting room, was so dry
so my neck felt really dry
but because the song was so high pitched
and needed various skills
I tried so hard behind that mask
I felt like I was going to explode
It’s a bright song but everytime I hear it, I feel sad
I was so exhausted
After the show, my mom and friends were like
they saw me on
Even if I was fully masked
they recognized me
and kept asking me
if it was me on the show
I was like ‘No’ because
I couldn’t tell anyone
but I think it shows
people knew it was me even if I denied
‘I think she’d be as successful as Taeyeon and IU if she went solo’
‘Crazy tone!’
Thank you so much. I will try my best
Please keep showing your love
It’s a swear but…
‘So damn good’
This is the type of swear word that just comes out of positive exclamation
This one’s okay
This is one of my favorite stages
It’s a song I sang on
it’s called by Gummi
It’s a very memorable stage
Actually I liked this song a lot even before this stage
and my partner Hee Joo
How are you?
I sometimes talk about her with my manager
I miss Hee Joo. I wonder how she’s doing.
I had so much fun practicing at the time
I even thought of finding her through
I want to know how she’s been, if she’s married
Contact me
‘Wheein has a very sturdy tone when she’s hitting a high note,
that’s what makes her voice sound more detailed and desperate’
‘Wheein has such a lovely tone that’s very ear-catching,
on top of that, she has such a strong voice’
‘Wheein has great lung-power when she songs’
‘When she’s singing a high pitched note, she shows this detailed finesse’
‘She also has a very strong base tone so when she’s singing low tone, its crazy’
‘She’s good at singing sad songs, happy songs, warm songs, all kinds of songs’
‘She’s not just good at singing, but she has great line when dancing’
The question is, where did that nickname come from?
Let’s see
I feel like I got a year worth of compliments
Thank you so much
There are some fans
who pinpoint out my good sides
and explain it in detail
When I read them, I’m so impressed by their way of expression
how they can write in such detail
It’s so thankful and grateful
Thank you guys
Actually out of our members
I have some ‘killer-cuteness’
The members tell me that I have a lot of cute sides
At first I thought ‘Do I?’ but I think I do
My cuteness is just part of my life
You know, the tone in front of people I’m comfortable with or like,
I have this cute tone
I think that’s why people feel that way
I also like to joke around a lot
so people tell me that I am Cheeky and Playful
Some of my fans have become Moo Moo’s because of it
Is that why you have lots of dog-related nicknames?
Oh yeh, theres “Mung-Mung-Whee” and “Daeng-Daeng-Whee” (All related to dogs)
“Mung-Goo”
“Malleng-Kongdduck-Pup”
“Pup” and stuff like that
I guess it’s because of the way I act
Apparently I look like a dog that just arrived after going out on a stroll
‘When God made Wheein, he accidently poured in all the good stuff,
so that’s how she was born’
That’s so funny
, is a song from my album
The lyrics are slightly 18+
Everytime I think about you, I go 18+
My mind is full of trashy thoughts about you
So that’s why the song is called
I got the ides off Jun Hyung Park (Ex. GOD member)
he’s often say “You have trashy mind”
That’s where I got the idea from
Also our fans (Moo-Moo’s)
like 18+
That’s how I began working on it
After this song was released,
the members were like
we’ve all become trash
they kept telling me to do something about it
because people think that we’re dirty minded
It’s a song called
Season’s Greeting
I mean, not a song
contents
It’s an official behind the scenes
clips by the company ‘THE1IVE’
It’s behind the scenes from Season’s Greeting
It was actually fun
Our fans like seeing
behind the scene episodes
from our schedules and stuff
they tend to be curious and want to know
That’s why I try to film more of these sort of contents
I have many more to show so keep in tune
I’m going to live life to the full this year!
We’ve looked at my records since my debut
I hope you guys enjoyed it too
This year,
I am planning to show more of my musician sides
I’m going to prepare each album
one by one, and put in lots of effort
I’m also preparing to show you different sides to myself
so hope you guys stay tunes
Please keep a close eye on me!
