[Editor’s Note] Reporter Choi Hyejin introduces a hit song that she enjoyed listening to during "Latte" 10 years ago
The group Mamamoo rose to the top of the music charts 10 years ago upon the release of its first full-length album.
Ten years ago, on February 26, 2016, Mamamoo's first full-length album "Melting" was released.
Producer Kim Do-hoon and hit song maker Ethan Sidekick participated in the co-writing of the title song "You're Whatever" for the first time, creating synergy. In the composition across genres, the colloquial phrase "I can't do anything" was melted into the lyrics, drawing criticism that Mamamoo's unique addiction was created.
Mamamoo, which entered its second year of debut at the time, achieved remarkable results at home and abroad with "You're Whatever." In addition to winning eight music shows, he also showed off his presence by ranking eighth in the U.S. Billboard World Albums chart.
At that time, a column titled "Mamamoo's 'Melting' returned retro soul to K-pop" was posted in the Billboard K-pop column section, highlighting them.
Mamamoo solidified the title of a "musician" by releasing free-spirited energy on stage while showing unshakable live and colorful ad-libs. This charm led to the establishment of a strong female fandom, and it was reported that the proportion of female audiences in the first solo concert "2016 Mujical" was overwhelmingly high.
MAMAMOO's success has also been proven by figures. Immediately after its release, "You're the Best" recorded a line-up of major domestic music charts. In fact, Mamamoo's "You're Whatever" was proudly ranked No. 1 on the Melon comprehensive weekly chart in the first week of March 2016 (February 29th to March 6th).
