Follow a letter MAMAMOO member Solar posted to the group's official fan cafe, fans are getting increasingly wonder about the group's potential disbandment. Read more about it here.
Recently, MAMAMOO released their tenth extended play 'Travel' with the title track 'Aya'. To celebrate the drop in the extended play, Solar shared a letter to fans. However, fans felt something different from her post, as she mentioned how many years the group has been around for and feeling both thankful and sorry.
Fans have started worrying that she is hinting at the group's possible disbandment. As many fans know, MAMAMOO's contracts with RBW will expire next year, 2021.
Read her whole post here:
"Hello.
Our new album finally came out yesterday.
I am eternally grateful to our MooMoos, but this album in particular makes me feel even more thankful and apologetic.
I will repay MooMoos who give us so much love in some way.
I know I still have a long road ahead, but I want to thank everyone for loving me and staying with me.
I have been thinking a lot about how to share with you all my heart and decided to write this.
Thank you for laughing and crying with me, and for giving me strength these past seven years, which have felt both so short and so long.
I will do my best until the end of these promotions.
Thank you so much."
As the post started going round, many speculate that she posted this knowing MAMAMOO could possibly be disbanding. However, some people tried to refute the rumors by saying this is really how Solar speaks and types and should not cause concern over disbandment.
This is notably not the first time Solar has spoken up about the group possibly disbanding. Earlier this year, she and Moonbyul brought the topic up during a V Live.
In the said V Live, a fan had asked the girls if they would be renewing their contracts with RBW. Solar answered that they were still unsure of what was going to happen. Moonbyul agreed and told fans that renewing their contract was not an easy decision and needed a lot of thought.
Solar said that the members will talk about it together whether or not they will renew their contract and both the members of MAMAMOO and the fans will know if they choose to renew their contracts next year. Both Solar and Moonbyul informed fans that they could not give a straight answer on whether they will be renewing their contacts, and said that they do not know what will happen.
However, they asked fans to not waste the time they have with MAMAMOO now and said that they think it is more important to cherish the times they have together and with their fans.
Korean netizens have stated that though they love MAMAMOO and their music, it is not up to them whether the members choose to part ways. Many also commented that though they would want MAMAMOO to stay together, it is the members' opinions that are important and that they would support them no matter what.
