In 2017, Taeha left Starship and transferred to MLD Entertainment, which just debuted its new girl group, MOMOLAND. In the same year, she was reported to join the group as an additional member, along with Daisy, making it a nine-member group.
As a member of the group, Taeha enjoyed massive popularity as the main vocalist, and created hits, "Bboom Bboom," "BAAM," "BANANA CHACHA" and more.
However, after being with the team for two years, Taeha eventually left, explaining that she wanted to focus more on her solo career.
