Will Mamamoo Renew Their Contract as a Group?
The recent departure of Wheein and upcoming challenges faced by the group have sparked a series of discussions about the future of Mamamoo. While some members may want to continue performing, the reality is that all members are now considering their futures and how they can move forward. This blog post will explore the possibilities and considerations for Mamamoo's future.
Mamamoo’s Current Situation
Wheein, who has expressed mixed feelings about her idol life, is taking a break for her mental health. This has sparked speculation about whether she will renew her contract. Given her statement about the idol life being suffocating, it seems unlikely that she will continue her solo career with Mamamoo.
The relationship between Wheein and Hwasa has been strong since they were young. With Wheein leaving, Hwasa may also consider stepping away. However, Hwasa has a promising solo career and could choose to continue her career independently.
Solar and Moonbyul, on the other hand, may want to continue the group. Both members are around 30 years old and might be thinking about their futures. Moonbyul has mentioned that she will not focus on relationships while she is focused on her work. Additionally, fans and the public would likely react negatively if the group members started dating.
Possibilities and Funding Concerns
Another concern for the future of Mamamoo is the financial aspect. Maintaining a group for another seven years as an idol would be challenging, especially considering the group's current age. By the time seven more years pass, both Moonbyul and Solar would be around 37 years old, which might be too old for the group to continue as the core members.
Mamamoo has built a strong bond over the years and the members consider themselves a family. Despite the possibility of the group disbanding, they will likely remain friends and supportive of each other's future endeavors.
Health and Personal Goals
The members' health and personal goals are also factors to consider. Some members have expressed interests in having relationships in the future, while others are focused on their careers. The pressure of constant public scrutiny and the balancing act between fame and personal life can be particularly challenging for K-pop idols.
For some members, the current idol life might be overwhelming. Wheein's statement about the suffocating nature of idol life adds weight to the possibility of disbandment. Others may choose to continue their careers independently or as a smaller unit, which would depend on their contracts and personal preferences.
Conclusion
While it is hoped that the group will continue, there is a high chance of disbandment. If one member leaves, the group is likely to discontinue operations as it's challenging for members to continue together. They are now at a crossroads, balancing their careers, personal lives, and the public's expectations. Regardless of the outcome, the members are likely to remain connected, supporting each other in their respective paths.
---
The future of Mamamoo is uncertain, but one thing is clear: the group's journey has been impactful for both their fans and themselves. As the members navigate this new chapter, it remains to be seen how they will move forward. The bond they have built will undoubtedly continue to sustain them in various ways.
