Hwini of the group MAMAMOO shared her emotional state as she recalled the group's peak period.
Recently, footage of Hwini reflecting on her past activities during a live broadcast on a fan community platform has spread across online communities and social media (SNS).
During a live broadcast held last month, Hwini mentioned the period when MAMAMOO was actively active while communicating with fans. She began by saying, "I get incredibly emotional during tours. A lot of thoughts come to mind," adding that these were things she could not have imagined in her early to mid-20s.
She continued, "During the time when MAMAMOO was at the height of their prime, I often think about wanting to go back to those days." She confided, "Honestly, there were times when I really hated it. It was too exhausting."
Reflecting on her non-stop activities, Hwini said, "People need rest to feel the precious things that come in between, but when you push through without a break, you often overlook what you gain for yourself." She noted that the difficult moments at the time have remained as nostalgia after time has passed.
She also said she sometimes watches past videos and sheds tears alone. Hwini revealed, "Looking back now, it was hard but also fun." She added, "When I drink alone, I play old MAMAMOO videos. It seems like a drunken rant. I watch them and cry by myself."
In particular, she disclosed an anecdote about having confided in former broadcaster Kim Shin-young that she wanted to quit her singing career. At the time, Kim Shin-young advised her that she would one day miss those days. Hwini shared, "Honestly, I didn't understand it back then. I truly feel the weight of those words now."
MAMAMOO is recently meeting fans through their world tour, "MAMAMOO 2026 WORLD TOUR [4WARD]."
