MAMAMOO talking about how they were being ignored, belittled and mistreated
a t h r e a d ;

I literally just cried while writing this down so don't hurt too much

Somehow they got used to being ignored that's why they have low expectations and always stand at the back in every award show

- we weren't expecting to win at all so we were standing all the way in the back
- we're used to getting squished into the corner

They always get ignored and get edited out in shows
(when they recorded a lot and they even made a request for it)

- we filmed many backstage videos but when we watched... there's almost nothing
- we got edited out a lot
- we wish that everything will be shown without being edited out

I hate how they were laughing while filming this. They suck at acting. I know they were about to cry.

Many people belittled and thought lighty of them

- you know how we were a team that started off wanting to approach the public in a friendly way? I don't know if it's because we're that kind of team but there are many people who think really lighty of us
- but we're humans, before we were celebrities we're humans.

- when we first started, we didn't have a lot of schedules. Although we didn't have a lot, among those schedules we met a lot of people. They sort of... ignored us?
- i was mad, and all of us felt the same way
- we were like "let's work hard" "let's make them know about us"

- "let's show them what we have" i remember we talked about things like those.
- but i think those are the things that made us stronger
- I think it became the driving force for us to work harder
- that's how the 4 of us got united too

They were ignored a lot until people see their performances.

They were told they weren't pretty so MAMAMOO took the challenge and did everything by themselves to get where they are now. They're gorgeous, hard-working and talented. That's why they're successful.

- when we were trainees, our agency told us that, we realistically weren't tall and lean like models or looked cool in that way
- we weren't exceptionally pretty either
- that's why our agency told us that, good songs and good performances were our way to the top

- we weren't defeated after that though, it actually made us work even harder

Hwasa talking about how she was told that she was "fat" and how she coped up.

- "she's so heavy, but look at her" my feelings were very hurt
- i remember bawling my eyes out and running home. There was a video clip of Beyonce's concert that I really loved, and i played that whenever I was crying

- I told myself "I want to" be like that person which soon transformed into "I can" be like that person because I believe in myself and I am confident.
- with that thought in mind, in a month I lost weight, worked very hard and came to Seoul.
- I was really influenced by Beyonce
