Moonbyul then told her members that she thinks people tend to approach them lightly because they started off as a group with a friendly public image.

She recalled one moment when MAMAMOO members were eating and having fun in Jeju — a drunk man approached them and told Moonbyul to do this:

A drunk man came up to us and told me to ‘live properly’. – Moonbyul

It turns out that all the members were affected by this surprising encounter. Moonbyul got upset that she really reflected on the impact of a stranger’s words.

She even started to tear up because she felt upset that people can treat them however they want just because they’re celebrities.

Accepting it, and then finding ways to overcome it is the important part. – Solar

Moonbyul was thankful that she wasn’t a soloist because she couldn’t endure unpleasant situations like the one that happened.

The members gracefully put an end to their conversation by expressing their gratitude for each other.
