Four-member girl group MAMAMOO has revealed their honest thoughts on their “powerhouse idol” nickname.

Before the recording of the April 9 broadcast of “M! Countdown,” the girl group sat down with media outlet Star News for an interview.

They said, “The nickname is burdensome, but it also makes us happy.” They commented, “There are moments when it seems very pressuring. But it drives us to try harder and always be ready, as we can’t mess up. We’re just thankful that we are considered that way and we’re happy with the title.”

The girl group is currently promoting their collaboration single with singer Esna, “AHH OOP!.”

“This is a brief special promotion. It’s short, but we are still giving it our all. We are planning on having an official comeback in May with a mini album.”

The girl group also hinted that their next mini album will be a different concept from their previous concepts. “We want to show a different side to us [through the album.] We’ve had a retro concept so far, so we have an oldies-vibe, but we are planning on doing something different.”
