The queens of quirky K-pop are back. After two years away from the spotlight—and with rumors swirling of quiet disbandment—MOMOLAND has officially reunited as a full six-member group under a new agency, just ahead of their 10th debut anniversary in 2026.
But before this fresh start, let’s rewind. Because MOMOLAND’s journey isn’t just about catchy songs. It’s a story of explosive fame, fan devotion, resilience, and what it really means to survive in the ever-shifting K-pop world.
The Rise: From Underdogs to Viral Phenomenon
MOMOLAND debuted on November 10, 2016, through Mnet’s survival show Finding MOMOLAND, formed under MLD Entertainment. Their early releases like “Jjan! Koong! Kwang!” barely made a dent on the charts. But then, everything changed in 2018.
That’s when “BBoom BBoom” dropped—and K-pop went viral. The track’s addictive horn-driven beat and fun choreography exploded on social media. Overnight, MOMOLAND became global stars, and their signature playful image turned into a global calling card.
Quick Timeline Recap:
What Made MOMOLAND So Unique?
In an industry dominated by fierce, polished aesthetics, MOMOLAND carved out a space with their bright, fun-first attitude. Their concept wasn’t just quirky—it was refreshingly chaotic in the best way possible.
-
Their songs blended EDM, tropical house, and pop into energetic anthems.
-
The choreo? Easy to follow, wildly meme-able, and totally addictive.
-
They didn’t try to be perfect idols—they embraced being real, goofy, and relatable.
This made MOMOLAND not just famous, but beloved, especially among global fans who felt instantly connected to their energy.
Lineup Shifts, Struggles & Silent Years
MOMOLAND’s success story wasn’t without turbulence. Originally a seven-member team, they expanded to nine, then contracted again to six after Yeonwoo, Taeha, and Daisy left.
While member exits shook the fandom, MOMOLAND kept pushing forward. But after their last major release in 2022 and their exit from MLD Entertainment in early 2023, many assumed the group had quietly disbanded.
Until now.
