He reflected on the successes of Mamamoo's participation on Queendom and their second Korean studio album Reality in Black and confirmed that the members would begin to focus on solo projects, with each member hoping to showcase their individualities that they had previously shown in the "Four Seasons, Four Colors" project series.[110][111] Moonbyul became the first member to release a solo project in 2020, releasing her debut EP Dark Side of the Moon on February 14.[112] On April 23, Solar released her debut single "Spit It Out" and its accompanying single album.[113] Following the single's debut at number 12 (and subsequent peak at number six), Mamamoo became the second Korean group in which every member had a solo song chart on the Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart.[114]

The full EP, titled Travel, and its second single, "Aya", were released on November 3.[122][123] Travel received mixed receptions for its lack of cohesion,[124] and it peaked at number two on the Gaon Album Chart.[125] The EP broke the group's personal sales records, selling a reported 100,000 copies in its first day and over 128,000 copies in its first week,[126] and additionally topped iTunes charts in 29 countries.[127] Described as a "180-degree flip" from the retro-pop style of "Dingga," the second single from Travel, "Aya," was described by critics as being "alluring" and "captivating"[128] and peaked within the top 40 of the Gaon Digital Chart.[129]

On January 22, 2021, RBW announced that Solar and Moonbyul had renewed their contracts with their agency, while Wheein and Hwasa were still currently discussing contract renewals.[130] On March 30, Hwasa officially renewed her contract with RBW, with Wheein's contract remaining under discussion.

The project consists of a new album release in June, a summer concert, and a documentary.[136] On May 18, the group announced on their social media that their eleventh EP, WAW, would be released on June 2, along with the lead single "Where Are We Now."[137] WAW topped iTunes albums charts in 21 countries worldwide, and it sold over 40,000 domestic copies in its first day of release, according to the Hanteo chart.[138]

On June 11, 2021, RBW announced that Wheein would be leaving the company since she has chosen not to renew her solo contract with the agency, but she signed a second contract extension to remain as a member of Mamamoo until December 2023.[139] Therefore, making RBW responsible for her activities in the group, but no longer involved in her solo endeavors.[140]

Controversy[]

Following the first show of their March 2017 concert in Seoul, Mamamoo received criticism for performing in blackface when, as part of the concert, they played a video containing the members impersonating Bruno Mars while wearing darker makeup, meant to recreate a snippet of the music video for Mars' "Uptown Funk" (2014).[144] The clip was cut from following concert dates and multiple apologies were promptly issued, including one directly from the members, stating that they were "extremely ignorant of blackface and did not understand the implications of our actions. We will be taking time to understand more about our international fans to ensure this never happens again."[145][146]
