Former MAMAMOO Member Wheein Expresses Interest in New Agency on 'The Seasons - Lee Young-ji's Rainbow'

On February 14, 2025, former MAMAMOO member Wheein made an appearance on KBS2TV's 'The Seasons - Lee Young-ji's Rainbow', where she openly discussed her current status in the music industry. Introduced by Lee Young-ji as a 'chameleon of the music scene', Wheein revealed that she is currently without an agency, stating, 'The good thing is the financial aspect, ALL MY MONEY.' This light-hearted comment drew laughter from Lee Young-ji, who remarked that Wheein seemed a bit materialistic.

Wheein shared that she is in a situation where she must rely solely on her own efforts, even renting her own vehicle due to a lack of support. When asked what kind of company she is looking for in the free agency market, Wheein expressed a desire for a place that respects work-life balance, emphasizing the importance of taking breaks for mental health, something she previously struggled with.

Lee Young-ji, intrigued by Wheein's versatility, asked how far her musical capabilities extend. Wheein humbly responded that she is skilled in R&B and occasionally raps, though she doesn't consider herself at a professional level. She also mentioned her experience with band music.

In a playful moment, Lee Young-ji noted that Wheein had prepared a special medley showcasing her talents, which impressed everyone present. Lee Young-ji commented on Wheein's ability to change her vocal tone multiple times in a short span, calling it remarkable and suggesting that Wheein could become a highly sought-after free agent in the industry.

This discussion comes after Wheein and fellow MAMAMOO member Hwasa both faced contract renewal issues, leaving fans disappointed in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
