MANILA — After almost 10 years of being a part of K-pop girl group Mamamoo, Whee In shines in her "own color" as she embarked on her first solo world tour.

The South Korean singer said one of the main differences of touring solo from touring as a group was the overall vibe of the tour sets.

"The difference would be if I am alone, I would have my own color. I have my own vibes. But with Mamamoo, of course each of the four of us have different personalities, different vibes. So that creates a different vibe all throughout [the tour]," Whee In told members of the press on Friday.

She added that the pressure of filling an arena with fans also became "a lot heavier and burdensome" as a solo artist.

"Compared to when I was [touring] with [Mamamoo], [filling an arena with fans] is a lot heavier and burdensome on my end. But then again, I've received so much cheers and love from the fans, so I think I can do well because of that," she said.

And although the bigger responsibilities of having a solo career dawned on her early on in the tour, this led her to discover something new about herself as a singer, even though she had already been in the industry for almost a decade.

"I think I'm learning my control because when we were touring as a group, if there's something we miss, then each of the members can just help each other out. But I'm alone right now so I'm all by myself. I talk to myself sometimes on what to do, like how to do things better. So I believe I'm working on my control," Whee In said.

When asked on what's next after her solo tour, the South Korean singer said she would be using all the love and passion she received and "continue producing very good music in the future" and that she "always wants to be consistent with that."

FIRST TIME IN PH AS A SOLO ARTIST

The last time Whee In was in the country was last February 2023 for Mamamoo's "My Con". Due to the enthusiasm her group received at the Araneta Coliseum, she said included the Philippines in the Southeast Asian leg of her solo tour.

"It was because of the fans' love, and you guys were all telling me that you're always waiting for me. That's why I included the Philippines in my tour. For the fans to make [my solo concert] memorable, just their presence alone is already what makes it memorable," she said.

Whee In hopes her return to the Philippines will be different as she "was not able to enjoy a lot of food" during her group's last visit as they were all busy. She added that she wanted to try the local cuisine, "especially crispy pata."

Whee In will hold her Whee In The Mood [BEYOND] in Manila solo concert at the SM North Edsa Skydome on April 13, 2024. It was produced by L-Square Productions, Inc.
