What happened in the Mamamoo Blackface controversy?
The girl group Mamamoo faced a huge backlash from her fans and the global audience because of the blackface controversy. The controversy was triggered during their concert in Seoul on March 3, 2022. A parody clip of the four members of the band aired at the concert in which they performed Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk”. In the clip, the quartet appeared wearing black paint on their faces to imitate the look of the dark-skinned celebrities. This made the audience disappointed and angry with the act of Mamamoo’s members. Later, the group realized their mistake and Hwasa released a post on their Facebook page apologizing for the same.
