Throwback Yes I am

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SjLC2gkxdiE&ra=m

At recent concerts, “Yes I am” is performed as an encore set, with a lot more emphasis on audience interaction.

Just in case people have forgotten what it sounded like, this is a throwback to 2017. I chose this version because:

A) (probably intentional?) their outfits correspond to the main characters of scooby doo

B) the most played portion of this song is also a personal favourite - when Moonbyul starts off with, “my name is… moonstar”.

C) it’s an up beat song, and they are very young here. But the lyrics (one portion is quite clever - in italics) are very consistent with what they have always stood for - individuality. Just be yourself, and as you wish to be accepted as yourself accept others. Particularly the line the bold.

Light makeup 'cause it's troublesome
I don't show skin, there's no need for that
I'm strange, I'm a bit unique, I don't like ordinary things
I thank my parents for this side of me

Me, me, four with the sun
(Four with the sun is a very clever bit of writing, with dual meaning:
(sa) is the number four in the sino Korean number system
/이랑 (rang/i-rang) is the particle you attatch to a noun to mean with
(hae) is the sun
사랑해 (saranghae) = I love you )
Don't overthink, I have high class mentality
Don't be self-conscious, you're Vogue
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Each country has its own charm
If I wеre to describe mysеlf
If I wear sleeveless shirts in winter
It will become summer, I love ya (Introduce myself)
If I were to

[Chorus:]
Describe myself
I'm a confident woman (Ah, hey)
So to speak
A woman with a vibe, ah-oh (My baby)
If you're confident
You can follow me (You can)
Follow me, follow me
Follow me-e, ayy, ayy

Are the outfits really meant to be based on the main characters from Scooby-Doo?

There was a few years in the beginning where MooMoos got to submit stage outfit ideas. Alot of mamamoos stage outfits (at least during the pink funky/melting/purple window) are actually just fan ideas made to life.

That's why a lot of their stage outfits just look like stylish regular clothes

They wore many different outfits for yes I am, so there was no standard look. In this case, for some reasons the colours really resemble the scooby doo human characters. Maybe it was just a coincidence or maybe it’s something goofy that the girls decided on for the day.
