Album Concept[]
"What if.... MMM is not MMM?"
We deserve to be blessed because we are real, wherever and in whatever form we are in our lives. Acknowledging and respecting each other's differences, and passing on and sharing that knowledge with others — that is the inherent meaning of "BLACK", which is "Bless Life And Carry Knowledge".[1]
Aside from "BLACK", the album's other main concept is MAMAMOO's multiverse, aka the "MMM Multiverse". This multiverse concept is part of the reality in BLACK's "4M (MMMM)" series, where the members have unique lives in four different universes and explore what the members could've become if they weren't MAMAMOO:[2]
- In the first universe, the MAMAMOO members are still themselves as idols.
- In the second universe, Solar is a princess, Moon Byul is a music video director, Whee In is an environmentalist, and Hwa Sa is a mother.
- In the third universe, Solar is a boxer, Moon Byul is a choreographer, Whee In is a painter, and Hwa Sa is a musical actor.
- In the fourth and last universe, Solar is a rockstar, Moon Byul is an entertainment CEO, Whee In is an indie artist, and Hwa Sa is a president.
All of the album's concept photos and videos were released at 11:11 PM. 1111 represents four parallel worlds, having the numerological meaning of "a coincidence with a reason" or a "portal" that can move to a new dimension. "Destiny", the album's first track, tells that the MAMAMOO members are destined to meet in any world and life.[3]
Trivia[]
- MAMAMOO first recorded and performed "Destiny" during their appearance on Queendom.
- CEO Moon Byul's entertainment company is called "Wolseong World Entertainment" (월성 월드 엔터테인먼트).[4][5]
