Solar Addresses Lip Lock Controversy

In a surprising twist to ongoing rumors, MAMAMOO's Solar has addressed the persistent speculation regarding her kiss with BTOB's Lee Changsub, a moment that has continued to intrigue fans nearly three years later.

Clarifying the Situation

During her recent appearance on SBS’s Two O’Clock Escape Cultwo Show, alongside fellow artist Roy Kim and special DJ Muzi, Solar tackled the gossip head-on which resurfaced after a humorous remark made on the variety show Amazing Saturday last August. Fans have been buzzing about the moment from the musical Mata Hari, where Solar and Changsub shared a kiss, and the rumor mill kicked into overdrive when one host jokingly claimed that Solar 'spat' after the kiss — a comment that quickly spread like wildfire online.

Solar's Explanation

Setting the record straight, Solar clarified that the kiss wasn't nearly as dramatic as people made it out to be. “Changsub and I are friends. We both felt awkward doing the kiss scene. We just got it done in 0.1 seconds, like a quick task,” she explained, dispelling the notion that the kiss left any lingering distaste.

The Context of Their Collaboration

The kiss may have become a sensational topic, but it’s important to consider the context of their collaboration. Solar took on the lead role in the musical Mata Hari, a significant milestone in her career that showcases her remarkable talent and versatility as a performer. The production tells the haunting life story of Margaretha Zelle, a woman who, after surviving a tumultuous marriage, reinvents herself as the infamous dancer Mata Hari. The plot darkens as she faces unjust accusations and ultimately pays the ultimate price during World War I — a narrative that resonates powerfully with themes of betrayal, resilience, and sacrifice.

Critical Acclaim and Future Endeavors

The portrayal of such a complex and iconic figure has not only garnered Solar critical acclaim but has also elevated her status in the competitive world of K-pop. As she continues to promote her latest single, “WANT,” the star demonstrates that her artistic journey is far from over.

Conclusion

In a world where misunderstandings can spiral into viral moments, Solar’s candid response is a refreshing reminder of the importance of clarity. With her talent and tenacity, she’s sure to continue captivating audiences, kiss rumors aside!
