## Trivia

Template:Citations needed

* Fans of the group are called "MooMoos". In Korean, "Moo (무)" means "radish" so fans are also referred to as such sometimes. Because of this, fans would bring radishes to their concert. It was announced later that the group's official lightstick is in the shape of a radish.
* It was revealed that MAMAMOO would sometimes wear stage outfits based on designs made by their fans.
* A trademark of nearly every MAMAMOO live performance is them changing up some part as a gimmick.
* They have nicknames such as Beaglemoo and 흥마무 (Heung-mamoo) because of their energetic and live personality.
* The group has an average height of 160 cm. (5'2"), with all of the members just having a 1 cm difference, because of that, the members are always comparing themselves by their height.
