You picked up that they were getting tired of helping him in their last set of reactions, but missed that in the end bit they are actually celebrating that the new group has his attention now. I also see them as more playing with the pretty bauble than really competing for his affection. The lyrics focus more on what beautiful man he is rather any other trait. All of their early videos have a thread of flipping the script and making the woman the aggressor. Wheein eating is a thing in several of the early videos. Always for comedic effect. During performances, in the pause while she's eating in the MV, they insert different adlibs so each vid of a performance is different. There is a vid out there that collects all the adlibs. The guy is a member of Vromance another RBW group. One other behind the scenes, Solar actually fell into the pool during the filming. There is a variety show whose episodes are Mamamoo and Gfriend interacting or compare and contrast. In one episode they try to recreate a famous vid of each other. Mamamoo does ok but they are not the kind of precision dancers that Gfriend are. On the other hand Gfriend absolutely cannot handle the really high heels Mamamoo is wearing in the opening sequence.

something to keep in mind is that you dont have to say solar's name any differently than you would solar it in any other english sentence. a lot of people think that because her korean stage name is solla they should pronounce solar so it sounds similar, just with the r at the end. but as solar herself said in an interview, the standard english pronunciation is just fine. also, if you havent watched the video/listened to their song "ahh oop" i would highly recommend it. a lot of their debut era songs have the swing/jazz kind of sound to it. esna is the person who wrote/composed those songs and ahh oop was a song where esna herself was a part of the song. during the music show promotion of the song, rbw did esna dirty and took her out of the stage performances without even telling her beforehand, she actually showed up to the show and only found out backstage when her name wasnt listed on the door along with mamamoo.

About your side rant regarding who members pursue "in character" in MV's...there IS a fantasy being preserved here, _but not the one you think._ It's tied in to the near-absolute ban on real-life dating Korean production companies enforce. The members are supposed to be kept free of visible connection in order to keep them "available" in the fan's mind for whatever fantasy relationship the fan conjures. If you think this sounds like a recipie for creating stalkers, you're right. But hey, Korean stalkers have money and spend it on company products, so it's all good. The Koreans even have a word for it, _sasaeng_ fans. Koreans adopted "stan" as a description for _regular_ fans, you know, from the Eminem song? They consider that level of devotion admirable...until a disaster or near-disaster happens, like a guy literally trying to kidnap Girl's Generation's Taeyeon off stage in the middle of a performance! A music video story set-up like this, all the members chasing one guy? You know from the outset it isn't going to work, and things will immediately go back to status quo.

great reaction, yeah at the end they are happy they see the guy with other girls because now those girls because now he will put those girls to work. Since all he did was make mamamoo do his work for him.

As a reminder, you're the best if you watch MMM MVs on their channel rather than Stone Music Entertainment's channel. If you want subtitles with your moo-juice that's the only way to go. Prior to 2018 almost none of the alt MVs on channels like Stone Music are subtitled. I never got side tracked on your one guy tangent. I dunno about other gg's but with Mamamoo I always feel that the MV is about their experience & emotions and the guy is just Generic Male and irrelevant as an individual. You're the Best was their first #1 hit and it was the first song that earned them wins on the tv music shows. The lyrics were co-written by Solar, Moonbyul, and RBW's co-CEO Kim Dohoon, who also co-wrote the music and did the arrangement. KDH had his hand in most of Mamamoo's retro songs.
