Momoland

In June 2016, Mnet's survival program Finding Momoland began, a reality show that was created by Duble Kick Entertainment where a group of seven members were selected from ten contestants, and they prepared their debut. The Final Mission could not collect 3,000 spectators, and the official debut was delayed.{{cite news|work=Naver|url=http://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=144&aid=0000451695|title=Mnet's Survival Program "Finding Momoland" debut delayed for Final Mission Failure|date=September 17, 2016|language=ko|access-date=February 22, 2018|archive-date=November 12, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191112120021/https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=144&aid=0000451695|url-status=live}} On October 26, 2016, the group was appointed as ambassadors for the International Relief Development NGO Plan Korea.

In the summer of 2018 the group was the subject of a 5 part television miniseries called "Momoland in Saipan", a reality show which chronicled their music video production in the heart of the Northern Marians Islands in the south pacific; the project was supported by the Marianas Visitors Authority and aired in Korea on KBS World TV, and worldwide on Apple TV.{{cite web|url=https://www.saipantribune.com/index.php/momoland-video-setsaipan/|website=Siapan Tribune|date=22 May 2018|location=Saipan|access-date=6 May 2025|title=Momoland video set on Saipan|last=Bautista Esmores|first=Kimberly }}{{cite episode |last=Soo-jin |first=Hong |date=September 2018 |title=Dancing in the Sand |url=https://www.kocowa.com/en_us/media/376846/momolands-saipan-land-episode-1 |location=Saipan |series=Momoland's Saipan|language=Korean|minutes=45|network=KBS World TV|access-date=6 May 2025}}In October the group was the subject of another reality television show, Lepiej późno niż wcale, a Polish reality-travel show, in which the members trained the show contestants in how to sing and dance like music stars.{{cite episode |date=6 October 2018 |title=Better Late Than Never |url=https://www.koreaboo.com/stories/momoland-polish-reality-show/ |location=Warsaw |series=Lepiej późno niż wcale|language=Polish|minutes=45|network=Polsat channel|access-date=8 May 2025}}

Momoland has enhanced several new musical products and primarily distributes them through digital media in many languages. Unlike groups in North America and Europe, which typically release just one version MTV style music promotional video for their major releases, Momoland has released several, each one with a special theme or variation. The official video of their biggest hit, "BAAM", opens with a Momoland Jet flying around the world, featuring the band members in a traditional national dress around the world, varying quickly from scene to scene; Ahin is seen wearing a Japanese Kimono, court clothes of the Egyptian Ptolemaic Kingdom, formal wear from the Royal French Court of Louis XIV, traditional Chinese dress, and modern clothes.{{YouTube|txWmd7QKFe8}} Another version of the video is a dance practice in which the group is wearing casual clothes, with Ahin in shorts and sneakers, rehearsing but with the choreography fully developed and a professional yet intimate feel.{{YouTube|r6q3SkBIdTI}} Another version of the BAAM music video features a nine-year-old dancer in the music video, Na Haeun (나하은), performing with high production values in a shopping mall, whom Ahin introduces in the opening. This type of video has no American or European counterpart.{{YouTube|MTpZWilqmNg}} Another Momoland music product is the dance tutorial music video, in which band members teach their dance moves and choreography specific to their new song. These tutorial music videos are released in multiple languages with one of the girl members explaining the steps in advance, in which the polyglot members like Ahin introduce the choreography in Korean, English, Mandarin, and other languages.{{Youtube|lUIQXMyqPqs}}{{cite web|website=Vice News|location=Brooklyn|date=January 26, 2022| title=22 reasons K-pop will rule in 2022|access-date=June 7, 2022|last=Glasby|first=Taylor|url=https://i-d.co/article/k-pop-in-2022/}} The impact of having multiple music videos for each song has been complemented by the planned use of colors in their costumes to complement the themes in their sound recordings, and in their performances generally.{{cite magazine|magazine=Cosmopolitan|location=Philippines|last=Singson|first=Ysa|title=MOMOLAND Is In Manila And We Just Met Them!|date=17 August 2018|access-date=30 July 2022|url=https://www.cosmo.ph/entertainment/momoland-philippines-2018-a1085-a704-20180817}}

Momoland helped pioneer the "Dance Cover". Rerecording a musical composition by a new artist is called a "cover", kpop as a genre uses much more choreography than western versions of pop music; specific choriography is associated with almost every kpop release. Momoland did an early dance cover of a mash-up of songs by the 1990s kpop boy band called H.O.T. The music video imposed the mash-up of four H.O.T. recordings over a synchronized Momoland music video mashup with clips from these catalog tracks: Warrior's Descendant, Candy, We Are the Future, and Hope. They matched the original H.O.T. choreography closely, as well as matching the color of the costumes worn by H.O.T. in their original promotional videos.{{Youtube|GMsc7wGghy8}}{{Youtube|dfN1UHjrzNg}}{{Youtube|R1vswgN1e8}}

Momoland experienced a delayed growth in international popularity, primarily through TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Youtube; the group members most responsible for this are Nancy Jewel McDonie and Ahin.{{cite magazine|magazine=GQ|first=Jorge|last=Perez|date=1 March 2022|location=Mexico|access-date=6 August 2022|title=Momoland: una charla sobre unir el k-pop y la música latina gracias a TikTok|url=https://www.gq.com.mx/entretenimiento/articulo/momoland-entrevista-sobre-unir-el-k-pop-y-la-musica-latina-gracias-a-tiktok}} As Instagram short form vertical videos began matching up against newer algorithms, more and more international fans become exposed to and identify with Nancy; it is not just that she is an English speaker, but she actually is American and bears an Irish surname like so many fans in Australia, North America, and Europe.{{cite web|website=Berita Selman|date=10 August 2022|access-date=12 August 2022|title=Nancy Momoland, Artis Korea Selatan yang Pengagumnya Banyak|location=Indonesia|url=https://beritasleman.pikiran-rakyat.com/entertainment/pr-845242018/profil-lengkap-nancy-momoland-artis-korea-selatan-yang-pengagumnya-banyak}}{{cite web|website=She The People|url=https://www.shethepeople.tv/artists/who-is-nancy-momoland-girl-band-k-pop/|date=12 January 2021|access-date=29 July 2022|last=Priya|first=Ratan|location=India|title=Who Is Nancy Jewel McDonie?}}{{cite news|newspaper=Straits Times|location=Singapore|date=28 December 2021|access-date=12 August 2022|first=Lim|last=Ruey Yam|title=Blackpink's Lisa is world's most beautiful face, Myanmar's Paing Takhon is most handsome|url=https://www.straitstimes.com/life/blackpinks-lisa-is-worlds-most-beautiful-face-myanmars-paing-takhon-is-most-handsome}} As fans became more exposed to Nancy, combined with Ahin's ability to speak fluently to half the planet, Momoland started getting more and more international fans, from a much broader age range than a normal Kpop band would. The authenticity brought by Nancy and Ahin has increased the popularity of K-Pop generally with a much broader audience, and this synergy has increased the exposure of other group mates like JooE.{{cite magazine | magazine=Diggit Magazine|location=Tilburg, Nederland|title=How the KPop Community Uses Youtube algorithm to Its Benefit | url=https://www.diggitmagazine.com/articles/kpop-community-youtube-algorithm }} This international exposure has built up slowly but has accelerated beginning in 2021 and 2022, years in which the pandemic years have stunted the group's creative output. While most KPop bands experience a flurry of creativity in their early years and fade when the members reach their late twenties, the broader, authentic international exposure that Nancy and Ahin have brought could be used to help the group continue to reinvent themselves in ways that other KPop bands cannot.{{cite web | website=Forbes | title=K-Pop Girl Group Momoland Signs With ICM Partners For Worldwide Representation | url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/tamarherman/2020/06/22/k-pop-girl-group-momoland-signs-with-icm-partners-for-worldwide-representation/?sh=2b2779ce27d6 | last=Herman|first=Tamar| date=22 June 2020|access-date=26 July 2022}}
