MAMAMOO Solar shared one of her experiences in Cebu, Philippines where she mentioned about being culture-shocked while travelling. She said, for a non-local like her, she was surely stunned. This is what she revealed in one of the group's Vlive a couple of years ago.

First, she talks about local transportation in the Philippines called a 'jeepney' that she pictured out as an open airbus. She even added that the vehicle is a unique culture of the neighboring country.

She admitted that it was her first time to ride one and she has no idea of how much one should pay for the fare. To solve her dilemma, she had to look for a foreign person who may help her with it. Gladly, a westerner helped her.

And to her amazement, this good samaritan speaks fluently in Tagalog (one of the country's vernacular). She then knew that the man lived there for quite some time, allowing him to speak the Filipino language.

While the other girls were busy enjoying their food, Mamamoo's Solar continued her story.

She said, "Just as the jeepney started moving forward, two kids jumped on the back of the vehicle!"

"They were clinging on the bars outside!" She added even if the vehicle was moving.

She confessed that she couldn't resist staring at the two since it was an unfamiliar sight for her. She hasn't seen something like that before. Then, another revelation surprised the girls.

"They were facing each other then all of a sudden, one kid started beatboxing," she recounted, making her members laugh in amazement and disbelief.

Solar admitted that she was impressed with such talent, although she did not understand as the kid was rapping in Filipino. She even narrated to her co-members that these youngsters are a common scene among jeepneys and it brought a lively experience to here while in the Philippines.

She added that it is a cool and unique culture for a foreign country, and her Filipino fans adore her for that.
