The group rose to prominence in 2018 with the single "Bboom Bboom" off their third EP ''Great!''. The song was certified platinum by the Gaon Digital Chart (South Korea's equivalent of Billboard) and was #4 on its year-end best-charting list. However, in February 2019, Daisy and Taeha went on hiatus for [[https://www.koreaboo.com/news/momoland-comeback-daisy-taeha-absence/ "health and personal reasons"]]. In November, Yeonwoo and Taeha left the group, Yeonwoo to become an actress (signing with 9ato Entertainment) and Taeha to become a solo singer (signing with Inter B.D Entertainment).

Around the same time, Daisy [[https://www.soompi.com/article/1375582wpp/momolands-daisy-says-finding-momoland-was-rigged released]] several [[https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2020/02/732_281634.html statements]] claiming that MLD Entertainment had been blocking her from returning to activities and insinuating that ''Finding Momoland'' was rigged. Daisy's mother also made [[https://www.allkpop.com/article/2019/10/fans-worried-about-momolands-daisy-after-her-mothers-social-media-posts ambiguous posts to Instagram]] insinuating that Daisy had been bullied by the other members, although she later deleted her account. The company [[https://www.soompi.com/article/1375774wpp/momolands-agency-refutes-daisys-claims-regarding-their-conflict refuted all claims]], and after various back-and-forths and rumors, it was confirmed in May 2020 that Daisy was no longer a member of the group.

In July 2020, Yeonwoo [[https://www.soompi.com/article/1410833wpp/former-momoland-member-yeonwoo-opens-up-to-fans-about-her-career-change-peoples-reactions wrote a post]] that seemed to hint that she had been forced to leave the group, but shortly after issued a clarification post denying that she had meant anything by it and apologized for "unnecessarily causing concern". In March 2021, rumors spread that she had in fact been bullied or forced out of the group, following her [[https://pann-choa.blogspot.com/2021/03/enter-talk-yeonwoo-released-post-on-ig.html sharing a photo on Instagram]] of a page of a book that read "[subject] hated me and also held such a grudge against me".

In October 2021, MLD Entertainment got into another issue over [[https://www.soompi.com/article/1492969wpp/mld-entertainment-ordered-by-court-to-pay-former-momoland-member-daisy-unpaid-earnings-agency-files-appeal unpaid earnings to Daisy]], and was ordered by a court to pay her the equivalent of tens of thousands of USD. However, the company filed an appeal, and as of 2023 the legal battle has not been resolved.

Despite these controversies, Momoland chugged along on the musical front, releasing one studio album, six [=EPs=] and three [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_(music)#In_South_Korea single albums]] in seven years, and also winning several awards. However, the remaining members' contracts with MLD Entertainment expired in 2023, and the group [[https://www.soompi.com/article/1566720wpp/momoland-officially-announces-disbandment announced their disbandment]] on February 14 2023.

MOMOLAND was a [[KoreanPopMusic South Korean]] GirlGroup formed by Dublekick Company (later renamed MLD Entertainment). The members were chosen through the [[RealityShow talent competition show]] ''Finding Momoland'' and debuted in 2016 as a group of seven -- Hyebin, Yeonwoo, Jane, Nayun, [=JooE=], Ahin, and Nancy -- with the extended play 'Welcome to MOMOLAND'. In 2017, Daisy (another contestant of ''Finding Momoland'') and Taeha (a contestant of ''Series/Produce101'') were added to the group. Momoland's music was mostly in the [[TeenPop teen-]] and dance-pop styles, with lots of ElectronicMusic influence and mixed vocals.

The group rose to prominence in 2018 with the single "Bboom Bboom" off their third EP ''Great!''. The song was certified platinum by the Gaon/Circle Digital Chart (South Korea's equivalent of Billboard) and was #4 on its year-end best-charting list. However, in February 2019, Daisy and Taeha went on hiatus for [[https://www.koreaboo.com/news/momoland-comeback-daisy-taeha-absence/ "health and personal reasons"]]. In November, Yeonwoo and Taeha left the group, Yeonwoo to become an actress (signing with 9ato Entertainment) and Taeha to become a solo singer (signing with Inter B.D Entertainment).

At the same time, Daisy [[https://www.soompi.com/article/1375582wpp/momolands-daisy-says-finding-momoland-was-rigged released]] several [[https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2020/02/732_281634.html statements]] claiming that MLD Entertainment had been blocking her from returning to activities and insinuating that ''Finding Momoland'' was rigged.
