MBLAQ sings “I Don’t Know” on Music Bank

After completing their title track promotions with “Mona Lisa“, MBLAQ quickly followed up with the more mellow “I Don’t Know”!

Putting aside their usual ‘Chic Idol’ image, “I Don’t Know” captures more of their “perfect boyfriend” personalities as they sing about the stress and worries they must face when trying to understand what their girlfriends are thinking.

MBLAQ’s Seungho mentioned, “Every time people ask what the follow-up song for ‘Mona Lisa’ is, we say ‘I Don’t Know’ and they look at us oddly. ‘I Don’t Know’ is a song which battled ‘Mona Lisa’ until the end for the title song position. You can experience a different MBLAQ charm with this song.”

MBLAQ makes a “Mona Lisa” comeback on Music Core

Having released their their 3rd mini-album “Mona Lisa” earlier this week, the MBLAQ boys begun their comeback promotions on today’s MBC Music Core.

Their title song “Mona Lisa” is a Spanish electronic dance track that was produced by Ji In, Wontag, and Rado – the head producers of MBLAQ’s entire comeback album.

Instead of using synth instruments, the song is filled with analog instruments to differentiate itself from the styles MBLAQ previously performed. Living up to their nickname of being ‘chic idols’, the song’s characteristic is its chic charm.

The lyrics itself compares an unattainable woman’s facial expression to the Mona Lisa and expresses one man’s passionate desire for her love.

MBLAQ on their fans, their individual goals, and how they resolve conflicts

For the second half of their TV Report interview, MBLAQ answered questions concerning their status as idols. As grateful as they are for fans and their support, the group spoke honestly about the difficulties they face because of their fans as well.

Mir said, “Our fans do everything they can for us. We’re very thankful for them and for anybody who even likes us at all.” He made sure to add, “But as grateful as we are, we hope that nobody will go to extremes like skipping school or waiting in the snow or rain because of us anymore.”

Lee Joon agreed, “There are fans who follow me around even when I’m out for personal business. They stop following me if I ask them to, but I feel sorry if I have to ask all the time.”

Thunder said, “It seems like there’s a separate family fandom for me and my sister, Sandara of 2NE1. We’re very thankful of course, but there are some fans who follow my mother and other sister around even though they aren’t celebrities.”

- “We’ll stay up all night to resolve any issues we have with each other.”

Conflicts are inevitable, but MBLAQ shared that their method of resolving issues with each other is simply to talk it out.

Leader Seungho noted, “We’re all adults and we have similar music styles so we don’t fight with each other often. When the occasional disagreement comes up, we talk about it and make sure to listen to the other person’s opinion. That’s how we work things out. But like I said, we don’t fight often. I could probably count all of the arguments we had on one hand alone. If we don’t have time in our schedules to talk about an issue during the day, we’d probably stay up all night in order to put it to rest.”

- “MBLAQ, a group with many different colors.”

MBLAQ doesn’t have as many solo activities as other idols these days. Lee Joon has taken steps as an actor, and G.O is now making appearances on KBS 2TV’s ‘Immortal Song 2‘; however, the other members are finally ready to make individual show appearances now as well.

“I wanted to go on variety shows too,” Seungho said. “I’m ready any time if anybody wants me on their show.” Although he’s currently taken some time off school, he’s enrolled as a film/arts major and so fans have been hoping for his debut as an actor. Unfortunately, he stated, “I don’t have any plans to act yet. I don’t think it’d be too late even if I went into acting after I hit my thirties, after MBLAQ has become successful.”

G.O has been receiving praise lately for his vocal abilities through ‘Immortal Song 2.’ He said, “I’m relieved that I was able to put my name out there through the show. Even though it’s been two years since MBLAQ’s debut, nobody recognized me as the main vocalist.”

Lee Joon demonstrated his acting potential through ‘Ninja Assassin‘ and ‘Jungle Fish 2‘, but humbly stated, “I still have a long ways to go in order to achieve perfection. I think I need to study and practice acting a lot more, but for now I want to focus on MBLAQ.”

-”We want to become a multi-talented group.”

Thunder and G.O are currently both writing and composing. Thunder said that he wants to release a solo album while emphasizing that he definitely still loves being in the group. “I want a solo album so that I can show my true music tastes, which differs slightly from that of MBLAQ. After “Mona Lisa” promotions, you never know. My self-composed tracks might erupt out of nowhere.” He also stated that he dreams of not only of releasing a solo album, but of trying out acting as well. It’s said that he decided upon his dream of being an entertainer after hearing Rain’s song, “It’s Raining“.

Lastly, Mir showed his affection for rapping with, “Although I wanted to participate in making the raps for this album, DOK2 is actually the one who wrote them all. He’s very talented so I was able to learn a lot from him while watching him work.” Mir also chose the underground rapper as his role model.

MBLAQ takes over Japan’s ‘chaku uta’ chart + single jacket covers and tracklist revealed

The powerful, bad boy aura of idol group MBLAQ is quickly enveloping Japan, as G.O, Seung Ho, Lee Joon, Thunder, and Mir prepare to make their mark in one of the world’s largest music industries with their debut on May 4th.


The group is already well on their way to a promising debut. After releasing their title track, “Your Luv“, in ‘chaku uta’ form on April 19th, MBLAQ propelled themselves to the #1 spot in just a few hours. (The ‘chaku uta’, for those of you who aren’t familiar with it, are songs you can download through your cell phone; consequently, there’s a chart that records the number of downloads for each new release, much like the ‘Oricon‘ chart.)

Their coupling tracks, “Into the light” and “Daijoubu“, have also been released in ‘chaku uta’ form.

“Your Luv” will be released in 3 different versions: ‘A-type’, ‘B-type’, and ‘C-type’.

‘A-type’ will feature a DVD with the PV for “Your Luv”, a 12-page booklet, a slipcase, and a chance to win a ticket to an upcoming event for the single. ‘B-type’ will hold the same contents, except the DVD will feature a special off-shot called “MBLAQ in Japan”. Finally, the ‘C-type’ will not feature a DVD, but a jacket underneath that will feature one of six random photos.

It’s MBLAQ “Again” on Music Bank

Having just released their repackaged album, “BLAQ Style – 3D Edition“, the MBLAQ boys kicked off a new wave of promotions on this week’s KBS’s Music Bank.

Their follow-up track, “Again“, is a mashup between electronica, hip hop, and R&B, which features a strong, synthetic melody with a fast and impressive beat, allowing the members to break away from their past sensual images from their “Cry” and “Stay” performances to showcase their stronger and more masculine sides.


Fortunately for fans, Mir made his return to the stage after temporarily resting from his herniated disk injury earlier in the month. With the group back on their feet as the dynamic five once more, fans can now sigh in relief and enjoy MBLAQ’s powerful and synchronized choreography for their new song.

Check out their performance down below!
