MBLAQ has spread its wings, and it soon aims to fly to the heart of Asia.
Starting with its concert in Jakarta, Indonesia on June 30, MBLAQ plans to tour through Bangkok on July 7, Seoul from July 21-22, Osaka on July 26, Tokyo from July 30-31 and Taipei on August 18 with its six-city Asia tour BLAQ%.
The group has continued to grow since it made its debut in 2009, and plans to step up to a bigger stage and meet with more fans across Asia.
When we met the members at their practice room in Gangnam, they were busy practicing for their first ever exclusive overseas tour.
Although they seemed busy, they looked more excited than they had looked for any time in their career.

How do you feel about your upcoming concert?
Seung Ho: “I’m so nervous because it’s our first exclusive overseas concert. It’s happening thanks to the love sent us by so many people.”
Should we be looking forward to the concert? What is there to see?
Seung Ho: “A lot of the songs’ moods will change. There will also be a lot to see in individual performances. A lot of performances no one has ever seen before will be put onstage. It’ll be a special present. We’re preparing magic shows, dance and even piano performances.”
Lee Joon: “We plan to rearrange our original content. There will be dance and song. We plan to interpret [our songs] in a new way.”
What does your agency’s representative singer, Rain, say about the concert?
Seung Ho: “He always tells us that we should practice hard but forget all about it and just enjoy when we’re onstage. He also told us to pour all our efforts into practice, and that when we’re so exhausted we feel like we’re going to die after that we should start laughing."
"He said that’ll help us touch our fans’ hearts more. That’s what he said, but it’s hard. If you’re exhausted, you’re just exhausted; you can’t laugh. That’s why [Rain is] so great.”

K-pop group MBLAQ
By Kwaak Je-yup
It is easy to be cynical about K-pop's influence unless you have seen it in action. The story of five-member boy band MBLAQ is testament to this phenomenon.
Thanks to the power of YouTube, curious music fans in countries such as Brazil and Italy can hear the music and see the performances. Soon they make their own online bulletin boards to discuss what they have seen. They may even try to learn Korean to understand the lyrics and even put up subtitles for others. They can quickly master the choreography and participate in so-called cover dance competitions.
When MBLAQ visited Sao Paulo last year to preside over such an event, thousands of fans turned up at the airport in the wee hours, just for an opportunity to see their idols up close. Their hotel had to be barricaded by police for crowd control.
The five 20-somethings ― Cheon Dung, G.O, Lee Joon, Mir and Seungho ― all admitted to The Korea Times that they and their agency J. Tune Camp were astounded by this happening, which repeated itself in other regions around the world. (In a sparsely-populated area of Peru, members G.O. and Mir encountered a little girl, who unexpectedly serenaded them with one of their hits.)
Though they made their debut with the formidable Rain, one of Korea's biggest solo pop stars and heartthrobs, who groomed them for stardom and still serves as a mentor, they have certainly earned their success; their rise to stardom was only possible by countless hours of hard work and an enormous passion for music. They are, of course, talented: G.O. and Seungho have some of the idol factory's best vocal pipes, and Lee Joon, a formally trained dancer, is one step ahead of virtually everyone.
With songwriting and music-making in the works, MBLAQ only sees its star rising in the future ― and whose place is it to disagree?
