Spreading the G.O.O.D. Luv - An MBLAQ Pimp Post

A/N: I blame

filmsession for this post, because she was like:"Oh, I kind of want to get into MBLAQ, I wish there was a pimp post or something to get to know them better." and then I went:"THEY ARE SO AMAZING WATCH ART OF SEDUCTION NOW AND WHY HAVEN'T YOU CHECKED THEM OUT YET111, oh wait, OH OKAY MIGHT AS WELL DO THE PIMP POST MYSELF."

And the rest, as they say, is history.

☆ ☆ The Group ☆ ☆

You're probably asking yourself:"Who the hell is MBLAQ?" In a nutshell, MBLAQ (엠블랙) are a boyband from South Korea, created by none other than singer Rain under his label J.Tune Entertainment. It consists of five members: Seung Ho (Leader), G.O., Joon, Cheun Doong (Thunder) and Mir (the maknae).

The group's name is (admittedly) rather...interesting and is actually an acronym that stands for "Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality". Yeah, I know, those Koreans and the lulzy names they come up with, huh? Anyway.

The public interest for the band was rather high but details about the members were kept under wraps. It was only about three weeks before their debut when J.Tune Ent. revealed more details about the members, and they chose a rather unconvential way of doing so. It was through a photo spread in the October issue of "NYLON Magazine." where people were able to get a first Look at all five members. However, one of the current members was not featured in that spread: Thunder. He joined the group last and took the place of Kim Sing Bae, who left the group at the very last minute due to "personal reasons." (Read: he probably left because of contract issues.)

MBLAQ debuted on October 9, 2009 at Rain's "Legend of Rainism" concert, where they performed two songs from their mini-album and a solo song. On October 14, 2009 the group released their debut mini-album, "Just BLAQ", which topped various on-line and off-line music charts in South Korea.
