MBLAQ

MBLAQ (Korean: 엠블랙, Japanese: エムブラック; an acronym for Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality) is a South Korean boy band created by South Korean singer Rain under J. Tune Camp. The group consists of Seungho, G.O, and Mir, and formerly Lee Joon and Thunder. The group debuted on October 15, 2009, at Rain's Legend of Rainism concert.

On October 14, 2009, the group released their debut single album, Just BLAQ, which topped various online and offline music charts in South Korea. The group then released their first extended play album Y on May 19, 2010, and on January 10, 2011, MBLAQ released their first studio album, BLAQ Style.

On December 16, 2014, it was announced Joon and Thunder had departed from the group and they will focus on individual activities for the time being.

On September 21, 2009, J. Tune Camp announced that its new five-member boy group, MBLAQ, would make their first appearance in a photo spread for Nylon magazine in October. The group, composed of members Seungho, G.O, Mir, Lee Joon and Thunder, had reportedly trained for two years under the mentorship of singer and music producer Rain.

The group made their stage debut on October 9, opening for Rain at his Legend of Rainism concert in Seoul. On October 12, MBLAQ released a teaser video for their debut song, "Oh Yeah", which was released two days later as part of their debut extended play Just BLAQ. Upon its release, the extended play topped various music charts in South Korea. The next day, the group made their broadcast debut, performing "Oh Yeah" on M Countdown. Thunder later revealed in 2011 that, while he provided live vocals for the extended play's promotions, his voice does not appear on Just BLAQ, as he had joined the group only 15 days prior to its release.

In November, a reality series about the group, called MBLAQ - The Art of Seduction (KoreanMBLAQ 작업의 정석), aired on Mnet, garnering high viewership ratings.

On December 6, MBLAQ performed at Rain's fan meeting in Tokyo to promote their upcoming Japanese debut. The group began promotions for their second Korean single, "G.O.O.D Luv", on December 11. The group appeared as hosts of season five of the television series Idol Show starting on December 16.

On May 17, 2010, the group released their second extended play, Y, featuring a lead single of the same name that was written and produced by Rain. "Y" reached number 5 on the Gaon Digital Chart, and the song claimed first place on M Countdown on June 3.
