PART I
Resuming activities in Japan for the first time in 1 year and 5 months!
MBLAQ
Meeting our fans again after a long timeWe included our feeling of wanting to meet you in the song
Newly Reborn “MONA LISA”
MBLAQ, who debuted in Japan with “Your Luv” in 2011, will resume their activities in this Spring in Japan for the first time in 1 year and 5 months! The song they chose for their 1st shot of comeback after a long time is the Japanese version of “MONA LISA.”Seungho “We’ve done promotion with this song in Korea, but when it’s changed into Japanese the atmosphere is also different that I feel like revealing a new song. The lyrics and MV are also different, so please try to feel the differences from the original!”
Cheondung “With the lyrics changed into Japanese, I feel a sense of gentleness showing in the content. Or perhaps I should say it has a gentler feeling than the atmosphere of the original song…”
Mir “We have released 2 Japanese singles so far, but didn’t the song this time turn out to be the most natural? Since the rap was also in Japanese it was difficult, but I did my best!”
G.O “I also had fun doing the recording. The Japanese staff came to Korea for us that we were able to do it at ease in an environment where we could relax, and personally it was very easy to sing.”
—–I heard that you also filmed your MV anew.
Cheondung “We filmed it at an underground parking lot, but actually the filming day was the coldest day in this winter in Korea! It was super cold! I filmed it while shaking, but it turned out to be pretty cool. It was cold and my body was stiff, so conversely it might have become a good atmosphere that had a sense of nervousness (laugh).”
Seungho “At the time of the filming my collarbone was injured and I couldn’t move my left arm. Did anyone notice that? It’s really amazing if someone did (laugh).”
Mir “Only our handsome poses are included in the MV, but at the scene it was a situation in which we were somehow enduring with heaters and hot pads. Please watch it while imagining that (laugh).”
—–You held TALK & LIVE in Japan in February. Is there anything particularly impressive?
Seungho “We’ve been having a lot of solo activities lately, and for us to stand on the stage and sing together in 5 after a long time was in itself enjoyable. The thing that was requested the most was “please show your aegyo”, but really…they were like appearing in my dream (laugh).”
Mir “At the question board event, someone wrote “I want to be your pet snake (laugh).” The idea of a human being wanting to be a snake was so interesting and impressive.”
—–What do you want to do together with your fans in Japan?
Mir “Dome tour. I want to go to all the big live venues of Japan! I want the members and fans to taste the moving moments together.”
G.O “Not just live, but I also wish there will be more events where we can get close to all the fans. I want to have meetings like the “MONA LISA -Japanese Version-” purchaser event in May, too.”
—–Lastly a message to your fans!
Mir “We’ve been receiving a lot of messages like “I want to meet you” or “When will you come to Japan?” from people in Japan on Twitter and the like, so I’m really happy that we can come to Japan again!”
Lee Joon “While on the one hand I’m happy, to be honest, I’m under a bit of pressure. Since we’re going to meet you after a long time, I want you to think that we’re more matured than before… Although it’s the same song, I think the newly reborn “MONA LISA” will give us a chance to grow!”
Cheondung “With the feeling of wanting to meet all of you with our music we worked very hard, so I will be glad if you can listen to it a lot.”

PART II
Designated 2 SHOT TALK
In the order starting from the person who lost in rock-paper-scissors = Cheondung, 2 shot photoshoot where they designated their partner whom they wanted to film with. We also heard what they said about the partner whom they designated.
Rock.paper.scissors!!
Cheondung designated MirQ. What was the reason why you designated Mir?
Because Mir happened to be across from me when we were doing rock-paper-scissors (laugh). He was the closest to me, so he was caught in the path.
Cheondung x Mir
Q1. The secret between each other is?
There’s no secret, but there’s a fact that no one seems to know. Mir is unexpectedly a person who tries his best. He really works as hard as he can in everything. It’s unexpected, right (laugh)?
Q2. What is Mir’s good point?
I think Mir’s attitude of having fun in doing everything and his sense of humor is amazing. Since Mir is the closest in age with me among the members, how should I say it, there are a lot of times we understand each other without talking.
Mir designated Lee Joon
Q. What was the reason why you designated Lee Joon?
It seems like everyone thinks that Lee Joon and I are not too close, but actually we are close friends! For proving that I picked him.
Mir x Lee Joon
Q1. The secret between each other is?
Eh~! Joon hyung doesn’t have many secrets~ I’m also like that. I think we know everything about each other. Rather than secrets, although it’s an unexpected side of Joon hyung, actually he’s very sensitive and usually quiet. It’s totally different from his image on TV, right?
Q2. What is Lee Joon’s good point?
He takes very good care of people. He’s also like that to his male dongsaengs… He’s a thrifty person, so although he might have a stingy image, I think he’s a person who is very compassionate and has a strong sense of duty.
Lee Joon designated Seungho
Q. What was the reason why you designated Seungho?
Huh, the reason? I wasn’t thinking much about anything. Hahahaha! What should I do! What could it be… Somehow I picked him (laugh).
Lee Joon x Seungho
Q1. The secret between each other is?
Perhaps I also have the same answer as all other members, but we, really have no secrets (laugh)!! We’ve been living in the dorm together for a long time as well… Except the times of solo activities, whether it’s at work or in the dorm I’m always with the members, so we can’t have secrets. MBLAQ is that kind of relationship.
Q2. What is Seungho’s good point?
Good point!? Seungho hyung’s good point~? Sure enough, he’s the leader and has a sense of responsibility. I’m thankful that he always brings the team together well.
Seungho designated G.O
Q. What was the reason why you designated G.O?
What came to my mind momentarily was G.O. We’re also friends of the same age, and as the oldest hyungs of the group, because we have an invisible connection, I wonder?
Seungho x G.O
Q1. The secret between each other is?
Rather than secrets, G.O is more gentle than he is seen by everyone and is really sensitive. His musical sensitivity is also the most outstanding. And he really loves playing games (laugh).
Q2. What is G.O’s good point?
As expected, as a “hyung” he leads the team even among the members, and he understands my feelings more than anyone. Of course the other 3 members also become my strength, but because we’re of the same age, he seems to be a bit different emotionally.
The last one is G.O & Cheondung
Q. What was the reason why you designated Cheondung?
It’s elimination (laugh). At the end only Cheondung whom we beat at the beginning was left, so I came to film with Cheondung automatically.
G.O x Cheondung
Q1. The secret between each other is?
There’s no secret in MBLAQ~ We’ve been having activities together all along, there’s no surprising part now. Hahaha (laugh). So I think we’re close. Because I feel that we’re like a family.
Q2. What is Cheondung’s good point?
Cheondung’s good point!? U~m… (troubled for a moment…) Now that you ask me… (shy) As expected I think he’s tall (laugh)?
