FIRST REACTION to MBLAQ - Y, CRY, STAY & MONA LISA MVs

[@Ihearthamppy]

Dramatic, edgy, angsty 1st, 2nd, 3rd gen kpop is everything good in life

[@mamiwenee3183]

I strongly recommend 'This is war' . Probably my fav MBLAQ song.

[@icelemonteaelf]

just a quick FYI but one of the members Thunder is actually 2NE1's Dara's younger brother

[@soniciris]

I miss MBLAQ 🥺 I love that Lee Joon was a famous visual in 2nd gen but it's G.O. who had you like "him PRETTY" 😂 it's what he deserves!! Mona Lisa is my favorite, one of the few mini albums I made room in my luggage to take home from Korea ♥

[@krystenw.5928]

honestly i always thought G.O. was prettier than Joon.(kinda resemble Rain too imo), like his eyelashes were everything to me but people were too distracted by the stache and stubble.

[@Ihearthamppy]

This came out of nowhere LMAO literally Cry and Stay are still in my everyday playlist they're of my favorite songs of all time hands down. My god I just really love MBLAQ, plus the angst from second gen is what keeps me wrapped in their music all these years xddd

[@MizNouP]

CRY has to be one of my FAVORITES from them. I love them and miss them so much.

[@Ihearthamppy]

@@MizNouP definitely feel the same way!

[@usedtobemyself]

I feel like mblaq have sadly gone a bit forgotten these days so reactions like this of someone liking their music makes me so happy!

[@Mr.Wilson1991]

When you mentioned the stubble - Mblaq made a big splash at debut for debuting with a member with facial hair (G.O) and often had visibile stubble on shows. Also, because they were Rain/Bi's grouo (why Joon was also in Ninja Warrior as younger Rain). Stay is probably still one of the easiest songs to learn to sing along to in kpop. Please also react to B2st (Beast), and Ukiss 🙏 The flag thing - I'm South African we we have our flag on a lot of things here, also on men's clothes the old Japanese Rising Sun flag is or was a popular design, but yeah, mostly USA and UK flags on things, but when it comes to written place names it's mostly USA which sucks (like t-shirts that say New York or San Francisco etc.) and sometimes European cities like London, Paris or Milan etc. - very unfairly USA centric. Tokyo used to be used often in the early to mid-2010's though on both men's and women's clothing though but not in recent years. Don't really see African flags in other countries though but most of the world thinks Africa is one country... 😒 Saw a comment saying it's Colonialism - disagree, as we won't buy Nigerian or Tanzanian flaged clothing items in SA (and goes the same way for other African countries) but will buy like Italian, Brazilian or UK, so nah, more like we are fans and influcenced by their pop culture (tv/music) or sport (like football) - so not a Colonialism thing.

[@meikon82]

I almost faint... One of the best kpop 2nd generation. A+ for life

[@ji-cj2gn]

I haven't heard these songs in a looooong while 😭I miss my dorky boooois 🖤

[@bluishviolett]

I miss the heavy make up with bold fashion choices hahahaha

[@invusth]

The groups are amazing and I'm wondering why no one talks about it, sing or dance to their song. I hope kpop idols nowadays dance or at least remember the groups. What a legend

[@krystenw.5928]

Honestly when MBLAQ debuted one of the things that garned so much ttention was the fact that a member had facial hair. Honestly pretty un heard of. idols who are actual normal people can grow facial hair(who knew). Anyway, compared to other groups they debuted at an older age and were very much often called "(Bi)Rain's group". And Rain did have a hand in their production the first few years. However even then they didn't have the easiest debut. The group literally practiced in a basement and Seungho( full lucious lips, panda eyes), thier leader served as their manager until the company could actually afford one. Thunder(his hair doesn't look that far off from a bird's nest in STAY) had actually only trained for a few months before he debuted after a sudden member change in the group line-upand j. tune wasn't even able to rerecord the tracks on the album becaude of time and money so his voice isn't even on the album. In general while they had a lot working for them they had a lot working against them when they debuted. They gradually gained popularity through their music of course but honestly I think most of their popularity, in korea at least, stemmed from variety show appears. Each of the members are absolutely hilarious and all together they're pretty chaotic, and were often scolded but their company and Rain himself just because they have such a hard time filtering themselves. They definitely earned the title of variety-dol.(strong heart, idol army,star golden bell, sesame player to name a few good ones). Eventually MBLAQ grew to a point were you could say j.tune was pretty well off. Or so it seemed... The company debuted a girl group TwoX in 2012. But TwoX just didn't really get off on the right foot and were not promoted well at all. It was around this time I guess you could really started to see the cracks in J.tune's management( the joke of a central america tour that i wanna say never really happen, poor promtin, you could see a change of attitude with the MBLAQ members at times, etc.) . In 2014, Joon ( abs, crazy sharp jawline) and Thunder parted ways with the company and actually left MBLAQ( and don't get me started on how J.tune tried to hide the fact that they left for a few months). TwoX ended their contract with J.Tune and signed with another agency. ( I always figured it was a hint at money troubles.) The company ended up debuting another group, Madtown, and just like TwoX they really didn't succeed.. MBLAQ released Mirror in 2015 and other than the obvious hey it's just three member now promotion, there wasn't much else done. And by 2016, Madtown's contract was actually sold to another company(without much agreement from the members), and j.tune basically went silent. There were no updates or any schedules for MBLAQ, in fact news of J.tune no longer exsisting didn't even come from j.tune themselves. fans were reporting that the office was emptied out . Reports of people finding MBLAQ's awards at flea markets or on sale online were made and fans were furious. And it was eventually confirmed that j.tune infact filed for bankruptcy and no longer exsisted. Technically, MBLAQ is on hiatus, but honestly all of the members have moved on. Doesn't keep me from missing them though(especially as 5) but overall I'm happy for them like G.O.'s married, Seungho's doing musicals, Mir is living on his family's farm half the time, Thunder is doing his own music thing, and Joon is into acting.

[@taniahuerta3210]

I actually can't listen to Y anymore without laughing because I always remember that Running Man intro with Lee Kwang Soo lol

[@nurshakalaka8993]

Omg iconic HAHAHAHA

[@paolaa1876]

Sameeee

[@nurshakalaka8993]

The pretty guy with the pretty voice that you mentioned is called G.O. and everytime I see him I remember the time when he jokingly told the story of how he lost in this nationwide singing competition. He came in 2nd place and he was surprised to see that the first place winner was someone 2 years younger than him and it was our TAEYEON!! Hahahaha

[@MizNouP]

OMG I’d never thought anyone would be reacting to MBLAQ yay!!!!!!!!! They are amazing! G.O ( Main vocals) is like one of the first idol that freely shows his mustache.

[@Tyrant1x]

Cry is a classic, one of the best songs from that gen.

[@ARSbesho33]

i miss them 😭😭😭

[@silviavecchio9470]

you should do B2ST too! they are from the same era so.. I suggest "Breath", "Fiction", "Beautiful night", "Shock"

[@soysauceboy2023]

Talented, charismatic group. Horribly mismanaged.

[@1004liz]

Mblaq is still one of my favourite groups))) I miss them so much!

[@Kaori360]

I could talk for days T.T but I'll try to keep it short MBLAQ stands for Music Boys Live in Absolutely Quality.....yes They debuted in 2009 under Jtune camp and Rain made the group, they were known as his kids. After Rain finished his military service he left the company and the group kinda went on a decline.......the company was t r a s h Last 2 comebacks they received almost literally 0 support from the company and years after they disbanded they found MBLAQ music show no1 trophies at a flee market 🤬 their situation was rly sad when the company dropped support ;-; Stubble guy, good looking with good vocals is G.O! He recently got married as well and has his own youtube channel and sings often. his vocals are h e a v e n l y Thunder (starts Mona Lisa) is the 2nd rapper xD he's Daras younger brother and he's been releasing some solo music The nakey boy is Lee Joon and he ventured more into acting ever since he left the group. He also starred as younger version of Rain in Ninja Assassin owo Rapper Mir (shades in Mona Lisa) is uh...doing sum weird youtube videos but as long as he's happy ig?xD Seungho was the leader of the group and last I knew he was doing musicals ✨ The group is stupidly hilarious, they have absolutely no filter so even if you won't react, I highly recommend watching Sesame Player at least, there are cuts on YT as well! hope this helps somewhat?😅 Can't wait for more reactions, their music is actually very diverse! Thank you for all reactions, I rarely comment on youtube but my boys hHH

[@risingsunshine1624]

I used to call them mini Bi-s (because they were Rain's kids hahaha)

[@HMarie.99]

Wait, the same Lee Joon that was Jung Somin’s boyfriend?🤭

[@Kaori360]

@@HMarie.99 yep yep ^^

[@risingsunshine1624]

@@HMarie.99 Yep, that's him.

[@invusth]

Their first win at flee market? Omg they do deserve better. I hope the new boyband that Rain created Ciipher will not be left behind like MBLAQ

[@carolineauch]

I miss Mblaq soooo much and 2nd gen kpop in general. It was so emotive, some times a biiiit camp and just overall mesmerizing

[@HereIStandbyU]

This is war!!! You should watch ❤❤

[@Kaori360]

I'M SCREAMING, they were my first ult group back in the day so am hyped ah my heart 😭♥️

[@Lucisek268]

This makes me incredibly happy! MBLAQ are still one of my ults and hold a special place in my heart. I'm so glad you reacted to them and I bet you'll enjoy their "newer" releases even more ^^

[@dayjimong]

Damn unexpected you reacted this group, you make my day 😭👍❤ Monalisa, stay, Y always on my playlist😗 I miss those time

[@plip5489]

I'm so happy you reacted to Mblaq 😭. I still play their songs 😔

[@akanekodiviega]

I remember the summer of 2010, getting more into kpop, discovering "Y" and watching with my friend and be were like "OMG THIS SONG IS AMAZING" Y and "Cry" are so Rain sounding XD I love the Cry outfits but not the song 😅 "Stay" is my favourite MBLAQ song!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that song so much 🤩 I still remember the dance for the chorus! When Mona Lisa came out there weren't that many idol song with latino/spanish vibe. You saying about seeing stubbles??? When they debuted G.O had a moustache and some time of one line beard in the middle of the chin XD XD XD Think he was the first idol with a moustache XD Can't wait to see you reaction to the mv for "This is war" XD If you reacted to MBLAQ, then is time to check out B2ST!!!!!!!!

[@Ihearthamppy]

Also the choreo for Stay is one of the only I actually bothered to learn LMAO it's impossible not to do the chorus

[@chansooya]

Hope there will be one soon or either will be up soon if there is one already, they are coming back after more than two years in this upcoming May, hope kaia will react to their new mv once it is released!!! Btw, thank you so much kaia for still showering loves to all these old groups. Ehemm old but gold!

OMG this took me back to when I first got into kpop! Time to go binge play their music for the rest of the day.

Oh my God yes I love mblaq 😍 I was so sad when Lee joon and Thunder left

iconic indeed! joon was my first love lol

[@SoixFongxChan]

Please react to their "Be a Man", "This is War" and "Smoky girl" MVs

[@mysteriousvip9230]

Would be amazing if you could also react to IMFACT. Their entire discography is gold but if you could react to the mvs for The Light, NANANA & LIE that would be very much be appreciated 😁

[@mysteriousvip9230]

I was seriously just about to request your reaction to MBLAQ but here we are! The long wait was worth it! Thank you! 🙏😁

[@sayakayukimura858]

Hasta el día de hoy, lamento la disolución de MBLAQ, porque tenía todo para ser uno grupo reconocido internacionalmente, sus voces, rap y coreografías eran únicas. Aún tienes mucho que ver de ellos, esta "Be a man", "Smoky Girl", "This is War", quedaras impresionada.

[@NosKryme]

Aww, this brought me to a very happy place. This band was my very first K-POP band to ever follow, and I had the chance to see their career together from the beginning till the end. They brought me out of many-a dark places as I distracted myself with their music and variety content (they're a good riot, btw). I miss them very much, thank you greatly for just reacting to them, I haven't seen anyone talking about MBLAQ in literal years

[@kisa1909]

It's been ages since I've seen anyone react to MBLAQ!!!! Stay and Mona Lisa were a couple of my favorites back then. And Cry was just so pretty with the dancing in the water. I'm sure you'll get to This is War eventually and that's another good one especially with the choreo. Mirror too. No Love is probably my absolute favorite though. I loved the MV for it.

[@Yuuko1993]

gosh i miss MBLAQ so much ;; they had so many bops and then just...disappeared cuz their company didn't support them properly.

[@chansooya]

OH MGEE. YOU REACTED TO MY ULT. 😭😭😭😭😭

[@zammich3649]

I forgot how legitimately good Y was. I don't think I ever downloaded it because of the thick, obvious autotune, but that doesn't bother me as much anymore. Might finally pick it up.

[@ArchuletaLoves]

Regarding flags, at least in Mexico, the law mentions that if we misuse it we are subject to a fine and even jail so we can't use it on clothing or anything, we can only hang the flag. About MBLAQ I never considered myself an A+ (the name of their fandom) but I have a lot of affection for them and they have a little place in my heart (haha soooo cheesy but it is true) I remember when I watched their shows and how much I laughed and enjoyed it. To this day I continue listening to their songs every day and it is as if the time didn't pass every time I hear them I enjoy them a lot.

[@edpotter1170]

MBLAQ's most iconic one would be This Is War.

Y and Cry haven't left my playlist since they were released. Mona Lisa's styling was dated and ridiculous even for them time the video was filmed, have no idea what the stylist was thinking

[@12yeppo]

Yeay!i love it!😍tq for reacting to them😍

[@asleepbyseven]

AAAAHHH IM SO HAPPY! I'm also super glad you loved Cry and Stay; those two are definitely personal favourites I put on the playlist, not because they are super popular in comparison to the others on the playlist. Also, I always thought Mir's rapping was severely underrated and he's so good in both those tracks. I guess for the uk flag it comes from the punk movement...mmh no justifications for the us one tho lmao

[@paulb8766]

Please continue :D
