Seungho's Interview in 111129 Hallyu Pia Magazine (Dec. Issue)
MBLAQ
Our chic feeling as well as our bright feeling
Both are our true appearance
If you are bitten once, you can’t leave again…… It is MBLAQ that has landed in Japan this Spring as the strongest vampires. With their debut single “Your Luv” in May they achieved a good result as the 2nd place on Oricon. With their chic style in Korea and refreshing J-POP in Japan, they do activities as they change their styles in Japan and Korea. They don’t have a break in both countries, and they who show their multifaceted charm are approaching.

We are not changing our style
It is a part we have
It is a part we have
—-When you debuted in May, you had stayed in Japan for about 1 month for promotion. What is the difference between the promotions in Japan and Korea?
Seungho “The promotions in Korea focus on interviews and music shows, so there are not many chances to be able to meet our fans. However, in Japan we directly come in contact at high touch meetings, mini-live, etc., and there are events that show our live stages. I think those parts are different.”

—-I feel that the high-pitched cheer of MBLAQ’s fans is loud when compared to other groups……
Seungho “It’s because the ones who cheer loudly will be chosen in the audition. If you can’t reach above a certain level you can’t join our fanclub (laugh).” (Of course it is a joke)

—-You are doing activities with J-POP style music in Japan.
Seungho “I think that there’s no such thing as differences between K-POP and J-POP. MBLAQ have only been doing charismatic performances with chicness in Korea. As for Japan, we hope that we can do performances that have a bright and refreshing feeling. I think our fans in Japan are also seeing our activities in Korea and we wanted to show a different appearance in Japan.
—-You don’t feel uncomfortable doing activities while changing your style in Japan and Korea?
Seungho “Rather than changing our style, I think it’s a part we have originally. How to express that? It’s only that the way of expression is different according to the song, and the chic feeling as well as the bright feeling are both our appearances.”
Our first solo concert is an experience
A tour in Japan has been planned!

—-MBLAQ is welcoming the 2nd anniversary of their debut in Korea. What is the most memorable thing in your 2 years of activities?
All “Our first solo concert!”
All “Our first solo concert!”
—-It’s “MEN IN MBLAQ” that was held in Seoul in August. There were solo corners, right?
Seungho “I revealed a piano and dance performance. I received a lot of support and was really happy. Though it was our first concert, weren’t we able to have fun, I think. On the other hand, we also showed many lacking sides. It’s our homework from now on.”
—-RAIN came to your rehearsal and it looks like he has given you some advice.
Seungho “He told us, ‘Do your best! Be cool, have fun, and you’ll be fine if you keep that in mind.’”
—-You are entering your 3rd year, and what is the thing that MBLAQ must achieve?
Seungho “We want to try to have a world tour.”
—-We will look forward to that! How about your activities in Korea?
Seungho “We’ve planned to start from now on. Now we are preparing for them.”
—-MBLAQ is a 5-men team, but please tell us an episode in which you think that it won’t do if you are not 5 people.
Seungho “When Mir is not here I do the rap, and I’ve sang on behalf of Joon. I’ve also danced Cheondung’s part and sang the main vocal on behalf of G.O. At that time I acutely felt that each of us is necessary in MBLAQ. I usually don’t realize that, but when anyone is missing I feel that’s a very lonely place. If we are not 5 people I can’t live.”
—-At last, please tell us your goal of 2012.
Seungho “I want to learn a new instrument. Maybe that’s it. Flute is nice.”
Entering their 3rd year since debut!
How was MBLAQ’s 2011?

This year I want to praise this of this member!
Seungho – Joon’s ability to express
He’s studied acting, so his ability to express on the stage is also the best among us.
Joon – Seungho’s leadership
As the leader, he’s perfectly showing his leadership. Oh, it’s because he treats well (laugh).
