MBLAQ Lee Joon “Honestly I can’t act well alongside female partners”






Male group MBLAQ’s Lee Joon revealed his true feelings about his recent collaboration with IU and T-ara’s Jiyeon.
Lee Joon became a hot discussion topic when he recently participated in K.Will’s comeback music video for ‘My Heart is Beating’ with IU. Besides that, he also attracted attention as he was casted with Jiyeon to dub the voices of the movie animation ‘Gnomeo and Juliet’.
Lee Joon who has worked with female artists more often than the other members told TV Daily through an interview, “I never thought that I’m very lucky with female partners”.
He further explained, “It is all for work, we work well with each other all for work, there is no other meaning to it, I’ve never once thought of this as luck. They are all good at what they do, and as colleagues, all I think about is that ‘they are very good’”.
Besides that, he also confessed, “Honestly, I’m the type of person who can’t work well with ladies. So if I’m filming alone, I will tell them that it is okay if they don’t help me. I can act while looking at their fists”, showing a different image.
On a different note, MBLAQ ended the promotion activities for their first full album released 1 year and 2 months after their debut.

MBLAQ Seungho, “Dark Circles the Result of Hard Work” Cool Man [Interview ⑤]

Macho MBLAQ who has the tendency to have it all. Amidst them in particular is the rough manly Seungho who is the man who profoundly makes the macho man and beastly man come together in harmony.

Seungho, although he debuted at a late age he made up his mind and ran solely looking at the top of the summit. Maybe that’s why there’s a charisma that can’t be compared with others in his eyes and has the feel of a man.
Throughout the interview with TV Daily he only spit out the thoughts that he was thinking by himself. To the question of what kind of music MBLAQ wants to do he replied with “I don’t think there’s a genre that clearly fits with MBLAQ’s color yet” in an assured voice.
Seungho is a distinct person whos beliefs are as clear as the future he goes towards. In some ways because of his cool judgment and stubbornness he may give off a slight feeling of coldness but because it’s Seungho it’s understandable.
Honestly, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Seungho is the original cold and chic man. He began with “I couldn’t express my heart well to the members when we first met. So they probably thought I was acting coy”. Then he confessed his out of the ordinary personality with “I came thinking ‘Why should I show my personality to people I’m not friends with?’”.
Member Lee Joon recollected the past with “Seungho hyung really changed a lot. Back then his eyes had a violent look but I think it’s a lot more good-natured now”. Seungho concluded with “I think it’s because I came through adolescence wrong. When I was younger I was really good-natured in pictures” with laughter.
The original cold and chic man Seungho also changed after meeting the members. Through spending long times of promotions he seems pleased with his inward perky heart.
We are suddenly getting curious about seemingly tough Seungho’s ideal girl. “I like girls who don’t lie. I find it interesting when ideal types are said to be similar to someone else.” Of course it is a reply just like Seungho. Because Seungho is so honest, lies are like rat poison to him.
Even with a question on his ideal type he responded sternly. “I have to meet her. It’s true that someone can be an ideal type by just looking at the face but I’m not that type of person. If I like how she looks I think that I should at least know her personality.”
“At around 33 years old I’m going to get married and have a kid before middle-age. I really hope that my first-born is a boy!” Seungho doesn’t just have his ideal type but has a 10 year program mapped out. “My original dream was to be a young dad at the age of 20 but it’s too late now. So I want to hurry and achieve my dream of being successful as a producer and get married”.
Same member Lee Joon’s response to the question of his ideal type “If she’s kind then ddaeng (T/N: I’m assuming that means that’s his ideal type)!, Thunder’s was “I never thought about it”. Even though they’re only one or two years apart, just by their views on their ideal type there is a clear distinction that maybe Seungho may be a little more mature.
The dark circles that have become Seungho’s trademark is the result of confidence of a cool man. The full confidence of the 20 year olds, vigor, with the hottest Seungho, it would be good to anticipate MBLAQ activities.

Sandara Park on SNS 24/7, Thunder Mentioned

9:40AM | A storm of texts between her and brother, Thunder
While in a salon in Cheongdamdong, Seoul, to get her hair fixed, she reads the comments entries on her me2day. Suddenly, she feels worried about the health of her youngest sibling, baby-like brother (MBLAQ Thunder) and sends him a quick text. Today, he would be appearing in KBS2 TV “Music Bank,” but because of a bad cold, Thunder’s throat is sore and in pain. “Baby, is your body feeling tired? Go get ‘em, and take care of your body. Do well in broadcasting today!” After 5 minutes, the reply comes, “Yes, my throat still feels a little sore ㅜ ㅜ.” Usually, she sends him a “storm of texts” but Thunder only replies with “short replies.”
