2nd generation · J.Tune Camp
エムブラック / 엠블랙
MBLAQ arrived with Rain's name attached and leaned on hard dancing and a black-clad image from the beginning.
Last updated:
Y and Oh Yeah carry the sharp early singles, Mona Lisa and This Is War add drama, and Smoky Girl and Be a Man turn toward grown-up R&B pop.
Choose this for a second-generation boy group whose acting instincts are as visible as its dancing.

Follow a few songs from the starting point to the group's current sound.
Y MVY is the early signature, with the sharpest hook and the heaviest production.Mona Lisa MVMona Lisa leans latin and is the easiest of the singles for a new listener.
This Is War MVThis Is War is staged like a film, and the performance carries the story.Verified English shopping links are not yet available.
What anchors MBLAQ is the Rain production context and an image of forceful dancing built on black. J.Tune Camp debuted the boy group in 2009 with Oh Yeah, attention followed from the involvement of Rain, and they carried a presence from the start.
The way in is Y, Mona Lisa, This Is War. Y gives the sharp hook typical of the 2nd generation, Mona Lisa the Latin-flavoured signature song, and This Is War the drama-styled music video and the performing.
Lee Joon and Thunder left at the end of 2014, and Mirror in 2015 was the work of Seungho, G.O and Mir as a 3-member lineup. Looking at the 5-member and the 3-member years apart keeps the working history tidy. Y, then Mona Lisa, then This Is War covers the sharp hook, the signature song and the drama styling.
Editors' take Y / Mona Lisa / This Is War — the Rain production context leading into forceful dancing and a black-based image, across 3 songs from a 2nd generation 5-piece.
No. 127 of 210 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 60%)
The denominator is the 210 groups, out of 525 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
