Rain Lee Joon
'Lee Joon', one memeber of 5 male group MBLAQ produced by Rain, appeared on SBS TV's show program 'Challenging 1000 Songs' to be aired on the 27th and said, "Rain declared he'll say no more before me because of my continued disclosure of his personal statement."
"Once, when I showed up while he was talking with the rest of our members except me, he said to me, revealing his cute discomfort with me, 'Do you intend to make a disclosure of what I'm saying now on TV? I won't talk to you anymore' "
"Also, he wrote good words with his autograph on his album for the rest of our members, but he was avenged on me, writing a short word to me, 'Read good books!' "
It is said when 'Lee Joon' added, "Hyung! (Rain), I'm considering that treatment unfair.", the audience roared with laughter at the scene.
Meanwhile, 'Challenging 1000 Songs' will be aired on the 27th at 8:10 am.
23 Jun 2010 - Rain, Cute Grudge? 'I'm not talking'
5 member group MBLAQ's Lee Joon declared that his agent and boss, Rain, will no longer talk in front him.
On the 27th of the upcoming scheduled broadcast SBS 'Challenge 1000 Songs', he delivered the message, "President Rain told me that he will no longer talk in front of me."
In each of his broadcasts, Lee Joon unstoppably revealed Rain's humane image and it became the topic of conversation.
While Rain shared a private secret, he said, "You're going to say this on air, aren't you? I'm not talking," and he revealed that he will show a cute grudge.
Although Lee Joon got Rain to sign his [Joon's] album and to write a comment to each member, Rain wrote "Joon, read a book" to Lee Joon and had a timid revenge.
In the meantime, on the day of this broadcast, it is expected that a song challenge will unfold, including MBLAQ, No Sayun, Won Miyun, Jo Hyeryun, Secert, etc.

2 Jul 2010 - MBLAQ "Please be considerate of our personal lives at our dorm"
Five-member male group MBLAQ has found success in promoting their second mini album title track 'Y' with their masculine charm. Lee Joon went shirtless to show off his abs, and cute-faced Thunder transformed into a strong image. They even showed a bit of relaxation, saying, "We're not that nervous in front of the camera anymore", and "When we hear compliments that our skills have grown since last year, it makes us happy". MBLAQ, who debuted about a year ago, is currently enjoying success with their song at the top of the charts on various music charts.
>2 cell phones each
MBLAQ, who are electronic manias, each have two cell phones. In some ways, they are living in a different world from some idols, who have their cell phones taken away by their companies so that they can focus on practicing.
"I carry around a Blackberry and an iPhone, but I'm waiting for the iPhone 4G. I went to a store in KangNam recently, and the employee there asked me for a signature and told me to come when they get new products." (SeungHo)
On the day of the interview, it was 'CEO' Rain (Jung JiHoon)'s birthday, so I got to witness the five of them sitting together sending congratulatory text messages to him.
"JiHoon hyung sends us replies sometimes. We're each so busy that it's hard to meet, so we usually talk by text." (G.O)
About Rain, they said, "When we practice, he's a scary hyung who is like a tiger, but at other times he's like a real brother". They laughed, stating, "Only Lee Joon got warned by JiHoon hyung to watch what he says".
"For the fun of variety, Lee Joon told some exaggerated stories of Rain, and he was warned about it. He was told to not tell any stories that would create a stir." (SeungHo)
>Please don't come to our dorm
"We would like it if our fans respected our personal lives inside the dorms..", they expressed toward their fan girls.
"We live on the first floor of a KangNamGu ShinSaDong villa, and there are even fans who come through the back yard. I want to at least rest in the dorm, but there are times when I can't even do that." (Thunder)
They said that there was even a fan who fell while jumping the fence and asked the members for medicine with bleeding knees. They stated, "We understand your feelings of liking us, but we would like it if you would please respect our personal lives".
The members also had a lot to say about their dorm. "I think that a cockroach recently laid some eggs. There are cockroaches with still-undeveloped wings flying around in domination." (G.O)
But they finally got the chance to be good to their parents after debuting last October, after eight months of activities.
"I didn't have any income, but with the money I gathered from this album's activities, I provided college tuition for my dongseng. I felt satisfied." (SeungHo)
"I didn't come from a wealthy home, but I never had to get a job because my parents always provided me with pocket money. When I gave my father the money I made, he was really happy." (G.O)
MBLAQ, who will continue their album promotion with a new song through July, had a lot of laughter during the interview but got a sparkle in their eyes when talking about their ambitions.
"We're going to do the best we can so that we can receive all the Best New Artist awards at the end of the year. Our goal is always first place."
5 Jul 2010 - [Interview] MBLAQ, "We've gotten rid of half of the 'Rain' label, right?"
"We want to get rid of our label as the idol group that Rain raised."
MBLAQ, who has gained popularity with the release of their new album, confidently stated, "We want to be accepted for our skills rather than being known only because of Rain".
The label 'the idols that Rain raised' has been tagged onto them even before debut. Thanks to this, it was easy to get their faces out to the masses, but it came with a large burden. They did not get to show their abilities 100% during their promotions for their first album.
"At first, the burden to do well weighed really heavily. As the burden got bigger, we felt that we didn't get to show off all the talent that we have. So we tried to throw away those burdens as much as possible and worked hard to show everyone our development as new idols. Our hard work must have paid off, because we hear from people around us that we're doing well, and that we now seem relaxed on stage. We don't mind being called 'the idols that Rain raised', but we would like 'the MBLAQ that works hard' better."
MBLAQ released their second single album title track 'Y' in the middle of May, and after only two weeks of comeback, won first place on Mnet's 'M! Countdown', succeeding in getting rid of about half of their label as Rain's idols.
"All of us were really surprised by the unexpected first place win. Thoughts of how hard we prepared for this album came up, but our CEO Rain's face came to mind especially. After the broadcast, we spoke to Rain hyung, and he told us we did a good job, saying that this was just the beginning and that we should work harder. And he said that because we were now 'first place singers', we should all grab a drink. It felt a bit strange hearing that. We did get first place, but we're still lacking a lot to be called 'first place singers'."
Debuting with 'Oh Yeah' in October of last year, MBLAQ has been running forward without much rest. They weren't seen on music programs for a while, but they made themselves known on various variety programs on both cable and terrestrial channels. Recently, they have also shown us that they are 'entertainment-dols', appearing on variety shows with Rain.
"All five members are fun on a regular basis. In fact, on television, we tend to level it down. (laugh) We're all really close and live together in a dorm, so there's a lot of funny stories between us and it helps us increase our sense for variety. When we're filming for television, a lot of sunbaes treat us well to get us noticed. We think that's why we've been getting more attention lately."
MBLAQ has many young fans as idol singers, but they also have their fair share of older (nuna) fans. It's not just civilians?even celebrity nunas don't hide their love for MBLAQ when they meet them on television.
"Our fans are of diverse ages. Online, we have a lot of younger fans, and on music programs, the nunas come to cheer us on quietly. We're idols, but none of us are underage, so we don't fear ruining our image and being honest, and we think that's why our nuna fans love us so much. (laugh) We want to show charisma on stage and a friendly, next-door-neighbor image off stage."
Although they have already grabbed first place with just their second album, MBLAQ still has a lot to show us. They are preparing for their first full-length album and considering entering overseas activities as well.
"We need to show a different image than our idol groups. We're working hard so that, as musicians, our own creations can be a part of our next album."

4 Jul 2010 - MBLAQ doesn't want to be known as Rain's Idols
MBLAQ, who has up ’til now been carrying the label of “Rain’s group,” has revealed through an interview that they wish to “get rid of [their] label as the idol group that Rain raised.”
Even before their debut, the boys were tagged with this name, and while it was easy for them to become popular because of such a nickname, the group found it difficult to show off their own talents during the promotions for their first album without being compared to Rain himself. The boys elaborated on their feelings: “At first, the burden to do well weighed [because we were trained by Rain] really heavily [upon our backs, and] as the burden got bigger, we felt that we didn’t get to show off all the talent that we have. So we tried to throw away those burdens as much as possible and worked hard to show everyone our development as new idols [instead.] Our hard work must have paid off, because we hear from people around us that we’re doing well and [seem more] relaxed on stage.” They were then able to explain that they “don’t mind being called ‘the idols that Rain raised,’ but […] would [prefer] ‘the MBLAQ that works hard.’”
MBLAQ was able to shed half of their ‘Rain’s idols’ label through winning first place on Mnet’s ‘M! Countdown’ with title track ‘Y,’ but still expressed wishes to improve even more and rid themselves completely of such a title. “All of us were really surprised by the unexpected first place win; [although] thoughts of how hard we prepared for this album came up, […] our CEO Rain’s face came to mind [more often.] After the broadcast, we spoke to Rain hyung, and he told us we did a good job, saying that this was just the beginning and that we should work harder. And he said that because we were now ‘first place singers,’ we should all grab a drink [to celebrate.]” Celebrating the obtaining of such a prestigious title evidently did not come easily to the boys, as they felt that although they “did get first place, […] [they’re] still lacking a lot to be [able to] be called ‘first place singers.’”
The talented idols then remembered that they would be nowhere without their fans, and acknowledged that their fans consisted not only of younger people, but of older noona (including celebrities) fans as well. “Our fans are of diverse ages,” MBLAQ explained. “Online, we have a lot of younger fans, and on music programs, the noonas come to cheer us on quietly. We’re idols, but none of us are underage, so we don’t fear ruining our image [or] being honest, and we think that’s why our noona fans love us so much. We want to show charisma onstage and a friendly, next-door neighbor image offstage.”
The conversation soon drifted to the boys’ appearances on variety shows, during which it was mentioned that they have recently become referred to as “entertainment-dols” while making audiences laugh in the presence of manager Rain. MBLAQ insisted that they were simply naturally funny people, saying, “all five members are fun on a regular basis; in fact, on television, we tend to level it down. We’re all really close and live together in a dorm, so there’s a lot of funny stories between us and it helps us increase our sense for variety. When we’re filming for television, a lot of sunbaes treat us well to get us noticed – [that’s probably] why we’ve been getting more attention lately.”
The boys summed up their thoughts by expressing their hopes to “show a different image than [other] idol groups.” They also aspired to work hard “so that, as musicians, […] our next album [can be created partly by ourselves.]
Ich liebe die Beziehung zwischen den Jungs und ihrem "Chef". Die beste nach der YG Family. Ist wirklich erfrischend die lockeren Sprüche der Jungs zu lesen. _________________
Ich möchte hier nicht wieder Negativ-Stimmung machen, aber ich bin nicht so begeistert von diesem Artikel. Gestern Abend wollte ich nichts sagen und einfach darüberschlafen und es wieder lesen. Aber jetzt hat mich der Artikel noch mehr geärgert.
Was ist das bitte für eine Einstellung? Nicht mal ein Jahr auf dem Markt, nicht mal ein Full Album und schon wollen die Bübchen gerne als MBLAQ nur bekannt sein und nicht als Rain's Jungs. Habe ich hier etwas verpasst? Oder haben die Bübchen einen Realitäts-Verlust?
Erst einmal, ist Rain sehr fair mit ihnen, lässt ihnen viele Freiheiten (sei es kreativ oder während Promotions), er schiebt sich nicht immer in den Vordergrund wie JYP es immer mit Rain gemacht hat.
Zweitens sind sie nun mal Rains 1. Produkt (und wahrscheinlich auch die letzten dank ihres Verhaltens unter anderem) und das sollten sie als etwas Besonderes empfinden und nicht als "Last" oder "Belästigung". Sie sollten stolz darauf sein!!
Drittens sie sollten sich erst einmal beweisen und dazu gehört sich zu behaupten und erst einmal paar Jahre auf dem Buckel zu haben. Wenn sie nicht immer mit Rain in Verbindung gebracht werden wollen, dann sollten sie doch verdammt nochmal selber aufhören, immer über Rain zu reden, ihn überall zu erwähnen oder ihn sogar in peinliche Situationen bringen (mein "Liebling" Lee Joon ist ein Experte hier). Dann sollen sie über sich reden und Witze und peinliche Situationen über sich erzählen.
Und zum Abschluss: ich finde es ein Armutszeugnis von den Jungs, wenn ich daran denke wie Rain es soweit gebracht habt. Er fing als Backup-Dancer bei JYP an und wurde zum Superstar. Sogar heute noch, wird sein Name immer im Zusammenhang mit JYP erwähnt, aber ich kann mich nicht erinnern, dass sich Rain jemals darüber beschwert habt. Nein, er zeigt Respekt und Dankbarkeit und sagt noch heute, er verdankt seinem Mentor JYP sehr viel!
Mit dieser Einstellung haben die Jungs noch einen sehr, sehr langen Weg vor sich. Talent haben sie (manche weniger als die anderen), liebenswert sind sie (manche weniger als die anderen), aber außer ihrer lockeren Art in Talk Shows und ihrer Natürlichkeit haben sie nicht bis jetzt bewiesen, was sie anders oder besser macht als andere Idol Groups.
Ich weiß gar nicht was daran so schlimm ist, daß man sich Ziele setzt. Rain hat damals bei den Dreharbeiten zu Nappin Namja in seinem Interview auch gesagt, daß es sein Ziel ist, größer und besser als JYP zu sein und das er alles daran setzten wird dies zu schaffen. Er war damals auch noch ein ziemlich kleiner Fisch.
"Peinliche" Geschichten gehören zum Alltag der Stars. JEDER und ich meine JEDER erzählt über den ein oder anderen Star irgendwelche peinlichen Geschichten die sich in keinster Weise negativ für den Star auswirken.
Als Beispiele kann ich dir einige geben. Trinkverhalten, Arroganz, Pornofilme, Dates und andere peinliche Stories werden zuhauf von jedem über jeden erzählt und es entsteht in keinster Weise ein Imageschaden für jemanden.
Es ist auch gang und gebe, daß Idols über ihre "Chefs" Geschichten erzählen und ihn imitieren/nachäffen. Dies hat in keinster Weise zu bedeuten, daß sie ihn nicht respektieren oder ihm Schaden. So ist nunmal die Industrie. MBLAQ unterscheidet sich in keinster weise von anderen Idols weil ALLE das machen. Dies bezieht sich auch auf Schauspieler, Soloisten ja eigentliche jede Prominenz.
Man erfährt Geschichten wie z. Bsp. das Kangin nie eine Rechnung bezahlt, Eunhyuk Pornofilme sammelt, Mc Mong leute beschimpft wenn er betrunken ist, Hyun Joong nicht mal aufwachen würde wenn sein Haus zamstürzt weil er so einen tiefen Schlaf hat, Junho nicht auf dem Rücken schlafen kann weil sein Arsch zu fett ist, Lee Joon sich nicht wäscht und Mir mit den Zähnen knirscht wie ein Irrer wenn er schläft. Dies ist nur eine kleine Auswahl and Geschichten die zirkulieren welche ANDERE Stars über den anderen erzählen bzw. auspacken.
Dies dient der Unterhaltung und IST Unterhaltung. Weist darauf hin wie nah man sich steht und befreundet ist.´
K-Pop ist moralisch-sozial eine der strengsten Industrien weltweit. Wenn MBLAQ oder in diesen Fällen Joon es zuweit getrieben hätte bzw. wirklich ein Problem verursacht hätte kann ich dir mit 10000000000000000000% Sicherheit bestätigen, daß dies Konsequenzen mit sich gezogen hätte. Sein Verhalten und seine Geschichten bei Interviews oder Shows über Rain sind ERLAUBT. Vom Manager, von der Firma und vor allem von Rain.
Es ist nicht vorgekommen das eine Idol Group oder ein Idol jemals ernsthaft über seinen Chef gelästert hat ud Rain hat auch schon viele Geschichten über JYP erzählt was er für schlimme Sachen durchmachen musste weil er so streng ist. Er hat sich ja auch kaum anders verhalten wie die Jungs jetzt.
Ich weiß, daß man als Fan von jemandem einen gewissen Beschützerinstikt hat. Geht mir ja auch so. Aber Joon und MBLAQ sind nicht die Feinde von Rain. Das sind seine ANGESTELLTEN die für ihn arbeiten und seine Babys. Soviele Freiheiten besitzen sie nicht, daß sie sich derartige Sachen GEGEN den Willen von Rain erlauben können. _________________
Süße, ich werde nicht mir dir "diskutieren" über den Punkt, wie das K-Pop Entertainment funtkioniert, wer wie über wem redet, weil ich in der Hinsicht mit deinem Expertise nicht mithalten kann und deiner Meinung vertraue und respektiere.
Wie du es auch richtig gesagt hast, dass, wenn man jemanden sehr schätzt, einen Schützerinstinkt hat und den habe ich, wenn es um Rain geht, das habe ich nie geleugnet. Aber trotzdem bin ich meiner Meinung nach auch objektiv genug und behandle Rain nicht wie "Gott".
1. Ja, Rain hat erzählt, dass es unter JYP sehr viel gelitten hat. Aber der Unterschied zu diesen Jungs, das kam erst Jahre später (als er von JYP getrennt war) und nicht gleich nach 9 Monaten Debut . Rain hatte (und hat immer noch) zu großen Respekt vor JYP, um sich das zu erlauben. Schau dir bitte Happy Together an. Dort sagt Rain etwas sehr interessantes, dass Lee Joon nur nach 1 Jahr unter ihm trainiert hat und sich bereits traut, so mit Rain oder über Rain zu reden. Er hat es erst nach 6 Jahren sich getraut, über JYP so zu reden.
2. Und bis heute hat sich Rain nicht einmal darüber beschwert, dass sein Name jemals mit JYP in Verbindung gebracht worden ist oder wird. Er betont immer wieder, obwohl er so viel allein geschafft hat, dass er vieles JYP schuldig ist.
Ich meine, ihr seid unter J. Tune unter Vertrag, ihr werdet von Rain produziert, alles von Choreographie, Kleidung, Songs, kommt von Rain. Wenn sie nicht mehr als "Rain's Boys" bezeichnet werden wollen, dann sollen sie doch zu einer anderen Agentur gehen. 3. Und zuletzt: ja, Rain hat während dem Video-Shooting von Bad Guy gesagt, er möchte besser als JYP sein. Aber darum geht es hier nicht, weil die Jungs nicht von besser sein wollen reden, sondern sich darüber beschweren, dass sie als Rain's Jungs bezeichnet werden! Natürlich musst du als Schützling/Schüler das Ziel haben, besser als dein Meister zu sein. Die Jungs haben das auch gesagt, ihr Traum ist es eines Tages besser als Rain zu sein und das ist ein gutes Ziel und das will auch Rain, weil es dann nur zeigen würde, er hat seinen Schülern gutes beigebracht.
Nicht mal 9 Monate auf dem Markt und schon so eine Einstellung. Ich finde es traurig!

Q. You gain the ability to go into another person's dreams and steal their dreams. Whose dream would you go into?

13 Aug 2010 - MBLAQ at Hallyu Wave Magazine (Rain mentioned)
MBLAQ are a five member group who debuted in October of last year. The dance group managed by Rain received attention from the beginning, and have come to Japan to perform as the opening act for “Rain Love Tour 2010″ at Saitama Super Arena. We talked to them in their dressing room.
MBLAQ debuted in October 2009 under Rain’s production. Even among boy groups they stand out as being blessed with having good looks and figures, and have received the nickname “chic-dol.” They released their second single “Y” in May of this year. The main track “Y” is a dance song with the theme of “the love of a man who has been betrayed by love,” and it’s said that it was originally going to be released by Rain himself.
Q: What was your impression after hearing “Y” for the first time?
G.O: Our previous song “Oh Yeah” was one that let out a fun mood in all aspects. This time’s “Y” is based on one image, but the expressions and message are different based on each part. I thought that was interesting. When I first listened to it, I thought that it would be fun to do a musical-like performance, and Rain gave us choreography like that, so I was able to practice happily.
Q: The singing parts for this song are minutely distributed. Was it Rain who decided who would sing each part? Seungho: Yes, he did. From the start, our parts were divided up within the group. When I heard the song I predicted that “this might be my part,” but I have no discomfort with how Rain decided our parts.
Q: Compared to your debut song, you can feel that Mir’s dancing has improved. Did you do any special training?
(The other members jeer)
Mir: (Embarrassed laugh) During the promotions for this song, we each had our own activities so I didn’t do any special practicing, but I tried my hardest.
Q: Joon’s sensual choreography at the start of the song leaves a strong impression. What kind of guidance were you given?
Joon: That choreography as also done by Rain. First he showed me by example, and told me to do it like that, but I couldn’t easily do it. He gave me the advice that, “Men have to be able to show their sexiness without taking their clothes off,” and with my cell phone I filmed him dancing, and practiced many times while watching it.
Q: In the previous song Cheondung rapped, but this time you’re singing.
Cheondung: At first I was in charge of rapping, but I went to Rain and said, “Rapping is good too, but from now on I’d like to sing.” As a result of that, I’ve been able to sing this time.
After finishing the opening act at Saitama Super Arena, MBLAQ watched Rain’s performance. Leader Seungho says, “From the moment he stood on stage, I thought that his aura was completely different from ours. I felt that he’s someone in the clouds, still far from us.”
