MBLAQ takes on three different looks for the album jackets of Japanese single “Mona Lisa”

MBLAQ has taken on three different looks for the three album jackets of their Japanese single, ”Mona Lisa“, leaving fans saying, “oh yeah”, as they pick and choose their favorite!

As typical of most Japanese releases, there will be several versions of the single including two limited editions and one regular edition. So for each edition comes a new jacket; the boys sport a tough, charismatic look in all black ensembles for the first one, a preppy, boy-next-door image for the second, and finally a fun and funky look for the third version.

Their Japanese label explained the concept behind the photos stating, “The black represents their powerful performances on stage, and the white and vivid colors represent their kind and lively image when they’re not on stage.” 

MBLAQ will release their 3rd Japanese single on March 27th, so you have plenty of time to debate with yourself about whether to pick one, or you know, just splurge on all three to your wallet’s dismay.

So, which is your favorite?

J.Tune Camp tweeted a photo of the two MBLAQ members and TWO X in cute yellow stage outfits from the ‘Inkigayo’ backstage, writing, “#MBLAQ #TwoX Seungho and Mir appeared at the SBS Deungchon Hall, where SBS ‘Inkigayo’ was held!!

Seungho confirms Junhyung and Hara are still dating

MBLAQ‘s Seungho confirmed that Hara and Junhyung were still dating.

On the most recent episode of MBC Music‘s ‘All the K-Pop‘, MC Boom asked Seungho and Mir, “These days, idols don’t hide their relationships like they did in the past and announce it publicly. Hara has announced her relationship. Are they still dating?“. Mir hesitated at first in replying, and Boom then focused his attention onto Seungho. Seungho shortly replied, “The two are dating fine.”

When the fortune tellers on the show predicted a bad year in terms of relationships for Junhyung in 2013, Seungho got upset, saying, “He is one of the dongsaengs I am close with. He looks strong on the outside, but he’s very softhearted on the inside. I always try hard to take care of him as a hyung. I’m upset that he received such a bad fortune“.
