Endorsements
In 2009, Cheon Doong featured in a CF with the Wonder Girls for Mori Stylish Coffee.
The year 2010 resulted in a few endorsement deals for MBLAQ which included TB Jeans (TBJ), Cacao Black CF which featured MBLAQ’s song Oh Yeah, Pink Wings Charity Campaign, and an endorsement deal with Chapstick. MBLAQ released two songs, titled 사랑해도 참는다 Part.1 and 사랑해도 참는다 Part.2. Two MVs and a music drama, which also featured ex-T-ara member Yang Ji Won, for Chapstick were also released.
Individual endorsements include Joon for HITE Beer and Miero Fibre with figure skater Kwak Min-Jung. Cheon Doong was featured in a CF for Tropicana Sparkling which, in addition to being a parody of MBLAQ’s Y MV, also incorporated MBLAQ’s song Y and MV into the CF. Cheon Doong also appeared in two CFs for Alba Heaven, which featured MBLAQ’s song Oh Yeah.
Music, Dance, and Influence
Initially debuting as a group more focussed on dance and pop music, MBLAQ have since experimented with different genres. Oh Yeah and Y were dance/pop tracks, My Dream, Last Luv and Rust are ballad tracks, Bang Bang Bang is rock/pop, Cry is an R&B track, and Stay is a track infused with hip-hop, electronic and rock.
With Rain being their mentor and major influence, he wrote, composed, produced and choreographed a few tracks for MBLAQ, including Oh Yeah, G.O.O.D Luv, Y and Stay. For the release of Just BLAQ and Y, MBLAQ focussed heavily on their performance with strong choreography. With BLAQ Style, MBLAQ have decided to focus more on the music and melody, rather than the choreography.
