I’ll Say Yes to ‘Mona Lisa’

  • The Spanish influence on this track DEFINITELY spices things up.
  • I don’t care if you’re SHINee, 2PM, or MBLAQ; fancy cars in an MV accomplish nothing.
  • Leggo my eggo, ne?
  • Thunder, you’re not as useless as I thought.
  • Mir: so boyish and yet so much swag.
  • G.O.‘s falsetto makes me melt; but his haircut doesn’t.
  • 2:43-2:50 killed the song. And not in a good way. Please see “Male Prima Donna” by Subtle Sexuality at 1:56 to 2:02.

I’ve been rooting for MBLAQ since their debut. And with each release since then, they’re getting better and better and “Mona Lisa” is definitely a badge of progress. But for these boys, their live performances have always been their undoing. Hopefully however, the progress they’ve delivered in the production also extends to their performance.

    Okay, what is up with Thunder wearing a skirt the whole time?? And is it just me, or does Seungho look like a creeper with that hair??

    • Mayumi

      Seungho is a gorgeous, gorgeous boy, but that hair is a sin against humanity or something. Page the Kpop industry and tell them to hire new stylists!

      • Merewen

        I agree. Seungho is gorgeous and I don’t think the stylist EVER know what to do with him. I have never liked any of his hairstyles, but he’s still my favorite.

        Can someone please explain to me what’s up with the dudes wearing leggings? I am not feeling that… ON ANY MALE.

  • twizzler

    They have actually been doing lives quite well since their last promotion.

    Why is it that everything that Subi writes is super negative? I get that its an opinion but it really just seems nit-picky

    • prec

      No, I think Subi liked this song. In the bit after the bullet points it seems that he or she liked it. I just think some of it was supposed to be funny observations.

  • adqwfs

    Thunder looks really hot in there! he grew muscles. I was kind of staring at him through out the whole vid.xD

    • Kyana

      I know me too. I guess his mission to develop more muscle on raising idols worked out for him.

  • Xia

    I really like this song and think MBLAQ is definitely keeping up their steady progression to getting better, but this MV kinda was so typical it didn’t wow me.

    Though I have to admit that Mir and Thunder LOOK GREAT in this MV! Can’t say the same for the others though. I mean, WTH is up with Seungho’s hair? It looks like a crimp iron with scissors attacked it. Lee Joon is wearing too much eyeliner as usual. And G.O…please grow your facial hair back. You look so much manlier with it!

  • in young

    like this new concept. have always liked mblaq. now, thunder gives me more of a reason to do so, with those muscles of his. the teaser was fine, hoping to watch the entire thing soon. but seriously, seungho’s hair? did his stylist actually think that looked ok on him?!

  • Kyana

    They don’t release stuff as frequently as BEAST but when they do release something it never fails to catch my attention. I really like this song and video they all look so good too. Especially Thunder

  • dfadskjf

    mblaq’s REALLY GOOD at live ever since their stay/cry promos… dont get what this sobi person is talking about… seriously ive been on seoulbeats ever since 09… and they always try to sound funny/sarcastic xcept they suck at it and it comes out really effed up. how couold those few seconds kill the song? if it was a random metal scream then yeah sure that’d be wierd as hell… but its not a major bad thing. i thot u liked this song? but then u said those few seconds killed it. wtf

    Wow, I like it. I enjoyed the song more than the MV, though; the latter was a bit too bland for my liking. MBLAQ’s first releases were a bit iffy, but they’ve definitely improved since “Oh Yeah” and show that they are continuing to do so.

  • Nana

    Why do they always put Thunder in skirts/skirt-like clothing? That too is a crime against humanity.

  • Aya

    ….not really into it, but quite like it. everything are..ok, except those skirt and short with legging with…*wait for it* motifs watdebak?! and pleaaseee whats with the flag short?

  • procast

    These boys have made some incredible comeback songs but still have yet to win 1st place. It’s sad that they lose to fan clubs that vote for their favorites, regardless of how good their song sounds.
    I wonder if music charts will ever go back to being purely about the music and not just about voting for the most popular idol..
