Rain shares a song with MBLAQ.

At the recording of Kim Jae-Dong’s Mnet show recently, Rain revealed that the title track of MBLAQ’s upcoming album was actually to have been the title track of special album Back To The Basic, but that the song fit their comeback theme much better. (That is the mark of a good producer—always thinking ahead and outside of the box.) As we understand it, MBLAQ’s new album will drop the second week in May. Is everyone ready?

Here is a clip from that part of the recording, with Rain talking about his young protégés.

Rain: Although MBLAQ are new singers, they’ve become one of Korea’s best-loved idol groups and have worked hard. They’ll begin working as singers with their new album at the beginning of May.

There is a song selected as the title track for their new album, but which was to become the title track for my special album, but I was willing to offer the song to them. It looks good for their comeback that much.

What I want them to do is that they never give up no matter how difficult it is, and that they never get hurt, with or without their success. So I hope they’ll also [develop the same ]strong will power I’ve thankfully had after all the obstacles that life presents me.
