[article] MBLAQ check.
— Cloud cover by: Stephe, Managing Editor ^@@^
Wow, look at all the haterade in the Rainiverse, huh (please note my heavy sarcasm). But not between Rain and MBLAQ. Or Rain and JYP, from the looks of today’s “Brothers & Me” music video. Exactly what are people reading these days? And why did all of this dissension between fans mysteriously stir up right at recruitment time? Could you have all picked a worse moment? (Pssst… the answer is no.) 
A huge thanks to AbsoluteMBLAQ for getting this translated. ^^ Nice article! We like.

MBLAQ Talks About Rain for Crea Star Magazine
The members of MBLAQ talked about how Rain was involved on their recent album.
Despite his usual busy schedule Rain is always thinking about MBLAQ according to G.O.
Even though the main song was not written by him, the members commented that Rain was fully involved during the production of their new album. G.O revealed that Rain wanted to let the boys create a different types of songs so it was necessary to leave the style from their hyung. But this does not mean that he completely left during the production of the album. Rain was involved in the creation of the song by monitoring the guys and also checking their MV. G.O continued saying that he also pointed their weak points and the areas they were not doing which helped them grow.
Seung Ho later mentioned that during their hiatus the boys fell into a slump but Rain was the one who gave them power and helped them overcome that situation.
He also mentioned that Rain does not say many words but by the simple phrase ‘This time you can definitely do this’ helped the boys get confidence.
It is so nice to see how Rain want to see the boys develop their own style but still remains near them so he can always help the members of MBLAQ.

I read something on another site about MBlaq talking crap about Rain and people complaining or some craziness like that. Something about they’re not respectful enough?? Anyway… I don’t get the whole thing coz I rolled my eyes and didn’t bother to read on about it but I have one question:
Don’t they give Rain a hard time IN FRONT of Rain? Hasn’t he thought it was amusing? Am I imagining things? Anyway… that’s all. 🙂

Diva,
LOL. No, you are NOT imagining things. Rain is obviously aware of all of their silliness, and I’m sure he understands that the things they said were all in fun. Unfortunately, some people just aren’t that smart.
It’s like when Rain says something funny in jest and everybody takes him seriously and we have to say, “Oh my GOSH, people, he was JOKING.” This whole situation is ridiculous, but there is a real fan war going on over in Korea about this issue, apparently. I, myself, am going to stay out of it, because I think it’s STOOPID.

Yeah, what Terri said.
And for the love of heaven, any fighting had better not come here. Difference of opinions and discussions are one thing… warring and demeaning people are quite another, and nobody wants to see me go DEFCON 1 over my territory. Just sayin’.

And I wouldn’t blame you one bit. That’s one of the things I like the most about this site: that there’s not all that negativity… we’re all here to enjoy Rain and have fun while we’re doing it and become friends in the process.

@Diva and Terri,
Its more than just MBlaq joking around with Rain or picking on him in public. He does it to them too. Like when he was on Happy Time with Lee Joon or on Strong Heart with G.O. They pick on each other, and I’ve only ever seen them enjoying it. That’s one of the things I love most about the Rain/MBlaq dynamic. I thought the Happy Time and Strong Heart episodes were hilariously awesome (and not just because Rain ripped his pants, lol)! I loved seeing him interact with Lee Joon and G.O., and not just as a producer and mentor, but as a friend too, so I loved that they could pick on each other.
Here in the States it’s called Bickering, or Bantering. I guess it’s not something people do a lot of in Korea, since everyone seems to be upset about it… Personally, I think you have to be really close to someone to be able to pick on each other for fun, and I think that’s what they’re all doing. I do it with my close friends all the time and we have a grand old time. We might as well be siblings, and I think that’s how Rain and MBlaq are, except that Rain is just the oldest of the bunch. I say, keep up the bickering and bantering boys!

I totally agree with you Jelyba… Those are a few of the places I’ve seen him and MBlaq give each other a hard time and it just reminds me of my friends and I or my cousins and I. I’m not sure what people in Korea or seeing or reading but I find it refreshingly amusing.

I think that’s a good thing. Jihoon is trying to see what the boys can do.

I got no doubts that Mblaq and Rain’s relationship is nothing less than family. The boys love and respect Rain as their elder brother and to Rain those boys are like sons. People can said what they want but that won’t change a bit the true; they are a very close family.

SO AGREE!!!!

I guess I am out of the loop because I have not read anything negative about MBLAQ hating on Rain. I am so glad that I have not been reading that garbage. Anyway @Marisara I totally agree with what you said. I have always gotten the impression from MBLAQ and Rain that they are a close family. When ever they talk about him they always talk highly and respectful of him. Unless it comes from Rain or MBLAQ I will not believe any negative comments.

Who’s hating who and why? What’s there to even hate about? Sometimes I don’t get people… Everything looks good to me! Rain and MBlaq are so awesome together! And throw JYP into the mix and its practically perfection, in my opinion.
