MBLAQ’s Pre-Debut Photos

Rain's new boy band, MBLAQ, has been causing a stir as they've captured the attention of many and climbed their way up the charts with their debut single, "Oh Yeah". The five-member group has been nicknamed "Chic-doll", meaning "handsome idol", but were they always this good looking? If you think that this question remains a mystery, think again. We all know we have the netizens to do all the dirty work for us!

Usually when pre-debut pictures surface, they either make you nod and think "She looks exactly the same!" or, you shake your head and go, "What the hell? That looks nothing like him! He must've gotten surgery!" Unfortunately, or fortunately, the fellas of MBLAQ don't really have interesting pre-debut pictures - no one had a dramatic weight loss, obvious surgery, or scandalous photos.

Check out the boys of MBLAQ before they had you singing "oh yeah" all day long:

Leader Yang Seung Ho looks pretty much the same despite the hairdo.



Lee Joon's ab-flashing has gotten many fangirls going wild, but his school pictures show that he was just an average old boy before. Well, if you count modeling and starring in an upcoming Hollywood film, Ninja Assassin, before debuting in an idol group average.



Lead vocalist, Jung Byung Hee a.k.a. G.O was actually in the band TYKEYS before debuting with MBLAQ. TYKEYS was a trio consisting of two males and a female - all three who had some serious vocal skills. Check out G.O below during his pre-MBLAQ days, although the guy looks almost exactly the same.

Most of you guys probably have seen Cheon Doong or Thunder in IU's covers of hit songs. Those hardworking netizens also found screencaps of a younger Thunder with his sister, 2NE1's Sandara Park, when she was a part of KBS' "Human Theater – My Name is Sandara Park".



Lastly is Bang Chulyong or MBLAQ's Mir. We previously posted pictures of him and his famous sister, Go Eun Ah (real name: Bang Hyojin), and it seems like there are plenty of pre-debut pictures of this rapper. Many netizens have noted that Mir has a striking resemblance to F.T. Island's Hong Ki and after looking at his selca pictures, I won't deny it. However, his other pictures are...interesting, which makes me wonder - did Mir voluntary take these photos or did his sister force him to? Oh, and yes, that's Mir in the blue dress and a wig.





Although the members of MBLAQ appear to have always been good looking, do remember that in some cases, such as Taecyeon of 2PM, that isn't always the case. So, in the future when you're sitting next to a nerd or a socially awkward person in class, remember, one day they might just grow up to be in an idol group. After all, a brand new hairstyle, wardrobe, and make-up does wonders.
