MCND is a group full of energy! They exactly know what they want and like to do.

# about__The Dance Cover of Justin Bieber’s “Second Emotion.”

Q. Recently, MCND’s fans were very excited about the project “PMG (Play Music Ground)” that has been revealed. You guys showed Justin Bieber’s “Second Emotion” in a cover dance video!! Fans praised the video; Every member seems like the main dancer! How did MCND get to start this dance video?

MCND

We like Justin Bieber’s music and often listen to it. We all like “Second Emotion,” so we looked for a choreography video, and it was cool. We liked the choreography that it was free and edged. Also, it was chill and refined. So, we thought that we could show it well through our performances, that’s why we made “PMG.”

Q. In addition to the transformation of the original choreography, you guys made the choreography in your style. Justin Bieber’s “Justice” is a great hit recently. Do you have any plans to do a cover dance that incorporates MCND’s style as a hit song from ‘Justice’?

MCND

“Justice” is an album we also enjoy listening to! Many great songs such as “Peaches” and “Holy,” and we like the deluxe version so much that I listen to it often. We want to recreate some tracks with our identity. If we have a chance, we would like to express our creativity with dancing, singing, or rap. When our mind is set, we’ll try it.

Q. If Justin Bieber is watching MCND’s “Second Emotion” Cover dance video, what would you like to say?

Castle J

It’ll be such an honor! I hope you like it!! I want to tell you that I am a huge fan. If I have a chance someday, I would like to meet you and talk about music!

BIC

I want to say thank you so much for watching the video. It’s an honor, and I want to tell you that I always support you!!

MINJAE

I often listen to your music, and I would like to say that we are all fans.

HUIJUN

I think the music is perfect to dance on!! I really would like someday we could work together if we have the chance!!

WIN

 I admire you as an artist. We could have made the performance because of your great work. Thank you!!

# about__MCND and Private Talks!

Q. Since the beginning of this year, you have been running hard related to “MCND AGE.” Already in a lot of videos, and you guys showed energetic performances with the track “Not Over”! What is the secret to showing such an energetic performance?

Castle J

I think our teamwork is the driving force behind MCND!

BIC

I think it’s because we always try to improve without getting tired and enjoy what we do!!

MINJAE

I think it’s thanks to the energy that doesn’t cool down.

HUIJUN

I think it’s because we know each other well and we have good chemistry!!

WIN

It’s happiness. I think I am full of energy because I feel happy when I am on the stage.

Q. MCND has done quite a long term while also working as a track for “Not Over.” I am curious what the meaning of “MCND AGE” will remain for you. If you look back at the MCND AGE album now, what will be the first memories?

Castle J

After the promotions are over, I regret at least one thing thinking, “What if I would have done this, would’ve it been better?” but I think I wouldn’t regret it as much since I’ve enjoyed it this time. I liked this album because it confirmed MCND’s musical color and direction. 

BIC

I think this album gave me a chance to look back on the past year.

MINJAE

It was an album that was able to summarize our view of the world.

HUIJUN

When I first heard “Crush,” I remember thinking, ‘Oh, this feels like we can nail it!!!’ and “Not Over” we were busy because we are still promoting the song.

WIN

I think it’s the most reliable album among MCND’s career. We worked hard and had fun on every stage, so the stage was the most memorable thing.

Q.  Castle J wrote two songs in this mini album and composed and arranged “Outro: ㅁㅊㄴㄷ.” We believe it’s an album that maximizes individual abilities. What would be the ultimate MCND’s goal and image that Castle J thinks of as a leader through this album?

Castle J

Our album has a lot of Hip-hop tracks. I am glad that we showed our favorite genre through this album. MCND’s goal is to show our unique music and performances, not someone else’s second or third. And to give energy to people!

Q. MCND had a signing event on your first face-to-face with your fans. MCND members and Gems must have been looking forward to that moment. Do you have a memorable reaction or memories from the event?

Castle J

My father lives in Jeju Island, so we went to Jeju Island before the face-to-face event. Since our debut, it was the first official meeting with our fans, so we bought Jeju chocolate and gave them to our Gems as a little gift. 

BIC

I had such a great, great time! Thank you so much for coming to see us. Everyone loved us no matter what we did. That was a really precious moment for us.

MINJAE

I was so nervous since it was our first time meeting our fans. But I think our fans were as nervous as us! As time went by, I gradually enjoyed the situation, and we had such a wonderful time.

HUIJUN

I really wanted to look into our fans’ eyes. It was memorable to look into each and everyone’s eyes and see each other.

WIN

Since it was our first time for everybody it was kind of awkward at first. But I was happy to finally meet our fans.

Q. Are there any artists you would like to collaborate with?

Castle J

Any artist that would make a good team with us is welcome!

BIC

Penomeco’s collaboration with other artists was so good. We would like to work with him if we have the chance!

MINJAE

If I have the chance, Justin Bieber.

HUIJUN

I would like to work with all the artists out there if I have the chance!!!

WIN

If we can make a valuable creation together, any artist would be fine.
