"first promote MBLAQ and TWO X well and then debut a new artist.."

There are hundreds of comments like this on the sites advertising the fact that J Tune Camp is debuting a new hiphop duo called Pro C. There are even these comments on the teaser for Pro C's debut (link below). But what really upsets me, is the facts that many fans, not just those of MBLAQ, do not understand or simply deny for their own benefit.

" I'm a hardcore A+ and of course I support new artist from J.Tune Camp but ... promote MBLAQ and Two-X more until they gain the popularity they deserve ... MBLAQ is so underrated :"( they need more attention !!!"

Listen carefully everyone. MBLAQ is NOT an underrated group. They are Hallyu wave stars. Think about it. They are one of the few groups that did Hello Baby, have amazing musical and celebrity connections and are recognised by the best of the industry seniors.

I really agree with how everyone thinks J Tune should promote Two X more, but not about MBLAQ. In Korea, MBLAQ is quite famous already and the promotions that everyone says they need are NOT necessary, because the members themselves are very self-providing. Joon and Mir are one of the top variety idols, G.O and Cheondung are improving so much musically and all the members have improved so much through their own means. This is not to say that J Tune doesn't have any importance to the development of MBLAQ, but rather to say that to promote MBLAQ, they do not need to be prancing around on TV and joking around all the time. They are musically talented people and they are learning their talents so that is how they are promoting themselves now. They are growing.

With Two X, there were more mistakes than right. They were promoted badly yes, but the songs themselves weren't that great. Personally, Double Up was really cute for their debut. Their image seemed strong and reminded me almost of SISTAR. However, Ring Ma Bell was nothing special to me. The girls obviously have potential. Ring Marks is their best song to date, but J Tune unfortunately did not promote it as a follow-up song. If they promote a stronger, more intense image like Ring Marks suggests they have, they'll be fine. As for variety, the girls need their own show, like MBLAQ had debuted with Idol Army, where they can quickly learn the ways of variety.

In the case of Pro C, I'm seriously excited for so many reasons. Allow me to list a few:

1. Two words. HIP. HOP. 
2. K.Will is featuring in the song, which is called 'Bad Memories' (My rough translation, sorry if I got it wrong)
3. The remote chance of Kim Sanbae being a member. If you are a hardcore MBLAQ fan like me, you'll know about him. Ex-member, he left soon before debut and Cheondung had joined 14 days prior October 17th. Oh Yeah remains my favourite title song till date, simply because to me, Kim Sangbae is always going to be a part of MBLAQ (until he returns at least) and the song and music video mean so much to me because of it. Right now, I'm praying he's one of the two members, because this boy has swagger.

I hope I made a few things clear to everyone. To reiterate, MBLAQ is NOT underrated. They are underrated overseas, but not in Korea, which is why J Tune doesn't need to be constantly pushing out albums out of them. Two X IS underrated. Give Pro C a chance before you hate on J Tune Camp for not, and I qoute, "promoting and taking their groups more seriously and vigourously". J Tune is one of the BEST companies in Korea for how they take care of their artists. They don't work them to death and respect their artistic choices. Think before you type people.

If you think I'm wrong or right or simply have an opinion, put it down there in the comment box and let me know what you think about this :)
