Even though MBLAQ has already disbanded, the five-member group still holds a special place in fans' hearts. That's why when it was discovered that their old trophies are being sold at a flea market, the situation didn't sit well with fans and the boys themselves.
A photo posted on social media website Instiz riled up fans of the now defunct MBLAQ it showed as boy group's trophies from music shows and award giving bodies being sold at a flea market. The one who uploaded the video further claimed that J. Tune Entertainment, the group's former agency, deliberately threw out the items, Koreaboo wrote.
One of the trophies identified was MBLAQ's "M! Countdown" win for their song "Y," which was the first victory on a music show since their debut. Another trophy was said to be the one they received from a talk show called "Strong Heart."
The members of MBLAQ were also not happy about the incident. They had also apologized to the fans for what happened. G.O. and Mir, who are currently serving in the military, found out about the news and saw the photo, Koreaboo reported. Sources say the two were heartbroken to see their trophies disposed in such manner.
J. Tune has since apologized for the incident, explaining that the trophies were misplaced after they were transfer from the main building to a warehouse in Gyeonggi Province. As to how the trophies got out of the warehouse and made its way to the flea market, the agency was not able to provide any explanation, but held the storage company responsible for its return.
MBLAQ debuted in 2009 with members Lee Joon, Mir, G.O., Seungho and Thunder. Lee Joon and Thunder left the group in 2014 to focus on their solo careers. The remaining members-Mir, Seungho and G.O-continue to promote as a trio.
