MBLAQ [J.Tune Camp]

All five members of boy band MBLAQ will show up on cable music channel Mnet's "M! CountDown" today to give their first performance of their new song "Again."

An official at the boy's agency J.Tune Entertainment told 10Asia over the phone on Thursday that both Lee Joon and Mir, who recently have been in bad health, will take to the stage of the weekly music program to take part in promoting the 3D edition of their first full-length album "BLAQ Style" release on Tuesday.

"Lee Joon is doing much better now so he will have no problem performing on stage today," the official said of the singer who had been unable to perform on televised shows last week due to a problem with his cochlea.

However, she added that Mir will not be able to dance since he is still recovering from a back injury for which he recently underwent surgery. "It'll be a while before he can dance again because he was in such bad shape before."

MBLAQ, also composed of members Seung-ho, Cheon Dung and G.O. debuted in 2009 under the training of Asian pop sensation Rain.

Their latest release "Stay" from the regular version of ablum "BLAQ Style" had topped various online and offline music charts since its release in early January.
