Korean idols G.O and Mir of boy band MBLAQ will perform as a duo unit for the first time in Korea at their concert this weekend.

G.O and Mir will perform the sub-unit's duet song "Wild" at the Seoul leg of "THE BLAQ% TOUR," which will be held at the Seoul's Olympic Hall on July 21 and 22, according to CJ E&M's press release Tuesday.

The weekend's concert is the fourth stop of "The BLAQ% TOUR" and the boys already performed to "Wild" at the Indonesia leg of the Asia tour on June 30.

CJ E&M added that member Cheon-dung will stage his solo performance of "Don't Go" (translated title), which he took part in composing and writing.

"We have received favorable responses toward the boys' performances. We hope that the local fans will enjoy them as well," an official from their agency, J.Tune Camp, was quoted as saying.

After wrapping up the run in Seoul, MBLAQ is set to open four sets of "THE BLAQ% TOUR" in Japan-- two sets each in Osaka and Tokyo -- on July 26.

MBLAQ -- composed of Seung-ho, G.O., Lee Joon, Cheon-dung and Mir -- made their debut with the first single "JUST BLAQ" in 2009.
