During a recent interview for their 7th mini album, they were asked to comment on MBLAQ's current status after Lee Joon's decision not to renew his contract with his label and Thunder's possible leave from the company as well.

The boys answered, "We were shocked by the news. But to be honest, it's not something we can comment on too much. It must have happened because their contract period is over."

They added, "We are close with the MBLAQ members, but since it's a sensitive topic, we feel like we shouldn't ask even more." They said, "We're thankful to them because they're a group we were constantly pitted against. Because we were always compared, both of us got a lot of help at the start of our debut. We're sad about it. We hope everything works out well."
