During their comeback showcase on June 9, the remaining three members of MBLAQ discussed the hardships they've been enduring up to this point.  

When asked about how they've been, Seung Ho said, "To tell the truth, we had an extremely hard time and it was also hard because we were reorganizing things in preparation for a new [MBLAQ], but after putting things in order and finding a new image, I regained strength."

G.O said, "I was having a very hard time mentally, so I denied reality, lived in a virtual reality, and have now returned.  It's a game.  If I don't focus on something, I keep thinking of bad things, so I cleared my mind and had to do something.  As that time got longer, I reflected a lot.  I think I had lived taking the interest and love in the past for granted. Now, I'm living with more feeling."

Mir added, "Six difficult months passed.  I did not even go outside often.  I went down to the rural area and even became one with nature."

It seems, although the boys are vaguely avoiding the subject of what actually gave them a hard time, that they were in some turmoil or at least a slump since the departure of two members, Lee Joon and Thunder, but as you can see from the awesome new mini-album, 'Mirror,' the boys seem to be back on track with what the group represents.
