I wish they had perform another song from their album, the performance was def too short, but oh well D:

[Guest wassereis]

yesterday Mate were on Sketchbook again. It feels like seeing them after a long time, kind of XD;;;

YHY Sketchbook - Mate - 하늘을 날아

YHY Sketchbook - Mate - man in the mirror

YHY Sketchbook - Mate - 그럴때 마다 (feat Oh Ji Eun)

and I found a video of their video shooting. they're so cute XD~

they started some evening (when it was cold) and the shooting went until 2pm the next day o_o

at some point Heon Il looks really tired (it's about 5am) and HyunJae is kinda jumping around XD

oh, and it seems Joon Il played in the drama '다함께 차차차' ('All rogether Cha Cha Cha' or sth like this) *_* need to see. haha

[Guest saranghae24]

i was able to watch them on Sketchbook last night, but the quality wasn't that good. ><

oohh, the shooting of the MV! yay! haven't seen that yet. thanks for sharing!!

[Guest imcalledalauda]

wassereis, thank you for the videos! I loved that they performed 하늘을 나라 again. It's my favorite song by them. x)

According to Music Bank's twitter, Mate will be performing there again this week!

I wonder what they'll be playing…

imcalledalauda, I know D: I like watching them performing this song over and over again. more than 그리워 actually Xp

yepp, they performed on Music Bank :'D

they performed a shortened version of 그리워 again.

Music Bank - 그리워

and, I missed it. Joon Il and Heon Il got their radio corners! D:

Joon Il is every sunday on a corner called '다시 만난 음악 세계' (guess it's from soshi's title '다시 만난 세계' so to translate it in a contence it would be 'into a new music world' 8D) at Taeyeon's chinhan chingu.

pics from the 23rd I've stolen from the soshi thread :x

and Joon Il and Heon Il have a corner at 'Blue Night' called '꿈꾸는 다락방' ('dreaming loft'? @_@) every sunday.

(both programs on mbc)

[Guest wassereis]

uh, I haven't kept up on them for a while.

They will have a third concert. it will be four days long, 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th December. Merry Christmas~~

ticket open is 29th for people who are interested. (anyone here going? >_>)

also, they will have a new album coming January~February and they will show new songs on the concert *__*

[Guest imcalledalauda]

New album?! *dances*

Wow, I'm actually very excited for new songs by them. I haven't found myself able to say that for anyone in a while.

Man, I only wish I could go to their concert. (Maybe there will be fancams to tide me over…)

Thanks for the info, wassereis!

[Guest wassereis]

HyunJae cut his hair and I think he looks far better with that style than with the long hair. He looks really good actually.

in some hours is ticket opening for 3 of 4 performances of their concert. wonder how fast they'll be gone D:

[Guest wassereis]

I think there are still a lot of tickets o_o but a lot went rigth after the ticket opening

Rock band Mate was chosen as exclusive models of the jewelry brand LUSUS.

Mate received a high interest with their title song 'Miss/Longing' and also songs like 'Fly to the Sky', 'I love you', 'Lean.. on you' etc from their debut Album released in spring 2009. They are a talented rock band with their album on rank 1 of the newcomer band’s album sales.

Not just their abilities, also their outward appearance is outstanding; drummer Lee Hyun Jae is also active as model for various brands like UGIZ, Cold Stone, Nikon etc.

A representative of LUSUS stated "searching for a strong, delicate and high ranking like model, we saw Mate's performance and we thought that all three are qualified for this position and proposed them to become exclusive models." and "especially fitting the image and slogan of 'with Mate together the luck comes', we plan to design a special jewelry with a symbol containing a clover with Mate's logo."

On the other side Mate is preparing for their Concert 'It's Christmas Mate' from 23rd until 26th December.

Mate is receiving high attention with their advanced concert ticket selling rising on rank 3 in just a few days. Right after the ticket open on 29th at 2pm 1000 tickets were sold in advance through Interpark, threatening the top ranking of advanced sells in just one day and receiving high interest from music fans.

Vocal and guitar Im Heon Il says "We plan to show a different sound to make the Christmas festival brighter" and "with a special sound we will make the performance stay keep in the audience’s hearts"

Omo wow that new hair! I'm kind of glad b/c personally i'm not a fan of long hair. But wow he looks so boyish. I think it's his tiny face and the way his hair curls… I guess the curly hair is natural then?

It's funny, I read the text ("Hyunjae cut his hair") first and couldn't remember for a second who was who… scrolled down a bit, saw Heonil and Joonil (but I couldn't remember their names) and thought maybe it was Joonil (because it looks like he has cut his hair)… then scrolled down some more and was like "Oh yeah he's Hyunjae OMO his hair." lol

(But I don't like Heonil's dyed hair… personal preference, I know, but I just like natural black hair on Asians. )

Oh and thank you for the article translation! Jewelry? interesting…

Man, what I wouldn't give to attend their concert. I imagine it'll be amazing… I'm glad they're apparently quite successful in Korea. I selfishly wish they could perform on more music shows b/c that's really the only way I get to see them perform, but oh well.

And their concert poster is cute.

[Guest Nyanko]

I hope this wasn't posted ^^

Joon Il and Heon Il participated in the OST for "After the Banquet". Not sure if it is a drama or movie, but d-addicts lists it under "Telecinema".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxagilfVIEY

Edit// I suppose Telecinema is a series of TV movies or something, and After the Banquet is one of them. Love the song though!

[Guest Nyanko]
