MBLAQ is a Korean boy band under pop star Rain's agency, J.Tune Camp.
It is composed of Seungho, Lee Joon, G.O, Mir and Cheondung, the brother of 2NE1 member Sandara Park. MBLAQ debuted in the Korean music scene in 2009.
Cheondung and Sandara were born in South Korea but grew up in the Philippines.
Cheondung studied at the Philippine Pasay Chung Hua Academy.
In his video message for the event, Cheondung spoke in English and Filipino.
"Hi, guys. Sobrang excited na akong makita ulit kayo (I'm very excited to see you again)," he said in the message posted on YouTube.
Since moving to Korea in 2007, Cheondung has not visited the Philippines and the Manila event will provide him the opportunity to reconnect with his friends.

"Because we are preparing for the concert for you, I hope that the concert, with your enthusiasm, will really be enjoyable. Let us meet in Manila, Philippines!" he said in a YouTube video posted by the Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines.
