After less than a year, the MCND boys return to Brazil this month for concerts in Porto Alegre (RS) and Belo Horizonte (MG) with the tour “MCND World Adventures 2023”, and the K4US team had the opportunity to have a super cool chat with the quintet! The boys talked about their return to our country, expectations for the new show, their new album and what the musical and creative process is like behind the scenes. Check out the full interview below
In less than a year you are returning to Brazil, how are you feeling coming to our country for the second time?
Minjae: I am very happy to meet you again and I want to show you the presentations that we are trying really hard to prepare. Doing these shows means a lot to me and I hope our fans feel the same way watching the show.
BIC: I didn’t think we would see each other again in less than a year. I’m really excited to show our presentation soon. I will do my best to make the show even livelier and more fun than last year.
What are your expectations for this return to the country?
Huijun:I’m really looking forward to hearing the Gems sing with us. I think the fans’ singing warms up the live house a lot. I want to feel all that energy and give a great performance with a lot of positive energy.
Win: I’m really looking forward to hearing the fans singing along with us. I was very moved to see them singing so loudly. I want to feel all the excitement I felt last time.
Talking a little bit about your first visit here, there were four different cities, which must have yielded a lot of cool and interesting things. What is the most special memory you have/have of this first trip?
BIC: We have a song called “Back to You”, we sang it in Brazil last year. Fans turned on their cell phone lights at the time of the song, it was very emotional and I keep thinking about seeing it again.
Now that you’re back for the second time, besides the shows, what else would you like to do here?
Castle J: If so, I wanted to relax a little with the other members. I want to eat delicious local food and go to different places.
Being in contact with a culture completely different from yours must be very cool or even unusual. Do you have any stories in this regard to tell us?
Win: There was one time that we couldn’t communicate well because of the difference in languages. I remember trying to communicate with mimicry.
MCND is an abbreviation for “Music Creates New Dream”. What dream has each of you been able to fulfill thanks to working with music?
BIC: I fulfilled my dream of debuting with MCND. Now I’m trying to improve step by step, without stopping.
Huijun: I have fans who love my music. I think my dream came true by having people who support me and share with me the music I want to make.

Is there a musical style that you would like to bet on at some point as a group?
Huijun: I want to try something sexier. I’ve never tried something with a style like that. Our youngest is of age, he is more mature than before, physically and mentally, so I think he can play this style well.
Minjae: I want to try something more calm and melodic. I think we’ve been betting a lot on stronger sounds and presentations. If we do something quieter, you can see another side of MCND.
How is the behind-the-scenes work for the conception of each of these discs?
BIC: We prepare a lot for each album. At first, I was very nervous because I had a lot of things to pay attention to, but now all the members understand each other well and the work flows very easily.
Win: I think a lot about what kind of album the GEM will like and I rehearse a lot with the other members, often to get good results.
And the question that fans most yearn for an answer: when will we have the third chapter of “The Earth: Secret Mission”?
Castle J: We are also very curious to know when we will have new chapters! We will strive to bring you a new album soon, please look forward to it!
Minjae: We want to bring a third chapter as soon as possible too! As you are waiting, we will prepare an album that won’t let you down!
Finally, what can we expect from MCND in this show?
Castle J: We have prepared special performances for fans to enjoy a lot. Please look forward to what we are going to prepare!
Huijun: For this show, we’re going to show something new that MCND has never shown before. We prepared good presentations, so wait and see!
