They do sound pop balladish but they're not considered pop ballad or whatever maybe because they play a lot of guitar and piano. I think I have to review the album ^^
I was listening to it the whole day today smile.gif
They have a movie(live concert or something) coming out on the 30th, info here : http://movie.daum.net/play/detail/main.do?playId=9546

anywho here are some more pictures ^^

I'm loving the song. Also the rest of the songs I found in youtube.
And the singer's voice, <333
Hyun Jae looks mixed. And he makes a really good model.

I'll be keeping an eye out for any updates from them.
Thanks for the thread, Mardi!

Heon Il loves his guitar and he's really great at it too. Maybe next time I will upload his fancams of him playing his awesome guitar ^^
The second video is basically a close up of Hyun Jae, the drummer. He is a model, he modeled before the debut but during modeling he was part of Mate, so it was like....a side job?

As far as we know, the drummer Lee Hyun Jae is not mixed. I can't find any info on whether he is or not yet.

Dude...totally add me in their fandom. I've been spazzing about them for the past 2 minutes!!! Just found about them laugh.gif
Totally my style of music when I go away from the world of kpop. Glad to see some of this type of music here/there in Korea.
I'm gonna stalk this thread now and gonna find a way to buy that album. Does anyone know where I can find it cause I love their song 'It's Alright' already?

P.S. - these guys are easy on the eyes...like dhowieehf HOT XD

I recommend listening to Come Back To Me. It's one of the best songs on the album, although all the songs are pretty nice smile.gif

OMG I just listened to the entire album,
I absolutely love EVERY single one of their songs<3
I am so amazed because it's rare when I love every single song on an album!
They're refreshing to the KPop world<3
Thanks so much for making this thread

^^ ahh thanks. I just re-looked at the first post and found the link to yesasia XD Thanks anyways.

Also, are they gonna like 'debut' as in perform on any performance stages like Mnet, Inkigayo etc.? Or no information yet cause they're really low-key or just really new to the kpop world??? And I'm probably asking questions that you guys probably have no clue what the answers are laugh.gif

I don't know if they will actually perform on music shows. You don't really see many indie bands performing there, mostly Kpop artistes only.
But...while we hope and pray that they do ^^
here are some pictures of Hyun Jae. There are MANY MANY more but I will give you guys a sneak peek for now smile.gif
I'll be back with more in a bit biggrin.gif


And....NO! The White/Caucasian people are not his parents. The guy's name is Glen Hansard. I think he helps them or something? But he's not the parent of Hyun Jae, for sure. he is really Korean, from the childhood photos shown below.

Their music is refreshing to listen to. Don't get me wrong, I love my K-Indie music, but Mate's totally stealing the spotlight of my heart right now <3

I love the vocals. Soothing.

^^ Kind of wish they would perform on music shows cause they bring something different to the stage. I actually like them also cause it takes me awhile to like some artists, based off of their songs and stuff. But, this group really got me a spazzing and looking up their songs on youtube, which they have quite a few. But, if they don't I hope people will see how talented they are biggrin.gif Oh, and thanks for the pics of Hyun Jae, he does look like he's mix, but I guess he's not (?)

I guess he is full Korean. The non-Korean men were there to help them with their music, I am guessing.
Here are some more pictures. Yes, this page will be image heavy. And maybe the next one too.
The only pictures left of Hyun Jae I need to get are his modeling pics then I'll move onto Heon Il's pics smile.gif
which I'm eager to see too ^^

I've been an 'indie' (i'll just call it k-underground) fan for a while now. Not too long but not too short of a time either.
I haven't listened to much but I really do enjoy this album that they have released. It's not totally different but it's not similar either.








































**sorry but I have to add this or else someone'll jack all my photos and information that i have provided. i don't want to have to put watermarks on them, so for now they won't have watermarks but if I do see them out there somewhere w/out credits back to me and Hyun Jae's cyworld or any other credits I have provided, everything will be watermarked. Thanks for understanding.**
