The next day, the group made their broadcast debut on M.net's M! Countdown with "Oh Yeah". In July 2011, MBLAQ revealed that they would release a mini-album titled Mona Lisa.

Tokyo, aired in early 2010, showing the public their experience in Japanese culture and traditions over a period of four days. On December 15, 2009, it was announced that the group would be part of Season five of the Idol Show (Hangul: 아이돌 군단의 떴다! 그녀!, which translates to Idol Army, She Has Arrived!), with the first episode airing a day later.[3] MBLAQ filmed a total of 16 episodes.
To coincide with the 2010 FIFA World Cup, MTV Korea created a program where members of male idol groups formed a soccer team to compete against other soccer teams.[4] The 14-member team consisted of members from U-KISS, ZE:A, F.Cuz, and D-NA (Dae Guk Nam Ah), with Seungho and his fellow Mblaq members Joon and Mir.At the end of May, MBLAQ participated in GOMTV's Making the Artist, a small documentary on their life as artists.[5] MBLAQ filmed a total of four episodes documenting their promotions for Y. Following their promotions for Y, MBLAQ were cast in the final series of M.Net's 'Celebrities Go to School'.[6] Their mentor for the show is actor Kim Soo-Ro. The show started airing in August 2010.
