MCnd

MCND, often stylized as MCND and sometimes read casually as MCnd, is a South Korean boy band formed by TOP Media in 2020. The group’s name is short for Music Creates New Dream, a label of their artistic direction toward energetic, aspirational pop and hip-hop. The five members are Castle J (leader and rapper), BIC (rapper), Minjae (vocal), Q (vocal and rapper), and Win (vocal).

MCND made their official debut in February 2020 with the digital single Ice Age and the mini-album MCND Age, which introduced their blend of hip-hop, EDM, and pop influences. The group gained attention for precise choreography, strong vocal performances, and a colorful, high-energy visual presentation.

In the years following their debut, MCND released additional singles and EPs and promoted through performances on music programs and various international events. Their activities have included tours and fan-engagement events aimed at expanding their audience beyond Korea, with releases that continued the group’s signature interplay between rapped verses and melodic hooks.

Musically, MCND’s work tends to emphasize themes of ambition, self-belief, and teamwork, consistent with their name’s emphasis on new dreams. The group has been positioned within the broader K-pop scene as part of a wave of acts combining rap-driven tracks with pop sensibilities and energetic choreographies.

Discography highlights include the debut single Ice Age (2020) and the mini-album MCND Age (2020), along with subsequent releases that contributed to their ongoing international presence.
