Kim Heechul & Kim Jungmo (formerly M&D, shortened from Midnight & Dawn or Miari & Dangye-dong) was a South Korean pop rock duo formed by SM Entertainment in 2011. The group was composed of Super Junior's Heechul and TraxX's Kim Jung-mo. Both members decided to write and compose every song the project group released. They'll continuously release music which they can and want to do, regardless of the genre.[1] Their debut single, "Close Ur Mouth" was released in June 2011 under the name M&D.[1] In early July 2016, SM Entertainment announced that the duo would return as Kim Heechul & Kim Jungmo (김희철&김정모).[2][3]
The group disbanded on April 30, 2019.[4]

The single was written by Heechul and produced by Jungmo. The music video starred model Kim Jin-kyung.[9][10] In early July 2016, SM Entertainment announced that the duo would return as Kim Heechul & Kim Jungmo, with a 2nd mini-album Goody Bag, and trot-rock lead track "Ulsanbawi" on July 12.[2][3] The album consists of six tracks, which were written by Heechul and composed by Jungmo.
