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]
