Their individuality and performance skills were already evident from the beginning.✨

What is the appeal of MONSTA X? [Monbebe thoroughly explains]

What do you think Monbebe thinks is Monek's charm?😊

There are so many things that I can't stop talking about once I start talking about them...

Here,Narrow down the appeal to three in particular that you want to convey.Let me introduce you♪

performance

As expectedMONSTASpeaking of the charm ofYou can't miss its overwhelming performance!

The sight of the members themselves truly enjoying the music was conveyed directly to Monbebe, creating a sense of unity that involved the entire venue.✨

A perfect and powerful performance not only in rap but also in vocals and dance.Once you see it, you'll never forget it!

Moneku has many famous songs, but please take a look at the dance video for "DRAMARAMA", which won first place on a music program for the first time🩷

Their flawless dancing is truly a sight to behold!

The members are friends with each other

The members who have been working hard together since their days on the survival show are really good friends.♪

We visit each other's solo concerts and energetically support each other's activities🧑🤝🧑

Be sure to check out the content that gives you a glimpse of the friendship between the members!

This is a thumbnail that already shows how interesting it is (lol)

It's really great to see them goofing around so hard.😂

Now that Hyungwon has also been discharged from the military, I can't wait to see more content with the six of them.♪

adult charm

At the time of his debut, he had a naughty image, butMost of the members are now in their 30s and their adult appeal has increased significantly!

I think there are many people who have been hit by the gap with the past.😊

Although there are many dance songs, Monek sings a wide range of genres, from adult and sexy songs to ballads!

Moneku has become even more attractive as an adult, and is even more attractive than before...!

I'm really looking forward to seeing more of her in the future!

MONSTA X member profile [in order of age]

From here, we will introduce the profiles of the six members.♪

Please take this opportunity to fall in love with Monek's charm!

SHOWNU

Shownu, the quiet leader like a bear🐻

She's usually quiet and doesn't talk much, but when she gets on stage, she suddenly changes!

The members originally trained as trainees at JYP Entertainment and are the leading dancers at Monique.It is♪

His dynamic and sharp dancing is attractive, and he is a member who is sure to fall in love with Gap!

The members rely on me as a father figure.👏

She is also known for her stable singing voice.He also has a cute side, earning him the nickname ``Robot Shownu'' and ``Kuma-san'' due to his poker face and quiet nature.♪

Minhyuk (MINHYUK)

Minhyuk is handsome and talkative!

As cute as a puppy,It is gaining popularity as Monek's visual line.🐶

He has an innocent and sweet personality and can quickly become friends with anyone.♪ 

The members are always clinging to and touching others, so much so that they have ordered us to ban physical contact...

She has great communication skills and is often in charge of MC!

Minhyuk can sing, dance, and talk, and is always thinking about his fans. He is truly an idol among idols!

After being discharged from the military, he also held a free event.♪

Kihyun

Kihyun is Monek's main vocalist!

Her clear yet powerful singing voice attracts many fans.✨

Utilizing his outstanding singing ability, he is a talented singer who has also been in charge of OSTs for popular Korean dramas such as ``She Was Beautiful'' and ``Suspicious Partner.''

Usually, I play the role of Moneku's mother because she nags a lot (lol)

Although she looks mischievous, she has a solid and serious personality...!

He is characterized by his ability to laugh at the slightest thing, and his charm point is that his eyes disappear when he smiles.♪

My hobby is taking photos, and my special skill is cooking!

HYUNGWON

Hyungwon is called ``Manchinnam'' in Korean because he ``just looks like a boy from a manga.''✨

In 2016, on "Music Bank", Manchinnam from each group gathered to perform U-Kiss' "만만하니"!

This stage full of handsome men is a must-see!

I would like you to watch it in full, but for those who don't have time.1:24Center Hyungwon from is especially recommended.❤️

The dance, which takes advantage of her long limbs, is gorgeous and sharp!

Although he makes cool decisions on stage, Monbebe says that he usually goes at his own pace and is like a turtle (lol)

Fans also call him ``Chebugi,'' a combination of ``Turtle'' and Hyungwon's real name ``Choi.''🐢

Although he has a look that everyone would envy, he is also attractive because he is friendly and shows off funny faces and acts playfully.It is✨

Joohoney

Jooheon's rapping is indispensable, and he overwhelms those around him with his charisma and solid ability.I will!

Jooheon spent 7 years as a trainee before his debut, and even during his survival days, he has repeatedly won first place in the overall rankings.♪

He is also an all-rounder who also participates in writing and composing Monek's songs!

At first glance, she may look tough, but she is the most charming of the members (lol)

He is also famous for his original charming pose of ``kuku kaka'', where he holds a peace sign next to his eyes and pinches them between them.It is.  

Fans are falling in love with the gap between her bewitching expression on stage and her usual cute personality.💙

Furthermore, she also has a cute side as she is the most fearful and crybaby among the members.✨

I.M.

Monek's youngest son I.M!

He has grown into a mature man, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the most sophisticated man since his survival show days.♪

He was originally a member of the boy group “Nu’Bility” under Special K Entertainment, but his debut was suddenly canceled.😣

Meanwhile, I was scouted by STARSHIP Entertainment and participated in the survival audition program ``NO. MERCY'', and successfully became a member.👏

As a child, he spent time in Israel and Boston in the United States due to his father's work, so he is fluent in English.It is✨

Also, the calm rap and Jooheon's rap create a great combination on stage.😊

Now that I've moved to a new agency, I'm doing solo activities, but I'm also actively participating in Monek's group activities!

Which members left MONSTA X? Reason for withdrawal and summary of current activities

I'm sure many Monbebes were shocked at the time when they heard the news that Wonho was leaving Monek, with whom they were close friends.

Here, we will explain why member Wonho left the group and summarize his current activities.

WONHO

MONSTA X originally debuted as a seven-member group.

Among them, Wonho, who was popular as a visual artist, was already attracting attention even before his debut.

Meanwhile, many fans were shocked when Wonho suddenly announced his withdrawal from the group in 2019.

STARSHIP Entertainment, the agency he belonged to at the time, explained the reason for his withdrawal.``We respected Wonho's wish to not cause any more trouble to the members due to financial troubles.''explained.

As a specific reason,Disclosure by acquaintances (debt problems, rumors that he was in a juvenile detention center, suspicion of drug use)) is the causeIt is said that

Regarding the debt issue, Jeong Da-eun, the person who exposed it, retorted on SNS, ``It was Hoseok (Wonho) who borrowed money and lost touch with me, so why are you telling me to contact the company?''

Upon receiving this,On October 30, 2019, Starship Entertainment commented, ``Jung Daeun's claims are groundless and we are considering legal action.''

Afterwards, Jung Daeun continued to assert on SNS, ``There are many things that haven't been said yet'' and ``Money is the least important thing to talk about.''

He also released an email that he said he received from Wonho's attorney, and explained the specific damage caused, such as, ``They even sold my personal belongings online without my permission.''

On October 31, 2019, STARSHIP Entertainment announced that they "plan to file a complaint," indicating their intention to take legal action.

Regarding the juvenile detention center, an interview with the Korean media Dispatch was published on March 16, 2020, in which Wonho explained that some of his friends went to a juvenile detention center on suspicion of special theft, and that Wonho himself was also placed on probation.

In the interview, Wonho apologized, saying, ``I don't hold any grudge against my friend. It was my choice. It may sound like an excuse, but I was immature. It's all my fault. I'm truly sorry.''

Regarding drugs, Wonho himself announced that he would undergo a formal investigation by the police.

Then, on March 14, 2020, it was announced that Wonho was found not guilty of drug charges and the investigation had ended.It was done.

After that, Wonho signed an exclusive contract with ``HIGHLINE ENTERTAINMENT'', a label affiliated with STARSHIP Entertainment, to which MONSTA X belongs.📃

I have resumed my entertainment activities in earnest as a solo artist and producer.🎤

Released solo album “Love Synonym #1:Right for Me” on September 4, 2020🎵

It reached number 1 on the iTunes album chart, impressing its global success!

In November 2024, the English single “What Would You Do” will be released and the range of activities will be expanded.♪

Have MONSTA X member colors been decided?

Does Monek, which is currently active with 6 members, have member colors? ?

Actually, member colors have not been officially announced.😣

However, since the color used for each member is fixed for merchandise, many fans seem to recognize that color as the "substantive member color"!

member name	member color	Emoji
Shownu	Orange 🧡	🐻(bear)
Minhyuk	blue💙	🐶(dog),🐋(whale)
