MONSTA X Joohoney is aware that his group is becoming the rookie idols’ sunbae (senior).
In 2015, MONSTA X experienced being a hoobae of the senior K-pop idol groups in the industry. But as years go by, the K-pop group becomes the senior of those groups that debuted after them.
Nearly seven years since they began conquering the industry with their style and unique identity as a group, MONSTA X has already received 139 nominations and won 51 of which. They have also released several Korean, Japanese, and English albums.
Despite that, MONSTA X and other K-pop groups who have been in the industry for years cannot run away from people’s conceptions about them – but Joohoney wants to change that.

“Because if a song has a powerful sound, its choreography gets more powerful as well. I feel apologetic to the members who suffered [because of the intense choreography], but looking back on it now, I think it was the right decision. Because it made MONSTA X’s unique color and style even clearer and more developed,” he said.
His comment resonated with the fact that he has grown so much as an individual. The K-pop idol said that their fans, Monbebe, made MONSTA X members grow. In return, he reportedly wants to work hard and repay them for their help.
