Thank you for your reaction to Monsta X. I joined the community to watch your reaction. They are very underrated. Going to see them in October in LA.
Kpop groups very rarely add another member if one leaves or gets kicked out. It kind of it what it is. Honestly Korean kpop fans can be very HORRIBLE because they got attached to the old group so.... One example is Red Velvet, their youngest member joined later and she got tons of death threats at the time.
Kpop idols are allowed to date. It might be prohibited for a year or two right after debuting, but most kpop idols still do date. They just don’t talk about it because fans are crazy and will start a “scandal” bc of it. For example, Chen from EXO revealed that he was getting married and was having a child, so fans protested for him to be kicked out of the group. Fans will even send trucks to the companies that have signs saying the certain members exposed for dating should leave. The singers partners will also get a ton of hate too.
I have never heard of Monsta X, and I really enjoyed being introduced to them in this format!
Two more things. First, it is believed in Korea that the blood type has an influence on your personality. Comparable to zodiac signs. That's the reason, why it was listed on the kprofiles website. Second, replacing members in already established groups is very rare. I can't think of any from the top of my head. There are groups that have switched their entire lineup, but those are usually lesser known. A certain number of members is considered more fitting, but there is no real proof of that. E.g. the rookie group Say My Name debuted in October 2024 and in July this year they added an 8th member. I assume the company did this, because they have the feeling the group will benefit from the added member instead of replacing another member.
About Joohoney, he released his first solo album 'Lights', which he self produced, in May 2023. Shortly before starting his mandatory military service. The title track 'Freedom' is an absolute gem! https://youtu.be/QJEolcMlap4?si=3Y0tnlYSbNnJ4FtB
And talking about missing out on inspirations for songs, when you are not allowed to date, Haewon from NMIXX mentioned, while preparing for a song on a variety show, that she felt unsure, if she could express the song correctly, since she never went through a break up. https://youtube.com/shorts/7bDnsXHhEXE?si=NICMOgrMmWO0RUuI The question is, was she telling the truth or simply sticking to the idol image. Many idols do date secretly of course.
That just seems so wild to me.
YAAAAAAAAAAY
Also Monsta X has such a vast discography, that they had to skip some song. I kind of missed songs like 'Hero', 'Alligator', 'Fantasia', 'Play It Cool', 'Follow', 'Love', 'Rush Hour'...
Thank you for reacting to Monsta X. I'm looking forward to many more Killing Voice reactions. Also you pretty much nailed Monsta X's positions. To confirm, you could have checked the kprofiles website. 😜 Little addition, Joohoney, which you had correct with 'Jew-honey' btw. also writes and produces songs.
You definitely get the gold sticker for the day, my friend. So grateful for all the information you share. More to come!
