Make way for model Shownu! Last February 14, Shownu of the K-pop boy group Monsta X left fans in awe with his jaw-dropping visuals as he made his runway debut at the New York Fashion Week.

According to South Korean reports, he shared that it was fun to have experienced a new field he had never tried before. “It was a very meaningful time to participate as an ambassador representing Korean fashion,” he added.

After seeing Shownu excel in another field apart from being an idol, fans, especially Monsta X’s fanbase, Monbebes, can’t help but be proud of the singer.

On social media, Monbebes showered the artist with positive comments as they trended the hashtag #Shownu_NY_FashionWeek. “You did an amazing job on the runway. You are an icon and a legend,” one fan wrote.

Moreover, other fans also complimented him as he showed an amazing performance as a model. “That’s how you make your NYFW runway debut,” one said. Meanwhile another called him the main event of the show.

Another fan took the time to appreciate the idol’s progress over the years as he went from being an invited guest who watched on the sidelines in 2016 to becoming an ambassador who walked the runway in 2024.

In other news, Shownu is also set to make his musical theater debut in the upcoming production The Great Comet which will begin its run in the last week of March.
