MONSTA X’s Shownu and Hyungwon to Debut as First Unit Group

MONSTA X is debuting their first unit group. Leader Shownu and lead dancer Hyungwon will be introduced as the group’s first subunit since they debuted in 2015.

Shownu and Hyungwon To Debut as MONSTA X’s First Unit Group This Summer

Starship Entertainment confirmed that MONSTA X will introduce their first subunit this year with the aim to debut in summer.

“Shownu and Hyungwon are preparing for MONSTA X’s first unit group,” the agency stated. It was also pointed out that although the project is currently in the works, the specifics of the subunit have not been confirmed.

“The specific schedule for their debut has not been decided yet,” the company stated. “We will officially make an announcement when it has been decided. Please look forward to it.”

This is welcome news for MONBEBEs who have been waiting for Shownu’s return for almost two years. Son Hyunwoo enlisted for mandatory military service in July 2021. He served as a public service worker due to surgery for eye retinal detachment.

Prior to his discharge on April 21, Shownu reunited with the rest of MONSTA X to give Minhyuk a proper send-off for his military enlistment. Lee Minhyuk is the second member of the group to enlist for mandatory military service.

For now, the concept for Shownu and Hyungwon’s unit group is still a mystery. However, there are speculations that the subunit will focus on dance since they are MONSTA X’s main dancer and lead dancer, respectively. Nevertheless, fans are expecting the MONSTA X members to show off their individual styles and talent this summer. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.

In related news, MONSTA X rapper Joohoney confirmed he is working on his first solo album. The details about the new project have not yet been revealed but the album is expected to drop later in May.

MONSTA X have reunited, at least, for a brief time. Leader Shownu caught up with his other members ahead of his military discharge. All six members of the boy group got together for an awesome send-off for Minhyuk, who has enlisted for military service.

Minhyuk previously announced that he would enlist for military service on April 4, 2023. The MONSTA X singer soon enlisted fellow member Kihyun to help him cut his hair before his enlistment. On the day of his enlistment, Lee Minhyuk had a special treat for MONBEBEs.

Shownu will be discharged from military service as a social worker on April 21, 2023. He is expected to resume promotions with MONSTA X soon after.
