Within a relatively short period, the channel has already garnered more than 41,000 subscribers, with its subscriber count steadily increasing.

The channel’s first video was released on August 25, 2023, offering viewers a glimpse into Hyungwon’s leisurely day, potentially during a hiking excursion. MONBEBEs, as the fans are affectionately known, are buzzing with excitement and curiosity.

Many are eagerly anticipating what this channel will have to offer, speculating that it might provide insights into Hyungwon’s evolving interests and share behind-the-scenes moments from his life.

“Hyungwon has a strong influence as a global K-pop artist beyond Korea,” they said. “His charm matches with the direction of Givenchy Beauty, which is why we selected him as our official model. We expect Hyungwon to create positive synergies with our brand as the male beauty market expands.”

Prior to this revelation, Hyungwon joined forces with Shownu to form MONSTA X’s first sub-unit. Together, they released the EP titled [THE UNSEEN] on July 25, 2023, which showcased five captivating tracks: “Love Me A Little,” “Love Therapy,” “Roll With Me,” “Play Me,” and “Slow Dance.”

Mark your calendars, MONBEBEs! Shownu and Hyungwon of K-pop boy group MONSTA X are gearing up to make their debut as a sub-unit with the release of the mini-album THE UNSEEN.

On Wednesday, June 28, the act released a teaser image of what appeared to be a rear view mirror reflecting an industrial building, along with the message “Coming soon.” 

 

THE UNSEEN is slated for a July 25 release. As of writing, additional details about the track list and title track have yet to be disclosed. 

Prior to the teaser, MONSTA X also unveiled a logo motion video for the sub-unit, which showed the two members’ initials merging into one.

In an interview with VOGUE KOREA, Shownu talked about how he and Hyungwon are preparing for their sub-unit debut. “They’re all good,” he said. “When I ask for song recommendations, he sends them through KakaoTalk and he mainly listens to songs he could’ve written. Good and modern music.”

Despite not having made their official sub-unit debut yet, the duo is also confirmed to perform at the Krazy K-pop Super concert in New York and KCON in Los Angeles in August. 

Starship Entertainment first confirmed in May that Shownu and Hyungwon will form a sub-unit – marking MONSTA X’s first sub-unit in the group’s eight-year career. 

It will also serve as Shownu’s first official activity following his discharge from the mandatory military service last April. 

Shownu and Hyungwon’s sub-unit debut comes after solo releases of fellow MONSTA X members. In May, Jooheon made his solo debut with the album Lights, while I.M made his solo comeback in June with the mini-album Overdrive. 

MONSTA X, who made their debut in May 2015, is known for their hits “Love Killa,” “Hero,” “Shoot Out,” “Dramarama,” “Gambler,” and “Beautiful Liar.”

Shownu Hypes Up MONSTA X Subunit With Hyungwon

Shownu is getting ready for his first major project since his military discharge. The MONSTA X leader is hyping up the group’s first subunit with fellow member Hyungwon. In addition to that, Son Hyunwoo shared his thoughts on seeing his fellow members doing promotions during his military service.

Shownu Shares Details On First MONSTA X Subunit With Hyungwon

Vogue Korea recently unveiled photos from Shownu’s latest photoshoot for the magazine. In the accompanying interview, the MONSTA X main dancer discussed the plans for the group’s first subunit. Shownu revealed that Hyungwon has already written songs for the new group unit.

“They’re all good. When I ask for song recommendations, he sends them through KakaoTalk and he mainly listens to songs he could’ve written. Good and modern music,” he said.

He also confirmed that he and Hyungwon have a great bond that will make their new subunit work well.

“What’s great about when I’m with Hyungwon is that I’m comfortable. The reason we hang out often is just because it’s comfortable,” Shownu said. “We don’t speak much and don’t bother each other.”

“Good synergy can be created when you’re uncomfortable, but since we have a comfortable relationship I’m not sure what kind of chemistry will come out,” he said.

“We’re both not the greedy type and have similar body types. I have a desire to showcase good performances and visuals but nothing’s been decided yet,” Shownu added.

Shownu Opens Up About Watching MONSTA X Perform Without Him

The still-unnamed subunit will be Shownu’s first major project since his return from military service. However, he admitted that he also enjoyed seeing the other MONSTA X members’ promotions while he was serving the country.

“I was curious about their performance and my members’ conditions but it was all incredibly cool,” Shownu said. “Since I know that the first week [of promotions] is the hardest, I watched while assuming they were exhausted but also thinking ‘this is interesting!‘”

He then added that being able to watch his fellow members from afar was refreshing.

“I did slightly miss the anticipation of preparing an album from the perspective of a singer but it was fun watching from the perspective of a fan,” he said.

The first MONSTA X subunit with Shownu and Hyungwon is expected to debut in the Summer of 2023.

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.
