MONSTA X MARATHON - Hero (rooftop ver), Shoot Out, FANTASIA, & Rush Hour | FIRST REACTION / REVIEW 

And they still are a six member group shownu our leader is just in the military :) honestly I feel seeing them having songs come out while shownu is in the military I feel like it shows how strong monsta x is. I love monsta x. Hyungwon may be my ult but oh man every member is so Important. They defiantly where able to make sure and carry what shownu does and make sure we feel his presence still :)

Ohh, only one member is in the military atm Shownu, the one with the lips is Hyungwon, in rush hour the one with dark hair rapping is I.M, Red hair rapper is Joohoney, orange hair singing in rush hour is Kihyun, and dark hair one singing is Minhyuk

A little insight into the iconic Monsta X sound (anyone can tell you that MX have a SOUND) and their impact on KPOP, from Wikipedia: *Since debut, Monsta X has been known for their aggressive style, combining elements of hip hop, EDM and pop. This aggressive style with "tracks centred around loud, clattering, electronic instrumentals, vicious rap verses and striking vocals" has been influential across the fourth generation of K-pop.* MX have hands down one of the best raplines in KPOP, as well as vocalists (Kihyun easily top 5 vocalist in the industry). They struggled a lot at the beginning of their career due to their "loud" sound, and appealed more to international fans. They are FINALLY getting recognition in South Korea, after popularizing the "noisy" music that groups like ATEEZ and SKZ got inspired to do! Joohoney (red haired rapper) produced & wrote Rush Hour! Actually many members had a heavy hand producing their last 3-4 albums, and the rapline has produced and written since debut! Also, Wonho left in 2019 due to *false* accusations. They were severe enough that he left in order to protect the members 🥺 he was fully cleared a few months later and returned to debut solo under a sublabel of the same company! Many MX fans are still fans of Wonho and consider him always a part of MX! Also in Rush Hour, Shownu (the eldest & leader) isn't there because he's enlisted in the military 💔 it definitely is weird seeing them as 5, but they still incorporated him in the choreo! The "Eat This" move comes from a famous Shownu meme 😂

Monsta X started with a noise music track and a mellow album and they ALWAYS stayed true to it. Like Trespass is their debut song and well it was something new back then in kpop. The Trespass album has a few member produced tracks and a few harder hitting tracks (maybe harder than the title). Rush Hour is exactly the same thing and I love it so much that they stayed true to their style after all this time. Rush Hour is like Trespass with a modern MX touch. Also I love how the members get more creative freedom after years. How Jooheon is now allowed to produce title tracks (it’s his second one after Gambler) and how all members give their opinion about lyrics and choreography and some sound effects, it’s so nice to see how they actually make their own now because they know their style best. They also have songs that are completely different but that’s what they once said in an interview in the US. They see the X in their name as some sort of unidentifiable existence and say that the X means they don’t Limit themselves regarding anything, they’re willing to try out any genre but they’re still maintaining their signature style. Also all members have very distinctive voices which just makes it even more easy to pick out their songs from any Playlist of kpop songs. So they also have an English album (the first in kpop in a decade) and the second will be released just 21 days after Rush Hour was released. On December 10th. And they have a documentation with the same title as the album (The Dreaming) coming to cinemas worldwide! Please react to them again!!

"I like the cowboy feel" Me: Smirks and waits for Rush Hour

1. They're now 5 because 1 member is doing mandatory military service. 2. Monsta X and Cravity are from one label, Starship Ent. 3. They have many other genres aside from hard hitting noise music. Hope you react to "Stuck" , "Love Killa" and "Gambler" Thanks!

YESSS!! I js recently got into Monsta X bcz of Rush Hour and this is the first time listening to Hero🔥🔥 Fantasia is my favorite song so far!

I just feel the need to enlighten you on the fact that there is a SKZ x MX x NCT rap stage that exists :)

So glad to see you! Really glad you've discovered MonstaX. Joohoney and I.M are the two rappers. They've both been through some sh*t, as you felt from I.M. To sum up, MontaX did not willingly lose Wonho. It was not a pleasant time and when they still were seen in public with him, they got some backlash but that didn't stop them from not giving up on their brother. Sorry, stopping. Then Joohoney had to take a break for healing his psyche and came out with a solo album, fittingly called Psyche with one of the best rap songs about depression and mental health struggles I've ever heard, Smoky. I.M, the maknae who was hated by the group at first and struggling with being back in Korea after growing up in Boston, did have a rough time and he's also one of the saltiest most savage idols in KPop. If you know anyone from Boston, then you know how tough those guys have to be and how they can cut you to shreds with their words if they're smart AND from Boston! LOL His solo album this year was amazing as well! I think all five songs charted on Billboard but the song God Damn is a masterpiece! Shownu is in the military but not gone from the group and that should kinda catch you up. I would definitely recommend seeing them live! There are not that many groups in KPop that are BETTER live than they are in a studio, but MonstaX is one of them. (Like BigBang, Epik High, A.C.E, NCT127, iKON...stopping now) I HIGHLY recommend you see them when the tour in January and February rolls through the US. Even the nosebleed seats are a great time at a Monsta X show and MonBebe's are the most welcoming fans that also know how to party! Can't wait for the next reactions! Again so glad to see you!

Monsta X have the best rapper duo and great vocalist too. This is their genre. The music that makes hyped, dance and feels like you are ready to fight the world. 🖤🏁🎶 Oh and they sound even better LIVE. It's insane. Gotta see them for sure. 🔥

If you love the rappers you need to watch their Sambakja (Triple Rhythm) live performance! It is crazy! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Omggg that was amazing, I'll recommend you " struck " , "follow", "alligator", "Gambler" and "secrets" in live... I really hope you can react more of them, they had the best rap line, one of the best main vocalist, on of the best dancers and best visual in kop industry :3

Joohoney is one of the best rapper in kpop no doubt along with GDragon, RM and Chanbin. I'm a stay but if I had to choose to watch just one kpop concert in my entire life I'd go for Monsta X, their stage is insane.

1:57 “7 of them” Dude a piece of my heart fell when you said that 😭

With all my love as a monbebe, Monsta X is the biggest group that you’ve never heard of. They are way too slept on and I don’t know why or how. Their rap line is the best one period Btw your right, Cravity is under the same company, Joohoen (the red headed rapper) even wrote some of their songs and I believe he has adlibs on their song "Jumper"

If you really like Monsta X’s rappers let’s check out their individual content Joohoney “Psyche” I.M “God damn” Monsta X “Gambler” and “Love killa”

Monsta X are absolutely awesome live. Intensely powerful group

Aw I'm so happy you got around to react to Monsta X. They're one of my favourite kpop groups and they have a lot of hard-hitting songs (fighter, follow, love killer, gambler,...) as well as more ballad-like ones (someone's someone, shine forever, you can't hold my heart,...). They're five right now, because shownu is in the military (you liked his singing and dancing in hero and fantasia), also wonho had this dumb scandal(which turned out to be total bs). You're basically the only reactor I enjoy watching so yeah that that made me happy tonight, thanks and I'm excited to see more of your reactions in the future (don't feel pressured though please, health and life comes first). Hope you're safe and sound! Xxx

I have added Monsta X as an ult group not too long ago. I love them so much!! Their sound is so different, i think.

Duuuuuudrr. Yayyyyy. I haven’t even started this and I saw your name and monsta x and I was like oh my gosh I need to watch this ASAP.

"Hero" was my introduction to them and "Shoot out" was the one which helped me choose my bias.

yaay i'm so happy you discovered monsta x cause like... yes. if i may pile on some recommendations... for either reactions or just personal enjoyment: all in (one of them early queer anthems), fighter, beautiful (these 3 make up a trilogy), dramarama (their first win on a music show), alligator (which is basically the sequel to shoot out and for which i recommend both the mv and the mcountdown live stage), jealousy (esp the dance practice), love killa, gambler (first title track produced by a member - jooheon), find you (the pair mv to "follow" and one of the last times we got to see them as a 7 member group), livin' it up (japanese release). live performance-wise, i recommend the golden disk awards 2019 stage, flow comeback stage (the first comeback after wonho left and in this song they talk about the difficulties they faced during that harsh period and their attitude towards their future as monsta x), hyungwon & im's how long concert stage, wonho & shownu's mirror stage, jooheon & im's sambakja stage, kihyun minhyuk and hyungwon's by myself stage, honestly any concert live videos you can find of... most of their songs, but especially fallin', if i may be biased for a second. oh and the iconic video of kihyun singing the highest notes in "lost in a dream" during a comeback vlive. they also have outstanding b-sides and honestly.... i'll just recommend my favorite albums... take 1: are you there, follow: find you, fatal love. otherwise... they also have a full english album that both the members and wonho contributed to production-wise and many mvs to said songs. and another full english album on its way to release. and a movie with the same name (the dreaming) there is a time travelling narrative going on in there somewhere too... (most visible in dramarama and find you) watching monsta x-ray (their own variety show that ended) is a good way to get to know the members better and really just to brighten your day :D sorry about the novel asdfjfjhjk loved your reaction. it's always nice to see people get excited over stuff you're excited about yourself :))

I haven't even watched yet but you had me at Monsta X!❤️

You should also check out Alligator, Kiss or Death, Dramarama, Jealousy. I'm hype watching u THANK YOU

"The blonde guy is so pretty" Yes, he is! It's a shame they didn't put Hyungwon on screen more time :c You need to listen to Jooheon's solo songs, sing and rap

Omg they’re having their world tour in feb! Please go see them live! It’s like going to the club and being at a concert at the same time! They have so much love for monbebe 💕💕

right now in monsta x are 6 members.but in rush hour were only 5 of them. its because Shownu their leader is in millitary right now;]

I really enjoyed your reaction to monsta x ✨, that red hair badass looking rapper is joohoney and I agree with you he is one of those artist you have to know, like the dude just has that "something", apart from being a great rapper, he knows how to dance, and has a very strong stage presence, and is very sweet, but yeah I would recommend for you to hear love Killa and gambler they are very good songs, not only the rap parts are fking great but all of them parts were 🔥💜

If you wanna, you know, ~MAYBE~ do another MX marathon, I gotta recommend their debut song Trespass, Beautiful, Fighter, and their newest song You Problem (which is all in English AND the rappers sing. Well!)

Monsta x is one of my favorite kpop groups they're so powerful and they have one of the best rap line in kapop and best vocals as well Also the creativity in their music production is insane🔥🔥🔥 Welcome to monbebe world

Monster X concerts are basically a party. 10000% worth seeing

I was trying to hold in all my laughter through the video since I'm at work but when you said "they shot me" I busted out laughing. Your reaction was so relatable, I could not stop laughing.

14:11 "I never even seen him in my life...but I feel like I need to know him." Hell yeah lmao, the orange haired hard af rapper in their Shoot Out video is Jooheon! He also goes by Joohoney or Honey, he's not only a nasty and unique rapper but also a composer and producer for a ton of MX's songs and has his own solo album out! He's making some huuuuuge hits atm with MX in their most recent albums that were topping the charts, he's def worth looking into cause I gotta say, his flow and passion is prob the best I've ever seen in the industry.

love your originality genuine reaction love monsta x they literally can't stop being awesome

we aren't exaggerating when we say joohoney and i.m are the best rap duo in the korean industry. NO CAP CAP. no but forreal even people who aren't fans of monsta x agree that they're on a different level. to think i.m almost wasn't going to be added into the group. can't imagine monsta x without him. :O thanks for the reaction! wonho left because of false accusations and he left to save the other members from criticism and whatnot. check out his solo music if you havem't already! "open mind" and "lose" are amazing from him! shownu is in the army right now. can't wait to see more! your reactions were so genuine. ♥ p.s: if you really like these songs, you'll LOVE their b-sides. their b-sides are next level, i would even go to say some of their b-sides are even better than some of their title tracks (be quiet, beastmode, fallin', my zone for the songs that go HARD since you seem to like the heavier EDM and heavy hitting stuff [i am the same way!]).

How have u not heard of monsta x if u know any Koop hahahaaa very strange

hello,, can we get purple kiss anytime soon?

I wanna see u react to Sambakja, Gambler, Love Killa, Psyche. It goes really hard i'm not gonna lie. Also check out their english songs the rappers will blew u off with their vocals

Anyone else wanna tell him about the JooheonxTaeyong performance feat. Jackson?

Your "Oh, my Gahhhhhd!" leadin into another dance along at 6:30 with their HERO got me lmaooo, I'm so glad u vibin to them cause these r my bois right here, love u Monsta X and love you Wonho

Thank youuu for reacting to Monsta X ♥️ they do have a lot of energetic music, they have been doing "noise" Music since their debut, I bet you gonna love some of their bsides, Jooheon (their lead rapper) produces a lot of hyper songs, Beastmode its one of my favorites, Rush Hour also was produced by him 😊 (and about a concert, really you should look up some clips from theirs, its AMAZING, one of their members its a DJ too soooo, just imagine). and even tho Rush Hour we have only 5 members, their last cb they still had 6, Shownu its on military rn 🤧

They have a world tour next year :) Please go on my behalf

If you enjoyed these MV’s, I guarantee if you watch ANY of their other MV’s you will become a fan. They are different then other Kpop groups with their music. They are known for their professionalism and their loyalty to their fanbase. Johooney is the main rapper. He writes and produces some of their MV’s such as “Rush Hour” and “Gambler”. Definitely watch “Jealousy” and “Gambler”. The “pretty” one with the blond hair in “Shoot Out” is Hyungwon and he was a model before the band formed. A good show to invest time in is “No Mercy”. You will get to see how the band was formed. It’s pretty intense.

Monsta X is going to have a tour in north America

Welcome to Monbebe's world~ 🤗 Btw, he is our Jooheon ☺

you knew wonho im crying

Thank you for reaction 😊 Monsta X is a great 😃 Wonho is an amazing person 🔥🔥🔥 He did so much for Monsta X 😢😢😢

You should check some of Kihyun's covers. K stands in K-pop for Kihyun! And 'Sambakja' bc JOOHEON&I.M ARE FIRE!

I love your reaction! Monsta X is the best! You should really check out their English songs from the album "ALL ABOUT LOVE" and "THE DREAMING". All of their songs are amazing 😭 You won't regret listening to it

Monsta X has an English album “all about love” which came out on 2/14/20 Their second English album “The Dreaming” which is coming out on 12/10/21 If you do check out some more Monsta X mv’s: Alligator, trespass (debut mv), jealousy and Love Killa. In Love Killa, Monsta x the members did do movie references: Joohoney is The joker from the dark knight, Minhyuk is Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, Shownu is Agent Smith from The Matrix, Kihyun is Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the lambs, Hyungwon is Tyler durden from Fight Club, and I.M is from the movie the driver.

Please react to secret number "fire Saturday"🤗and glass "out"

You should do a reaction to their song Beautiful, Love killa, and Gambler

One member is missing - the main dancer/lead vocal/leader- Shownu, he’s in the military service.

Also, watch “Beastmode” dance practice and also “Alligator”. The very handsome man up front usually is Shownu, lead dancer. He went into the military this year. Sorry, but I am a huge fan of this band. I personally think they are better than BTS.

I.M and Jooheon are best rap line in my opinion 🤪FYI they are on tour now.

If you want to see how crazy monsta x rappers are (LIVE) react to Smabakja Jooheon and I.M

Hahaha this is so good! Hero was the first song of Monsta X I heard. I found Wonho first thru Open Mind, and he was the first person capable of getting me to listen to Kpop at all. When I found out he was in Monsta X Previously I found Hero first. You can imagine how HYPED this song made me, and now... Well here I am, a hard MX stan lol.

Where u thinking my turn from Cravity? And yes same label :D

MONSTA X ARE TOURING IN FEBRUARY! THEY HAVE A STOP IN ATLANTA I SAW THEM LIVE AND IT WAS THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE They're FAMOUS for their concerts!! Also they have a MOVIE on December 9th and 11th! Check your local theatre!! Just like Blackpink and BTS had one, MX will have one alongside the release of their 2nd English album!

Oh and the handsome blonde who is sitting on the throne in shootout thats my number one ult bias.

Thanks for watching please more reaction to monsta X and their solo mv

WILL U CHECK THE BOYS OUT MORE?

How have you not heard of Hero ? 👀🤣

Joohoney is honestly my favorite rapper of all time. This man has caught me and now I’m his main dish

They are going on tour next year. I’m pretty sure there are tickets left!

monsta x never fails! fatal has ZERO SKIPPS

27:03 talkin about the differences in going from a 7 to 6 to 5 member group, yeah it def is hard for a group to incorporate everything into a new dance comp or changing songs to fit less vocals and sadly MX have been going through this for a bit. 1st wanted to give some backstory if u don't know or if the comments haven't explained it below: Basically immediately after Wonho was falsely accused and left the group to protect MX in October 2019, it was hard cause MX had to perform the next day (cause Wonho was targeted directly before a comeback) so they had near no time at all to change their choreo and switch vocals to fill in 1 less member. Lowkey will never forget the heartbreak of that first month, let alone the next 5 months of wondering if Wonho was okay while constantly supporting him and all of MX. But as time wore on and Wonho was found innocent and started his solo career, MX was able to work on different choreo positions that fit a 6 member group; but going from a dancing pattern fit for an odd number of members since they became a group, then having to switch to a pattern for an even number of members, definitely seems like a huge challenge. Mainly cause then you gotta think about how the placement on stage and the windows for each member gotta change to fit their new situation. And now MX's leader Shownu (aka hot sexy honey vocals dance man) has been doing his military service that started in July this year, so MX is down to 5 members, and it's the same thing all over again; had to change the choreo to fill around that empty hole in each performance and stage, and for the vocals they either get to keep them in or the timing makes them have to change it up a bit. Big ass comment my b, but mannnnnn I wish Monsta X + Wonho would get a break so they can just be their sexy magical music making selves in peace from all these struggles! Heart always goes out to them for pushing through the struggles and coming out with all these amazing bangers, all 7 of them are strong af

За monsta X ставлю лайк не глядя, тем более вижу, что понравилось! Мои мальчики лучшие❤️

Please reaction MonstaX- Love killa and Who do you love!

I love this reaction!!! A new monbebe in sight 👀 MONSTA X are fk good, the only kpop group i listen to..Their complete discography is a blessing to my ears 😌

Omg your bias is definitely Hyungwon😂 he chose you immediately. And your bias wrecker seems to be the one and only Jooheon!

Monsta x is the best

Oh btw, the reason why in Rush Hour there is only 5 members its bcz their leader Shownu is currently serving in the military.

MONSTA X con un gran presupuesto nadie podria compararse a ellos, son los mejores.

Gosh let me tell you i loved your reaction. *Chefs Kiss*

Talking about the change-ups in the songs, especially Shoot Out and Rush Hour, got me wanting to see him react to X-Phenomenon Love how you compliment each member! Wonho for obvious reasons, Shownu's visual and dancing, Jooheon and I.M rapping, Hyungwon visuals and vocals, Kihyun vocals, and Minhyuk vocals! He is a vocal king and slays with the pink hair. As a Minhyuk bias it's really nice to hear someone say that about him especially since he isn't the main vocal 💙

I'm a simple monbebe. I see Monsta X, I click, I like, I subscribe.

Thank you for your reaction! They’re amazing! ❤️

ONEUS marathon please!!!

If you like their rappers their performance of their unit song “sambakja” will blow your mind

I loved your reaction, please react to more Monsta X they are just kings. Everyone is so freaking talented and as a Monbebe we always appreciate when people can recognize this. They have either hard hitting songs or really soft/pop songs especially their english albums "all about luv" and "The Dreaming" which are just masterpieces. But if you prefer those agressive songs, it's their usual style, I can recommend Beastmode, Stuck, All in, Shine Forever, Destroyer and Fighter. But to be honest, all of their songs slap , their whole discography does...

6th member the Leader Shownu is joining his military service. And yea they are the best, rapline are the best, main vocalist is the best.. Yea Thats it, thats the comment..

My favourite is Jealousy 😊

Monsta X rap line is ICONIC 🔥

more mx react plsss

First of all I love your reactions, second of all you should really react to tresspass and beastmode you are going to love both: IM and Honey´s raps are insane and the vocal lines KINGS

omggg yess monsta x. really love your reaction. please more reaction to them😍

REACT TO SAMBAKJA I AM BEGGING YOU

Yeah cravity and monsta x are under the same company

OUR JOOHONEY ALWAYS SLAY!

Next you should check out Gambler, Love Killa,

all my homies miss Wonho

They are literally the best! Thanks for this cool video 😍 You can also take a look members's solo music; Joohoney - Smoky, Red Carpet, Psyche. I.M - God Damn Minhyuk - Ongshimi

dramarama, jealousy, and beautiful are some good ones you should react to. they also have a few songs in English.

Monsta X is literally the best group ever! Kihyun is the living vocal king! Joohaney and I.M are the best rappers of the Korea, Hyungwon, Shownu nd Minhyukhas so uniqu voices and i even dont talk about their damn hot dance skills. Thats the best thing i ve ever seen 🔥

Thank you for reviewing Monsta X. I recommend to you. The moment we see Lovekilla and Gambler, we die. Additionally, if you want to experience heaven through rap, I recommend watching the Sambakja of Jooheon and I.M. They will take you to paradise.

Yeah man, this is Monsta X with their crazy energy songs 🔥

Gray when the mv is playing: 😡💪🤬😤🤯 Gray when he pauses to give an analysis:😊👍🤩💕

omggg watch a guide!!!

I see my ult group, I click 😌. Just wanted to add that Wonho was forced to leave during a "scandal" in 2019, he was later proven innocent.
