MONSTA X‘s Jooheon successfully completes live commemorating his discharge from the military “Working on songs during vacation, so look forward to it”

MONSTA X’s Jooheon successfully completed his live commemorating his discharge from the military.

On the 23rd at 6:30 PM, Jooheon met with Monbebe (fandom) online through Monsta X‘s official YouTube channel. He appeared in his military uniform and said, “I feel so excited. I was touched that Monbebe came to see me today. You must have seen me getting dragged around to film ‘Eat Monster’, but it was fun filming”. He confessed, “It was so cold in Hwacheon, but I couldn’t sleep well because I was worried about Monbebe coming early in the morning.”

In addition, Jooheon said, “I wrote a lot of songs while I was serving in the military. I worked on a lot whenever I got vacation. He said, “I personally had a lot of good songs, so I think I had a meaningful vacation,” and confessed, “I did my best in my duties as an assistant instructor while I was in the military. That’s why I think the songs came out well when I was on vacation. You can really look forward to it.” He also introduced a phrase that left a deep impression on him, saying, “Monbebes sent me a lot of letters while I was in the military. My assistant instructor friends delivered them to me, and I read each and every letter. There were a lot of words that made me happy.”

Jooheon said, “I don’t know how many times I’ve watched the Monbebe concert video. There are so many stars in Hwacheon, and I thought of Monbebe cheering as I looked at the stars in the sky. It motivated me to work hard and passionately (in the military) so that I can return to Monbebe proudly.”

Jooheon also had a congratulatory ceremony for his discharge with a cake decorated with the official character Manraengi. Looking back on the content series ‘JOOHONEYWALKER’ during his military service, he shared various behind-the-scenes stories. He also wrote a 2025 version of his bucket list and performed a dance challenge that had been piling up.

He also shared a review of the recent concert by the group‘s youngest member, I.M (Im Chang-kyun). Jooheon said, “It was so good and fun. I think Monbebes were surprised when I went. It’s not easy to lead the stage alone, but I thought, ‘Our Chang-kyun has become cooler.’. I came back from the concert feeling happy.”

Meanwhile, Jooheon, who enlisted in the basic training unit in July 2023, received basic military training, and served as an assistant instructor at the basic training unit at the 15th Infantry Division of the Army in Hwacheon, Gangwon-do, and was discharged today (the 23rd). During his military service, Jooheon was a role model in his unit, winning the 300th Combat Casualty Treatment Corps title and receiving numerous awards and achievements, including early promotion to the rank of sergeant. With this, Jooheon becomes the third member of the team to complete his military service, following members Shownu and Minhyuk.

Jooheon will be holding a free fan event on February 5th and meeting Monbebe up close. Jooheon will be holding a fan meeting twice at 4 PM and 8 PM on that day at the Blue Square Mastercard Hall. It will be open only to members of the 8th generation of the official fan club Monbebe, and all seats are free.
