“Monbebe, I hope you didn‘t go anywhere else” MONSTA X’s Kihyun to hold a live broadcast to commemorate his discharge at 6 PM today (21st)

MONSTA X‘s Kihyun will be showing off his love for fans from the first day of his military service.

According to his agency Starship Entertainment, Kihyun was discharged today (21st) after completing 1 year and 6 months of military service. A separate discharge ceremony was not held due to safety concerns on-site.

Kihyun, who entered the training camp on August 22, 2023, has been serving faithfully as an active-duty soldier in the army after receiving basic military training. With this, Kihyun becomes the fourth Monsta X member to complete his military service, following Shownu, Minhyuk, and Jooheon.


Kihyun said through Starship Entertainment, “Our Monbebe (official fan club name)! I really missed you. I hope you haven’t gone anywhere else. It must have been a long time, but thank you for waiting. I will work hard to show Monbebe the cool things you hoped for. I love you Monbebe!” He continued, “I think I was able to come back comfortably because the members who are active are here. I am also grateful to the members. He said, “I’ve been waiting for the day when all six of us can gather together after our military service ends, and now it really feels like there’s not much time left, so I’m really looking forward to the future.”

Kihyun will hold a live broadcast to commemorate his discharge through Monsta X’s official YouTube channel at 6 PM on the same day as his discharge. He plans to greet his fans who have waited for him for a long time and share his happy thoughts with Monbebe.

Since his debut, Monsta X’s main vocalist Kihyun has been called the ‘K-pop vocal god’ and the pride of Monsta X and Monbebe, boasting his signature strong performances and unwavering live skills. Kihyun has showcased his wide range of musical abilities through the OSTs of the dramas ‘Partners for Justice’, ‘Police Station Next to the Fire Station’, and the webtoon ‘Fin-Season Green Apple Moisturizing Academy’, and in 2022, he released his first solo single ‘VOYAGER’ and his first mini-album ‘YOUTH’, seven years after his debut, gaining recognition as a ‘solo artist’.

Kihyun, who is usually famous for his love for his fans and is called ‘Monsta X + Choi Soo-jong’, boasts extraordinary love for his fans even within the team. Not only did he hold an exhibition right before his enlistment to share precious memories with his fans, but he also posted a special cover video filmed right before his enlistment to celebrate the 9th anniversary of the founding of the official fan club while he was serving in the military, greatly touching his fans with his extraordinary love. With Kihyun‘s discharge, anticipation for the full group Monsta X promotions is running high, and anticipation is building for Kihyun’s path to create new memories with Monbebe through diverse activities.


Kihyun will meet fans through a live performance to commemorate his discharge through Monsta X‘s official YouTube channel today (the 21st) at 6 PM. He will also be holding a free fan event, ‘TRIP TO KIKITOWN!’, at Myeonghwa Live Hall on March 8 at 1 PM and 5 PM.
