‘Discharged’ MONSTA X Jooheon makes a perfect comeback… Aegyo + producing + entertainment all in one (Yong Taro)

MONSTA X Jooheon showed off his entertainment sense that hasn‘t rusted even during his hiatus from the military.

On the 5th, a video titled ‘Jooheon’s Dragon Tarot Reading Results for Monbebes to Wear Flower Shoes? l EP.19’ was released on the YouTube channel ‘Lee Yong Jin YouTube’. Jooheon, who was discharged from his military service in January, appeared as the 19th guest on ‘Yong Taro’ and showed off his great performance that it was hard to believe that it was only 15 days since his discharge at the time of filming.

The first tarot reading was Jooheon‘s New Year’s fortune. Lee Yong Jin said, “It seems like it will take time for him to fully adapt to society. When I explained, “It‘s not that I can’t adapt, but it‘s slow,” Jooheon responded, “Then I have to go with it,” showing his compliance. Then, to the question, “Did you originally think that everything would settle in this year?” Jooheon confidently answered, “Yes. I thought that after appearing in ’Yongtaro‘ and doing something else, I would just keep going,” drawing attention.

Jooheon revealed that he practiced aegyo in the bathroom every time he was on vacation at the end of his life to maintain his energy. He also showed off his famous signature aegyo, ’kuku ka ka,‘ even before his enlistment. Jooheon performed ’kuku ka ka‘ without hesitation, bringing both silence and laughter to the set. Afterwards, when Lee Yong-jin asked if there was a version after he was discharged, he said, “I felt like I wouldn’t be able to go on broadcast if I didn‘t make one, so I made a new one,” making a cute salute pose and shouting, “Feel free!” causing an explosion of laughter.

Lee Yong-jin suggested that he pick one more card, saying that he would adapt faster thanks to his aegyo. When Jooheon was choosing a card, he acted aegyo saying, “Bbaeng-ah, bbaeng-ah, so bbaeng-ah,” and upon seeing this, Lee Yong-jin said, “Did you get possessed by a ghost in the military?” and made everyone laugh.

‘Producing-dol’ Jooheon also opened up about his musical concerns. Jooheon said, “I’ve made about 40 songs. I continued making songs even after I came back from vacation. I‘m thinking about which songs to select and make more of.” Among them, when Lee Yong-jin showed interest in the export of the remaining songs, Jooheon said, “Hyungdon hyung reserved my song. He always asks me to send him songs. He also sends me references.”

Jooheon, who usually loves his fans deeply, was also curious about his compatibility with Monbebe. Lee Yong-jin, who looked at the card, explained, “It’s a combination that becomes the driving force for artists to move a lot with the energy of fans.” Jooheon enthusiastically agreed, saying, “In fact, Monbebe is the one who created all of this.”

When Lee Yong-jin added, “Fans are like birds, not seasonal,” Jooheon said, “But why is that? We had a fan event yesterday, but he only listened to the song. He said, ”I haven‘t listened to any other songs,“ but he got all the song intro quizzes right,” showing cute jealousy.

Lee Yong-jin, who had finished the last tarot card, suddenly greeted him. Jooheon was taken aback and asked if he could just leave, and Lee Yong-jin said, “Is there anything you regret? Do you want to eat before you go? Do you want to see guest Jiyong later before you go?” Jooheon looked dumbfounded and replied, “GD senior...? Really? Is that really okay?” before expressing his excitement. He then looked disappointed when he heard that there was about an hour left before the recording started, and earnestly requested, “If GD senior comes, please tell him that I’m a fan.”

Lastly, Jooheon said, “I thought you‘d show a lot of your military side, but I was happy that Yongjin hyung made me feel comfortable and made the tarot reading fun. I would be grateful if you could look forward to my future activities as well.” Lee Yong-jin, who was watching, praised him, saying, “I had my tarot card read today, but you yourself are an interesting person. It was just fun talking to you.”

Meanwhile, Jooheon will appear on the ‘Mnet 30th Anniversary Chart Show’ that airs today (the 6th) at 9:20 PM. He will also present the first episode of season 2 of Monsta X’s own reality show ‘Eat Monsters Still High’ with Shownu, Minhyuk, and I.M on the 7th at 8:30 PM through Monsta X’s official YouTube channel.
