MONSTA X, Why Am I Excited About Avatar Blind Date… Straightforward Romance♥ (Monsta X, Even If You Eat Monsters)

The group MONSTA X has challenged themselves with an avatar blind date.

Recently, MONSTA X released the 35th episode of their own reality show ‘Monsta X, Even If You Eat Monsters’ through their official YouTube channel.

In this video, MONSTA X gathered at a cafe and filmed ‘Monsta X, Even If You Eat Monsters’ with the avatar blind date concept. It was a blind date between members, and through a random selection, Shownu and I.M were chosen to become pilots and control Jooheon and Minhyuk, respectively. Since the members have known each other for over 10 years, they showed a puzzled reaction to ‘true love’, but they were immediately immersed.

Jooheon and Minhyuk sat down first and lightened the mood with small talk before moving according to the orders of their respective pilots. As the atmosphere became sweeter with the flirting going back and forth like a real blind date, Minhyuk faithfully followed I.M‘s orders while Jooheon blocked Shownu’s jokes and moved of his own free will, making people laugh.

However, the avatar blind date included a mission where the other person would select one word they used frequently and listen to it as many times as possible. Shownu and Jooheon chose ‘Let‘s do that then’ and ‘No’ as Minhyuk’s frequently used words, while I.M and Minhyuk chose ‘I am’ and ‘Yes’ as Jooheon‘s frequently used words. Jooheon, who was doing the mission along with the blind date, went wild and demanded ‘No’ from Minhyuk, making people laugh.

This time, the roles were switched, with Minhyuk becoming I.M and Jooheon becoming Shownu’s avatar pilot. This time too, the mission of listening to many designated words was carried out, and Jooheon and Shownu chose ‘you‘re handsome’ and ‘workout’ as words that I.M would say a lot. Minhyuk and I.M chose ‘Me too’ and ‘It’s okay’ as words that Shownu would say a lot.

I.M, who went on a blind date, was given the concept of being really annoyed and started the skit. Shownu, who was given the concept of a Korean-American, completely immersed himself in the character, but he had a hard time because of I.M‘s barrage of English questions. Taking advantage of this, I.M led the mission word ‘It’s okay’ to score points, and Shownu, who didn‘t know this, tried to complete the mission in his own way, but was unable to overcome I.M’s iron wall.

Shownu and I.M created a pink(?) atmosphere by doing a thigh wrestling match, hugging each other, reading each other‘s palms, and doing a love shot. In particular, Shownu showed off explosive ad-libs even though Jooheon didn’t ask him to, and he also made hearts flutter with winks and deep gazes. At this, I.M blushed in embarrassment and shared drinks with heart-shaped straws, creating a scene from a romantic movie.

After completing the avatar blind date, the final result of the mission was that Minhyuk and I.M won by leading Shownu and Jooheon out of the mission words 72 times. As a special benefit for the winning team, Minhyuk and I.M planned a date course for Shownu and Jooheon, raising expectations for the next content.

Meanwhile, Monsta X‘s own reality show ‘Mon Eat Still’ is released every Friday at 8:30 PM on Monsta X’s official YouTube channel. Kihyun, who was discharged from the military last month, is scheduled to join soon, and Hyungwon is scheduled to be discharged in May.
