MONSTA X‘s ‘Mon Eat Go’ Joins Fully Completed Jooheon... Fun + Teamwork Deepens

MONSTA X announced a new start with ‘Mon Eat Go’ (hereafter ‘Mon Eat Go’) along with member Jooheon.

On the 14th, MONSTA X released ‘EP.34 Monmukgo Returns part.2 (MONMUKGO Returns)’ of their own reality show ‘Mon Eat Go’ through their official YouTube channel.

In the video, Shownu, Minhyuk, and Jooheon, who had been continuing the mission of ‘Picking 514g of strawberries’, got one last chance as a promise, but were unable to succeed in the end, leaving much to be desired. Even in the midst of deep regret, Shownu, Minhyuk, and Jooheon encouraged each other and gained strength, and finally gathered together with I.M.

With I.M joining, MONSTA X began the 99-second relay mission. With dinner on the line, MONSTA X, who were determined, took on the first challenge of kicking the shuttlecock 10 times, flipping 5 guitar picks, putting ping-pong balls in a cup 3 times in a row, and catching 4 or more coins that were thrown over the top. However, they failed because the difficulty level was reminiscent of a circus.

So, I.M made a promise to ‘eat monsters’ and got a chance to change the game. MONSTA X changed the game to flipping water bottles, putting ping pong balls in cups three times in a row, kicking quills ten times, and catching a stick using quick reflexes, and Minhyuk, the ‘Master of Negotiation’, convinced the production team and secured an additional 14 seconds.

In the end, MONSTA X successfully completed the mission. Following Shownu flipping the water bottle in one go, I.M put ping pong balls in cups three times in a row, and Jooheon also succeeded in kicking a stick with the members’ cheers. Minhyuk rejoiced after catching five out of six sticks in his first time trying catching a stick using quick reflexes.

Over dinner of spicy stir-fried chicken in a cauldron, MONSTA X talked about various things. Jooheon, who joined ‘Eat Monsters Even If You Go’ right after being discharged from the military, was fired up after hearing about the ‘Monsta X Eats: Three Brothers’ episode that Shownu, Minhyuk, and I.M did. In particular, I.M caught attention by mentioning things like skydiving, wearing a mask and giving free hugs, etc., saying that it would be nice to do a bucket list special on ‘Monsta X Eat’. At that time, Shownu said, “It might be good to try getting a new job. Find a job in an area of interest,”, and Jooheon shared ideas like he wants to try ‘Ta-chan’.

Meanwhile, the self-reality show ‘Monsta X Eat’, which has been enriched with the addition of Shownu, Minhyuk, I.M, and Jooheon who has returned from his military service, is released every Friday at 8:30 PM on Monsta X‘s official YouTube channel.
