The combination of ‘Monsta X’ that we trust and watch… ‘Discharged’ Monsta X Kihyun, found his entertainment sense right away (Cellphone Code)

His entertainment sense that was flying high is still there. Monsta X Kihyun successfully finished his first entertainment outing after his discharge.

Recently, a video titled ‘Monsta X Cyber Friendship Test | Monsta X Kihyun & Seventeen Woozi [Cellphone KODE]’ was released on the YouTube channel ‘KODE Code’.

Kihyun, who completed his military service last month and was discharged after his term, appeared that day with the nickname ‘Gam’. He and Seventeen Woozi, who was disguised as ‘Peach’, proceeded with an anonymous chat while guessing each other.

Before the full-fledged chat, Kihyun said, “I came to see you because it‘s time to find my sense? Here, Woozi joked, “It’s definitely not fun,” creating a cheerful atmosphere from the start.

While continuing their conversation, the two shared each other‘s phone home screens and explained their daily routines through apps. Kihyun mentioned exercise, YouTube, news, and real estate apps, and showed his undying love for fans by choosing “Checking out the fan cafe and being myself” as his last routine for the day.

While looking at Woozi’s home screen, Kihyun discovered the Korea Music Copyright Association app and a fan communication app, and showed off his sharp deductive skills by saying, “Are you a singer? You‘re 100% a singer.” He then leisurely joked, “How is it? Is sweat dripping down your back? Is it thick?” and showed off his undiminished entertainment sense.

Even though they didn’t know each other‘s identities, the tiki-taka continued like water flowing. Kihyun, who saw Woozi’s banking app, said, “You have 12 notifications? You must be rich?” Woozi responded, “In order to say that, I guess I should explain your finance folder first.” Kihyun burst into laughter after checking his finance folder, which had 635 notifications.

After that, Kihyun and Woozi continued their deduction by giving each other hints about their hobbies, playlists, recent purchases, and favorite items. As the last hint, Kihyun saw a childhood photo of Woozi and a spoiler, and successfully predicted various people, including Woozi.

At the end of the video, the two who confirmed each other‘s identities hugged each other and couldn’t hide their joy. Monsta X and Seventeen are music industry colleagues who debuted in May 2015. Kihyun saw Woozi and said, “Ah! Look at this! I talked about you before,” but also said, “I‘m upset. He immediately revealed a ‘real friends’ moment, saying, ”I feel really bad about your way of speaking.“

Monsta X and Seventeen are celebrating their 10th debut anniversary this year. The strong relationship between the two groups, which has continued for nearly 10 years, has garnered a hot response from fans early on, with fans calling them ‘Monventine’ (Monsta X + Seventeen). While fans of Kihyun and Woozi are also expressing their joy at their meeting, the video quickly rose to the top of the most popular videos on YouTube in Korea right after its release, proving just how popular they are.

Meanwhile, Kihyun met with fans on the 8th at a free fan event commemorating his discharge from the military, ‘TRIP TO KIKITOWN!’.

As the group’s official chef, he was recently cast in E Channel‘s food world tour variety show ‘International Student Eo Nam-seon (Ryu Nam-saeng)’ alongside actors Ryu Soo-young and Yoon Kyung-ho. ‘International Student Eo Nam-seon’ is a variety show where the cast travels to different places to learn unfamiliar cuisines from around the world and completes them with an ‘overseas kick’. It will premiere on E Channel on Saturday, May 17th at 5:20 PM.
