MONSTA X Delivers Laughter with Avatar Dating Episode on 'Monmukgo'

MONSTA X brings big laughs with their avatar dating concept.

Recently, MONSTA X released the 35th episode of their self-produced reality show 'Monmukgo' on their official YouTube channel.

In the video, the members gathered at a café to film an avatar dating episode. Through a random draw, Shownu and I.M became the controllers for Jooheon and Minhyuk, respectively. Despite their long-standing friendship, the members quickly immersed themselves in the dating scenario.

Facing each other, Jooheon and Minhyuk engaged in small talk before following their controllers' instructions. As the atmosphere turned sweet with playful flirting, Minhyuk diligently followed I.M's directions, while Jooheon humorously ignored Shownu's prompts, opting for his own style.

The avatar dating included a hidden mission: to hear a specific word frequently used by the other person. Shownu and Jooheon chose Minhyuk's common phrases "Well then" and "No," while I.M and Minhyuk selected Jooheon's "I" and "Yes." Jooheon humorously demanded Minhyuk to say "No," adding to the laughter.

After Minhyuk and Jooheon's avatar date, roles were switched with Minhyuk controlling I.M and Jooheon controlling Shownu. The word mission continued, with Jooheon and Shownu choosing I.M's "handsome" and "exercise," while Minhyuk and I.M selected Shownu's "me too" and "it's okay."

I.M took on a frustrated persona, while Shownu embraced his character as a Korean-American, struggling with I.M's barrage of English questions. I.M cleverly prompted Shownu to say "it's okay," scoring points, while Shownu tried to complete his mission but couldn't break through I.M's defenses.

The two engaged in playful activities like thigh wrestling, palm reading, and love shots, creating a sweet atmosphere. Shownu, without Jooheon's prompting, added his own ad-libs, winking and casting deep gazes, making I.M blush. They shared a drink with a heart-shaped straw, crafting a romantic movie-like scene.

In the end, Minhyuk and I.M emerged victorious, having prompted Shownu and Jooheon to say the mission words 72 times. As a reward, they planned a date course for Shownu and Jooheon, hinting at exciting future content.

Meanwhile, MONSTA X's reality show 'Monmukgo' airs every Friday at 8:30 PM on their official YouTube channel.
