- My mum likes Joohon.
- Joohon?
- Yeah, and--
- I feel like you're a Wonho girl.
- Yeah it's funny you said that actually.
(soft electronic music)
- Today we are outside Wembley once again,
to speak to MONSTA X fans, before the MONSTA X concert.
- We're gonna chat to MONSTA X fans about

(soft piano music)
- Sell me MONSTA X in as few words as possible.
- Great music, kind people.
- Oh that was nice.
- They're just seven talented, amazing, fun--
- They're like giant cuddly
people. (laughing)
- I wondered where that was going.
- Well they're a group of great boys,
and they make really good music,
and it's really diverse so there's something for everyone
no matter what your music taste.
- They're like bears in human form, apart from Hyungwon.
He's like a Twiglet.
- Like a Twiglet?
- Like a Twiglet.
- In a good way? - Stretched out.
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Like a sexy Twiglet.
- Imagine I haven't heard MONSTA X before
and I don't know anything about them,
sell them to me.
- Gay or straight, yum.
- MONSTA.
- MONSTA!
- MONSTA.
- I'd say it's probably like
a darker twist on KPOP, like,
definitely with like Joohon and I.M.'s like
growly rap--
- Can you do it?
- No!
- Okay and what about their music itself?
How would you describe that?
Maybe like, in three words?
- It slaps.
And you've got one word left over, well done.
- Hard.
- Oh!
It slaps hard.
- Got like one of the best rap lines in KPOP I would say,
so anyone who loves like K-hip hop,
or like something maybe slightly darker,
I think that would be good.
- Are we talkin' about a range of snacks?
- Oh yes.
- Full--
- Meal deal, meal deal.
- Are we talkin' Boots, are we talkin' Co-Op?
- I think Tesco's.
- Tesco's. - No Waitrose, Waitrose.
- I think it's just very like exciting
and it just hypes you up a lot,
and you just wanna get up and like start dancing,
which we do.
- If you wanna party, the right music to choose.
- I feel like intense is a very good word.
- Yeah, not just like the songs,
but the looks as well.
- Have you got the choreo down?
Do you know what you're doing?
- For most of 'em, yeah.
Yeah. - We used to be in a dance
group so-- - Yeah we did.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Can you do any now?
- Oh my god no.
On the spot.
- But sure, okay.
- Alligator, so--
- Oh yeah, alligator.
(soft piano music)
What is the significance of BTS playing at Wembley?
BTS? (both laughing)
I read the wrong questions!
- I think it's really good for them,
'cause they really deserve it after like
the time they debuted 'til now.
I think they really deserve this atmosphere.
- Well Wembley arena was actually the place
where I came for my first concert ever,
like the first time I've ever been to a concert.
- Who's that?
- That was actually Fall Out Boy.
- Really?
- Yeah so music taste's changed,
but venue doesn't.
- Last time they were playing in Hammersmith Apollo,
and it was such a small venue, it's next to my house though.
But, it's such an honour to play in a big place like that,
and it's near Wembley city, where they're gonna be next!
- I think it sort of shows that they're here,
and they want to make their mark.
- Really big, and it sort of like is a well known
place as well, and NCT's just performed here as well so.
They can hang out.
- I guess it's like music is powerful like that,
and people don't really get it.
- Definitely transcends languages.
- Can you say that one more time,
and look to the camera?
- It transcends languages.
- 'Cause obviously they're Korean, we're English,
so it shows that they're breaking down the barriers
between countries, and I think it's great.
- What is the significance of Wembley Arena for MONSTA X?
- Oh it's just like such a big platform
for them to be like, look at my bondage.
(girl mumbling)
- They were playing at a venue for like 3,000 people,
now they're here, SSE Arena,
which is like the third biggest venue in London,
so like it's just a massive glow up.
That's what I think it is.
- That is the best phrase, a glow up.
- It's just slowly making big waves into KPOP in the UK.
- Can you show us what you've got in your hands?
- Oh it's the banner for the concert.
(slow piano music)
- What is different about MONSTA X,
and why are they so special to you?
- Oh no.
They're just like, they really don't care what people think,
and like Wonho for example,
like body, wow.
Again.
And usually that's a bit like, it's not looked down on,
but it's just not broadly seen,
but he just goes for it.
He's like take off my shirt, look at my nips.
- I feel like their fans are a lot nicer, is one thing.
And then just their music's a lot more powerful,
and their dancing's a lot more powerful
than a lot of groups.
- I think like they're really close with their fans,
and they really appreciate how much their fans
really mean to them.
- They're very genuine.
Like you can just tell that they enjoy
everything that they do and they love
interacting with the fans in a way that,
like obviously a lot of KPOP do but,
they just come across very warm.
- And their music is really like inspiring,
so I think that it's definitely like a really good thing
that they're different.
- Just go listen to them.
The music says it all.
- It's like they very much do their own thing,
and when they release a song,
or they release a music video,
or they release anything,
it's very on-brand for them,
like you can tell that it's them.
- So like, when I first got into KPOP
I was always introduced into the pop side of it,
and I wouldn't really class all of MONSTA X's
music as pop.
- I just feel like the vibe that they give off
is so different compared to all the other groups,
and they just, I can't find any words that describe
just how amazing they are.
And yeah. - You just gotta play it cool.
- That was a good one.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- They're our heroes.
- And they dance like, oh my god.
They're so good.
- The rap line makes a massive impact,
and obviously Kihyun's vocals like,
can you get any better?
- He's my bias as well,
so his vocals are completely like off the charts.
(slow piano music)
- What's your proudest moment as a Monbebe?
- It's gonna be when we're in there,
in the concert, and the lights go up,
and they come on stage.
With my Monbebe light stick,
that's gonna be the highlight of my life.
- Will there be tears?
- Yes. - Yeah.
- Oh, my gosh.
Knowing that I go see MONSTA X here.
- So today's a very special day for you.
- Very, very special day.
- They were on Good Morning Britain which I guess--
- Like that's an achievement for KPOP but
I don't want Piers Morgan to be there.
- Do you know what, I was about to say,
it's an achievement for anyone that can part
with Piers Morgan.
- Standing here right now, and going to
not only my first MONSTA X concert,
but my first KPOP concert as well.
- It's your first one?
- Yes.
- Everything they've done is just,
it just makes me proud to be a Monbebe.
- This world tour, because not only is it like
really big and they're going to loads of stops and
they're getting really well known
and I've met loads of people who are going to this one.
It's also because I get to go so I'm biassed.
- Oh just, even if it's a small stage,
they just make it their own, and I'm like,
yes, own it Daddy.
(slow piano music)
- Who is the most handsome?
- You can't make me choose!
- Who do you feel is the most handsome member?
- Wonho. - Really?
- Yeah, yeah, really.
- Can you elaborate?
- He's just so beautiful, like when he takes pictures
like obviously he kind of goes into like his serious mode,
and he looks amazing, but then
when they film, he just does this cute little smile.
- Actuality.
- Yeah, exactly.
That like, Jimin is my BTS bias,
and it's kind of the same thing for me.
- We don't blaspheme, okay?
We're not talking about BTS today.
- Sorry.
- Why would you do that to me?
- I hate myself for it.
- Chang-kyun.
- No hesitation?
- No.
- Why? - He's my bias.
He's got a big nose, and I love him.
- Oh okay.
I like Jimin 'cause he's got tiny hands
from BTS so, I relate.
- You like him 'cause he's got tiny hands?
- Well 'cause I've got tiny hands.
- Oh me too!
- Oh god, yeah!
- I have to say Wonho, Wonho.
- Why?
- Because he's Wonho.
- My mum likes Joohon.
- Joohon?
- Yeah, and--
- I feel like you're a Wonho girl.
- Yeah it's funny you said that actually.
- Handsome, I'm gonna have to say Shownu.
- I.M., 'cause he's great, and I love him, so yeah.
- Bit of a legend.
- Yeah, pretty much, so.
But all of them obviously.
- I'm very torn but Shownu, Minhyuk, and Wonho
are all kind of up there for me.
- That's greedy.
- I know, I can't choose.
- Who's the most handsome, and just give me
a quick reason why.
- Joohoney 100 because ya.
- Kihyun.
- Why?
- Well 'cause she says my type's like tiny lesbian,
and he kinda looks like a tiny lesbian.
- Nice.
- As myself, a tiny lesbian.
She likes them a lot.
- All of them.
- No that's just greedy, I need one name.
- Hyungwon.
- And why?
- Because I feel like he needs more appreciation.
- Wonho, Wonho, Wonho.
- Yeah good.
Joohon, dimples.
- It's definitely Kihyun.
He's just, his vocals are incredible,
and he just seems like such a bubble person,
that you could just have a good chat with.
- Thank you for watching.
