It wouldn’t be a later-day MX special occasion without a bit of dramamaramama but nonetheless

Happy (now belated lol) anniversary to MX! We'll see you at the cb, bbs

What do you think of these rankings? Any other favorite MX songs / comebacks / moments etc?

I only really got into them last year, but damn I fell fast and hard lol. Though I remember really loving Beautiful and Need U back then. I still enjoy that era so much. I'm slighty annoyed because they played so many shows in Los Angeles in the past and I never bothered because I wasn't into them before lol.

I've never been able to get into dramarama, I guess it's a fan favorite judging by the results?

[em-cavey.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, they came to SF once when I was living there but I was still casual at that point so I didn’t want to bother and then they never came back

I have a lot of MX regrets though lol, I lived ACROSS THE STREET from Starship during 2014-2016 and saw the members on the block and around the neighborhood a bunch of times, and still I didn’t really care about or like them until after I moved back to the freaking states lol. My life choices…
It was actually Dramarama that first piqued my interest and it’s still one of my favorites! I know it’s definitely a kfan favorite.

Alligator is the one I love that no one else seems to like lolol

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Also, "and Shownu steadily plowing through about half of a cake."


...plow through me instead.


No, but it was cute! They gave him practically the whole cake and he just picked up a fork and started eating, no hesitation lol.

[em-cavey.livejournal.com]

I was really hoping you were going to take the bait when I wrote that lmaoo

❤️🥺

So I tried making this post yesterday with this clip as header but it didn’t have subs yet so it wasn’t allowed and I just went to bed lol. It STILL didn’t have subs when I checked today so I gave up and left it out. Thanks Starship 👍🏼

[em-cavey.livejournal.com]

Not to wallpaper my own post lol but for those who haven’t seen it, I’m leaving this Shownu sighting from a few days ago here bc this man is going to be the death of me istg

Basically an mbb ran into him and asked about his eyes and he said he was doing okay. And then she said she was sad he was going to miss the cb and he says, “How did you know?” Like, SIR???




“I was so startled after seeing Hyungwon that I didn’t get an autograph or pictures, but this time I took a shot as he walked away… it’s all I got, sorry…

I saw him and was like, is that Shownu…?? And he said, oh yeah hi, and came up to me and started talkingㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I asked if his eyes were okay and he said they were and I said I was sad he was missing the promos and he asked how did I know and I said they announced itㅋㅋㅋ I told him he’s lost weight and he said he’s actually gained some… His face was so thin his mask was almost hanging loose…

I told him I just saw Hyungwon and he said they were here together. Then we just talked about some other stuff before he left… It’s been a really long time… but it’s like I saw him yesterday… He’s exactly the sameㅋㅋ”

Rest of it is pretty much that she was really happy to see him and he stands out like crazy irl (which is very true 😵).


A bit later he posts to the fc with


WHY IS HE LIKE THIS

I love his dumb ass so much I hate it lmao

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

I really don't follow them closely enough to call myself a fan but congrats! I like Shoot Out lol that must be the song for the casuals. I remember when it came out I watched like every live stage

Also I got an ad for Ain't About You today on YouTube! Get promo, Wonho

[kyungwons.livejournal.com]

congrats to them! honestly it feels far longer than 6 years to me for some reason and looking at other groups who debuted in 2015 is crazy like the same year as day6? clc? day6 feels like even longer ago and clc feels far more recent what is time

[peachdrug.livejournal.com]

I voted for Jealousy, such an underrated title track. I feel like that's when Monsta X started to really get into their actual styling, and they brought harnesses into fashion! Too bad the MV isn't as great though. Apparently the Chaekkung/Hyungkyun shippers voted like crazy for Jealousy lol

I wish Beautiful got into the ranks, I know that Dramarama is a fan favorite because it's their number 1 win, but Beautiful deserves more :(

Their choreo definitely became better and stronger from Beautiful onwards. For months I was obsessed and kept watching the dance practices for Jealousy/Shoot Out/Beautiful/Alligator

I'd exchange Dramarama outfits with Alligator, like helloooo at this Shownu



Also makes me wish MX would go to the Met Gala and show them how to fashion, lol

And this alligator stage was the one that piqued my interest, because again, hellooooo Shownu


This past year has been a lot of ups and downs, but they solidified their strength as six, so let's hope their cb will go smoothly! Anyway I love them, I wish their new variety stuff aren't behind paywalls tho because they've released a loooot

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

any time i see that picture of shownu i want to climb him and paw at that solid chest of his

[vanilla-09.livejournal.com]

I'm like a casual fan but this was Shownu's best look tbh. I feel like he lost a lot of weight since then but he looks so good here.

[peachdrug.livejournal.com]

His 2019 form was 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 Especially with that concert glow

Like this was STUNNING, a Greek god


We suspected he lost weight because of his breakup, poor bb

[em-cavey.livejournal.com]

Early-mid 2019 Shownu was on another level entirely 😵😵😵

[em-cavey.livejournal.com]

Mte, I also would've switched Dramarama outfits with Alligator, aka the golden age of leather pants, they all looked so damn good that era. I think the options were only titles, right? If not, Play It Cool should have gotten some love too

Fffffff everything about THAT performance makes my brain short-circuit. I have never so badly wanted to pour a video directly into my eyes

[onechuxpunch.livejournal.com]

congrats on the anniversary! I replayed 'All in' so much when it first came out, it's probably my favorite title track from them. Also does anyone remember when they had a cameo on this cartoon? That was so unreal but really cute too ^ ^

[kastih.livejournal.com]

they did wbb right when my interest was starting to wane, which caused it to skyrocket back up lol. I still wish the creater would do like...a 5-min. ice bear& shownu special.




i'd cry.

[giriboy.livejournal.com]

i loved their wbb episode! ♡ it was on my dvr for ages, lol, i would rewatch it a lot

[1100003.livejournal.com]

Happy anniversary everyone!

Somehow, I've been around since No Mercy (lol what an awful time that was, god the way they introduced IM still leaves me cold). All in era stands out to me for some reason, probably not related to the music just that time in my life -_-

X-ray will always be classic.

[em-cavey.livejournal.com]

No Mercy was so counterproductive for me, I watched a bit of one episode after I learned about them and was so offput by some of the members that it took me a long time to come around lol. And yeah, clearly it was ultimately a good call to put Changkyun in the group but the way they brought him in was just farcical.

MX-ray is one of my pop culture happy places. The episodes with the babies (+ the Twotuckbebe series!) are still some of my go-tos when I need a blast of serotonin

[1100003.livejournal.com]

mte! KH holding up that tiny bb's head as he fell asleep while eating!!! I can never forget lol. For some reason I was way behind with Twotuckbebe and watched everything at once. I loved it! But it was an overdose of cute lol, would've been better spaced out over time for that reason alone.

[giriboy.livejournal.com]

whew, am i late to this post

i still have the 2nd anniversary (https://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/20350137.html) post for mx on my journal! and i still look at it, but it's crazy to think the last time i made one was in... 2017, wow. i know it's been a long time since i got into them but it honestly doesn't feel that long! it was that lull between rush and that 1st the clan mini—when changkyun & minhyuk were injured—and my interest in kpop was more casual then too. like, mx weren't the first kpop group i got into but they're the ones who stuck w/ me the longest. i wish i'd been able to see them more TT tho... their early tours i had to travel for, thx boston (and i did, for the beautiful one) but i only saw them as 7 once (at jingle ball & i missed their collab stage with the chainsmokers so i didn't see that much of them that night kajbkj)

jealousy is still my absolute favorite mx title track (followed by rush, love killa) and i really do wish it had a better rep in the fandom! i loved them doing that more, pure pop sound and i think it suits them really well... was really disappointed that it was a one-off thing, pretty much


> Any other favorite MX songs / comebacks / moments etc?
i have so many but i will stick with just the trespass demo jooheon + wonho + changkyun produced. all these years later and i still think it sounds better than the released version

Y'all listen to Original Version of TRESPASS entitled "TOO EASY" that composed by Producers Shin Hoseok& Lee Jooheon pic.twitter.com/YVIrvr3jtG (https://t.co/YVIrvr3jtG)

Also can I say justice for Flow, should've been a title track or at least give us a proper performance MV version of it ;;
