Y'all I just saw Monsta X live in Atlanta on Saturday, and I'm in such a post concert depression right now. ಥ⌣ಥ

They were so sweet and funny, and it felt unreal seeing them in person. Their live vocals are insane, and they're so freaking beautiful omg.

I don't interact with other kpop fans irl very often, so I didn't expect all of the fellow Monbebe's there to be so freaking nice!!

Also, for anyone who is going to a kpop concert I highly recommend to up your outfit game for that day. Literally every fan there was dressed like they could be kpop idols about to perform, I felt very plain lol.

It was my first kpop concert so I made sure to get a lightstick beforehand, and omg I waved that thing all night as if my life depended on it. My arm was very sore on Sunday, and my legs felt numb cuz I almost never sat down, but it was very worth it. (*´∀`*)

Now imma be sulking every day and listening to only Monsta X for a good month cuz I'll probably never get an opportunity to see them in person like that again.

My friend and I had gotten pretty cheap tickets, but our seats didn't even feel far away at all. The arena was a lot smaller than we thought it was gonna be, so we ended up actually pretty close to the stage.

If I ever get a chance to see them again though, I'm definitely willing to spend every penny I have on getting somewhere in the front.

I'm surprised I didn't start randomly crying. For some reason I expected that I would start sobbing when I saw them cuz I just love them so much, but I think I was in too much awe by their beauty and god vocals that I just couldn't cry lmao.

They mostly sung newer songs, the oldest they sung was Dramarama (even tho that's technically not very old I guess). They also made sure to include Shownu as much as they could, even though he wasn't there.

We chanted Shownu's name, and they held up a picture of him. He's even included on all of the merch they were selling (I made sure to get a shirt with all of the tour locations on the back, plus a hoodie and a poster 😊).

There were a ton of iconic moments in just that one night omg. All of the Monbebe's in the crowd held up paper hearts while they performed Find You, and Jooheon and Minhyuk talked about how touched they were by it.

Jooheon also beatboxed for us. Kihyun also flexed his god vocals whole Joo and Minhyuk danced adorably.

A backup dancer got his shirt ripped off and everyone went nuts lmao.

Minhyuk got drenched in water by Hyungwon.

Hyungwon picked up a girls cowboy hat and wore it for it bit. I thought that was cool cuz I saw the girl who was wearing it in line with us while we were waiting to get in.

Hyungwon also wore that silly bee hat that everyone is talking about on Twitter.

Someone had thrown it onto the stage and he wore it all the way until the end of the show.

It was truly one of the best nights of my life, and I keep going to Twitter and seeing other people's concert highlights. I've also got a few recordings of my own, but I didn't want to be on my phone the whole night so I only recorded my favorite songs.

It all feels like a fever dream I stg.

If I had the money to go again, going to concerts would be like a drug and I'd be addicted.

Stray Kids are also going on tour, and they're my ult group. I think I would actually for real sob if I got to see them in person, but even the far away tickets were ridiculously expensive so I never got the upper hand when they went on sale. 🙃

Has anyone else gotten to see Monsta X during this tour? I think they're a little over halfway done with the tour now.

I remember I.M. said "usually this far into a tour we'd be really exhausted by now, but for some reason we've got a lot of energy tonight." He told us that the vibes there were good, and that we really hyped them up. 🥺

Imma be depressed for like a month now, I almost had to be dragged back to the car cuz I just wanted to stay in paradise forever.

The audio is extremely bad, but this was one of my most favorite moments where we all shouted "MONSTA X, WE THE BEST!" 💜

K-Pop Spotlight: Stray Kids

Stray Kids are back with their noisiest and most memorable album yet. To celebrate, we caught up with the self-producing boy group to talk about their second full album NOEASY, the new single “Thunderous,” and some of the lessons they’ve learned in the three years since their debut. Check out our full interview below!

Where did the inspiration for the album title NOEASY come from? Would you consider your Stray Kids sound to be noisy, and do you like that description?

Bang Chan: We did a little wordplay with the words “no easy” and “noisy,” meaning that in a world where things aren’t so easy, we will be noisier and noisier. I actually don’t mind people describing our music as noisy ’cause that’s what we’re trying to be. The loudest noise that everyone will remember!

Changbin: Since our title songs are typically powerful and performance-based, I’m sure some people think our music is a little noisy. With that said, some people enjoy that sort of energy. We also get energized and have fun on stage, so I think the expression “noisy” is a positive thing. The title NOEASY is a spirited response to all the noise that distracts us and gets in our way—to say that we’re not an easy match and we won’t back down.

You celebrated your third anniversary as a group earlier this year (congrats!)—what are some of the (harder) lessons you’ve learned over the years as a group that produces all of their own music?

Hyunjin: During these past three years, the things I’ve learned are the love of STAY and how to love more. Additionally, through countless performances, I think my stage skills have also improved.

HAN: I was amazed and thankful to learn that the songs I write and create can move people. I hope to continue making good music that will move more people and continue to touch their hearts!

Felix: I learned that it’s hard to reach many goals in life. However, over the past years, I’ve learned to ask for help and feedback from my members. As time goes by, we’ve strengthened our team play to overcome anything.

What’s the first song you remember loving, or what is one of your recent favorite songs?

Bang Chan: Out of Stray Kids songs? “Hellevator” because it was our first official song as Stray Kids.

Lee Know: I was told that when I was a child, I used to dance and sing along to the music on the radio that my parents would listen to. I think that’s when I first started loving music, but I can’t remember what those songs were!

Changbin: “개똥벌레” (T/N: This song translates to “Firefly” in Korean and is a nursery song.)

Hyunjin: I think my favorite song is “Secret Secret” because HAN and I share the same emotional wavelength, and the lyrics really resonated with me.

HAN: I really liked “D” by DEAN!

Felix: “Grow Up” is a song we always sang together with our STAY during our concerts and performances. This song brings back a lot of unforgettable memories for me.

Seungmin: Kim Dong Ryul’s “Drunken Truth”

I.N: My favorite song from this album is “Thunderous!”

Many of you were really into anime and exercise as your stress-relief/hobbies the last time we spoke. Tell us a little bit about what you are into these days, outside of your activities as Stray Kids.

Bang Chan: Umm, I’m still exercising daily, and these days I’ve been using Felix’s Switch to play games.

Lee Know: I either cook or go to a cafe to read a book.

Changbin: I like working out!

Hyunjin: I study art and draw. I like to have my own time of healing in my free time by watching other artists on YouTube.

HAN: I still watch anime, go on YouTube, work on music, and exercise. I think I tend to gravitate more towards things I can do at home rather than outside.

Felix: If I have the time, I go out bike riding, walk in the park, or look for some new recipes to cook for the people around me.

Seungmin: I’ve been enjoying taking vocal lessons and playing the guitar sometimes! I’ve also developed a deep interest in coffee, so I’ve been exploring different machines and flavors.

I.N: I recharge by laying in bed and watching YouTube or movies.

On these last few albums, we’ve seen some unit songs developed outside of the usual 3RACHA team. Do your members ever surprise or excite you by what they come up with when you’re working as a new unit?

Bang Chan: Yes, it’s always surprising and exciting! It’s really unexpected, and their ideas are really good, too, so it’s always fun to work as units.

Changbin: It’s even more inspiring and helpful when I hear other ideas outside of my own.

Seungmin: I was blown away by Felix’s rap and vocals in “Surfin’!” I remember being very pleasantly surprised by the originality/freshness of his self-written rap.

You’ve all grown so much as people and performers since your debut. How has that growth impacted your sound and the themes in your music?

Lee Know: As we’ve grown, we’ve widened our range of music and performances, which has allowed Stray Kids the ability to convey a broader range of expressions.

Seungmin: In my case, I think I’ve become a reliable vocalist for Stray Kids! In order to sing our team’s songs well, I’m honing my singing ability so that I can pull off any type of melody 3RACHA creates.

I.N: Our album contains songs of diverse genres, and singing this wide variety of songs has helped me grow a lot.

If you could have a meal with your families anywhere in the world tonight, what would you be eating and where?

Bang Chan: Just having a normal dinner with the fam at home would be nice.

Lee Know: I think it would be the best if I could have a home-cooked meal with my family at our home in Gimpo. There’s no place more comfortable than that, and Soonie, Doongie, and Dori (our cats) are there, too.

Changbin: I want to go to Australia and eat steak!

Hyunjin: I want to visit Japan with my parents and go to a hot spring again. I’d like to eat the grilled skewers that we had there last time.

HAN: I would like to have a BBQ party and grill tons of meat like chicken, beef, pork, lamb, etc. It would be fun to rent a vacation home and just eat and have fun!!

Felix: I’d love to eat in Australia with my family at a nice, big, fancy restaurant, just enjoying the view, the food, and having the time of our lives together.

Seungmin: I would like to cook and enjoy a meal together at home. It’s the best when you can eat good food and have good conversations in a comfortable atmosphere!

I.N: I would like to grill and eat pork belly in Hawaii while looking out at the ocean.

You being a new soloist under HYBE Labels

✨gender neutral✨

no specified age, no specified race

(y/n) = your name, (s/n) = your stange name

💫 Everyone seems to love you already, before you even debut!

-You've already got that "big company clout," so it wasn't hard for you to gather a fanbase just because of that, but what gets most people's attention is how interactive you are with fans.

-You've also given everyone a sneak peek of your talents with song and dance covers.

🌟 You were lucky enough to get permission to go public online once it was announced you'd debut in a few months.

-You'd constantly go live on Instagram or Vlive, and you like to tweet random things (nothing stupid tho lmao, you don't need a bad rep).

🌠 Whether you're shy or not, you instantly make friends with BTS...mainly because they'll force you into friendship lmao.

-Not saying that you wouldn't wanna be friends with BTS, you were probably already a fan of them before you debuted. So it might be super awkward and overwhelming now working at the same place as the people you look up to, and even moreso having to actually interact with them sometimes.

-Y'all already know how much BTS adores TXT, and how overwhelmed TXT usually get by their seniors excitement.

-Well trust me, they fanboy over you just as much as they do over TXT.

-You're just one little person, so it can get overwhelming having 7 extremely famous men get so hyped over you.

-They're like your crazy older brothers, but they can genuinely give you good advice and comfort when you seem stressed.

-Sometimes one of them will remember a small thing about you that you've probably only told them one time, and things like that really make you realize that they do care for you and that they've got your back. It would make you feel more comfortable knowing that you're not just coworkers, you're like family.

💫 TXT likes to call you their "6th member."

-gOd they just want a collab with you so badly, so that they can pretend you're a member of the group. 🥺

-You probably hang out with them the most. They make you feel less lonely while being a soloist.

-Of course you can't hang with them when they're busy, but they always blow up your phone with messages.

-Be prepared for them to run up to you at award shows and either pounce on your back, or embrace you in a tight group hug.

-They'd probably introduce you to some of their friends in ATEEZ and Stray Kids. You'd all form somekind of a squad.

🌟 Meeting Enhyphen was not awkward at all really. Maybe because they're still a brand new rookie group, so you weren't far behind them.

-You're a lot more casual with the Enhyphen boys than how awkward you are with BTS, and how clingy you are with TXT.

-You probably do a lot more videos with Enhyphen than any other group. Where the staff makes y'all play dumb games together, and all of you don't really wanna be there but you still have so much fun because everyone is kinda just vibing and laughing.

🌠 You'd more than likely meet Seventeen sometime along the way.

-Y'all know how wild Seventeen is, you'd prolly not survive a day with them tbh.

💫 I always forget that KOZ ent is under HYBE now, so you might meet Zico!

-Idk about you, but I'd die.

-I'm such a huge fan. (┳Д┳)

🌟 Form somekind of a little collab group. The HYBE equivalent to SuperM?

-The most popular members of each group?

-Jungkook, V, Yeonjun, Hueningkai, Heeseung, Ni-Ki, Mingyu, Wonwoo, and (S/n)!

-Taehyung would prolly be the leader lmfao. Mainly because of his seniority compared to the rest of y'all. It would be weird for him to suddenly lead a group of kiddos, but I think he'd do a good job.

-You'd be the center/face of the group, since you're the only soloist in the group, so you can probably do a little of everything.

🌠 Idk why I'm talking about this kind of last, but your debut concept would probably be lighthearted and little pop-ish.

-BigHit lately has been really into the "fresh, young, and free" kind of style if you know what I mean. For example, debutes like Crown and 20 Cube/Let Me In.

-Then you'd obviously gradually transfer to a darker concept, probably with an edgy storyline mixed into everything.

💫 I think they'd let you write your own music if you wanted to.

-Your big title tracks would most likely be pre-written, but the rest of your albums would come straight from your soul.

🌟 Be prepared to go on a wild ride with the HYBE fam, you've got a lot of new non-blood brothers.

-There's never a day where you aren't being followed around everywhere by at least 2 or more of them.

-When one group's busy, there's still like 3 whole other groups wanting you to join them in whatever nonsense they're up to.

🌠 Also be prepared for those awkward company photoshoots, where all of the idols are together at once and it's like a family reunion, but you're all dressed in fancy clothes and taking uncomfortable photos together.
