Fantasia and the Fantasia X album are often underrated. It was a hard time for the fandom because it was the first comeback without Wonho. But you can definitely see how much effort the guys put in to make sure we wouldn't feel they were lacking. The dance is incredibly difficult and I've yet to see it covered correctly. There's this insane kick and slide combo that baffles me.
Wonho actually has fear of height (acrophobia) and i read somewhere that he had to take pills while filming Hero MV, this fact make me love him even more, he is so precious 🥺🥺
When they started they didn't have many resources, that's why you should see No Mercy, and they didn't have a smartphone until they won their first award in musical Shows, and that was with Dramarama, you should see that presentation. Important fact about Hero, Wonho is afraid of heights, he had to take medication to calm his anxiety, Important fact about Fantasia, Jooheon was returning from a hiatus due to anxiety and it was his first MV and official Comeback as a 6 member.
They had 5 dollars, a dream and one chance and they delivered HERO hahaha! Beautiful is part of the lore from monsta x "the x clan" and fun fact... fantasia has one of the most intense choreos EVER, they never performed it again because of that, but the stages from this era were everything.
The random guy thay turns up at the petrol station in Rush was Giriboy. He is a rapper and was involved in a lot of their earlier music releases. He was also a guest judge on the survival show No Mercy which is the show they all competed in to become Monsta X. You need to watch No Mercy, its intense.
Yeah they used to have a delinquent-esque image up until Beautiful comeback. Understandable since No.mercy leaned into the hip-hop concept and SSE housed rappers like Giriboy and Mad Clown. But then you get to know them off stage, they're wholesome and harmless 😂 Fantasia was the first cb without Wonho so it felt more like a revenge song for the hater and that they're here to stay bc the visuals were popping off and the song was HARD. Oh! If you like noise music, just wait till you hear Sambakja, Fallin', Zone and Rodeo. Monsta X makes bloody good concert bangers, the rave type music.
They know how to make a song powerful and melodic at the same time, that's their signature for me. Coming from a hard rock/heavy metal background, I appreciate the aggression in their music so much, but I wouldn't like it without the beautiful melodies and the amazing vocal performance (singing and rap). This is the magic power/symphonic heavy metal has for me , and these guys do the same, just in another genre. They give me hard hitting melodic songs I can also dance to!! I love them!
before i discovered mx i used to listen to mostly rock as well and never vibed with this type of sound, i would think its trashy. but then came along monsta x and they made me love noise music and edm. an esquisite blend of both worlds topped by their strong vocals sometimes mixed in with beautiful tones and hues of rnb and hiphop. its mostly kihyun who give me that classic rock chorus feels but sometimes jooheon and the old raspier hoseok as well and changkyun in that switched fighter 😂. monsta x has created their own unique timeless genre so for me they are always the standard. when other groups approach this genre, most of the times they fall flat and poorly delievered and bring back that unpleasent atmosphere of trashy (sorry im not sorry).
Hero was very successful and its a famous song in Kpop but bc it wasn’t a title track they didn’t get any awards for it You need to watch Love dance practice the Vibe outfits version - u gonna 💀 Also watch Monsta X RIGHT NOW it’s their first tv show and its the best one to start
Fantasia is forever Queen among Monsta x's title tracks and one of my ult song along with gambler. It was the first comeback after wonho left and Jooheon hiatus, so the song basically about them stay strong and back on a roll in kpop industry after experienced trains of hate attacks, their synergy as a team, nothing's gonna stop them (it shows in minhyuk scene where lot of hands trying to grab him down). We're trying to cheer and hype up the boys throughout that year❤ Unfortunately this comeback was when corona started, so they never perform it on concert 😭 PS : this is the most exhausting choreography
You've become one of my favorite Monsta X reactors. It's obvious you really love them. It makes my heart happy to see people discovering Monsta X. They deserve the world. P.S. I love your EXO videos too!
Fantasia really cemented my admiration and respect for Kihyun cause that man never fails to sing his parts out loud stably while dancing to one of mx's most exhausting choreo. He even has a solo dance while belting those high notes, like he couldve lipsynced and everyone wouldve understood but he said NOPE my mic is ON!! Even I get exhausted in their stead every time I watch their performances for fantasia T_T They even tried to sing this in spanish on hello82 on youtube and they even played the telephone game in spanish too! They were super extra and hilarious, you NEED to watch it sometime! If you're going through their title tracks, there's a few that you're missing: follow and shine forever. Stuck and play it cool arent title tracks but they got mvs! For their japanese albums, there are x-phenomenon (love how rapline centric this song is), livin it up and wanted. For more of their time travel lore, there are 'find you' and 'the connect music film' to watch! Im pretty sure im missing something but im sure other comments will add some more recs :) Thank you for uploading these videos♡♡
Yes Fantasia is everything live the choreography the outfits were all custom made for them dont know it was the most exciting era cuz people assumed they were going down as a group with everything that was happening at that time
I think the most important Korean MV's that you're still missing would be "Stuck", "Newton", "Shine Forever", "Find You" and "Follow"! And then for the english tracks "Play It Cool" feat Steve Aoki, "Who Do You Love", "Middle Of The Night", "You Can't Hold My Heart", "One Day", "You Problem" and "Whispers In The Dark" (I went from oldest to most recent with all of these) There still might be some missing and I also left out japanese mv's for now. Plus there's also a lot of solo stuff!
Heyy👋 For their 1st English album All about Luv, there are music videos for: Middle of the night, Who do u love? Someone's Someone and You can't hold my heart. Then for their 2nd english album The Dreaming, there are music videos for Whispers in the dark, You problem and One day.💛 Love your reactions & Hope this helps🫶
Yeah, Monsta X really goes above and beyond as performers. Wonho is terrified of heights, but did the Hero MV and bungee jumped off a building in Monsta X Right Now (One of the early variety shows they did) and Kihyun started doing running to ensure that he would have the stamina to sing and do choreography at the same time.
I use Yt music for songs not available on Spf. One of those being their video for" Beautiful ACOUSTIC version"🥺 Warning : Bunny tears. Kiki.... MX don't do a alot of ballads. But the ones they have hits 🎯❤. "Broken Heart" off the Rush EP. Then " In time" & "Find You" years later. "Misbehave" and "The Dreaming" from their English albums. Are just gorgeous.
'Hero' and 'Beautiful' are my first MX songs and MV's aka the songs from them that caught my attention. I just love both the melody, beats and lyrics 😊 Ah also, you need to see the acoustic version of 'Beautiful' it'll hit you right in the feels 🥹
Hero is the first video I saw from them ❤ it had come out like that week and I've been with them ever since. Because it was so near the beginning, there was basically no content so I probably watched it at least 1,000 times while I was trying to learn all their names. It has a special place in my heart ❤
Oh also sorta fun fact but Hero was so popular that they performed it like ALL the time for a long time and they admitted they hated it for a while because of that. They don't any more of course it's been so long lol
Fantasia was actually so great. My understanding of it is: It was their first comeback without Wonho and they had lost fans and people were speculating they weren't gonna survive as a group. And then they came out with Fantasia. It's all about how they are coming back, they are still strong, they will make it no matter what the haters are saying or how they try to bring them down. So the interpretive dancers kinda represent their haters and competitors like reaching for them but them basically saying 'no, we're untouchable, we're on another level'
I believe you have Follow and Shine Forever to finish the title tracks for korean songs. There are also special clips and self cams to dive into before albums although they are bsides so how about listening to the albums and watch the videos if they have clips or self cams? or u can do whatever u want, i am down for anything anyway lol
My favorite English song is one day. I've listened to that song so much, and it's the reason why I got into monsta x. Now they are an ult group and I have 3 ults(i.m, joohoney,and minhyuk)and bias the rest of the group lol def check the mv for it! Tbh the whole the dreaming album is fantastic. You problem is also on that album and has a mv. ❤
Hello dear, thank you very much for reacting to Monsta X again, I love your objectivity and points of view, I have already become a regular fan of your Monsta X, reactions, I love when people see the videos or listen to the boys' songs and then become Fans because they discover how talented they are. Thank you a lot!!
oh i highly recommend to check Fantasia stages, Kihyun's vocals were legendary❤ thank you for reaction bebe ^^ (guess i might calling you that since you became one of us)
Thank you so much for another reaction. I know when I get into a group I just want to binge like all their content so I appreciate you saving some of that for us, it's so fun to watch. Going from not knowing who they are to buying full blown merch in a week is relatable AF 😆💓
Poor Wonho doing Hero was not easy for him and yes he had to take medication to be up there . Also in future series when there doing different challenges you will see how scared he is off heights but at the same time our little bunny is brave . Beautiful for me is one of my favourite tracks and fantasia for different reasons it’s the first come back without Wonho which was sad but also Joohoney come back after his hiatus so for me it’s happy and sad still to this day when I here it . I’m really enjoying your reaction and so glad you’re giving us so much content .
Thank you for your reaction! I agree with you about sound of Monsta X, there are always great melodies in their songs among the ‘noise’ music, and this is really very enjoyable for me too, and I think this caught my attention . Can’t wait for your other reactions (especially for Shine Forever - brilliant one, Find you - sad one, Stuck - one of my favorite old stuff)
hero is just a bside from the same album as rush and it was made into a special clip, they do special clips for bsides like unofficial mvs lmao but somehow that hero clip has the most views over 100M. not even other title track has crossed over the 100M line yet
I love the original version of Hero and listen to it all the time, but I do think I listen to the broadcasting version a bit more, it’s more heavily dubstep lol There is also an acoustic version of Beautiful with a MV! I loooove the drums in Fantasia! In the MV, the dancers and the news and hands reaching all basically represent the rumors flying around and people that tried to drag them down. The dancers collapse at the end while MX are still standing. If I remember correctly Fantasia was a contender to be the title track for the previous album instead, but they went for Follow and saved Fantasia. They actually have performed it multiple times, including a few concerts. One of my favorites is the stage they performed with Cravity for the 2020 MBC Music Festival! For Korean titles, there’s Shine Forever and Follow. Because you checked out Kiss or Death, there is also their other Universe release too called If With U Thank you as always for your reactions! 🥰🥰
I don’t think you can react to it because it’s from a music show but I think you’ll enjoy this Fantasia part switch 😂😊: th-cam.com/video/GC1M18RQBEE/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
All of these songs (with the exception of RUSH sorry) have such a special place in my heart. Hero was the very first Monsta X I ever heard and they hooked me with it. Beautiful was my first official comeback as a monbebe and I nearly lost my mind. (I became a monbebe some time just after Fighter promotions ended.) And Fantasia at the time, felt like a reassurance that after all the BS of 2019 Monsta X wasn't ever going away and they were stronger now more than they were ever before. And now Fantasia is one of my favorite title tracks. A few suggestions that may have already been mentioned: Shine Forever (has some of Kihyun's best adlibs & vocal runs) Follow (the last comeback with Wonho 😣) Who Do U Love? (their 1st English song) Play It Cool w/Steve Aoki ( English version has mv but they performed Korean version on music shows) COOL LOVE - Hyungwon & Hongbin (VIXX) (it's a song for Pepsi but it's so good)
You caught it! One of the things I love about MONSTA X, is that since the beginning, what they sing and no matter the language they sing in, no matter how many years go by, you can still hear its THEM, its THEIR sound and style. They are staying true to their musical DNA, even though their debut and style weren't exactly the mainstream, they still stuck with it. MONSTA X is kinda like a kpop rebel group. When they accepted the sexy sound, that is 3rd gen, they were like; 'Okay, we'll do it, but we'll do it OUR way.' And they turned the sexiness of 3rd gen up to a bold 200% 😅 Also, their english tracks... its like; 'This is kinda inappropriate, we can't sing about in the proper South Korea... so, let's sing it in English! They'll never know.' 😜 I love groups, just going against the mainstream, not wanting to give up their sound for popularity. I feel like groups like ATEEZ are like this too and SUPER JUNIOR, with whom there's no doubt, despite active through two generations, whenever they release new music, you can just hear it's them ☺️😊
Beautiful es una de mis favoritas de Monsta X, es maravillosa, junto a Jealousy, y Fantasia fue una de las que me llevó a ser Monbebe, junto a Follow y Shoot out. Gracias por tus reacciones, y por ayudarnos en esta espera.🌷
So yes they where actually up that high in hero lol. Wonho is deathly scared of heights. And the time he can only go up high is if he has to because of a challenge and he will show you how scared he is. Or in this one they had to give him anxiety medication for it. To make sure he was able to do it. I saw them in 2019 but before our wonho left and they did this song and the background was like Mario type lol they been performing this for so long because it’s very popular. Beautiful is the last song in the trilogy of all in and fighter. And I know what you mean with hyungwon attacking you on the live stages you watch. He was already my ult bias and I saw them live and seeing him so close with his iconic long dark hair oh my gosh he’s so handsome in person. They all are. For me the way they look on mv or anything it’s so different that seeing them in person. They can make you drop your jaw 😂
I can't tell you how much I love Rush ahahahaha, that song has stood the test of time for me lol. So TT/MVs you still have: Shine Forever, Follow, Newton, Beautiful Liar, Find You (my favorite mv) and also so many self cam mvs! whoooo!
19:38 Same, girl, same. 😂 Joohoney completely DESTROYS me & my whole world, every single time I watch this part!!! I'm seriously considering getting this scene painted as a life sized mural on one of my walls someday.... ❤️🐝💯❤️
I just smiled watching ur videos it’s such a mbb thing to say “they look so cute” Other fandom say stuff like hot sexy watching them but mbb see them shirtless and say they look cute 😂
Of the korean title tracks your missing Shine Forever and Follow. Follow is the last cb with Wonho. He left right after the release. The stages of that comeback really hurt to watch because all the bad feelings come back. The boys and also we as fans went through a lot during that time.. The first one without Wonho (which was basically just the next day after everything happened) is definitely the worst one to watch. You can clearly see the sadness, frustration, anger and exhaustion in their faces..
You calling Changkyun b*tch was so funny. 😂😂 With Fantasia I can't help but think about the dance practice, specifically the costume version, it's engraved in my brain.🦖 I could talk for hours about how much I like Beautiful, the song, the MV, the outfits, the make up, the dance, omg the freaking way they take off their jackets and threw them is so appealing to me...
There's studio choom version for Fantasia and Love Killa if you have time to watch it along with behind the scenes. It was hilarious and FUN. It's always fun when it comes to their behind the scenes 😂
There still are some music videos you are missing but won’t be able to comment them until after I get off work. Hopefully someone can do it before I can lol
So next will be Follow, Shine Forever, Find You, If With You, and all of their english and japan MV right hihihi Hope to see your reaction at their stage too, and still waiting you to react MonstaX Ray ❤ sorry for request many things cause i miss them very bad, military took so long 😢 Love your reaction ❤❤❤❤
I love these songs! Fantasia is one of their hardest choreography, they do try not to do it as they’ve collapsed after doing it. Watch a dance practice and you’ll see. Also them in concert is a soul lifting experience. They came back in 2022 to Atlanta and I got to see them. I couldn’t sleep for 2 hrs despite exhaustion because I was so hyped up. And visuals always on point. Not gonna lie though, I expected some hair twirling at a few points between Joohoney and Kihyun’s looks. You got close. 😂
Would love to see you watch their 2 it’s live stages! They did one for gambler and one for their b side that hyungwon made called “secrets” which is an English track
@@spicyboylake I can imagine, you’re probably overwhelmed with suggestions since MX has so much content 😅 it’s been really fun watching your MX journey
Im truly enjoying and vibin with you in your amazing journey discovering this amazing group. Whe i see that you drop another reaction I'm here to enjoy with you. For english songs I'd like to recommend you Who do you love, Middle of the night, Someone' Someone and You can't hold my heart from All About Luv album. And You Problem and One day from The Dreaming album. I can't wait for next! Greetings from México!
So these are the ones you have left. Or at least the ones I haven’t seen in your page. All music videos including Korean English and Japanese vids If with you Ride with you Stuck Shine forever Newton Spotlight Puzzle livin it up Play it cool Who do you love X phenomenon Someone’s someone Find you Middle of the night You can’t hold my heart Monsta truck One day You problem Whispers in the dark Wanted If you have seen these, then cross them off I guess lolol
@@yookihyunsyoonbebe337 yes! I totally forgot about that one lol. They actually have a lot of videos and I was stressed writing my original comment thinking I would have forgotten one
Thanx for the video. You had mentioned that you bought the Jooheon album, you need to watch the "Freedom" video before you listen to the song so that you can get the whole impact. Thanx again.
Omg I love watching ur monsta x journey ♡ u should react to shine forever and some of their solo stuff or maybe no limit, reason, or the connect or fatal Love albums cuz das some good stuff
‘And what about that?’ 😂🤣🤣took me out and ‘this man just laughed in my face. Little bitchh’ 😂 I got love self cam mv! And Ride with you performance video~ both from the no limit album. There’s so much reality show content and behind music shows/making of videos to see 🥹 maybe the LOVE era ones since you started with those behind recordings? but yess so much to discover 🥹x
From the last video Kihyun was your man , you rise back from dead with Hyungwon silver hair AND ! YOU BOUGHT A JOOHONEY T-SHIRT!!!!😂 that's what I'm talking about ! MONBEBE CAN'T HAVE BIAS !! ❤😂😂
I don't know who's your bias but I'm here to make you a favor, you really need to watch the RUSH fancams of Minhyuk, they're only two and are my most precious treasure 😭 It's just my man as a baby being the most cute and adorable poppy! 💘💘💘
reason why Hero has so many views is because during the issue that happened with Wonho removing himself from the group Monbebe want to show Starship we support all 7 members and a lot of things were being edited and we weren't having it. rush they all had a crush on the girl whom is kidnapped and they go looking for her and save her.
The FANTASIA MV is literally supposed to represent fantasy and idolisation, they have male (topless) and female dancers writhing and dancing in a way that comes off as both worshipful, frenzied... and dare I say semi erotic... The costuming and colouring/lighting and the filters used are there to build a fantasy realm, it switches between something that looks like a period piece of wealthy socialites/royalty, to a fairytale, to an old western (cowboy theme) They literally say, "let me be your fantasy, let me give you what you need" but it also has that edge that the person idolising them can also be a bit scary always reaching for them, wanting from them, constantly surrounding them, and could easily destroy/harm them as much as they could love them, because being something to fantasise about is not the only thing the song is exploring, it was their first comeback after Wonho left the group and they had lost a lot of fans due to the controversy surrounding it all, they all suffered a lot during this time. The lyrics are truly about not giving up, fighting their own fears of fame and the constant pressure of being an idol, and pushing forward no matter what, and coming back stronger and doing it for the passion of the music and the real fans. I.M is even holding a news paper that is now on fire, to represent the harm of gossip and the complicity of the media.. there is a LOT of symbolism in their MVs, but you have to know their concepts and their story, both as artists and people to know what you're looking at... FANTASIA was a lot different to a majority of their music up until that point sound wise, with maybe the exception of FOLLOW, but where FOLLOW has a more Korean/EDM edge, FANTASIA explores a more Latin/EDM edge.
PS: It was also an end of the way they had done things before, although that entire mini album is very EDM heavy, they still attempted to maintain the old structure of things when the group was 7, except you had Kihyun and Shownu working overtime vocally (because they would normally have another lead vocal) Starship learned that Monbebe's wanted things to change (as we had always) and to actually give Hyungwon and Minhyuk a fairer distribution of lines, and for once they listened - so starting from Fatal Love (the incredible album that followed) you see a new era, where there really don't seem to be set positions per se anymore, it's more evenly spread and fluid and the magic of what they would become as 6 really and truly set in
I agree that Fantasia will be great at concert, but so far I think they haven't done it. they said the dance was too hard it makes their legs give up after that one song. 😂 Fantasia was the first release after their long hiatus after wonho left. some ppl thought they were going downhill with their career, but they didn't, that was why they wanted to come back as strong as possible to shut those haters up. the hands that were trying to reach minhyuk symbolized those ppl and their mean comments. and also the dancers i think symbolized bad energies. that's why in the end you can see that the dancers collapsed and they stand tall on the stage. I think I'd recommend Shine Forever, Stuck, and I Got Love (self-cam). maybe you also want to check out their year-end award performances (golden disk one is legendary), but I'm not sure if it's possible to be uploaded here. but you can always enjoy them by yourself 😁 thank you for giving us mbb lots of treats, I really enjoy watching with you!
Yes, wonho is afraid of heights, but if you have seen his vlogs, he has been doing things that involves heights like hanging in the air behind a boat in a parachute and other things
Fantasia has the most difficult choreo and i remember that we were complaining to starship the agency to make it easier for the next cb lol 😂 i mean who wouldn't after you see them so out of breath and layed down especially hyungwon lol :")
Hero was that bside (Rush was the original title track) that have a special video and became the most watched MV of them! Rush is my favorite when I want to smile....the most memeble MV of them... you take alot of memes from this MV Fantasia was the 1st MV after wonho left and the whole rumores that trying to bring them down ...so Fantasia is like a statement of "we continue here b****!"
Hope you'll watch Shownu X Hyungwon Love me a little stage from mcountdown... The one with more views.... It being the only love me a little stage with no individual fancams is a true crime in monbebeland... Shownu looked so
just in 2 weeks, this girl is fullblown mbb now
And I love her for it!!! Girl knows what she likes! 🥰
Fantasia and the Fantasia X album are often underrated. It was a hard time for the fandom because it was the first comeback without Wonho. But you can definitely see how much effort the guys put in to make sure we wouldn't feel they were lacking. The dance is incredibly difficult and I've yet to see it covered correctly. There's this insane kick and slide combo that baffles me.
Wonho actually has fear of height (acrophobia) and i read somewhere that he had to take pills while filming Hero MV, this fact make me love him even more, he is so precious 🥺🥺
You beat me too it i was comiing to tell her ya poor bunny was sedated
When they started they didn't have many resources, that's why you should see No Mercy, and they didn't have a smartphone until they won their first award in musical Shows, and that was with Dramarama, you should see that presentation.
Important fact about Hero, Wonho is afraid of heights, he had to take medication to calm his anxiety,
Important fact about Fantasia, Jooheon was returning from a hiatus due to anxiety and it was his first MV and official Comeback as a 6 member.
MX are the pioneers of noise music and they did it RIGHT.
They had 5 dollars, a dream and one chance and they delivered HERO hahaha!
Beautiful is part of the lore from monsta x "the x clan" and fun fact... fantasia has one of the most intense choreos EVER, they never performed it again because of that, but the stages from this era were everything.
The random guy thay turns up at the petrol station in Rush was Giriboy. He is a rapper and was involved in a lot of their earlier music releases. He was also a guest judge on the survival show No Mercy which is the show they all competed in to become Monsta X. You need to watch No Mercy, its intense.
Yeah they used to have a delinquent-esque image up until Beautiful comeback. Understandable since No.mercy leaned into the hip-hop concept and SSE housed rappers like Giriboy and Mad Clown. But then you get to know them off stage, they're wholesome and harmless 😂
Fantasia was the first cb without Wonho so it felt more like a revenge song for the hater and that they're here to stay bc the visuals were popping off and the song was HARD.
Oh! If you like noise music, just wait till you hear Sambakja, Fallin', Zone and Rodeo. Monsta X makes bloody good concert bangers, the rave type music.

You articulated my feelings perfectly!
before i discovered mx i used to listen to mostly rock as well and never vibed with this type of sound, i would think its trashy. but then came along monsta x and they made me love noise music and edm. an esquisite blend of both worlds topped by their strong vocals sometimes mixed in with beautiful tones and hues of rnb and hiphop.
its mostly kihyun who give me that classic rock chorus feels but sometimes jooheon and the old raspier hoseok as well and changkyun in that switched fighter 😂. monsta x has created their own unique timeless genre so for me they are always the standard. when other groups approach this genre, most of the times they fall flat and poorly delievered and bring back that unpleasent atmosphere of trashy (sorry im not sorry).
Hero was very successful and its a famous song in Kpop but bc it wasn’t a title track they didn’t get any awards for it
You need to watch Love dance practice the Vibe outfits version - u gonna 💀
Also watch Monsta X RIGHT NOW it’s their first tv show and its the best one to start
Fantasia is forever Queen among Monsta x's title tracks and one of my ult song along with gambler. It was the first comeback after wonho left and Jooheon hiatus, so the song basically about them stay strong and back on a roll in kpop industry after experienced trains of hate attacks, their synergy as a team, nothing's gonna stop them (it shows in minhyuk scene where lot of hands trying to grab him down). We're trying to cheer and hype up the boys throughout that year❤
Unfortunately this comeback was when corona started, so they never perform it on concert 😭
PS : this is the most exhausting choreography
Rush was actually my first ever Monsta X song so I absolutely love watching people react to it! It's so goofy and chaotic just like the boys 😂
You've become one of my favorite Monsta X reactors. It's obvious you really love them. It makes my heart happy to see people discovering Monsta X. They deserve the world.
P.S. I love your EXO videos too!
omg tysm🥰
Fantasia really cemented my admiration and respect for Kihyun cause that man never fails to sing his parts out loud stably while dancing to one of mx's most exhausting choreo. He even has a solo dance while belting those high notes, like he couldve lipsynced and everyone wouldve understood but he said NOPE my mic is ON!! Even I get exhausted in their stead every time I watch their performances for fantasia T_T
They even tried to sing this in spanish on hello82 on youtube and they even played the telephone game in spanish too! They were super extra and hilarious, you NEED to watch it sometime!
If you're going through their title tracks, there's a few that you're missing: follow and shine forever. Stuck and play it cool arent title tracks but they got mvs! For their japanese albums, there are x-phenomenon (love how rapline centric this song is), livin it up and wanted. For more of their time travel lore, there are 'find you' and 'the connect music film' to watch! Im pretty sure im missing something but im sure other comments will add some more recs :)
Thank you for uploading these videos♡♡
I'm down to your journey as a monbebe just as much as you are hahaha thank you for loving them 🥰
Yes Fantasia is everything live the choreography the outfits were all custom made for them dont know it was the most exciting era cuz people assumed they were going down as a group with everything that was happening at that time
I think the most important Korean MV's that you're still missing would be "Stuck", "Newton", "Shine Forever", "Find You" and "Follow"!
And then for the english tracks "Play It Cool" feat Steve Aoki, "Who Do You Love", "Middle Of The Night", "You Can't Hold My Heart", "One Day", "You Problem" and "Whispers In The Dark" (I went from oldest to most recent with all of these)
There still might be some missing and I also left out japanese mv's for now. Plus there's also a lot of solo stuff!
Heyy👋 For their 1st English album All about Luv, there are music videos for: Middle of the night, Who do u love? Someone's Someone and You can't hold my heart.
Then for their 2nd english album The Dreaming, there are music videos for Whispers in the dark, You problem and One day.💛
Love your reactions & Hope this helps🫶
Yeah, Monsta X really goes above and beyond as performers. Wonho is terrified of heights, but did the Hero MV and bungee jumped off a building in Monsta X Right Now (One of the early variety shows they did) and Kihyun started doing running to ensure that he would have the stamina to sing and do choreography at the same time.
I use Yt music for songs not available on Spf. One of those being their video for" Beautiful ACOUSTIC version"🥺 Warning : Bunny tears. Kiki....
MX don't do a alot of ballads. But the ones they have hits 🎯❤. "Broken Heart" off the Rush EP. Then
" In time" & "Find You" years later. "Misbehave" and "The Dreaming" from their English albums. Are just gorgeous.
'Hero' and 'Beautiful' are my first MX songs and MV's aka the songs from them that caught my attention. I just love both the melody, beats and lyrics 😊 Ah also, you need to see the acoustic version of 'Beautiful' it'll hit you right in the feels 🥹
Hero is the first video I saw from them ❤ it had come out like that week and I've been with them ever since. Because it was so near the beginning, there was basically no content so I probably watched it at least 1,000 times while I was trying to learn all their names. It has a special place in my heart ❤
Oh also sorta fun fact but Hero was so popular that they performed it like ALL the time for a long time and they admitted they hated it for a while because of that. They don't any more of course it's been so long lol
Fantasia was actually so great. My understanding of it is:
It was their first comeback without Wonho and they had lost fans and people were speculating they weren't gonna survive as a group. And then they came out with Fantasia. It's all about how they are coming back, they are still strong, they will make it no matter what the haters are saying or how they try to bring them down. So the interpretive dancers kinda represent their haters and competitors like reaching for them but them basically saying 'no, we're untouchable, we're on another level'
Glad you mentioned melody , That is why i love them so much . Don't forget Monsta Truck , sure you will love it.
I believe you have Follow and Shine Forever to finish the title tracks for korean songs. There are also special clips and self cams to dive into before albums although they are bsides so how about listening to the albums and watch the videos if they have clips or self cams? or u can do whatever u want, i am down for anything anyway lol
im so happy you loved Beautiful. my fav mx title
My favorite English song is one day. I've listened to that song so much, and it's the reason why I got into monsta x. Now they are an ult group and I have 3 ults(i.m, joohoney,and minhyuk)and bias the rest of the group lol def check the mv for it! Tbh the whole the dreaming album is fantastic. You problem is also on that album and has a mv. ❤
Hello dear, thank you very much for reacting to Monsta X again, I love your objectivity and points of view, I have already become a regular fan of your Monsta X, reactions, I love when people see the
videos or listen to the boys' songs and then become Fans because they discover how talented they are.
Thank you a lot!!
oh i highly recommend to check Fantasia stages, Kihyun's vocals were legendary❤
thank you for reaction bebe ^^ (guess i might calling you that since you became one of us)
Thank you so much for another reaction. I know when I get into a group I just want to binge like all their content so I appreciate you saving some of that for us, it's so fun to watch. Going from not knowing who they are to buying full blown merch in a week is relatable AF 😆💓
I love the beagle vibes that the boys projected in Rush. Beautiful remains as one of my all-time fav MX title tracks
Poor Wonho doing Hero was not easy for him and yes he had to take medication to be up there . Also in future series when there doing different challenges you will see how scared he is off heights but at the same time our little bunny is brave . Beautiful for me is one of my favourite tracks and fantasia for different reasons it’s the first come back without Wonho which was sad but also Joohoney come back after his hiatus so for me it’s happy and sad still to this day when I here it . I’m really enjoying your reaction and so glad you’re giving us so much content .
Thank you for your reaction! I agree with you about sound of Monsta X, there are always great melodies in their songs among the ‘noise’ music, and this is really very enjoyable for me too, and I think this caught my attention . Can’t wait for your other reactions (especially for Shine Forever - brilliant one, Find you - sad one, Stuck - one of my favorite old stuff)
Here are some other mvs you should watch- Stuck, Shine Forever, Newton, Follow
hero is just a bside from the same album as rush and it was made into a special clip, they do special clips for bsides like unofficial mvs lmao but somehow that hero clip has the most views over 100M. not even other title track has crossed over the 100M line yet
Yeahhhhhh
Please more reaction to MONSTA X
I love the original version of Hero and listen to it all the time, but I do think I listen to the broadcasting version a bit more, it’s more heavily dubstep lol
There is also an acoustic version of Beautiful with a MV!
I loooove the drums in Fantasia! In the MV, the dancers and the news and hands reaching all basically represent the rumors flying around and people that tried to drag them down. The dancers collapse at the end while MX are still standing. If I remember correctly Fantasia was a contender to be the title track for the previous album instead, but they went for Follow and saved Fantasia. They actually have performed it multiple times, including a few concerts. One of my favorites is the stage they performed with Cravity for the 2020 MBC Music Festival!
For Korean titles, there’s Shine Forever and Follow. Because you checked out Kiss or Death, there is also their other Universe release too called If With U
Thank you as always for your reactions! 🥰🥰
I don’t think you can react to it because it’s from a music show but I think you’ll enjoy this Fantasia part switch 😂😊:

All of these songs (with the exception of RUSH sorry) have such a special place in my heart. Hero was the very first Monsta X I ever heard and they hooked me with it. Beautiful was my first official comeback as a monbebe and I nearly lost my mind. (I became a monbebe some time just after Fighter promotions ended.) And Fantasia at the time, felt like a reassurance that after all the BS of 2019 Monsta X wasn't ever going away and they were stronger now more than they were ever before. And now Fantasia is one of my favorite title tracks.
A few suggestions that may have already been mentioned:
Shine Forever (has some of Kihyun's best adlibs & vocal runs)
Follow (the last comeback with Wonho 😣)
Who Do U Love? (their 1st English song)
Play It Cool w/Steve Aoki ( English version has mv but they performed Korean version on music shows)
COOL LOVE - Hyungwon & Hongbin (VIXX) (it's a song for Pepsi but it's so good)
You caught it! One of the things I love about MONSTA X, is that since the beginning, what they sing and no matter the language they sing in, no matter how many years go by, you can still hear its THEM, its THEIR sound and style. They are staying true to their musical DNA, even though their debut and style weren't exactly the mainstream, they still stuck with it. MONSTA X is kinda like a kpop rebel group. When they accepted the sexy sound, that is 3rd gen, they were like; 'Okay, we'll do it, but we'll do it OUR way.' And they turned the sexiness of 3rd gen up to a bold 200% 😅 Also, their english tracks... its like; 'This is kinda inappropriate, we can't sing about in the proper South Korea... so, let's sing it in English! They'll never know.' 😜
I love groups, just going against the mainstream, not wanting to give up their sound for popularity. I feel like groups like ATEEZ are like this too and SUPER JUNIOR, with whom there's no doubt, despite active through two generations, whenever they release new music, you can just hear it's them ☺️😊

Beautiful es una de mis favoritas de Monsta X, es maravillosa, junto a Jealousy, y Fantasia fue una de las que me llevó a ser Monbebe, junto a Follow y Shoot out. Gracias por tus reacciones, y por ayudarnos en esta espera.🌷
yeahhhh! can't wait for album reactions lol. great reactions as always. we need sambakja! and don't worry, it won't get taken down if you react to it.
Beautiful acoustic version gives me chills every time!
So yes they where actually up that high in hero lol. Wonho is deathly scared of heights. And the time he can only go up high is if he has to because of a challenge and he will show you how scared he is. Or in this one they had to give him anxiety medication for it. To make sure he was able to do it. I saw them in 2019 but before our wonho left and they did this song and the background was like Mario type lol they been performing this for so long because it’s very popular.
Beautiful is the last song in the trilogy of all in and fighter.
And I know what you mean with hyungwon attacking you on the live stages you watch. He was already my ult bias and I saw them live and seeing him so close with his iconic long dark hair oh my gosh he’s so handsome in person. They all are. For me the way they look on mv or anything it’s so different that seeing them in person. They can make you drop your jaw 😂
Please listen to If With U, and One Day. They are a feast of vocals
I can't tell you how much I love Rush ahahahaha, that song has stood the test of time for me lol.
So TT/MVs you still have: Shine Forever, Follow, Newton, Beautiful Liar, Find You (my favorite mv) and also so many self cam mvs! whoooo!
I think you would love Beautiful acoustic version
19:38 Same, girl, same. 😂 Joohoney completely DESTROYS me & my whole world, every single time I watch this part!!! I'm seriously considering getting this scene painted as a life sized mural on one of my walls someday.... ❤️🐝💯❤️
I just smiled watching ur videos it’s such a mbb thing to say “they look so cute”
Other fandom say stuff like hot sexy watching them but mbb see them shirtless and say they look cute 😂
Of the korean title tracks your missing Shine Forever and Follow. Follow is the last cb with Wonho. He left right after the release. The stages of that comeback really hurt to watch because all the bad feelings come back. The boys and also we as fans went through a lot during that time.. The first one without Wonho (which was basically just the next day after everything happened) is definitely the worst one to watch. You can clearly see the sadness, frustration, anger and exhaustion in their faces..
You calling Changkyun b*tch was so funny. 😂😂
With Fantasia I can't help but think about the dance practice, specifically the costume version, it's engraved in my brain.🦖
I could talk for hours about how much I like Beautiful, the song, the MV, the outfits, the make up, the dance, omg the freaking way they take off their jackets and threw them is so appealing to me...
Yesss you must check their live concert, it's just incredible and amaazinggg live
The Beautiful Album was the first Monsta X Album I ever bought :D
There's studio choom version for Fantasia and Love Killa if you have time to watch it along with behind the scenes. It was hilarious and FUN. It's always fun when it comes to their behind the scenes 😂
Since you love Rush Hour, watch the MMA rush hour performance. The rock vibes and their outfits! My jaw is still on the floor!
There still are some music videos you are missing but won’t be able to comment them until after I get off work. Hopefully someone can do it before I can lol
Thanks for watching
I believe you have shine forever, find you, and follow to watch! But keep in mind find you will make you cry
So next will be Follow, Shine Forever, Find You, If With You, and all of their english and japan MV right hihihi
Hope to see your reaction at their stage too, and still waiting you to react MonstaX Ray ❤
sorry for request many things cause i miss them very bad, military took so long 😢
Love your reaction ❤❤❤❤
2 more korean title tracks and we're gonna move on to English and Japan title tracks ❤❤ thank you bebe you're doing great 🎉
I love these songs! Fantasia is one of their hardest choreography, they do try not to do it as they’ve collapsed after doing it. Watch a dance practice and you’ll see.
Also them in concert is a soul lifting experience. They came back in 2022 to Atlanta and I got to see them. I couldn’t sleep for 2 hrs despite exhaustion because I was so hyped up.
And visuals always on point. Not gonna lie though, I expected some hair twirling at a few points between Joohoney and Kihyun’s looks. You got close. 😂
Minhyuk is beautiful, but thats not the reason he's my ult of ults you will see why if you decide to react to Monsta X Ray. You will die laughing!
Monsta X Ray is what made him my ult too, Dior is just too powerful 😆
Yes minhyuk as dior is Legend, love him so much ❤❤
Would love to see you watch their 2 it’s live stages! They did one for gambler and one for their b side that hyungwon made called “secrets” which is an English track
oh they’re on the list🫡 they actually keep getting put in my recommended and it takes everything for me not to watch them yet

Thanx for the video. You had mentioned that you bought the Jooheon album, you need to watch the "Freedom" video before you listen to the song so that you can get the whole impact. Thanx again.

Por favor veja Stuck também 😍 é uma das minhas favoritas da vidaa
From the last video Kihyun was your man , you rise back from dead with Hyungwon silver hair AND ! YOU BOUGHT A JOOHONEY T-SHIRT!!!!😂
that's what I'm talking about ! MONBEBE CAN'T HAVE BIAS !! ❤😂😂
I don't know who's your bias but I'm here to make you a favor, you really need to watch the RUSH fancams of Minhyuk, they're only two and are my most precious treasure 😭
It's just my man as a baby being the most cute and adorable poppy! 💘💘💘
reason why Hero has so many views is because during the issue that happened with Wonho removing himself from the group Monbebe want to show Starship we support all 7 members and a lot of things were being edited and we weren't having it.
rush they all had a crush on the girl whom is kidnapped and they go looking for her and save her.
The FANTASIA MV is literally supposed to represent fantasy and idolisation, they have male (topless) and female dancers writhing and dancing in a way that comes off as both worshipful, frenzied... and dare I say semi erotic... The costuming and colouring/lighting and the filters used are there to build a fantasy realm, it switches between something that looks like a period piece of wealthy socialites/royalty, to a fairytale, to an old western (cowboy theme) They literally say, "let me be your fantasy, let me give you what you need" but it also has that edge that the person idolising them can also be a bit scary always reaching for them, wanting from them, constantly surrounding them, and could easily destroy/harm them as much as they could love them, because being something to fantasise about is not the only thing the song is exploring, it was their first comeback after Wonho left the group and they had lost a lot of fans due to the controversy surrounding it all, they all suffered a lot during this time. The lyrics are truly about not giving up, fighting their own fears of fame and the constant pressure of being an idol, and pushing forward no matter what, and coming back stronger and doing it for the passion of the music and the real fans. I.M is even holding a news paper that is now on fire, to represent the harm of gossip and the complicity of the media.. there is a LOT of symbolism in their MVs, but you have to know their concepts and their story, both as artists and people to know what you're looking at... FANTASIA was a lot different to a majority of their music up until that point sound wise, with maybe the exception of FOLLOW, but where FOLLOW has a more Korean/EDM edge, FANTASIA explores a more Latin/EDM edge.
PS: It was also an end of the way they had done things before, although that entire mini album is very EDM heavy, they still attempted to maintain the old structure of things when the group was 7, except you had Kihyun and Shownu working overtime vocally (because they would normally have another lead vocal) Starship learned that Monbebe's wanted things to change (as we had always) and to actually give Hyungwon and Minhyuk a fairer distribution of lines, and for once they listened - so starting from Fatal Love (the incredible album that followed) you see a new era, where there really don't seem to be set positions per se anymore, it's more evenly spread and fluid and the magic of what they would become as 6 really and truly set in
Please react to follow, find u, newton, and stuck!! Especially stuckkk 💗 your mbb journey is so fun! Thank you for liking them 💗
I agree that Fantasia will be great at concert, but so far I think they haven't done it. they said the dance was too hard it makes their legs give up after that one song. 😂
Fantasia was the first release after their long hiatus after wonho left. some ppl thought they were going downhill with their career, but they didn't, that was why they wanted to come back as strong as possible to shut those haters up. the hands that were trying to reach minhyuk symbolized those ppl and their mean comments. and also the dancers i think symbolized bad energies. that's why in the end you can see that the dancers collapsed and they stand tall on the stage.
I think I'd recommend Shine Forever, Stuck, and I Got Love (self-cam).
maybe you also want to check out their year-end award performances (golden disk one is legendary), but I'm not sure if it's possible to be uploaded here. but you can always enjoy them by yourself 😁
thank you for giving us mbb lots of treats, I really enjoy watching with you!
Yes, wonho is afraid of heights, but if you have seen his vlogs, he has been doing things that involves heights like hanging in the air behind a boat in a parachute and other things
You must react to who do u love, follow, play it cool and beautiful liar!!!!
Fantasia has the most difficult choreo and i remember that we were complaining to starship the agency to make it easier for the next cb lol 😂 i mean who wouldn't after you see them so out of breath and layed down especially hyungwon lol :")
Sweetheart and white love
Please also listen to
you are such a hyungwon girlie cuz i see u smiling differently at him lol
hey shhhhh we’re not admitting that yet🤫🤣
Blond Hero Hyungwon was really something..
I think you might go up on that rooftop in Hero video if you got to meet them up there! Right?.😂😂😂😂😂
you’re so right
💜
Hero was that bside (Rush was the original title track) that have a special video and became the most watched MV of them!
Rush is my favorite when I want to smile....the most memeble MV of them... you take alot of memes from this MV
Fantasia was the 1st MV after wonho left and the whole rumores that trying to bring them down ...so Fantasia is like a statement of "we continue here b****!"
react follow and stuck❤
who do you love also
Really time to add some Wonho content too 😊
Follow????? Pretty please. Thank you for doing the others
I knew you'd love Hero and Fantasia. 🎉
Hope you'll watch Shownu X Hyungwon Love me a little stage from mcountdown... The one with more views.... It being the only love me a little stage with no individual fancams is a true crime in monbebeland... Shownu looked so
also hero behind the scenes is a must.... It was anything, but easy for wonho
You need to see fntasia dance practice... The footwork is crazy
