[Sportschosun Jung Bit] MONSTA X's Jooheon showed exceptional affection for his fans.
At the production presentation for Netflix's daily variety show "Love Experiment" at the Stanford Hotel in Seoul's Sangam district on the 23rd, Jooheon said, "I watch it with the thought, 'What if our Monbebe, MONSTA X's official fan club, appears here?'"
"Love Experiment" is a dating observation show that captures the romantic instincts of participants thrown into unimaginable and bizarre situations.
It is drawing attention as the new dating program from producer Lee Jin-joo, who earned widespread love for her distinctive concept, stylish direction, and detailed portrayal of relationships through the "Transit Love" series and "My Sibling's Romance."
Another point of interest is the pairing of two reaction masters, MONSTA X's Jooheon and Charles Enter. Jooheon, who combines overwhelming charisma on stage with witty banter, and Charles Enter, a leading figure known for intense immersion in dating shows, are expected to create perfect synergy as the observer duo.
Producer Lee explained why she cast Jooheon, saying, "On his YouTube channel, he said, 'Just go.' I liked that philosophy. He also takes good care of Kim Young-ok. I was drawn to his warm heart, which also extends to the production team."
Jooheon expressed strong confidence in his ability to get deeply immersed, but as an idol member, he is expected to feel some pressure about openly sharing dating experiences or reacting while watching the dating process. Still, he said, "When I am given a situation, I imagine it and watch it with interest. And because I work in producing, I have studied emotions a lot."
He added, "When it comes to love, I usually think of my fans. I write songs while asking myself what it means to love my fans. So when I watch 'Love Experiment' this time, I put myself in the situation and think, 'What if our fan did that?' Thinking about my fans brings the emotion of love to mind."
"Love Experiment" will premiere its first and second episodes back-to-back on Netflix at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, June 17.
