Interview: Monsta X on New Album The Dreaming, Concert Film, and Returning to the Stage

The members of Monsta X aren't tired at all.
Sure, the K-pop group sat down for a conversation with Consequence at the equivalent of 1:30 a.m. in South Korea, but it's impossible to tell from their energy. The group is excited -- they are releasing their new album, The Dreaming, on December 10th. They'll be sharing a concert film of the same name in Korea on December 8th, and worldwide (including the US) on December 9th and 11th. We spoke to the them about their new album, upcoming tour, and more.

i like how changkyun let joohoney speak the sentence himself rather than him translating it directly. this is how they improve rapidly

[@melodeene]

I love how hard Joohoney tried to express his thoughts, and thank you to Changkyun for helping them all communicate. Monbebes love you ALL so much! Can't wait for the album!!!

[@pastaakaze_artist]

There is so much trust between the members! Seeing them lean on ChangKyun when they can't express their thoughts is so adorable! MONSTA X FIGHTING!!

[@Carolineoline17]

Hahaha i love Jooheon confidence, in Chinese English who cares wrong or not as long you've confidence 👏

[@danygom4472]

Yeah, that’s why we love him haha he is so adorable actually.

[@monweneella18]

Jooheon: "holy vibe..." Kihyun: "holy moly" hahahaha i love him

[@annastearsman1327]

Holy crAaAb 🦀

[@ToniaV]

I'm an English teacherbebe and to see Monsta X keeps learning English makes me so proud. I wish my students have that much motivation to keep improving 🥺

[@anthonykuntz5216]

Joohoney 🥺🥺🥺🥺. So proud of the progress they all have made with their singing and their languages that's difficult to speak and their overall aura has gotten better

[@seb1235bes]

8:22 “from our fans, that’s the only answer” so precious 🥺💙

[@oxana3736]

I wish them success with this English album as well! Can't wait to listen to the all tracks in it and surely get the album

[@bee9513]

Joohoney is so adorable when he tried to explain him self🥺💙💙🤏🏼

[@kpopismylife62]

It was heartwarming to see them helping and encouraging Joohoney when he was struggling to say something at 5:05 🥰

[@ThePennyBlackYouTubeChannel]

Joohoney actually expressed himself perfectly on his own. I majored in English and have written 3 books and believe me when I tell you they speak English better than most native speakers because they slow down and actually prounounce the words properly. But I do love how they depend on IM during English interviews this is why I thought he was their leader lol

[@user-gn3el2gg2f]

joohoney when he is flustered is so cute 🥺 his english has been always improved and i love his pronunciation tho

[@helenalindfors7410]

Hyungwon has vocal, visual, personality he has everything he's so perfect

[@ToniaV]

Thank you for having Monsta X. The host is really nice too, she didn't cut them off and waited patiently for them to finish answering

[@Sociallama]

They were so happy 🥰 and I love listening to Changkyun he’s so cute and smart

[@helenalindfors7410]

Kihyun has vocal, visual, personality he has everything he's so perfect

[@yuszybebe]

They’re all so adorable. SO PROUD OF MY BOYS. But why the sudden cut at the end :(

[@jananasser8524]

Is changkyun a psychic what! He knew what hyungwon wanted to say with no context

[@lizbethgomez2506]

Aww I love the way I.M helped Jooheon instead of taking over and saying it for him. Such a touching moment you xan tell they work so well as a group so close to eachother

[@irkustk1]

Jooheon got holy vibe from wathing Justin Bieber concert! While I got holy vibe from watching Monsta X! Thank you Changkyunie for leading your brothers here. Please have a save journey and dont forget to have fun too 🥰

[@amor940]

Great interview 👏 I like how u gave them space to speak their minds one by one ❤️ I can feel the Monsta x boys getting more used to the US interviews and likewise interviews are getting more acquainted to them. The questions are more elaborated , More specific and they give them more time to Express themselves ❤️

[@Ema21x]

The way Joohoney smiles after saying his voice is beautiful---because it's true!!! ❤️

[@MissEliseIsTired]

All of their English has drastically improved, and aside from obviously IM, Jooheon and Kihyun’s pronunciation is so accurate.

[@wendemina]

For a non-US Monbebe, I think I'm as excited about watching their movie as they are about touring again in the States. I wish them a safe, happy and memorable tour and wish their tour will extend to other countries in the near future

[@KangaRuby]

Second this! UK Monbebe here and I'm so excited to see The Dreaming on Thursday but I really wish one day they'll come here so I can see them IRL.

[@jacquelinemetivier6941]

I love how they're able to fill in what the other wants to say...they're always so in sync

[@starrygeek]

Shout out to the interviewer for giving them time to speak and not pressuring them. Thank you for giving them room to talk and no interrupting them. It means a lot. As for my boys, you're growing so much and you're doing so well with your English. Keep the confidence and support of one another. You're lovely and amazing, Monsta X!

[@wiwiwi88]

I love how the members keep on encouraging Joohoney to speak when he started to lose words at 5:05 🥺🥺🥺🥺 Love you guys.

[@monicad6932]

Oh wow! Their English is impressive 👏 can't wait to check out there new album and movie 👍🏼

[@4kids313]

I can't believe I finally witnessed their English album tho it's their second album. I'm so happy and proud of them!!

[@glaciermarine]

monsta x's English teacher: say "in my case" when starting a sentence

[@ibrends]

[@anaflaviaribeiro6444]
