MONSTA X's Hyungwon Shines as the 'Ultimate Maknae' in Web Variety Show 'Dorora' Debut

MONSTA X member Hyungwon has showcased his versatile talent and presence on a new variety show.

In the web variety show 'Dorora,' which premiered on the 'SBS KPOP X INKIGAYO' YouTube channel on the 20th, Hyungwon took on the role of the youngest member, captivating viewers with his charm.

'Dorora' follows Hyungwon, alongside Lee Chang-sub and MAMAMOO's Solar, as they transform into 'K-pop Aurora Hunters' on a journey to find the aurora in Canada.

From the moment the broadcast began, Hyungwon demonstrated his preparedness by accurately explaining the causes and observation periods of the aurora when asked by Lee Chang-sub at Incheon Airport. This showcased his meticulous planning.

As they embarked on their mission to find the elusive aurora in Calgary, Canada, Hyungwon oscillated between being a 'ChaiGPT' (a witty, knowledgeable persona) and a cute maknae, bringing vibrancy to the team. His strong foreign language skills allowed him to navigate with ease, and his active engagement, including asking about MBTI and providing enthusiastic responses, solidified his role as the youngest member.

During their car ride to downtown Calgary, Hyungwon displayed his curiosity and passion by inquiring about the Canadian weather. Upon reaching the Calgary Tower, the trio marveled at the sight. Hyungwon added a witty remark, saying, "Actually, this was something I kept to myself, but apparently, we are the branch managers of each country," bringing laughter to the set.

Faced with a decision between visiting the Calgary Tower observation deck or enjoying a delicious dinner, Hyungwon proposed a compromise: "Since we're here, how about taking pictures in front of the building and then grabbing a meal?" This suggestion peacefully resolved the dilemma, prioritizing prudent spending.

Hungwon's contributions continued as he diligently searched the map to locate a statue, the second clue. His success in finding it led to cheers. While passing through Stephen Avenue to find the statue, they encountered a passerby with a unique fashion sense. Hyungwon smoothly led the conversation, once again demonstrating his fluent language skills.

Entering a restaurant that appeared to be their meeting point, the trio met with a secret agent who introduced them to an app for viewing aurora information, further fueling their anticipation for the celestial phenomenon. During a satisfying meal, Hyungwon added a warm sentiment, stating, "The members are really important when traveling, and I feel like the three of us have great chemistry." The day concluded with their cheerful camaraderie at the accommodation.

Thus, from the very first episode of his solo web show 'Dorora,' Hyungwon has impressed with his diverse activities and friendly demeanor, raising expectations for future episodes. Attention is now focused on the new aspects Hyungwon will reveal as the maknae of 'Dorora.'

The web variety show 'Dorora,' featuring Hyungwon, is released every Thursday at 7 PM KST on the YouTube channels 'SBSKPOP X INKIGAYO' and '스브스 예능맛집.'

Netizens commented, 'Hyungwon is so smart!', 'He's the maknae but acts like the most mature one lol', 'The chemistry between Lee Chang-sub, Solar, and Hyungwon is amazing! Can't wait for the next episode.'
