MONSTA X member Kihyun is set to surprise audiences with a drastic transformation on the global vocal project 'The Veiled Musician.'

In the upcoming third round, scheduled to be released on Netflix on the 17th, a duet mission will take center stage. Alongside top Korean vocalists participating as special judges, Kihyun will lead 'TEAM Kihyun,' showcasing a powerful rock sensibility.

Kihyun, who selected a track from his first solo album, expressed his confidence, stating, "This is a genre I love." He hinted at a performance and attire imbued with a strong rock spirit, emphasizing, "I guarantee it will be a song that deeply remains in your memory," and "It will be the only performance of its kind today."

As the stage unfolded, the judges' seats erupted in cheers. Ailee exclaimed, "This is what I wanted!" feeling a thrilling sensation. One judge, deeply moved, metaphorically expressed his desire for a "sound system malfunction, just so I could see it again," highlighting the profound impact of Kihyun's unexpected charm.

Beyond Kihyun's powerful and contrasting appeal, which defied his previous static image, the accompanying contestants also delivered stunning vocal performances. TEAM Bell and TEAM Ailee further heated up the third round with their high-level performances.

The sixth episode of 'The Veiled Musician,' as the third round intensifies, will be available on Netflix on the 17th.

Netizens are buzzing with anticipation for Kihyun's rock-infused performance. Comments include, "Wow, Kihyun could pull off this side too!", "I'll be watching live! Go MONSTA X's Kihyun!", and "A performance of a solo album track, I'm already excited."
