MONSTA X Celebrates MONBEBE's 10th Anniversary with Special 'Birthday Cafe' Live Broadcast
K-pop powerhouse MONSTA X recently celebrated a significant milestone for their official fan club, MONBEBE, marking its 10th anniversary with a special live broadcast event.
The group hosted 'WELCOME TO MONBEBE DAY CAFE' on their official YouTube channel, transforming into 'staff members' for a virtual birthday cafe experience. The members engaged fans with a variety of talks and segments, creating a memorable online gathering.
Kicking off the event with a barista-inspired concept, the MONSTA X members charmed viewers with witty introductions of their roles and specialties. Leader Shownu playfully wished MONBEBE a happy birthday, setting a festive tone for the broadcast.
A pre-broadcast latte art guessing game added an element of surprise, with Minhyuk revealing he had intentionally drawn with his left hand to mimic Shownu's style, much to the fans' delight. Joohoney expressed his affection for MONBEBE by drawing a 'love tree'.
During the 'MONBEBE Order Time' segment, the members fulfilled fan requests, including sharing enduring qualities, creating new 10th-anniversary signatures, and offering words of encouragement. They also proposed new greeting methods and shared sincere advice for overcoming difficulties, even performing a rendition of god's 'Candle One' together, showcasing their enduring chemistry.
In a creative challenge, the members personally crafted a cake using ingredients symbolizing happiness for their fans. IM chose 'love,' Joohoney 'joy,' Hyungwon 'memories,' Kihyun 'sincerity,' Shownu 'music,' and Minhyuk 'laughter.' They then exchanged these for actual ingredients like almonds, chocolate cookies, sprinkles, strawberries, marshmallows, and bananas to assemble their unique MONSTA X cake.
Initiated by IM's witty suggestion to bring cafe talk to the broadcast, the 'MONBEBE Random Question Draw' segment answered fan curiosities and revealed new facts. Shownu shared his cafe preferences, enjoying coffee and brownies, while Hyungwon recounted a humorous anecdote about feeling self-conscious sitting in the middle of a cafe with Joohoney.
As the live stream concluded, MONSTA X posed for commemorative photos with their handmade desserts, extending heartfelt birthday wishes to MONBEBE. They closed the celebratory broadcast by singing a birthday song for their fans.
