Group Monsta X (MONSTA X) Hyungwon showcased his variety show presence with a range of activities.
Hyungwon appeared as the maknae on the web variety show 'DDORORA,' which premiered on the YouTube channel 'SBS KPOP X INKIGAYO' on the 20th, displaying an unusual charm. 'DDORORA' is a web variety show in which Hyungwon transforms into a 'K-pop aurora hunter' who, along with singer Lee Chang-seop and Mamamoo (MAMAMOO) Solar, travels to Canada to find the aurora.
On the broadcast that day, Hyungwon headed to the airport after being instructed to gather at Incheon Airport. Before departure, when Lee Chang-seop asked why auroras occur, Hyungwon clearly explained the reason and the period when they can be observed, boasting thorough preparedness.
Receiving the mission to find the missing aurora, they departed for Calgary, Canada, where Hyungwon alternated between being 'ChaeGPT' and the cute maknae. Not only did he confidently find their way with solid foreign language skills, but he also asked Lee Chang-seop and Solar their MBTI and added energy with enthusiastic responses, fully playing the maknae role.
Riding in a car toward downtown Calgary, Hyungwon showed curiosity and enthusiasm by asking the driver about Canadian weather. When the three finally faced Calgary Tower, they admired it and went sightseeing, and Hyungwon added wit to the scene, saying, "Actually, this was something only I knew, but I heard we are the branches of each country," bringing laughs to the site. Meanwhile, when deciding whether to go up to the Calgary Tower observation deck or have a delicious dinner to be prudent with expenditure, Hyungwon suggested a compromise, saying, "Since we're here, how about taking photos in front of the building and then eating?" which peacefully resolved the situation.
Hyungwon's activities did not stop there. Searching the map diligently to find the second clue, the statue, Hyungwon finally discovered the statue's location and cheered. As the three walked along Stephen Avenue toward the statue, they struck up a conversation with a passerby who caught attention with unique fashion, and Hyungwon smoothly led the conversation, demonstrating his fluent skills once again.
The three entered a restaurant that appeared to be a meeting place, met a secret agent who introduced them to an app that could show aurora information, and set out to eat with heightened expectations for the aurora they would find. While enjoying a satisfying meal, Hyungwon added a warm atmosphere, saying, "The travel companions are really important, and the three of us seem to get along well," and they ended the day showing pleasant chemistry at the lodging.
Thus, Hyungwon added anticipation for forthcoming episodes by showing a variety of activities and affability from the first broadcast of the solo web variety show 'DDORORA.' Attention is focused on what new aspects Hyungwon will show as the maknae of 'DDORORA' going forward.
Meanwhile, the web variety show 'DDORORA,' in which Hyungwon appears, is released every Thursday at 7 p.m. on the YouTube channels 'SBSKPOP X INKIGAYO' and 'SBS variety 맛집'.
