Actor Shin Eun-su and IVE's Rei gave special support for MONSTA X's Joohoney's solo comeback.
Shin Eun-su and Rei each participate in the music video and as a featured artist on Joohoney's pre-release track "Push (Feat. Rei of IVE)" from his mini album 2 "光 (INSANITY)", which is released today (22) at 6 p.m. on various online music sites, adding more firepower.
"Push (Feat. Rei of IVE)" is an R&B-tinged song written and composed by Joohoney that delicately captures the wavering between love and one's own emotions. It serves as a teaser for the new release "光 (INSANITY)", his first work in about 2 years and 8 months since the mini album 1 "Lights" released in 2023, hinting at a deeper musical world from Joohoney.
A teaser that was surprise-released on the 21st earlier depicted a scene in which Joohoney seems to experience emotional turmoil through another self, and Shin Eun-su's immersive acting and symbolic direction such as breaking the emergency bell heightened anticipation for the continuing story.
Also, with Joohoney's weighty vocals and emotional melody previewed, attention is focused on what kind of synergy Rei's vocals, not yet revealed, will add.
Shin Eun-su, who appears in the music video for "Push (Feat. Rei of IVE)", debuted in the film "Hidden Time" and has proven a wide acting spectrum by exploring various genres through works such as the drama "Twinkling Watermelon", the Disney+ "Light Shop", and the Netflix film Love Untangled. In this music video she is expected to enrich the song's narrative with delicate emotional acting and amplify the video's immersion.
Meanwhile, IVE's Rei, who took the featuring role, lent support by participating in another artist's song for the first time since her debut for senior labelmate Joohoney. Rei, who has shown solid vocal ability by releasing various cover videos with a unique tone, operates the solo YouTube channel "Ddarahaebolrei" to present various content weekly, leading challenge trends and being loved as a "trendsetter." Interest is focused on the musical chemistry between the two, who are from the same agency family.
Meanwhile, Joohoney's mini album 2 pre-release track "Push (Feat. Rei of IVE)", which raised expectations with support from Shin Eun-su and Rei, will be released today (22) at 6 p.m. on various music sites.
