'믿듣퍼' MONSTA X member Juheon ramped up comeback excitement with a variety of new song challenges.
Recently, Juheon released a series of challenge videos for the pre-release track "Push (Feat. Ray of IVE)" from the mini album 2 "光 (INSANITY)" on MONSTA X's official SNS channels.
First, the agency junior and the featured artist on the new song, IVE's Ray, joined the challenge and amped up the momentum. Ray added cuteness to the challenge by shouting Juheon's signature aegyo "꾸꾸까까," and infused her unique mood into the simple choreography to create a fresh-sounding version of "Push," drawing attention.
Following that, global stars Sweden singer-songwriter Zara Larsson and U.S. singer-songwriter Kehlani participated, attracting domestic and international attention.
Kehlani matched Juheon's simple choreography for "Push," producing a free and hip vibe. She added ad-libs here and there as if captivated by the song's charm, and toward the end made a V sign at the camera with Juheon, creating a cheerful atmosphere until the last moment. Zara Larsson also interpreted the "Push" choreography in her own mood, showing fresh synergy with Juheon. Their lightly rhythmic performance complemented the song's gentle, soft melody, and at the end of the video they added wit by making finger hearts with Juheon.
Notably, the video was filmed backstage at the final show of the 2025 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour held recently at the Kaseya Center in Miami, where Juheon participated as a member of MONSTA X and formed a special "challenge connection" with the two artists.
Meanwhile, the supportive backing from MONSTA X members drew attention. Shownu cleanly executed the "Push" choreography, displaying the "믿듣퍼" chemistry, while Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon and IM sat in the waiting room and continued playful choreography, creating a relaxed mood that delighted fans.
With the new song "Push" released on the 22nd attracting attention at home and abroad, the released challenge videos revealed the easy-to-enjoy charm of "Push" as well as Juheon's global influence and diverse chemistry, further raising anticipation for the comeback on Jan. 5.
The pre-release track "Push (Feat. Ray of IVE)" from Juheon's mini album 2 "光 (INSANITY)" is an R&B mood song written and composed by Juheon that expresses the wavering between love and one's own feelings. Juheon's emotional and weighty vocals combined with Ray's unique tone and warm sensibility created a track well suited for the cold winter, and various sounds such as the creaking of a chair and Ray's Japanese narration were added to increase listening pleasure.
Meanwhile, Juheon's new song "Push (Feat. Ray of IVE)" is available on various music platforms, and the mini album 2 "光 (INSANITY)" will be released on Jan. 5.
