In June 2019 he released a mixtape single "옹심이" ("Ongsimi"), with a music video released through Starship Entertainment's YouTube channel. The single featured his fellow group member Joohoney,[6] and was described by Minhyuk as "EDM Hip Trot".[7]

Beginning late 2019, Minhyuk began expanding his individual activities,[8] including being part of the three MCs for SBS' Inkigayo, alongside Naeun of April and Jaehyun of NCT 127, hosting the show weekly every Sunday, starting in October.[9][10]

For Monsta X's sixth studio album All About Luv, he is a credited writer and composer on three of their tracks.[11]

In July 2020, Minhyuk launched the Vogue Ship Show on Naver Now, a weekly radio show that focuses on creating art while connecting with fans.[12][13] Most episodes host guests, usually other idols, including members of g.o.d.,[14] label mates such as Jeong Se-woon,[15] and members of Cravity,[16] as well as group members from Monsta X.[17][18]

In August, it was announced that he would be featured on the soundtrack for She's My Type, released through Daum.[19] The song "Have a Goodnight", was released on September 11, as a duet with group member Shownu.[20][21] Minhyuk was also announced as MC for the new KT Seezn program Back to the Idol, alongside Eunhyuk of Super Junior.[22][23]

In November, he appeared on King of Mask Singer with the identity of "Baepsae", winning the first two rounds he competed in, but losing in the third round.[24]

In June 2021, Minhyuk and Hyungwon appeared as part of the cast for the Youtube channel Inssa Oppa. The two played different "sub-characters" for each episode to introduce the latest trends and G-Market global shop products.[25]

In March 2022, Minhyuk and Hyungwon returned in the sixth season of Inssa Oppa. For the concept of this season, these two will move freely to any desired time, such as the past, present, and future, under the concept of "what if" and perform situational plays on various themes.[28] On March 15, he went to the Valentino Beauty's launch event pop-up store in Seoul.[29] Minhyuk tested positive for COVID-19 on March 31.[30]

Starting in May, he released his own content Let's GO!5rae through Monsta X's YouTube channel.[38]

Personal life

[edit]

Minhyuk had expressed his love for whales, saying that his work as an idol "brought to mind the freedom and infinity of a whale swimming following their values in the vast and deep waters".[39] He explained the reason by saying:

"Whales carry me to where I want to go. They are big, so they can carry not only me, but also [Monsta X] members, my family, Monbebe, and all of the people I like. I want to carry them and go to a good place."[40]

Military service

[edit]

Minhyuk enlisted for his mandatory military service as part of the military band, with 5th Infantry Division at Yeoncheon army base in North Gyeonggi Province on April 4, 2023.[41] On October 6 to 10, he performed in the Ground Forces Festival (also known as Army Fest), held in Gyeryong, South Chungcheong Province.[42] Minhyuk is scheduled to be discharged on September 30, 2024.[43]

Artistry

[edit]

[edit]

As the sub-vocalist of Monsta X, Minhyuk had been described to possess a vocal range with "husky voice in low tones" and "smooth, beautiful voice in high tones".[39]

Minhyuk had cited Junsu of JYJ, Kyuhyun of Super Junior, Yoseob of Highlight, and Mino of Winner as his role models.[24][44]

Public image

[edit]

Minhyuk is known as the "vitamin" of Monsta X because of his bright personality. He also had been described as "cheerful, friendly, and witty" from his work as a presenter in South Korean programs such as SBS's 'Inkigayo', Naver NOW's 'Vogue Show', and KT Seezn's 'Back to the Idol'.[45] Minhyuk is also known as a "blue chip" in the South Korean entertainment industry for appearing regularly on numerous entertainment programs since 2018.[46]

Minhyuk's fellow labelmate group Cravity has cited him as an inspiration.[47]

In November 2021, as part of Monsta X's promotional campaign for traditional Korean culture, Minhyuk and Hyungwon participated in a video narration for the YouTube series Kimchi Universe 3, jointly produced by Daesang Jonggajib and World Kimchi Research Institute together with Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University. The video explains how kimchi became known all over the world through the 1986 Asian Games and 1988 Seoul Olympics, culminating with Gimjang, the traditional practice of preparing and preserving kimchi, being registered on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2013.[48][49]

A space was also prepared for them to see the before and after Monsta X's debut photos, undisclosed polaroids, childhood photos, their cherished items, as well as events for fans due to the warm response from domestic and foreign fans, and to repay the support they showed during the group's activities.[50]

In 2022, Minhyuk works for the album artwork of Monsta X's eleventh EP Shape of Love. He showed his affection for fans, by putting the words written by the fan cafe on the canvas, photos of the concert hall, and the memories of Monbebe in one place, as well as mobilizing a photo book.[51]

In 2023, Minhyuk held a collaborative exhibition with the street artist Doezny and the PepsiCo's carbonated soft drink brand Mountain Dew.
