MONSTA X member Ki-hyun showcased his unique vocal tone.

Ki-hyun recently appeared on the web variety show 'Limousine Service' on the YouTube KBS Kpop channel.

On that day, Ki-hyun kicked off the performance with a live rendition of "Sweet Night, Sweet Morning," a track from MONSTA X's mini album 'The Phase,' released on the 4th. Delivering a captivating live performance highlighted by his distinctive voice, solid singing ability, and delicate expression, he instantly captivated viewers. Ki-hyun explained his choice of song, saying, "I wanted to show sides of myself that I haven't shown much until now."

When Lee Moo-jin remarked, "As a group that works hard, you're starting activities again," Ki-hyun candidly replied, "It was too busy. Actually, I thought we'd have more leisure time at this age and level of experience." He further shared updates on his recent efforts, noting, "While touring, I prepared both my solo album and MONSTA X's new album simultaneously, pouring in my time and passion."

For the first live service song, Ki-hyun selected D.O.'s "Popcorn." His vocal performance, seamlessly blending softness and power, maximized the song's charm. Lee Moo-jin praised the stage, saying, "Your stylish output remains unchanged. There's an energy that cannot be hidden no matter how hard you try."

Next, Ki-hyun reinterpreted Hanro-ro's "Ipchun," a song he believed fans would enjoy, in his own style, followed by a duet with Lee Moo-jin of John Park's "Thinking of You," creating a rich vocal synergy that instantly lifted listeners' spirits.

Beyond these performances, Ki-hyun engaged in conversations on various topics, including whether his vocal abilities and musical tastes had changed over the past four years since his previous 'Limousine Service' appearance, anecdotes related to his military band service during his mandatory duty, and the process of preparing his new album. Notably, he performed live versions of Im Young-woong's "My Love Like Starlight," which reportedly received the best reaction from his regiment commander while in the army, and his solo track "Howling," winning over MONSTA X's fandom, Monbebe.

Finally, Lee Moo-jin asked, "If there's something you absolutely want to still be doing 10 years from now?" Ki-hyun responded honestly, "I'd like to say MONSTA X. Our songs are very hard, but if we prepare well and continue performing them until then, I hope that happens."

MONSTA X, of which Ki-hyun is a member, recently concluded activities for their new album 'The Phase.' The group held world tour dates across 10 cities in North America in October under the title 'THE X : NEXUS,' and will continue connecting with fans by holding encore concerts at Incheon Inspire Arena on November 21 and 22.
