MONSTA X's Kihyun Reveals Who He Truthfully Is Off-Cam + Shares His Future Goals

Kihyun of MONSTA X recently took part in a photo session and interview for Dazed Korea! 

The magazine posted some photographs of the idol and a snippet from their interview on April 20.

When prompted to define himself using three words, Kihyun answered, "The first word is 'unforeseen.' Most people assume that I'm just fragile, but I enjoy tough stuff more than they believe."

"I like traveling a lot and taking part in physical activities. The second is 'thorough,' I don't believe that I am someone who worries about too many details, but actually, several people are surprised and would even ask me if "I can do this, or that," and if I can do certain things," the idol continued.

"The final word is 'comfortable.' At fan signing conventions, I said this a lot, but I guess I'm a guy who's fun to be around. I don't want someone to feel upset because of me, whether it's individuals I first encountered or people who knew me for a considerable period of time. I'm someone who wants to be confident in approaching others," he said.

Five years have passed since Kihyun debuted as an idol. He discussed the next goal he wanted to pursue, stating, "I don't suppose I can accomplish it for now, but I would like to do a concert tour alone and not with MONSTA X."

The main vocalist went on, saying, "I want it to become a tour that feels like I'm busking when flying around the world. As part of MONSTA X, I've traveled a lot all over the globe for international tours, but I want to spend my free time and perform alone. I would like to go down the streets, singing and playing the guitar whenever I can. I pray I can accomplish this soon."
