Monsta X (MONSTA X) JOOHONEY will release a new album '光 (INSANITY)'. According to his agency Starship Entertainment, JOOHONEY will release '光 (INSANITY)' on various music platforms at 6 PM on the 5th. This album features JOOHONEY's involvement in writing and composing all tracks, embodying the moment when 'madness (狂)' and 'light (光)' merge through music.

Through this album, JOOHONEY captures the process of combining the impulsiveness of a young man who first embraced music and the weight of an artist responsible for shining on stage into one 'light'. He distinctly reveals his presence as a solo artist through an independent worldview characterized by his own emotional language and structure.

The album includes a total of 7 tracks, including the title song 'STING (Feat. Muhammad Ali)', '光 (Gwang)', 'Fear', 'Push (Feat. Lay of IVE)', 'Bite', 'Until My Head Touches the Sky (Feat. Tiger JK)', and 'NO BRAIN NO PAIN'. JOOHONEY has composed 7 chapters that translate the inner self of a person in different tones, singing a narrative about the light faced after undergoing a period of torment.

In particular, the title track 'STING' reveals the truth of 'pain' over a pop and hip-hop-based beat. JOOHONEY incorporates Muhammad Ali's phrase "I will float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" into the lyrics, converging the identity of his symbol, the 'bee', and his artistic instincts into 'STING'. This track chooses raw instincts and straightforward power over overwhelming scale, clearly highlighting the identity of solo artist 'JOOHONEY'.

On the 4th, JOOHONEY released an album preview video containing highlights of all tracks through Monsta X's official SNS channels. In this video, JOOHONEY captivates attention by perfectly embodying various moods. Additionally, he hinted at his limitless musicality by incorporating diverse genres.

This mini-album '光 (INSANITY)' is a compilation of JOOHONEY's entire spectrum as a rapper, singer, producer, and director. Like the album's message, 'You must go crazy to truly shine,' JOOHONEY records a new starting point he has discovered by pushing himself to the limit through this new release and announces future expansions.

JOOHONEY will release the new album '光 (INSANITY)' on various music sites at 6 PM (KST) on the 5th and will officially start his activities with the title track 'STING'.
