Jooheon of the group Monsta X is launching full-scale music show activities with his new song "STING." His agency, Starship Entertainment, announced that Jooheon will showcase the comeback stage for the title track "STING (Feat. Muhammad Ali)" from his second mini-album "光 (INSANITY)" on Mnet's "M Countdown," airing on the 15th.

Starting with "M Countdown," Jooheon will consecutively perform stages for his new song, once again proving his presence as an "all-rounder." He first revealed the "STING" stage with a powerful performance at the 40th Golden Disc Awards held on the 10th, drawing attention. This has heightened expectations for his comeback stage.

The title track "STING" is a song built on pop and hip-hop-based beats, incorporating the "bee" image that symbolizes Jooheon. The song quotes legendary boxer Muhammad Ali's famous sayings and samples his actual voice to add weight. The heavy 808 sound and straightforward beat increase the song's momentum, while Jooheon's charismatic rapping compresses instinctive energy.

On stage, this aggressive energy is expected to combine with the performance to provide a strong sense of immersion. Jooheon conveyed the message "You must go crazy to truly shine" in this album. He expressed his intention to expand the energy of "光 (light)" not only through sound but also through stage expression, showing a different performance from his activities with Monsta X.

Attention is focused on whether Jooheon's experience, having passed his 10th debut anniversary, will translate into stage dominance. The unexpected charms revealed on stage will also be a key point to watch. In "STING," the sharp "wasp" atmosphere surpasses the existing "honeybee" image, and the performance, enhanced with facial expressions and tempo control, raises expectations for a level of perfection worthy of the nickname "trusted performance to listen to and watch (trusted performance)."

With this new release and the title track "STING," Jooheon has gained global response by charting on iTunes in 24 countries and regions. Attention is on how the performances on music shows will expand this momentum. Jooheon's comeback stage is expected to leave a strong impression on fans and the public.
