Men on a Mission (아는 형님)

Hello, everyone.

I am Santa Dong, a top celebrity...

you can only see once a year on Christmas.

Merry Dong Christmas! - Merry Christmas!

Many stars have joined us once again for our Brother Christmas party.

Here are the 15 students...

who shine even more than a Christmas tree!

Hello! - Hi!

First, they spent 2023 attacking,

insulting, and teasing each other.

Our six brothers...

who are so sweet to each other! - Yes!

Hello! - Hello!

Hello.

Hello. - Merry Christmas.

Hello. - Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

The reliable leader of MONSTA X,

Shownu! - Nice!

Shownu! - He was discharged!

Shownu! - Monsta X Shownu was discharged!

"Alligator!" - And our hip musician,

Jeong Se Woon! - Yes!

Hi! - Jeong Se Woon!

Follow Se Woon, our energetic CRAVITY!

MINHEE, HYEONGJUN!

CRAVITY! - Nice!

MINHEE and HYEONGJUN. - Lastly, all year, I have...

IVE's Rei, LIZ, Leeseo! - Nice!

Hi! - Welcome!

IVE! - Rei.

Hello. - Oh, IVE.

Gosh. - It just feels like 2023 started,

but it's already the end of the year.

We want to hear how the year went for you.

Did any of our six brothers have anything happy or nice this year?

I am grateful that we had our 400th episode.

That's nice. - That was special.

Yes! - Thanks for 400 episodes.

Yes. - Gosh, 400 episodes.

We even went overseas. - Yes!

Right. - The sounds of Da Nang.

This is Da Nang!

I still remember paying for Ho Dong at the restaurant.

It cost 2 million for 3 meals.

It was around two million dong.

Oh, right then...

What I remember from Da Nang is how much Jang Hoon...

liked the porridge. - Oh, right. The porridge.

Because Jang Hoon looks mushy. - Come on.

Hold on. - Thank you for saying that...

every week. - Right?

I have heard,

Hee Chul, you kept going to Vietnam because you had so much fun.

That's right. - Hold on.

I'm going with my mom, dad, sister...

They have our photo inside.

My parents really want to go there.

Yes, inside that place. - I reserved the room...

where we played games.

This was brought up earlier.

Shownu was discharged from the military.

Congratulations.

How do you feel?

Congratulations. - Congratulations.

I feel like I finished a big assignment, so I feel relieved.

My heart flutters at the thought of spending time with my fans.

I have a question. - Yes?

I'm also a huge fan of MONSTA X.

During your military service,

the number of your fans increased a lot.

Right. - What's the reason?

Our fan club's inauguration ceremony was held...

at the auditorium at Yonsei University.

That's Seo Jang Hoon's spot.

It was held at a nice place. - That's where it was held.

For the seventh year, it was held recently...

At Korea University? - at the gymnastics arena.

From years 1 to 7, do you say hello...

to the members in the same year? - Of course.

Do you introduce yourself?

Hello, I'm MONBEBE, seventh year.

Feel free to watch. - Yes, sir.

Don't swing the cheering sticks too much.

Yes, sir.

The year they joined is important. - I see.

Other members of MONSTA X were working...

even when I wasn't there with them.

Didn't they also come on this show?

Yes. - All of them except you were here.

They came on the show and... - They came here intentionally...

when you were in the military. - We had so much fun.

They were very good. - It was very fun.

It was amazing. - It really was.

They danced well.

It's all thanks...

to the members' hard work.

Now, the other members are serving in the military.

Do you think you can take good care of MONBEBE while they're gone?

Yes, all I have to do now is work hard.

I'll wait for them with the seat belt on.

That's an exciting statement. - Shownu,

do you do anything as a solo artist?

I imagine that my solo album will be released next year.

I don't have plans yet.

You don't have plans? - No.

If not, you should go on "I Am Solo."

That's a good idea. - Yes.

We'll put in a good word for you with Defconn.

Okay. - Actually,

IVE is here. - Yes.

How did the year go for you, IVE?

We went...

IVE is here. - Yes.

How did the year go for you, IVE?

We went on tour around the world for the first time.

We had a concert in Yokohama, Japan,

which is my hometown.

It was a two-day concert.

We had an audience of 40,000 people.

Forty thousand?

That's a lot. - That's incredible.

Did your parents come to the concert?

They must have been so pleased. - Right.

Our mothers are very close to each other.

Is that so? - Yes.

They went out to eat pork belly today.

Really? - You mean,

your mothers?

The mothers can get close. - By the way,

wasn't it emotional...

to be back in your hometown? - It makes you cry.

When you were performing in Yokohama,

weren't you... - Well,

I felt a lot of pressure.

You felt pressure? - I was extremely nervous.

As it was my hometown,

people called out my name. - Right.

Really? - It was exciting.

Did you cry?

Yes, I did.

When Rei grows up,

she can run to be a congresswoman for Yokohama.

"Congresswoman?"

Does anyone have good news to share that happened this year?

Me. - Yes, HYEONGJUN?

Today is my birthday.

All right.

Happy Birthday to you - Happy Birthday to you

Thank you. - It's the date of the shoot.

Today is his birthday.

Thankfully, times have changed.

Ten years ago, Ho Dong gave us a punch...

on our birthday. - That's true.

To wish us a happy birthday. - A birthday punch.

Soo Geun couldn't get up for three months.

In the past, - Bbang, bbang.

even if it was your birthday, - Yes?

no one cared.

"Never mind."

Well done.

Everyone,

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

It's Christmas soon.

On Christmas, presents are a must.

Yes, we have many unforgettable memories.

Starting with HYEONGJUN, is there a present that you wish to have?

On a special day like this, my dad gave my mom...

a big teddy bear.

Your dad did? - That's so romantic.

He's great. - I'd also like to get...

a big teddy bear as a present.

I hope that one of Men on a Mission members...

will become my teddy bear.

Which member? - Seriously,

none of us want to. What gave you such an idea?

I prepared it myself.

I want to remain human.

How about this? Since talking about it isn't fun,

why don't you go up to him quietly and put it on him?

Please go ahead. - It will be cute.

He looks anxious.

He's here to put it on. - Gosh.

It's because... - He's going that way.

Towards Jang Hoon.

He can only pick one person.

It would look good on Jang Hoon.

It's cute. - Whom will he pick?
