You'll have to forgive the source here, but this is getting a lot of traction with K-Monbebes:


Context:


Lotta big talk for a company that relies on female fans for their income.

I don't even know. You think they'd be okay with their success but they just sound so bitter.

What's the context? Like why is HYBE even talking about Monsta X?

Supposedly it's some internal document evaluating MX's comeback. It was from when Shownu was still enlisted, Shape Of Love, I think. This is the translation of the whole thing from the article:

Monsta X

Comeback

: It’s an unusual situation for a team to maintain domestic interest after Shownu’s enlistment. It seems like they’ve managed to attract a steady stream of adult women among the older fans who are tired of the trolls and competitive tensions from the larger companies. They have an image that’s more like genuine tough guys rather than the usual “bad boy” concept, and now they’re appealing to the so-called “Han-nyeo” (derogatory term for Korean women) who might like the likes of a sweet, young Choi Min-soo when it comes to how they treat their women. Their appeal as a physical group has weakened, and their determination to showcase a hip-hop vibe or performance has also lessened, but their position seems to be solidifying, supported by a fanbase that is growing outside of the stage. As a result, their latest album sold 160,000 copies on the first day. Considering that the initial sales for the “Love Killa” album were also 160,000 copies and the previous album hit 280,000 copies, it seems they still have some momentum left.

Wow, they really wanted MX to be on the downhill slide. I suppose the joke's on them, because iirc, that was a really successful comeback too.

They previously tried to buy SSE but got denied, so that, along with how SSE was founded and a few other things, likely fuel their disdain for MX and other SSE groups. Shape of Love was a solidly successful cb and ended up selling over 320k first week.

Also, can I just say, the fact that Monbebes being older and sick of the industry b.s. is canon is absolutely hilarious to me.

They’re literally burning every bridge they see. Even the ones completely unrelated to them.

The way they just default to misogyny is so telling, too. Can't understand why adult women might be fans of adult men and not want deal with industry drama.
