Just days after his thirtieth birthday, Shownu of Monsta X plans to start his mandatory military service. The leader of the Starship Entertainment boy group is scheduled to serve as a public service worker due to his past retinal detachment and shoulder injury. Shownu recently shared a heartfelt goodbye message, which was uploaded on Monsta X’s online fan cafe, showing his sincere gratitude to fans with a promise to repay their love in the future. Monsta X fans, who are affectionately called Monbebe, have been religiously following Shownu and his band since 2015. They are incredibly reluctant to part from him for the long span of eighteen months, but there are plenty of fun things to do to honor Shownu in his absence.
