MONSTA X’s Minhyuk met his role model Kim Junsu (XIA) on his Naver show ‘’Vogue Ship Show’. Even before the appearance, Minhyuk couldn’t hide his excitement and wrote on his fan cafe that his heart was racing and couldn’t wait to meet his idol Kim Junsu.

During the show,Minhyuk talked about how he was in the sixth grade, and Junsu’s performance of ‘Greatest Love’ inspired him as a vocalist. Since there weren’t many high-pitched husky voices back then so he had given up until he saw Junsu's performance. Minhyuk asked how Junsu could sing in a lower register when he has a high pitched voice. Junsu answered that he worked really hard since he was born with that kind of voice and has no other choice. He just worked really hard and said it’s fun to talk about it since Minhyuk could relate to this.

Minhyuk also mentioned that he thinks Junsu is a great dancer and saw his latest mv ‘Pit a Pat.’ Junsu said the reason he chose a dance track was because he asked his fans through V Live, and they chose a dance track. A listener asked Minhyuk to give 5 reasons what he likes the most about Junsu and he answered without hesitation:  "His one in a million voice, his dance, emotions/acting, his un-aging face and how authentic and genuine he sounds when he sings."

He also mentioned that he watched Junsu’s genie time (during genie time, Junsu fulfill the wishes from fans) on Youtube and he learned Japanese phrases. He recommended listening to Junsu’s performance of ‘Tonight and ‘I have nothing’ to the fans. Junsu fulfilled Minhyuk's request to sing ' Love no more' together.

The show ended with Junsu inviting Minhyuk to his house and also to do a V Live together. He also said he would give him a good seat to his next musical. And that he was really grateful for all the compliments and being invited to promote his new mini-album after 4 years and would look up all the Monsta X videos.

After the show was done, Minhyuk wrote on his fan cafe:  "I have no regrets. I said everything I ever wanted to sunbaenim. Once the schedule was fixed, I had written each one down. To be able to listen to your role model with a happy face is really something beyond the imagination. I am monitoring today's video to see if I made any mistakes because I was really nervous. I'm a little sad I didn't do a better job singing on a clip that will remain of me and sunbaenim singing. But I was so happy that sunbaenim looked happy and appreciative for almost 2 hours.  I really choked up when I was talking about my voice, but I was happy even then. It's an inexpressible feeling to know I'm striving together for the same dream with someone who inspired my dreams. I have a new dream now. I want to become someone's role model and be able to talk with them with a happy smile like Junsu sunbaenim. That could even be a Monbebe. Minhyuk-ah, I'm glad you became an idol."

Needless to say, Monsta X’s Minhyuk became a successful fanboy, and fans are hoping to see more interaction between them in the future!
