Jhagiya line as the DJ duo

Monsta X's jhagiya line is all set to host the upcoming new season of Idol Radio. Season 1 of the show was hosted by idols like DAY6's Young K and GOT7's Choi Youngjae. Fans are excited to see the bandmates host the show together. One can expect a lot of inside jokes and bonding moments on the show. Both Jooheon and Hyungwon are known for being poles apart. While Hyungwon seems like a shy introverted real-life DJ, Jooheon appears to be a loud, extroverted, intimidating-looking softie. 

It goes without saying fans will have a gala time having both Jooheon as well as Hyungwon as new hosts of the show. While commenting about their new role as DJs for 'Idol Radio' Season 2, Hyungwon and Jooheon made a statement via their agency Starship Entertainment, “It is an honor to be the new DJs of Idol Radio. As we start season two, we will do our best to become DJs who are responsible for bringing energy and laughter to our listeners.”

Meanwhile, Monsta X is all set to entertain fans with back-to-back solo or duo events as Minhyuk is all set to appear in season 2 of their variety show 'Back to the Idol' with Eunhyuk from Super Junior. Not only that, Monsta X’s leader Shownu as well as Hyungwon are set to appear in K-dramas soon. Here is how Monbebes took the news of recent Monsta X activities.
