MONSTA X's Shownu is the next superstar to join the incredible lineup of judges in MNet's first teen reality show 'CAP-TEEN'. This completed a solid panel of four judges, including Lee Seung Cheol, Soyou's vocals, Jessie's rap, and Shownu's performance.
Shownu is the leader and main dancer of MONSTA X and one of the top idols in the industry. His excellent physique as well as vocal and dancing skill is immaculate. As such, he will prove a valuable addition to the panel of judges. Another plus factor in his favour is his high popularity among teens, especially in Korea who look up to him and want to be like him.
In the previously released video of the judges' meeting, the 4th judge was still kept unrevealed. However, it has now been unveiled to be none other than MONSTA X 's leader Shownu. The'Rainism' performance clip released in the video hails back to the time when Shownu won the first place in the JYP trainee open audition.Since then, Shownu who has grown up to be one of the most important faces of K-Pop, is excited about the positive influence that he can deliver to the participants of "CAP-TEEN."
With regards to working with such amazing artists, Shownu said that,"Lee Seung Chul's music, which I've listened to ever since I was little, is one of the things that's helped me get here today," Shownu said. "The fact that I get to be a judge alongside him is still surprising and nerve-racking to me."
He continued by adding, "When I see the contestants, I think about how I started my own trainee life when I was in my teens. As this is my first time as a judge, I'll work hard to teach the teenage contestants and their parents all the things I've learned."
As Shownu is the youngest in age in the panel and closest to the ages of the contestants, Jessie playfully designated him the responsibility of critiquing the youngest contestants.
CAP-TEEN is a newly formatted reality survival show to find the next top teenage idol. The show will welcome the contestants' parents as well to receive the critique of the panel of judges regarding their child's performance. "CAP-TEEN" premieres on November 19 at 9 p.m. KST on Mnet. Don't forget to tune in! Stay tuned for more updates on "CAP-TEEN."
