K-Pop has a lot of talented groups with great songs. Because of this, a lot of K-Pop stans follow 2, 3, 5, or even more groups. They are called “multistans”. Multistans enjoy it when their favorite artists interact with each other. They would call these interactions “crumbs”. It is also through these crumbs when fans get to know other fans from different fandoms and become friends. For us, we became friends because of the favorite groups we have in common: MONSTA X and JUST B. In this article, we will walk you through our favorite #monstax_justb_crumbs.
But before that, let us introduce these two groups. Who are they?
MONSTA X (몬스타엑스)
Debuted on May 14, 2015, MONSTA X are JUST B’s seniors. MONSTA X, a group with very diverse songs and concepts, consists of 6 members: ShowNu, MinHyuk, KiHyun, HyungWon, JooHoney, and I.M. They were created through the survival program “NO.MERCY” and debuted with their first album “Trespass” under Starship Entertainment. They finished promoting their twelfth album “Reason” with title track ‘Beautiful Liar’ last February 5 as a 5-member group while their leader ShowNu serves in the military. The album and promotions were received well by many MONBEBEs around the world.
The members are active in various social media platforms and on different shows, where they share their thoughts, emotions and moments from everyday life with their fans. Some members hosted their own shows in Naver NOW. KiHyun and I.M wrapped up “Midnight Idol” last year, MinHyuk just concluded the season 2 of ” VogueShipShow”, while KiHyun has an ongoing show called “PLAY!” They also have an ongoing self-produced reality show on YouTube which they are doing for the first time.

On February 14, JUST B released a collaboration with AleXa entitled ‘MBTI’. The song was liked by fans from all over the world and reached 1 million views in its first 8 hours of release.

5. JUST B’s interview in Mexico
The interaction that was perceived by MONBEBEs the most is JUST B’s interview in Mexico when they guested in “Jellyfish”. They were asked if there was an idol that encouraged them to succeed as a group. Lim JiMin answered MONSTA X and told how they met each other in their schedules. MONBEBEs loved how he answered the question without hesitation, which shows a lot on how much JUST B looks up to their seniors.
