MONSTA X's Kihyun has released a cover video that highlights his sweet singing voice. On the 26th, STARSHIP Entertainment released Kihyun's cover video titled 'MONBEBE HBD Special ClipㅣKIHYUN 'Horse Tail' COVER' through MONSTA X's official fan club 'MONBEBE' to commemorate its 9th anniversary. The released video was filmed last August before his military enlistment. He presented a special video covering Yoon Jong-shin × Jung Jun-il's 'Words' to coincide with MONBEBE's 9th anniversary, moving many. To deliver a gift to fans waiting for his return, the monochrome video begins with the sound of rain, and Kihyun's silhouette appears. His expressions as he immerses himself in the song and his calm, delicate singing voice touch the listeners' sensibilities, with rising emotions and deepening tones as the song progresses. Kihyun, solely focused on singing in front of a stand microphone, demonstrated his abilities as the group's main vocalist and proved his presence as a solo vocalist. Kihyun perfectly reinterpreted Yoon Jong-shin and Jung Jun-il's 'Words' in a different atmosphere, enhancing the meaning of the cover video. Before his military enlistment, Kihyun interacted with K-POP fans worldwide through cover songs that showcased his unique vocal color. He gained attention with his cover of the global rock band Imagine Dragons' hit song 'Believer.' At that time, the original band also reacted to the cover video. Ben McKee, who plays bass for the group, liked the video through his channel, and drummer Daniel Platzman left a comment saying 'Nice!!!' on the video. Additionally, after 'Little Bit Of Love' was released, the original artist Tom Grennan shared the video on his X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram channels, praising Kihyun's cover with 'Amazing' on MONSTA X's Instagram. As the main vocalist of MONSTA X, Kihyun has showcased unwavering live performance skills and has been loved by fans. In addition to group activities, he has released two albums, 'VOYAGER' and 'YOUTH,' recognized for his potential as a solo artist, and participated in various drama OSTs and festivals, expanding his musical activities. Kihyun enlisted in the army on August 22 last year, fulfilling his duty to the country.
