Best TOP 50 Boards
Group Monsta X's Minhyuk and Hyungwon set the record for highest sales.
On the September 2nd broadcast of Mnet's 'Idol Festa Operation: Nationwide Sparkling Tour' (hereafter referred to as 'Nationwide Sparkling Tour'), Monsta X left for Gongju, South Chungcheong Province.
Gongju was chosen as the fourth Festa region for Monsta X to visit. MC DinDin said, "Aren't you curious as to why Gongju in this vast Republic of Korea? We received a love call from someone."
At that time, Kim Jaejoong, the main character of the love call, appeared on the monitor. Kim Jaejoong began by saying, "I heard that my juniors, Monsta X, whom I cherish and love, are performing in Gongju. I guess I'm from Gongju too, right?" As soon as Kim Jaejoong finished speaking, Minhyuk shouted, "I'll go," causing laughter.
Kim Jaejoong said, "I have something to say to Monsta X on behalf of the citizens of Gongju," and announced that he would appoint Monsta X as the 'One Day Gongju Albam Ambassadors.' He then said, "Guys, congratulations on your 10th debut anniversary. Please take good care of our Gongju," and made everyone happy by taking care of his juniors' 10th debut anniversary.
Towards Monsta X, who received their appointment letters, DinDin coquettishly said, "You've been ambassadors for many luxury brands, but I'm sure you've never been ambassadors for a nightclub." When asked about their feelings, Hyungwon said, "I feel like I've become a part of the princess," and Kihyun confessed, "I'll call everyone I meet 'princess.'"
With Kim Jaejoong personally going all the way to Gongju as a sparkling guide, Monsta X took on the challenge of selling '990 won chestnuts', which are Gongju's representative specialty and also serve as guerrilla concert tickets.
Minhyuk and Hyungwon, who were the first to step forward, were the expected best-selling pair. The first citizen they met, a former Monsta X fan, bought four sets. The two women they met next expressed interest in purchasing 10 and 50 sets, respectively. Minhyuk asked with concern, "Are you okay with that?" but couldn't hide his smile as he added, "We can prepare it for you."
This was the highest-selling set since the launch of the "National Sparkling Tour." However, this record was quickly broken. A citizen I met next ordered 100 sets, saying, "I'll buy a bunch and give them to my friends as gifts." Hyungwon made everyone laugh by getting the first signature on the program, saying, "You have to sign for anything starting at 99,000 won."
