Monsta X as Types of…/Aesthetics
Shownu: Blockbuster movies and sweet n’ salty popcorn, well-loved denim jackets and old school Timberland boots, pictures of family and friends, indie concerts and acoustic guitar songs, mango smoothies and good grades, killer smiles and high-school crushes.
Wonho: Late night phone calls, lo-fi mixes and shared emotions, dark views of a cityscape, vivid dreams and unwanted nostalgia, leather jackets and tousled hair, whispered “I love you”s and gentle neck kisses, closed eyes and lip bites, associating songs with past lovers.
Minhyuk: Breezy summer days with skies of fluffy white clouds, lazy mornings in unmade beds, bright smiles and pouty lips, spicy perfume and brilliantly coloured oversized jumpers, spontaneous dancing, cinema dates and kissing in the back row, peach iced tea and French pastries.
Kihyun: The reflection of light on water, nonchalance and self-assuredness, open curtains and ajar windows, minimalist décor offset by bright watercolour paintings, dark chocolate and Matcha tea, cursive writing and soft lighting, long baths with flower petals and the feeling of skin accidentally touching skin.
Hyungwon: The smell of varnished wood and golden liqor, wax stamped envelopes and feather quill pens, woollen winter coats and expensive tastes, soft blankets in a candle lit apartment, double shot espressos and dog eared fashion magazines.
Jooheon: The golden sunlight of late afternoon, mismatched socks and Doc Martens, confident laughter and genuine smiles, hot chocolate and desserts at midnight, big dreams and big ambitions, smudged doodles in the margins of notebooks, comic book figurines and nostalgic childhood cartoons.
I.M: Headphones and eclectic music, old souls and wistful stories, little known vintage thrift shops and 90s flannel shirts, dark eyes and knowing looks, light rain showers and grey mornings, comfortable silences and waking up early only to lay in bed, blurry polaroids.
