K-pop powerhouse MONSTA X is back to doing what they do best — making fans laugh while building anticipation for their highly awaited comeback.
The group’s latest comedic sketch, featured in episode 55 of their long-running reality show, comes just weeks ahead of their scheduled return on September 1 with their new mini album titled “THE X.”
Released via the group’s official YouTube channel, “MX Health Lab Part. 4” continues MONSTA X’s popular office-themed parody series that blends clever humor with quirky storytelling — and this time, it featured a full cast of characters in a skit that fans are calling one of their funniest yet.
Episode 55: A Job Interview You Won’t Forget
In this latest installment of “MX Health Lab”, the members take on fictional office roles with a comedic twist.
Shownu transforms into the stern but likable department manager Son Hyun Woo, while Minhyuk and Kihyun play equally eccentric assistant managers, Lee Min Hyuk and Yoo Ki Hyun respectively. Joohoney steps in as the all-too-relatable mid-level employee Lee Joo Heon.
The skit opens with a mock job interview being held to fill the position left vacant by I.M, humorously described as having been “dispatched overseas.”
The storyline follows the team’s desperate yet chaotic search for a new recruit, which ultimately leads to a surprise entrance by Hyungwon, who returned to group activities in May after completing his military service.
Hyungwon’s character enters the interview as a fresh-faced intern, bringing awkward charm and deadpan delivery that perfectly balance the rest of the cast’s over-the-top personalities.
The group’s natural chemistry shines throughout the episode, making it clear that even while joking around, MONSTA X knows how to deliver quality entertainment.
Hyungwon’s Return Adds Nostalgia and Hype
Hyungwon’s presence in the skit was more than just a punchline — it symbolized a long-awaited full-member reunion.
With all six current members participating, fans were thrilled to see MONSTA X acting as a complete unit again, especially after the transitions and challenges the group has navigated in recent years, including military enlistments and lineup changes.
His appearance was both humorous and heartwarming, with fans applauding his seamless reintegration into group content.
Hyungwon’s character in the skit may have been a bumbling intern, but in reality, his return adds emotional weight and renewed excitement as the group gears up for its September comeback.
