Last week, the members of MONSTA X had the toughest week of their post-debut lives; WONHO suddenly departed from the group after reality television star Jung Da-eun exposed his past wrongdoings, and their management agency also terminated their contract with him.

They practiced the newly-arranged song and choreography day and night, and managed to flawlessly perform on every music show even without WONHO.
Then on November 5, MONSTA X won first place with 'FOLLOW' on SBS MTV's music show 'The Show'―the group's first win since making a comeback on October 28.
After hearing the announcement by the hosts, MINHYUK said, "Winning first place always gives us such happy feelings. We will make sure to return this happiness to MONBEBE (the name of MONSTA X's fandom). Thank you so much."
He went on, "I also really would like to say this. We will bounce back, we will. Please keep supporting us. Thank you."
They continued to thank MONBEBE and promised them that they were going to keep doing their best as well.
Before leaving the stage, they bowed to their fans by completely kneeling down on the stage to show their heartfelt gratitude.
Upon seeing this, all MONBEBE across the globe became emotional, and had to wipe tears off their cheeks.
