Shownu from MONSTA X, Mingyu from SEVENTEEN, and Yugyeom from GOT7 shared a stage back in 2019 at the KBS Song Festival.

Nearly five years later, Shownu and Mingyu reunited on the first episode of the YouTube series NOPOGY. Mingyu revealed the worries he had before their earlier performance together.

Mingyu expressed, "At that time, I was afraid of appearing inadequate, not just physically but also in terms of skills."

He explained that while Shownu was focused on delivering his best dance performance, Mingyu felt pressured to match the high standards set by his fellow performers.

Mingyu added, "Shownu was concentrating on his part, but I felt the weight to outshine everyone."

Because both Shownu and Yugyeom are renowned as main dancers in their groups, Mingyu felt doubly insecure about his own abilities.

Mingyu shared, "They're both top dancers in the K-pop world, and suddenly I had to dance alongside them without my group members, which made me uneasy."

Shownu reassured Mingyu, calmly addressing his concerns by emphasizing that his talent was never in question. According to Shownu, their similar physiques were what caught the attention of the festival organizers, rather than just their performance skills.

Shownu commented, "The organizers chose us not just for our performance, but because we have similar physical builds."
