Shownu, The Papa Bear
Monsta X’s Shownu has the real name Son Hyun-woo (손현우), and was born in Changdong, Donbonggu, Seoul, South Korea on June 18, 1992. He’s one of the older members in the group and became the leader. Shownu started his career as a background dancer and was trained by JYP Entertainment for two years, but left due to training absences. Shownu was really popular for his muscular and manly figure even back before he debuted as an idol. The history of his nickname, Papa Bear, started with his appearance in “Safari in Monbebe World” and he represented a bear during the event. Since then, Monbebe started calling him Papa Bear since the animal really suited with his figure. Don’t you think so? Besides having a tall body, Shownu has a wide body. He’s not thin, but also not exactly fat, either. With his posture, which is classified as big and manly, it is not uncommon for the Monbebe to call him Papa Bear. He resembles a big, cute bear, as well, and he’s known for being something of a father figure in Monsta X. Based on the Urban Dictionary, Shownu is described as a huge idol that is huggable and was known as a bear who is a very talented singer and dancer. At first, people might see him as the visual of the group since his body is bigger than the other members, but he is the leader and “father” of the group that has been called by his fans as Papa Bear. Monbebe also make gifts and merchandise for members of the group, such as posters, mugs, t-shirts, notebooks, stickers, and other items. He’s so cute while he acts like Papa Bear, and has appeared in fanmeetings wearing the accessories brought for him by Monbebe. From fans to their fans, that’s what Papa Bears do for Monbebe. While being the Papa Bear, he also did his best while introducing NUNUGOM, a character bear that was released by TWOTUCKGOM. He has NUNUGOM, who’s a lovely bear that really likes to eat, is a good dancer, and works out a lot. The TWOTUCKGOM and Monsta X released more special collaboration items than just the character pillows, such as earrings and bracelets. Beside being known as Papa Bear, he and Monsta X also made an appearance on We Bare Bears. The three bears on the show are a grizzly bear, a polar bear, and a panda. They had a chance to meet the famous K-Pop idol group, Monsta X since the bears claimed themselves as Monbebe.
