3rd-Gen K-Pop Idol Exposes His Group For Showering Together

Whether during live broadcasts, events, or on Weverse, fans often ask K-Pop idols to share TMIs. But a “TMI” has a different meaning in Korea.

In English, “TMI” is an abbreviation for “too much information,” so people share deeply personal and even embarrassing or disgusting stories. On the other hand, in Korean, “TMI” is basically used to mean irrelevant or a random incident of one’s day. So, international fans are often confused about why idols’ TMIs are so simple, considering the phrase’s real meaning.

My ick about kpop idols is that when they are asked to tell a TMI and they are like "I ate bread for breakfast🥺" like stfu tell me if youre a furry… let's talk about the real TMI, have you ever tried to eat soap?

On the other hand, some K-Pop idols have revealed some genuinely shocking stories. The MONSTA X members, in particular, never hold back when it comes to their stories.

Now, MONSTA X’s maknae I.M revealed one of the most TMI stories yet…

I.M

On KBS Cool FM‘s Kiss the Radio, host I.M revealed that when the members lived in the dorm together, sometimes they had to shower together if they were short on time since there were few bathrooms. Since it was also a tight space, they would help each other bathe by scrubbing each other.

When we lived at the MONSTA X dorm, there weren’t many bathrooms, so we were short on time, and when we took a shower, two people would go in together. While one person was showering, the other would wash their body and even scrub their back… so I have those kinds of memories, so I’m totally fine with it. But, hmm, the corners are a bit… awkward…?”

창균이 선택은 '내가 친구 몸 구석구석 씻겨주기'

🐱 몬엑 숙소 생활할 때 화장실이 많이 없으니까 시간 부족해서 한 번 씻을 때 2명이 들어가구, 누가 샤워하면 누구는 몸 씻고, 등도 밀어주고… 이런 기억이 있어서 전 이거 아무렇지도 않습니다.ᐟ 근데 구석구석이 조금 그렇네여….? https://t.co/d88whWhEKh pic.twitter.com/O4GBQpH7vO

The information raised MONBEBEs’ eyebrows, who never expected to hear such TMI about their biases.

Still, at this point, the MONSTA X members have shared so many personal and “TMI” stories with MONBEBEs that we should not be surprised.
