On June 23, a production presentation for the Netflix reality show 'Love Lab' took place at the Stanford Hotel in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. The event featured producers Lee Jin-joo and Kang Yu-min, along with Monsta X's Jooheon and Charles Entertainment.
During the event, Jooheon explained his approach to engaging with the dating program, stating, "Rather than recalling personal experiences, I find it interesting to imagine scenarios as they unfold."
He continued, "As a songwriter, I tend to study emotions. When I think about love, I think of my fans, Monbebe. I often write songs with them in mind, and when watching the show, I think, 'What if our Monbebe were in that situation?'"
Jooheon noted, "While I often write about courage, ambition, and passion in life, I don't write much about love. However, thinking of Monbebe evokes strong feelings of love. I find myself immersed in the program, thinking, 'Monbebe shouldn't do that.'"
He also mentioned that he tends to get overly absorbed in shows, saying, "When I watch broadcasts I appear in, I sometimes wonder if it's okay to be that immersed. 'Love Lab' feels like a family show. The more I watch it with family, the more I get absorbed and comfortable with it, and this program was no different."
Jooheon expressed his excitement about the show's concept, saying, "The keyword 'experiment' is intriguing and engaging, which made me even more invested. Please look forward to my continued immersion in the show."
He described 'Love Lab' with the word 'dopamine,' stating, "Watching the program generates a lot of dopamine. The term 'love experiment' was unfamiliar and fascinating, and the more I watched, the more I realized, 'Such situations can happen.'"
Meanwhile, 'Love Lab' is a dating reality show that observes the emotional and relational changes of participants placed in unexpected situations. It is the latest work by producer Lee Jin-joo, known for directing the 'Transit Love' series and 'Love Siblings,' and it premieres every Wednesday at 11 a.m. on Netflix.
