JOOHONEY The 2nd Mini
Album [Light (INSANITY)]
“You have to go crazy to finally shine.”
Jooheon, reborn at the border between emotions and instincts
- Jooheon's story of going through madness and light.
Second mini album [Light]
(INSANITY)] stands for ‘crazy light’ and ‘shining light’.
It digs head-on into the moment where ‘light’ overlaps. If the pre-released song 'Push' touched on the cracks in relationships, this album reflects the deep inside of those cracks.
The impulse of a young man who first caught on to music, he must be responsible for the light on stage.
The weight of the artist who did it. The process of two different worlds colliding, shaking, and eventually merging into one ‘light’. And this journey is of Monsta
The world of solo artist ‘JOOHONEY’, not Joohoney, is set squarely. Based on the foundation built through performance, rap, vocals, and producing, Joohoney is releasing this album.
Through this, you complete an independent worldview with your own emotional language and structure.
- Title song
‘STING’, the wound hurts, but it is a trace that proves me.
'STING' is
It is a key axis that runs through the center of the album narrative. On a pop/hip-hop based beat, Jooheon expresses the emotion of ‘pain’.
Reveal the truth rather than hide it.
Joohoney usually gives fans the image of ‘JOOHONEY = punishment’.
It was built naturally. Fast and sharp, never easily forgotten
A presence that does not exist. This title song is the result of the most elaborate implementation of that symbol. Furthermore, he incorporated Muhammad Ali's famous saying, “I'm gonna float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” into the lyrics.
Completely combines your narrative with the theme of ‘STING’. lightly
The power to soar, but leave a clear mark at crucial moments. JOOHONEY’s identity as a ‘bee’ and his artistic instincts finally converge as one in this song.
A feeling that cannot be reached without getting hurt, and that feeling becomes more
The thrust of pushing deep into the depths. In this song, he uses music to show that madness and light ultimately point in the same direction.
It shows.
It's a completely different experience from the explosive energy of Monsta X's stage. overwhelming
I chose raw instinct and linear power over scale. This song
This is the point where the identity of ‘solo artist JOOHONEY’ is revealed most clearly.

Emotions, different forms of ‘INSANITY’
[Light (INSANITY)] is a 7-way translation of a person's inner self with different textures.
It's a chapter.
‘Gwang’ shakes the boundary between light and madness, while ‘Fear’ brings anxiety and
Sounds a siren of anger. If ‘STING’ proves its identity through scars,
'Push' is about finding center in a shaky relationship. 'Bite' depicts a desire that cannot be hidden, 'Until your head touches the sky' depicts the will to soar beyond your limits, and 'NO BRAIN NO PAIN' depicts the strange tranquility that remains after burning all emotions.
Even though they look different, all songs point in one direction. myself to the end
This is a story about the light that meets at the end of pushing.
- “Light ultimately begins with myself.”
The visual concept of [Light (INSANITY)] expands this narrative.
A young man from the past throwing himself in a room full of graffiti, a large speaker
A current artist who dominates the front. The two worlds collide, but
Conflict becomes the driving force of creation. Jooheon does not erase his past self.
Rather, we embrace those traces through the ‘process of converting them into light.’ Only those who are immersed in it can reach it.
A moment of clarity. There he shines again.
- Again, the moment when the world of Jooheon is completed.
This 2nd mini album is Jooheon's expanded career as a rapper, singer, producer, and director.
This is an album that combines all spectrums.
He pushed himself to the end and found a new starting point at the end. [Light (INSANITY)] is a work that records that journey, and at the same time, Jooheon
This is the most convincing trailer that shows how far it will expand in the future.
