As the ongoing current hosts of the show, ATEEZ‘s Hongjoong and Yunho had some great interactions with their seniors in the industry. They even learned some of the choreography for “Beautiful Liar” during the show so they could perform it with the MONSTA X members!

And it turns out, the admiration goes both ways! During the episode of Idol Radio, Minhyuk shared that he listens to ATEEZ’s music a lot — especially due to Jongho — and that he watched the music video for the group’s most recent comeback “HALAZIA” within an hour of its release.
