Shownu’s Instagram username is @shownuayo. As of yet, no one is certain what it means, but fans have come up with several theories. Some think it’s an alternative romanization of the Korean phrase “Shownu-yeyo“, meaning “I’m Shownu” or “this is Shownu”.
Others think it could be a combination of Shownu and “johayo”, the Korean word for “like”.
And other still just think “ayo” refers to the common English greeting, as in, “Ayo, what’s up?”.
So far, he only has one upload — a handsome mirror selfie captioned, “Let’s meet often~”.
Just two hours after the new account was announced, Shownu had already racked up over 60,000 followers. He also reached the K-Pop trending section on Twitter as fans shared their excitement and predictions for the future.
And Monbebes believe Shownu’s new account could be the start of a new brand deal! Kit Kat Korea nudged MONSTA X fans claiming if they receive more Instagram followers, they could potentially sign Shownu as an endorser in the future.
If KitKat’s followers increase, I think he will be able to see KitKat positively. Then when we make an offer to him later, I think we’ll get a good result… KitKat Korea will always support Shownu!
