11
We never held a handheld mic while practicing for the music show choreography, so it was a bit confusing But more than that, it's a bit heavy So, what was that part?
12
I was holding the mic while doing the "vroom vroom" part It was like lifting a 1kg dumbbell It felt heavy, but no worries since I'll see MONSTIEZ Do I look okay? Feels kind of new, right?
13
We're going full "Twins" today Oh? I have the perilla leaf hairstyle!
14

16
- I should do the pretty version - The pretty version Today's the sexy version I'm going to do a different version from the choreography version The version that MONSTIEZ likes I've heard "CHOOM" so many times It felt like it was already out in the world a month ago I think I'll feel it when I meet them "Oh we're really back" I'll go and rock it Please support us We prepared each of our favorite combinations for MONSTIEZ - Let's go - Yes We're off We're off!

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
