Is everything Monsta size? Monsta X merch goes viral
** OP did not make that up, that is the title of the original article**
Previews for the official merchandise of Monsta X's upcoming on/offline fan concert MX Agent were revealed on April 18th, and one item in particular has attracted a lot of attention in online K-pop communities. The item listed as a 'cereal bowl,' apparently designed by the members, quickly went viral for measuring at an entire 900 ml.
For reference, this more typically-sized cereal mug is 470 ml
And most standard wine/champagne bottles are 750 ml.
The merchandise trended on K-pop twitter with netizens comparing it to the size of other mugs and soup bowls.
This isn't the first time Monsta X's extra-large merchandise has gotten online attention. After the official goods for the group's fancon MX University were released last year, the tumbler/travel mug item (designed by Kihyun) made waves for measuring at 887 ml. One popular tweet compared it to the size of a Starbucks venti drink:
And their larger-than-average photocards have also been a source of grief for collectors:
But on the other hand, fans aren't too surprised by Monsta X's immense appetite for cereal, given that a post by Shownu to the group's fan cafe has previously gone viral for showing he ate cereal out of a soup pot.
