(Updated June 2020)
IMPORTANT!!! I have moved to Korea since I created this blog, and I since have discovered that many videos – especially ones that are uploaded by fans with English subs have been blocked on Korean YouTube and other websites. This also means I cannot add as many full videos as before, because they simply are not available in my region. All of the videos on the list are the ones I can access easily in Korea, or they are subbed clips I can find on Korean YouTube. I apologize for the inconvenience! – Katherine
Approximate Promotion Period: October and November 2019
NOTE: Wonho left Monsta X in the middle of “Follow” promotions, a few days after their mini album was released. All of their pre-recorded variety appearances aired (with Wonho still in them); however, Monsta X did not make any more group variety appearances after that and focused on music shows for the rest of their promotional period.

Episode 74
A K-pop centered variety show with former Weekly Idol hosts Jung Hyungdon and Defconn. It generally features standard dance and mission corners, tailoring the games to the group or a specific member. This episode is hard to find because they stopped uploading episodes to V-Live after Episode 41; I personally can’t find it because of restrictions in my region. Hopefully, you will be able to!
RELAY DANCE

MNET/M2

A popular series of dance videos where an idol group performs their latest track standing in a line, with one member dancing at a time.
WEEKLY IDOL
Weekly Idol fansubbed episodes are blocked in Korea, so I can only link whatever subbed clips I can find on YouTube at this point. There aren’t many clips of this episode, so I embedded the one where they introduce “Follow.”
Weekly Idol

A popular variety show that shines the spotlight on one or more idol groups every episode. There are well-known corners that often involve dance challenges or aegyo, but the guests always play games or complete missions to earn prizes.
