First with the pretty boy persona, then the smart guy, and then the guy who was enthusiastic when it came to mini-games but somehow just fell short every time (this one was just gaining momentum when he left). I remember Jaesuk in particular would help him and always try to pitch a new character for him to step into. I do agree that Joongki's moments were not as entertaining as compared to the other members, but I think he tried hard to find a role for himself in the short time he was on the show. In Kwangsoo's case, he went totally the opposite way and embraced that 'dumb/naive/earnest but lacking 2%/maknae and therefore everyone's slave and punching bag' role. Something that's crossed my mind as well is that maybe Joongki wasn't quite as comfortable with shedding his image as a serious actor in favor of joking around and looking silly during games.

They lucked out here because it seemed like Gary didn't need much prompting and the Monday Couple concept was able to evolve organically. Gary just happened to make an off-hand comment while stuck in an awkward maybe-romance situation with Jihyo, and the editors latched onto it with silly captions and CGI to assign him the role of the romantic guy. The magic happened in the little moments where the writers could give them color by painting them a certain way to entertain the audience, and I suppose it never clicked as well with Joongki as it did with the rest of them.įor example, as already mentioned here, any one of the younger guys could have ended up becoming a love team with Jihyo.

When RM was just starting out, Gary, Kwangsoo, and Joongki were all newcomers to the genre and basically had no experience doing variety. I think he just didn't have that natural grasp when it came to variety.
