Touch the sky Lyrics – JOOHONEY (주헌) | from “光 (INSANITY)”

JOOHONEY’s second solo mini-album INSANITY ignites today—January 5 via Starship Entertainment—and “Touch the sky” ft. Tiger JK is the track that shatters the ceiling, a frantic pulse of rebellion screaming to ditch the overthink and rocket toward whatever wild high awaits.

This banger, track six on the seven-song set, is JOOHONEY at his rawest: self-composed with Ye-Yo! and JK, blending thunderous hip-hop beats—think pounding 808s and glitchy synth stabs—with bilingual flows that flip from Korean introspection to English fire. It’s K-rap with a global edge, urgent and unhinged, capturing that dopamine drought of modern burnout.

Lines like “요즘 죄다 재미없어 찾는 Dopamine” nail the sticky frustration of half-assed days and buffering plans, while the chorus erupts into chaos (“냅다 쳐버리자 깽판”)—a call to smash limits, hearts racing untethered till your head grazes the clouds. Tiger JK’s verse adds that veteran grit, painting pandemonium minds and delirious visions, turning the whole thing into a monster-soul anthem born from shared scars. Teased in concept clips last month, it had Monbebes (and beyond) buzzing on Weverse about that “go mad to shine bright” energy.

INSANITY lives up to its name—a compact 25-minute blaze under the “光” (light) banner, pulling from JOOHONEY’s military haze to unpack stagnation’s grip. The boxing-inspired visuals (think fight-card teasers) frame it as a ring-side therapy sesh: title track “STING” ft. Muhammad Ali samples for punchy swagger, pre-release “Push” with IVE’s REI for sleek R&B flex, and cuts like “Fear,” “Bite,” and “NO BRAIN NO PAIN” layering delicate doubts with authentic roars. It’s diverse life snapshots in sound—overthinking wars, love’s sparks, future hallucinations—proving he’s not just rapping pain, but weaponizing it into light. No fluff; just seven tracks that hit like uppercuts, evolving his Lite-era vibes into something fiercer, more lived-in.

Fresh out of service, JOOHONEY’s owning this solo lane like a champ—the Monsta X rapper who turned 2015 debuts into global hooks is now 30, wiser, and untamed. Post-Lite’s 2024 glow (that went platinum in Korea), he’s bridging gens with JK nods while eyeing Monsta X’s ’26 reunion. INSANITY? It’s his post-enlistment manifesto, tour whispers already floating for spring—raw hunger meets refined fire, reminding us why he’s K-pop’s quiet storm.
