MONSTA X proved their presence on stage at their debut WATERBOMB.
On the 26th, MONSTA X took the stage at the 'WATERBOMB BUSAN 2025' held at Busan Port's No. 1 Pier. In particular, their debut at WATERBOMB attracted even more attention, as they showcased powerful performances, experienced stage manners, and endless energy, refreshing the summer night heat.
That day, MONSTA X appeared on stage, flaunting a cool and hip style with a combination of sleeveless tops, jeans, and metal accessories, heating up the venue with their ever-present 'beast idol' force.
MONSTA X opened the show with 'GAMBLER.' Their sharp choreography and vigorous live singing elevated the atmosphere, and their representative hit 'Follow' incited a sing-along that felt like a concert, showcasing the essence of the festival. They followed up with 'Play It Cool,' delivering a refreshing and cool vibe that perfectly blended with WATERBOMB.
As the heat intensified, MONSTA X naturally interacted with the audience, creating an even more enjoyable atmosphere. In particular, Shownu's unexpected removal of his top drew explosive reactions from the crowd, and as they continued with 'Fallin',' they emitted even more intense energy. With the members' bold rapping and addictive choruses, accompanied by EDM sounds, MONSTA X demonstrated excellent stage manners and teamwork, leading the audience into a playful atmosphere. Following up with 'ZONE' and 'Rodeo,' they concluded the stage amid roaring applause, once again proving their label as 'the performance you can trust to listen and watch.'
Through their agency Starship Entertainment, MONSTA X expressed, "We are both excited to greet everyone at WATERBOMB for the first time, and we had a lot of thoughts about creating a stage that even those who don't know us can enjoy. The atmosphere at the venue was so hot and exciting that we were truly able to enjoy the stage. Thank you so much to our fans, MONBEBE, who waited at the venue despite the hot weather, and I want to convey that thanks to the MONBEBE cheering from afar, we were able to finish the performance safely. Also, I would like to thank the audience for creating a wonderful stage with their passionate cheers. We will show many diverse and wonderful stages in the future, so please look forward to our comeback on September 1st."
From the 18th to the 20th, MONSTA X held a full-group performance '2025 MONSTA X CONNECT X' at KSPO DOME, celebrating their 10th debut anniversary, announcing the return of the full group (Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Jooheon, IM) while demonstrating their presence with even more powerful stages.
Meanwhile, MONSTA X is scheduled to perform at 'KCON LA 2025' on August 1st, ahead of their comeback on September 1st.
