The group MONSTA X exuded their presence on the global stage.
MONSTA X attended 'KCON LA 2025' held at the Crypto.com Arena and LA Convention Center in Los Angeles, USA, from the 1st to the 3rd (local time), and took the stage at 'M COUNTDOWN' on the 2nd. They presented a stage that reflects ten years of experience, as well as a 'DREAM STAGE' that united their global fandom, showcasing a performance worthy of the 'trustworthy listening' moniker.
On this day, Shownu and Hyungwon performed the opening act, delivering a powerful start. They presented 'Love Me A Little,' captivating the audience from the moment they appeared with their elegant atmosphere and powerful choreography, creating a vibrant stage filled with their energy and making for a perfect opening performance that set the festive tone.
As the performance continued following Shownu and Hyungwon's opening, MONSTA X also adorned the closing. Amid the cheers of enthusiastic fans, MONSTA X showcased stunning visuals in coordinated suits and opened their impressive set with 'Beautiful Liar,' eliciting explosive cheers. They then performed 'WHO DO U LOVE?' and the English version 'Play it Cool,' captivating the audience with excellent teamwork, skilled facial expressions, and clever stage manners.
The atmosphere heated up even more, and finally, the 'DREAM STAGE' followed. MONSTA X showcased a powerful and passionate 'GAMBLER,' joined on stage by global fans who signed up in advance, creating a massive scale reminiscent of a 'mega crew,' perfectly synchronizing and culminating a stage worthy of the 'DREAM STAGE.'
Following the performance, the feedback about MONSTA X's stage continued. The American economic magazine Forbes highlighted the sizzling excitement of the venue, which was filled with anticipation before they took the stage, noting MONSTA X's strong return as the audience's cheers resonated throughout the performance.
MONSTA X demonstrated their formidable global power through this 'KCON LA 2025.' They expanded their stage from 'KCON 2015 USA,' their debut performance in the U.S., to 'KCON 2016 LA,' and now, nine years later, as they celebrate their 10th debut anniversary, they marked the opening and closing of 'KCON LA 2025,' proving their decade-long journey.
MONSTA X, through their agency Starship Entertainment, noted, "I'm excited to greet you again at 'KCON LA' after a long time, and I pondered a lot about what stage to show, but I was overwhelmed and happy to be greeted with such enthusiastic cheers. I think I will never forget the stage I created with MONBEBE (official fan club name). I want to thank all the MONBEBE who cheered for us on-site and through broadcasts. I feel like I am gaining tremendous momentum through this stage. I will work hard in preparing for my comeback and repay you with good music and performances, so please look forward to it."
MONSTA X will release their mini album 'THE X' on Sept. 1 and begin their full-fledged comeback activities.
