The 'trustworthy listening performance' MONSTA X (MONSTA X: Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Jooheon, IM) is returning.
According to their agency, Starship Entertainment, MONSTA X will release their new mini album 'THE X' today (1st) at 6 p.m. (KST) through various music streaming sites, marking their full comeback. Following the release, they will hold a comeback talk live at 8 p.m. on MONSTA X's official YouTube channel, sharing joy with fans.
'THE X' is an album that encapsulates MONSTA X's decade-long journey, which began in 2015. Having maintained their position at the center of the K-pop market with powerful performances and music, they are set to shake up the K-pop scene once again with this new release, presenting numerous possibilities and new directions. Above all, as this album showcases all six members reuniting as a complete group, fan anticipation and interest are hotter than ever.
The album contains a pre-release track 'Do What I Want' and the title track 'N the Front', along with 'Savior', 'Tuscan Leather', 'Catch Me Now', and 'Fire & Ice', totaling six songs. Hyungwon, Jooheon, and IM, who have consistently built MONSTA X's musical color, participated in songwriting and composing, strengthening the group's unique narrative.
The title track 'N the Front' is the strongest summary of MONSTA X's present. With a declaration of 'rather than following someone, we set the standard', it embodies MONSTA X's attitude of defining 'the front' on their own terms, without being trapped in others' frames.
The music video portrays the members shaking the world, representing those who hold monsters in their hearts. MONSTA X is expected to overwhelm viewers with rebellious and gritty kitsch actions, providing thrilling catharsis.
Expectations are focused on MONSTA X's unique performance. Having established the term 'trustworthy listening performance' through numerous stages, MONSTA X recently proved their prowess as 'performance kings' with their complete solo concert 'CONNECT X' to celebrate their 10th anniversary held in Seoul and Japan. Furthermore, as they reaffirmed their distinctive energy and decade-long experience through the music video and performance video for the pre-release track 'Do What I Want', public interest is also concentrated on the overwhelming stage for the title track 'N the Front'.
In the midst of this, MONSTA X heightened expectations by posting an album preview video on their official SNS on the 31st of last month. Six tracks, including Hyungwon's self-composed 'Fire & Ice', Jooheon's self-composed songs 'Do What I Want', 'Tuscan Leather', and IM's self-composed track 'Savior', are expected to showcase different textures and narratives, heating up the hearts of their global fans.
Meanwhile, MONSTA X will release their new mini album 'THE X' today (1st) at 6 p.m. (KST) through various music streaming sites and will fully commence their comeback activities with the title track 'N the Front'.
