The group Monsta X (MONSTA X) showed their love for fans with the 2026 season's greetings.
Their agency Starship Entertainment recently announced the release of the 2026 season's greetings 'LOVE FORMULA MONBEBE' and shared it on Monsta X's (Shownu·Minhyuk·Kihyun·Hyungwon·Jooheon·IM) official social media, revealing a variety of concept photos.
In the released photos, the members drew attention by transforming into researchers, using magnifying glasses to observe against a laboratory backdrop or writing on chalkboards. In particular, they used heart-shaped objects to stage scenes suggesting they were studying their love for Monbebe (their official fan club name). In another version of the concept photos, they appeared in pink-toned dandy styling, adding fun with various poses such as hugging heart objects or measuring their size, and perfectly conveyed a romantic mood with six distinct visuals.
The composition of the season's greetings released together is also eye-catching. Practical desk calendars and clips, ID photos that hit fans' tastes, and a report set directly recorded by the members were among the plentiful items that raised anticipation. Monsta X's 2026 season's greetings 'Love Formula Monbebe' went on pre-order on the 19th.
Celebrating their 10th anniversary this year, Monsta X has proven an irreplaceable presence in the music industry with not only musical ability but also diverse performances, a distinct team color, and visuals. In July, they held a full-group 10th anniversary concert, 2025 Monsta X Connect X, at KSPO Dome (formerly the Gymnastics Arena), proving their stage presence born of 10 years of experience and teamwork and continuing a brilliant run.
Then in September, their Korean mini album The X reached No. 31 on the Billboard 200, marking the first time a Korean album entered that chart and setting a new record, while also appearing on multiple charts such as World Albums, Independent Albums, Top Album Sales, Top Current Album Sales, and Billboard Artist 100, showing their global strength.
As proof of their reputation as a reliable performer, Monsta X has shown overwhelming energy and performances on various stages at home and abroad. Notably, having joined the U.S. Jingle Ball tour hosted by iHeartRadio—the first K-pop group to do so—in 2018 and appearing on the tour for three consecutive years, Monsta X will join the 2025 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour starting Dec. 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York (local time), performing in a total of four cities.
Their U.S. digital single released on the 14th, 'baby blue,' has been spotlighted by overseas media such as Forbes in the U.S. and NME in the U.K., increasing anticipation for their global activities.
