'Trustworthy performer' Monsta X (MONSTA X) continued the heat of their Asia tour with an irreplaceable stage presence.
Monsta X on the 28th (local time) held the 2026 Monsta X World Tour [The X : Nexus] in Kuala Lumpur at the Mega Star Arena (Mega Star Arena) in Kuala Lumpur.
That day, Monsta X, who met Malaysia's Monbebe (official fan club name) for the first time in seven years, thrilled the audience with a more solid and diverse stage. They instantly ignited the seats with the grandeur of "DRAMARAMA," then delivered Monsta X's characteristic heavy energy with a title medley that continued with "Love Killa" and "Rush Hour," and raised audience immersion to a peak with performances of "LONE RANGER" and "Catch Me Now."
The members delivered greetings they had prepared to actively communicate with local fans and made eye contact, showing a bond that made the seven-year hiatus seem insignificant. They also proved a wide spectrum through the emotional stage of "MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT" and "Deny" and "AND."
They showed musical expansion by performing stages of "Do What I Want," "N the Front," and "Tuscan Leather" from the mini album "THE X," released last September, and raised the completeness of the stage with "Beautiful" and "Nobody Else." In particular, they added fun by naturally continuing their movement lines through camera-switching performances and drew enthusiastic cheers from fans.
The solo stages that decorated the middle of the concert were moments when each member's abilities shone. Shownu displayed overwhelming physicality and presence with "Around & Go," Kihyun showcased explosive vocal power and charisma through "Howling," Hyungwon reversed the mood with a dreamy performance of "NO AIR," and Minhyuk delivered deep emotion with "Reaching," in which he played guitar himself.
Jooheon also completed intense rap and performances with "STING (Feat. Muhammad Ali)" and "Haneul-e meoriga daheul ttaekkaji (Feat. Tiger JK)" (Until my head reaches the sky) . Then, when the solo stage that IM could not join because of military service, which IM performed at the Seoul concert, was released as a VCR, the members and fans watched it together and created an even more special moment, adding to the meaning of the concert with perfect unity.
Toward the end of the concert, Monsta X's representative songs poured out from "Autobahn" to "Beautiful Liar," "Alligator," and "Shoot Out," and the energy of the venue exploded again. Monsta X moved closer to the audience seats to interact more closely with fans and left a strong afterglow by singing "Fire & Ice" together.
Through their agency Starship Entertainment, Monsta X said they were moved throughout the performance by the passion and sincerity of the Malaysian Monbebe they met after a long time. They said they were very happy to be able to leave such meaningful memories through the tour, and they hoped the tour would remain good memories for all Monbebe. They asked fans to look forward to them as they work hard to prepare and visit more Monbebe with even better stages.
Meanwhile, Monsta X will move to the Taipei stage on April 4 to continue the Asia tour of the Monsta X World Tour "The X : Nexus."
