Group Monsta X (MONSTA X) captivated U.S. fans with activities for their new release.
Monsta X appeared on FOX11's morning news and entertainment program Good Day LA (굿데이 LA, GDLA) on the 10th (local time). Visiting the area to mark the release of their third U.S. studio album Unfold (언폴드), they delivered a live performance and shared various stories while drawing the attention of global fans.
After the announcement of the North American dates for the world tour raised local fans' expectations, Shownu said, "Every time we come to the United States, fans welcome us so passionately that it makes me want to do better," expressing his feelings. Kihyun recalled last year's KCON LA stage and said, "I loved the stage we created together with the fans," revealing his excitement about the tour.
On being the only K-pop artist to have three U.S. studio albums with Unfold, the members said, "It feels like an honor to be able to perform the title track 'heal (힐)' on GDLA." They added that "heal" carries the message, "Love is painful, but we fall in love every time. And we cannot live without love," explaining the meaning of the new song.
Meanwhile, when asked about the secret to their close teamwork, Minhyuk said, "We contact each other every day, and that seems to be what creates our perfect teamwork." Kihyun added that, even after being together more than 13 years including trainee days, he is sometimes surprised that they still joke around with each other, which warmed the atmosphere.
Finally, Jooheon, looking back to when they first performed at GDLA seven years ago, said he would tell himself, "Be healthy and always humble, 'no brain no pain,' go with the flow," and concluded the interview.
That day Monsta X performed the title track 'heal' from Unfold live. With deep emotion and solid vocals that captivated the venue, they demonstrated excellent coordination, emphasizing the song's soaring and grand charm and delivering a highly polished performance.
Since releasing Unfold, Monsta X has continued active activities through various local broadcasts and media. With this album, Monsta X set the record as the first K-pop artist to release three U.S. studio albums, drawing attention from major local media such as Billboard, Forbes and Access Hollywood, once again proving their global influence.
Following the U.S. release of their new album, Monsta X will expand the stages of the '2026 Monsta X world tour [The X : Nexus]' through a North American tour starting in October. Having broadened their musical spectrum with the new album while solidifying their stage presence through the world tour, expectations are high for their activities.
Monsta X will continue the '2026 Monsta X world tour [The X : Nexus] (2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR [THE X : NEXUS])' on the 18th in Jakarta, Indonesia.
