Taking the stage with the confidence of seasoned veterans, MONSTA X delivered mega-hits such as “DRAMARAMA,” “Love Killa,” and “Rush Hour.” The energetic mood soared when the group moved into “N the Front,” “Do What I Want,” “Fire & Ice,” “Catch Me Now,” and “Tuscan Leather”, all tracks from “THE X” album released in celebration of the group’s 10th anniversary. The performance of “Beautiful,” a fan favorite, further electrified the crowd, spotlighting MONSTA X dynamic energy and vibrant stage presence. The party continued with “Beautiful Liar,” “Alligator,” and “Shoot Out.”

“Marking the start of a new year, we’ve embarked on a new tour,” JOOHONEY said with excitement. “It feels like we’re opening a new chapter in our career.”  

The standout moments of the Seoul shows were the solo performances by each member, each showcasing their individual charms. SHOWNU kicked things off with the groovy “Around & Go,” followed by KIHYUN and HYUNGWON, who commanded the stage with the breathtaking “Howling,” and the dreamy “NO AIR,” respectively. MINHYUK’s heartfelt guitar-led performance in “Reaching” and I.M’s vibrant blend of DJing and rapping in “ERROR 404” sparked enthusiastic reactions from fans. JOOHONEY delivered powerful performances of “STING (Feat. Muhammad Ali)” and “Touch the sky (Feat. Tiger JK),” tracks from his latest solo mini-album “INSANITY.” These iconic solo stages not only underscored each member’s unique musical identity but also showed the group’s continually evolving sound.

The Seoul shows, in particular, held a special meaning for both MONSTA X and its fans, as they are the final performances as a full group ahead of I.M’s enlistment in February. On the final night, the members joined him on stage to shave his head, bringing many fans to tears.

Despite dealing with back pain, I.M said, “I was told not to push myself, but I could not follow that advice because this is my last performance before enlistment. I ended up performing until the final day, and I think that’s the power of love. But for now, I’ll be putting my 10-year journey as a MONSTA X member on pause and taking a leave.”

As the concerts drew to a close, MONSTA X expressed heartfelt gratitude to its fans.

“I never expected to receive this much love from fans even after 12 years,” KIHYUN said. “It makes me feel that I need to do my best wherever I am for those who have stood by my side all this time. Thank you – you are the driving force of my life.” 

SHOWNU added, “I gain the strength to live with hope because of you. I never take your love for granted, and I hope you don’t take my love for you lightly either.”

“The X : NEXUS” marks MONSTA X’s first tour in four years since “NO LIMIT” in 2022. It symbolizes more than the group’s “connection” with its global fans – it focuses on a stronger “bond” and a “new leap.” Reflecting on the Seoul leg, the group shared, “We focused on what kind of stage our fans would like and felt proud because we could really sense on stage that they were truly enjoying what we offered.”

MONSTA X also surprised audiences by unveiling a teaser for “growing pains,” a new song set to drop on Feb. 6. The tour will continue across Asia, Latin America, and other regions, with the next stop scheduled for THUNDER DOME in Bangkok on March 7. After breaking into the Billboard 200 chart with “THE X” and joining the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour, the largest year-end festival in the U.S. for the fourth time in 2025, MONSTA X is set to continue its global momentum in 2026 alongside fans worldwide.

The group has unveiled the CHALLENGERS concept photos for their second full-length album REVIVE+, offering a bold visual preview of their upcoming pre-release track, BANG BANG. Shared through the group’s official social channels, the new images spotlight IVE’s wide-ranging visual spectrum and confident presence, reinforcing their status as one of K-pop’s most talked-about acts.

The concept photos arrive in striking poster-style layouts, blending strong typography with natural landscapes and modern architecture. Each member brings a distinct mood, pairing fashion-forward styling with phrases that reflect attitude and self-assurance. From cool charisma to playful defiance, the visuals highlight six different personalities moving under one clear vision.

Group shots continue the theme, set against raw concrete backdrops with sharp color contrasts. The members project restrained charisma while hinting at a transformation tied to the new release, building anticipation for what lies ahead.

Excitement intensified earlier this month when IVE teased BANG BANG on TikTok, sharing a snippet of the track along with its point choreography. 

Built around EDM and electronic sounds, the song opens with a western swing-inspired intro before shifting into a fast, direct beat. The track’s sharp energy and powerful performance elements quickly drew global attention, fueling curiosity for the full release.
