MONSTA X finished their solo concert in Japan successfully with all members. They held the solo concert "2025 MONSTA X CONNECT X" at Yokohama Pia Arena MM for two days on August 27 and 28. It was their first concert in Japan in about six years, and there was high interest from Japanese MONBEBE (fan name) early on. They interacted closely with fans, delivering unforgettable moments with wonderful performances and diverse activities. Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the packed audience, they appeared with a grand band intro. Starting with "BEASTMODE," they quickly performed "Trespass" and "FOLLOW," showcasing a stage unique to a performance group that "trusts and enjoys." MONSTA X greeted fans joyfully after a long time, explaining the significance and highlights of this concert, further raising the audience's expectations. They then overwhelmed the venue with richer sounds from "WHO DO U LOVE?" to "U R" and demonstrated the true value of an all-band live performance. Particularly, "CRESCENDO" was performed for the first time in Japan, harmonizing deep sensitivity with their unique performance, further enhancing the atmosphere of the venue. Additionally, to commemorate MONSTA X's 10th anniversary, a "CONNECT Q" corner was prepared for fan interaction. The members participated in a quiz reflecting on memories from the past 10 years with fans, creating a fun and warm atmosphere. They delivered laughter and emotion with various questions, including episodes from their first Japan tour in 2018 and guessing music video titles, and even recreated past album covers. As the corner enjoyed by MONBEBE further energized the venue, they performed "Jealousy" and "Wanted," followed by Hyunwon's self-composed song "Fire & Ice" from their new mini-album "THE X," set to release on September 1, which received a great response from fans. They then shared stories about the recently released pre-release song "Do What I Want" music video and surprised fans with the choreography for the new album, raising expectations for their comeback. In "By My Side," a self-composed song by Joohoney, and the title track "Wish On The Same Sky" from their 7th single in Japan, they created even more special moments by connecting with fans. They also went into the audience to further energize the venue. They then performed "ZONE," "Rodeo," and "Fallin'" in succession, concluding the stage with tireless passion and energy. On the 29th, MONSTA X expressed through their agency STARSHIP Entertainment, "It was our first concert in Japan in a while, but thanks to the warm support and enthusiastic cheers, we were able to enjoy standing on stage even more. We feel happy and grateful to celebrate our 10th anniversary and stand on stage together as MONSTA X through these two days of concerts. We will work hard to repay MONBEBE with good stages and music. Using the energy gained from this concert as motivation, we will carry out activities for the soon-to-be-released new album 'THE X' even more powerfully, so we ask for your expectations and support." MONSTA X will officially make their comeback on September 1 with the release of their new album "THE X" and the title track "N the Front."
