MONSTA X's new song's individual concept photos have been additionally released. The agency STARSHIP Entertainment recently unveiled the individual concept photos of Ki Hyun, Hyung Won, Joo Honey, and I.M for the American digital single 'baby blue' through MONSTA X's official SNS. In the released concept photos, Ki Hyun exudes a somewhat empty atmosphere with his slender profile and sharp gaze, while Hyung Won, holding the white feather accessory that appeared in previously released teaser content, stimulates curiosity with his distinct facial features. Joo Honey radiates a calm yet profound aura amidst the contrasting black feathers, and I.M, with a heavy black background, conveys a languid vibe, heightening anticipation for the new song. Following Shownu and Minhyuk, the visuals of Ki Hyun, Hyung Won, Joo Honey, and I.M have captured fans' attention, as MONSTA X is set to release the new song 'baby blue' at midnight on the 14th. This will be their first official single in America in about four years since the release of their 2nd full album 'THE DREAMING' in 2021, expected to attract global listeners with a deeper sensibility. MONSTA X successfully concluded their activities for the mini-album 'THE X' in September, with Hyung Won, Joo Honey, and I.M participating in the album production, showcasing their presence as a 'self-producing group'. Through the title track 'N the Front', they demonstrated a flexible exchange between vocals and rap, presenting a wide range of music. Furthermore, they updated their personal best initial sales, proving their solid presence on their 10th debut anniversary and their ongoing momentum. They will participate in the '2025 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour', starting on December 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Having previously delivered stunning performances in this tour, there is great interest in how they will showcase new charms through the new song 'baby blue'. MONSTA X's American digital single 'baby blue' will be released on the 14th at midnight through various music distribution sites, with the music video set to be released at 2 PM (KST) and midnight (ET) on the same day.
