MONSTA X has returned. MONSTA X released their new mini-album "THE X" today (1st) at 6 PM through various music streaming sites, marking their comeback. At 8 PM after the release, they plan to hold a comeback talk live on MONSTA X's official YouTube channel to share joy with fans. "THE X" is an album that summarizes MONSTA X's 10-year journey that has continued since 2015. They have opened new horizons while maintaining a strong presence in the K-POP market with intense performances and music. With this new release, they present numerous possibilities and new directions, shaking the K-POP world once again. Above all, as the six members gather in one place to showcase the album as a complete group, fan expectations and interest are hotter than ever. The album includes the pre-released song "Do What I Want" and the title track "N the Front," as well as "Savior," "Tuscan Leather," "Catch Me Now," and "Fire & Ice," totaling six songs. Hyungwon, Jooheon, and I.M, who have steadily built MONSTA X's musical color, participated in writing and composing, further solidifying the team's unique narrative. The title track "N the Front" is the strongest summary of MONSTA X's current state. It contains a declaration of "Rather than chasing someone, we will set the standard," embodying MONSTA X's attitude of defining "the front" on their own without being bound by others. The music video depicts them hiding monsters within their hearts, showcasing members who shake the world. MONSTA X captures attention with rebellious and sometimes rough, kitschy actions, delivering exhilarating catharsis. Expectations are high for MONSTA X's unique performances. Having established the descriptor of "a performance you can believe, listen to, and watch" through numerous stages, MONSTA X recently proved their strength again with the successful completion of their 10th-anniversary solo performance "CONNECT X" in Seoul and Japan. Additionally, through the music video and performance video for the pre-released song "Do What I Want," they reaffirmed their unique energy and the weight of ten years, drawing interest for the overwhelming stage that follows with the title track "N the Front." MONSTA X has officially started their comeback activities with the release of their new mini-album "THE X" at 6 PM today, featuring the title track "N the Front."
