Boy group MONSTA X has opened a new world tour with a stronger presence of the whole body.

MONSTA X (Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Jooheon, and I.M) held "2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR "THE X: NEXUS" at KSPO DOME (formerly Gymnastics Stadium) in Seoul for three days from the 30th of last month to February 1st.

This concert is the first world tour in about four years since the 2022 MONSTA X 'No Limit' Tour in Seoul held in 2022, and added meaning by reintroducing KSPO DOME in about six months since the "2025 MONSTA X Connect X" held in July last year. In particular, I.M's full-length performance ahead of his enlistment on the 9th, and the last day's performance was broadcast live online through the global transmission platform "Beyond LIVE," giving global MONBEBE (official fan club name) a more unforgettable moment.

MONSTA X, which opened with "DRAMARAMA," showed the team's "root" through a medley of title songs that led to "Love Killa" and "Rush Hour." He then released extraordinary energy from the start with non-stop performances such as "LONE RANGER" and "Catch Me Now."

Those who turned the atmosphere around with the stage of "MIDLE OF THE NIGHT" completed their narratives more closely and increased the immersion of the performance with a stage that featured the members' musical capabilities, including "Deny," "AND," and "Tuscan Leather."

Another highlight of this performance was the solo stage, which concentrated the musical colors and capabilities of each member. Shownu created a dance line that goes between temperance and power through "Around & Go," and Kihyun showed his explosive singing and charisma with "Howling."

Hyungwon performed sensuous performances with "NO AIR" reminiscent of the image of water, while Minhyuk added emotion by performing guitar performance himself in "Reaching." I.M gave strong energy through ERROR 404 with DJing, and Jooheon once again imprinted his own firm music world with his recently released title track "STING (Feat. Muhammad Ali)" and his track "Feat. Tiger JK." The solo stages of different colors proved not only the completeness of the group but also the musical spectrum that the members have built up, and caused a heated response from fans, looking forward to MONSTA X's colorful stage in the future.

Starting with "Autobahn," the title song parade, which unfolded again from "Beautiful Liar," "Alligator," and "Shoot Out," showed their blank performances and imprinted Monsta X's "belief listener" presence once again. In addition, a surprise teaser video was released at the end of the performance, raising fans' expectations by announcing the new song "Growing Pains," which will be released on the 6th.

The Seoul performance of "The X: Nexus" was a stage that concentrated the musical fruits that Monsta X has built over the past decade and synergy as a whole. Connecting the past, present, and further, the future as a flow, Monsta X proved to be a "present progressive" artist still evolving, and opened a new chapter called the world tour more meaningfully.

Through its agency Starship Entertainment, MONSTA X said, "We prepared this performance with a focus on 'What kind of stage will MONBEBE like?' and I was proud to feel that MONBEBE really liked it on stage. Thank you for still enjoying the performance with passionate support and cheers, and I think this performance was completed thanks to MONBEBE. In particular, I wanted to end it meaningfully as it was the last stage before I.M's enlistment, but I'm glad that I really enjoyed it and performed happily. MONSTA X will continue to run in 2026, so please look forward to it and support it. "I love you, MONBEBE!" he said. In particular, on the last day of the performance, I.M. drew attention by holding an open shaved ceremony on stage.

MONSTA X, who completed the Seoul concert, will tour the 2026 MONSTA X World Tour 'The X: Nexus' in Japan' arena tour in Tokyo Bay at Chiba Lara Arena in Japan in April and Osaka's Ookini Arena Maishima in May, and will continue its world tour to Asia and South America.
