I.M, a member of boy group MONSTA X, will begin his military service.

I.M., who entered the Army Training Center on the 9th, will be deployed as an active-duty soldier in the Army after completing basic military training.

I.M. said, "I was so happy to say hello to MONBEBE (fandom name) more closely as I recently started my world tour, and I'm glad I made good memories before joining the army. I hope MONBEBE takes good care of both body and mind until we meet again, and I hope you continue to support the members' activities. MONBEBE, I love you."

I.M is the last member of MONSTA X to join the army. His enlistment temporarily halted his activities as a whole, but Monsta X will continue to meet with fans through various activities, including a world tour.

I.M, who debuted as MONSTA X in 2015, has shown his outstanding capabilities in various fields, including songwriting, composition, production, and MC, as well as group activities. Not only did he complete MONSTA X's intense musical color by participating in writing and composing from his debut album, but he also led the group to successfully enter the global market based on his fluent English skills.

I.M, who was the first solo artist on the team in 2021, built another inner and dreamy music world from MONSTA X through his solo debut album "DUALITY," which filled all of his songs with his own songs. With the album, he has achieved remarkable results in entering the Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart, including No. 1 on iTunes' Top Albums chart in 18 countries and regions.

Since then, I.M., which has expanded its wide musical spectrum by breaking down genre limitations such as hip-hop, R&B, and jazz, has successfully held its first solo world tour "I.M WORLD TOUR 2024 Off The Beat" in 2024, demonstrating its potential as a solo artist by performing in 18 cities in 10 countries, including Europe, the United States, Canada and Asia.

I.M., who has established himself as an "all-rounder artist" by going back and forth between groups and soloists, re-impressed its overwhelming presence on stage by performing an unreleased solo song "ERROR 404" at the recently held Seoul performance of "2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR" (2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR "THE X: NEXUS)."

MONSTA X, which includes I.M, released a digital single in the U.S. on the 6th.
