"Midnight Dream" MONSTA X has once again achieved a meaningful record with their new album in the United States.

According to Billboard, a U.S. music specialty media outlet, in its the 18th issue, MONSTA X's third U.S. full-length album "Unfold," released on the 3rd, entered the main album chart "Billboard 200." With this achievement, MONSTA X has now placed all three of its U.S. full-length albums released to date on the "Billboard 200."

Along with this, MONSTA X secured the second spot on the 'Top Album Sales' chart and ranked 37th on the 'Billboard Artist 100', once again demonstrating their solid influence in the global market.

Shinbo's "Unfold" is an album that chronicles MONSTA X's journey over the past decade, embodying the meaning of "unfolding what was once folded." The 10-track collection honestly conveys a wide range of emotions, including wounds, growing pains, faded love, and inner voices that even the artists themselves were unaware of. In particular, the title track "heal" questions the meaning of "true recovery" within relationships marked by recurring wounds, featuring an impressive structure that unfolds progressively atop a heavy and majestic soundscape.

Monsta X also set a record as the first K-pop group to release three regular albums in the United States with this album. The group made a successful entry into the Billboard charts in 2020 with their first U.S. regular album, "All About Luv," which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, and followed up with their second regular album, "The Dreaming," which remained on the chart for two consecutive weeks. Among these, the new album "Unfold" also achieved strong results on major charts including the Billboard 200, further cementing Monsta X's presence.

Major outlets including Billboard, MTV, Forbes, Access Hollywood, and WWD have focused on "Unfold." Billboard introduced the music video for the title track "heal," noting that MONSTA X has been steadily expanding its presence in the global market. Regarding the album track "baby blue," Billboard mentioned that the song was first unveiled at the "2025 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour" held in four U.S. cities at the end of last year, highlighting MONSTA X's powerful performances at the time.

Meanwhile, MONSTA X is connecting with fans worldwide through their '2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR [THE X : NEXUS]'. On the 18th, they will continue their performances in Jakarta, Indonesia, and are scheduled to expand their stage to North America in October.
