The boy group MONSTA X confirmed its global presence through its North American tour.

MONSTA X held the final show of its North American schedule for the "2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR [THE X : NEXUS]" at the WAMU Theater in Seattle, U.S., on the 24th (all local times).

Having embarked on a North American tour for the first time in about four years since the "MONSTA X TOUR" in 2022, MONSTA X presented a performance that synthesized its expanded musical world and extensive discography. In their 11th year since debut, they continued to make new attempts, clearly revealing MONSTA X's unique musical color and reaffirming their solid position in North America.

The "THE X : NEXUS" tour was notable for its composition encompassing both the past and present of MONSTA X. They showcased a variety of music, from representative tracks such as "DRAMARAMA," "Love Killa," and "Rush Hour," to the title track "MAGIC" from their recently released mini-album "The Phase," and tracks from their third U.S. studio album "Unfold." Adding VCRs that embodied the meaning of connection in the tour name "THE X : NEXUS," as well as solo and unit stages, they unfolded MONSTA X's musical journey in a multidimensional way.

The enthusiastic support from Monbebe (the fandom name) continued. Audiences enjoyed the performance with group singing and loud cheers, while MONSTA X interacted closely with fans through sincere and fun communication. They confirmed their strong bond even on the North American stage they had not visited for a long time, building special memories in each city.

Praise from major overseas media also followed this North American tour. The U.S. business magazine Forbes focused its coverage on the Los Angeles show, highly evaluating MONSTA X's performance depth cultivated over more than 10 years and their further developed appearance. In particular, it detailed their high-quality performances, the individuality of each member revealed in solo stages, and their musical spectrum encompassing various genres.

The U.K. music media Rolling Stone UK reported that MONSTA X "still maintains passion and fire for the stage," highlighting their solid teamwork and bond with fans. MONSTA X's North American performances also drew attention from the U.S. music specialist media Billboard, entertainment media Entertainment Tonight, and entertainment media The Hollywood Reporter.

Additionally, the New York-based U.S. media amNewYork evaluated MONSTA X as a "group that exerts a powerful stage presence," praising their precise group choreography and vivid live vocals. Entertainment media Sweety High and performance specialist media BroadwayWorld also sent praise for MONSTA X's differentiated stages and outstanding performance capabilities.

Having successfully completed the North American performances of "THE X : NEXUS," MONSTA X conveyed sincere impressions through its agency Starship Entertainment, stating, "While preparing for this tour, we thought a lot about what kind of music and stage the current MONSTA X could show you, and we tried to show you various aspects accordingly. Seeing the reactions sent by Monbebe at each performance, we were happy and grateful that what we prepared was well conveyed. Please look forward to and be with us as MONSTA X, which is currently progressing while considering new music and stages."

MONSTA X is scheduled to hold an encore concert for "THE X : NEXUS" at Incheon Inspire Arena on November 21 and 22 to meet fans.
