'10th Anniversary' MONSTA X Showcases Enhanced Visuals

Boy group MONSTA X is garnering attention with their enhanced visuals ahead of their 10th-anniversary complete group performance.

Starship Entertainment, the group’s agency, released individual concept photos for MONSTA X (Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Joohoney, I.M) through the official SNS channels on July 15th. These photos are for the ‘2025 MONSTA X CONNECT X’ 10th-anniversary complete group performance, which will be held from July 18th to 20th at the KSPO DOME (formerly Gymnastics Arena) in Seoul. 

In the released photos, MONSTA X members exude diverse charms while wearing black suits. The members pose against the backdrop of a maze, previously revealed in the performance poster, and utilize hats and flags inscribed with ‘CONNECT X’ to complete a solemn and overwhelming mood.

Furthermore, the black-and-white cuts featuring the members’ figures and shadows intersecting capture MONSTA X’s unique and sophisticated mood, heightening anticipation for the 10th-anniversary performance.

MONSTA X debuted in 2015 with their first mini-album ‘TRESPASS’ and celebrated their 10th anniversary on May 14th. They expressed gratitude to their fans by releasing a complete digital album ‘NOW PROJECT vol.1’ and hosting a free pop-up exhibition ‘MONOLOGUE’ on their anniversary. They are now preparing to spend another meaningful time with their fans through the complete group performance from July 18th to 20th.

As this performance marks their return after a four-year hiatus, MONSTA X is reportedly meticulously preparing for the show. Expectations are high for their performance, which promises to showcase overwhelming stage presence and concepts befitting their reputation as a group deserving of the moniker ‘trust and watch performance’ (a Korean term praising their reliable and captivating performances).

MONSTA X will hold their 10th-anniversary complete group performance ‘2025 MONSTA X CONNECT X’ from July 18th to 20th at the KSPO DOME (formerly Gymnastics Arena) in Songpa-gu, Seoul.
