MONSTA X

About MONSTA X

In 2020, the world found itself pulled physically apart. But despite the distance we were all still connected by one language: music. It’s that spirit of global connection that threads through Monsta X’s upcoming new album, the K-pop group’s second English-language effort. The album is the evocative next chapter following Monsta X’s English-language debut, All About Luv, which landed at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart on its release in 2020. The group, which formed in 2015 on reality TV competition NO.MERCY, followed it with their recent mini-album, One Of A Kind, which dropped in June 2021. The band, composed of leader Shownu, vocalist/dancers Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, and rappers Jooheon and I.M., hits with a unique combination of hip-hop, EDM and pop, which is brought to new levels on their lead single “One Day.” Monsta X was the second male K-pop group to chart in the U.S. Top 40, after BTS, and the third to break into the Top 10 on the Billboard 200. They’ve received several nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards, as well as for a Teen Choice Award. Monsta X’s unique vision and uplifting message resonates around the world. They’ve collaborated with artists like French Montana, Steve Aoki and Sebastián Yatr, and performed at festivals like iHeart Radio Music Festival, Jingle Ball and Life Is Beautiful. With “One Day”, Monsta X showcases their deft ability to fuse together a variety of genres and styles, and to sing compelling songs with an emotional core.
