K-pop boy group MONSTA X marks their impressive 11th debut anniversary.
MONSTA X, consisting of members Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Joohoney, and I.M, celebrated their 11th debut anniversary by releasing a special commemorative image on May 14th at midnight via the global fan platform Berriz. This heartfelt tribute featured handwritten letters from the members to their dedicated fandom, Monbebe, expressing gratitude for 11 years of unwavering love and support.
Furthermore, MONSTA X is scheduled to host an ’11th Anniversary Live with MONSTA X’ broadcast on their official YouTube channel starting at 7 PM on May 14th. Since their debut on May 14, 2015, with the first mini-album ‘TRESPASS,’ MONSTA X has relentlessly built an undeniable presence in the K-pop industry over the past 11 years. Their journey is marked by continuous musical innovation and impactful performances, demonstrating an evolving and robust teamwork that proves they are still very much ‘currently ongoing’.
Even after 11 years, MONSTA X’s stage presence remains electrifying. Their ‘2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR ‘THE X : NEXUS” triumphantly began at Seoul’s KSPO DOME earlier this year and is now successfully navigating through Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, and Jakarta, before heading to Japan. This particular tour is lauded for its ‘trustworthy performances,’ featuring an unparalleled setlist that chronicles their 11-year saga, alongside captivating solo stages and limitless performances from each member. With highly anticipated legs in South America in June and a 10-city North American tour in October, global fan excitement for MONSTA X is soaring.
In a significant achievement, MONSTA X’s third US studio album, ‘Unfold,’ released in April, not only made them the first K-pop artist to have three US studio albums but also marked a historic entry onto the ‘Billboard 200’ chart, meaning all their US studio albums have successfully charted there. Their global popularity was further solidified with appearances on the ‘Top Album Sales,’ ‘Independent Albums,’ and ‘Billboard Artist 100’ charts.
Through their agency, Starship Entertainment, MONSTA X expressed their heartfelt gratitude: “Thanks to Monbebe, who have supported us, enjoyed our journey, and loved us for these 11 long years, we were able to reach this point as MONSTA X. Every single moment shared with Monbebe is truly precious and deeply appreciated. To reciprocate your immense love, we promise to continue delivering MONSTA X’s distinctive music and powerful stages, striving to always be Monbebe’s pride. Let’s continue this journey together, we love you, Monbebe!”
