All 6 Members Together: MONSTA X Completes Seoul Concert Before I.M’s Enlistment & Announces World Tour
MONSTA X (Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Joohoney, and I.M) has officially signaled the start of a powerful new era. The group successfully wrapped up their 3-day Seoul concert, proving their unrivaled synergy as a complete six-member group before an upcoming military hiatus.
From January 30 to February 1, MONSTA X held the ‘2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR [THE X : NEXUS]’ at the KSPO DOME in Seoul. This tour carries immense weight as it is their first world tour in four years since 2022. It also served as a poignant reunion at the KSPO DOME, just six months after their last fan concert, and more importantly, the final full-group performance before I.M’s enlistment on February 9.
A Masterclass in “Trustworthy Performance”
Opening the show with their legendary hit “DRAMARAMA,” MONSTA X immediately set the stage on fire. They followed up with a medley of their “core” identity tracks, including “Love Killa” and “Rush Hour.” The energy didn’t stop there, as they transitioned into high-octane performances of “LONE RANGER” and “Catch Me Now,” leaving the audience breathless.
The atmosphere shifted with the smooth vibes of “MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,” followed by deeper narratives in tracks like “Deny,” “AND,” and “Tuscan Leather.” These stages highlighted the members’ musical maturity and the intricate story they’ve built over the past decade.

- Minhyuk: Added a layer of raw emotion by playing the guitar live for his solo track “Reaching.”
- I.M: Electrified the dome with an intense DJ set and performance of “ERROR 404.”
- Joohoney: Dominated with his signature rap in “STING” (Feat. Muhammad Ali) and “Touching the Sky” (Feat. Tiger JK), proving his world-class production skills.
The Grand Finale and New Beginnings
The heat returned for the final act as the group blasted through “Autobahn,” “Beautiful Liar,” “Alligator,” and “Shoot Out.” To the fans’ surprise, a teaser video was revealed at the end, announcing their new single “growing pains,” set to drop on February 6.
“This concert was entirely focused on what Monbebe would love,” the group shared through Starship Entertainment. “It was especially emotional as our last stage with I.M before his service. We are happy we could finish this chapter with so much love. MONSTA X will keep running through 2026!”
Next Stop: The Global Stage
Following the Seoul success, MONSTA X members will embark on an Arena Tour in Japan, hitting Chiba’s LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY in April and Osaka’s Ookini Arena Maishima in May. The tour is set to expand globally to Asia and South America, ensuring that the ‘NEXUS’ heat reaches every corner of the world.
