MONSTA X (Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Joohoney, and I.M) is celebrating their 11th debut anniversary by connecting with fans all around the world!
On May 14, MONSTA X released a special 11th-anniversary celebratory image via the global fan platform Berriz. The image features a handwritten letter to Monbebe (their official fan club), thanking them for their unwavering love and support over the past 11 years.
The celebration continues today at 7 PM with an “11th Anniversary Live with MONSTA X” on their official YouTube channel. They also plan to make the day even more meaningful by releasing various exclusive content for Monbebe across their official SNS and Berriz.
Since debuting on May 14, 2015, with their first mini album ‘TRESPASS’, MONSTA X has run tirelessly for 11 years to establish a truly unique presence. Through constant musical challenges, they have proven that they are still evolving, with teamwork and a distinct color that only grow stronger over time.
With the album ‘THE X’ released last September, MONSTA X once again proved their limitless potential by showcasing an expanded musical spectrum and challenging concepts. The album, which blended their signature intense energy with a trendy vibe, received high praise from both fans and listeners.
Even in their 11th year, MONSTA X’s stages are hotter than ever! The “2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR ‘THE X : NEXUS'”, which kicked off spectacularly at Seoul’s KSPO DOME earlier this year, is currently sailing through Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Jakarta, and now Japan. This tour is showing the peak of their performance skills with a legendary setlist that summarizes their 11-year journey, including solo stages and boundary-pushing performances. Global fans are reaching peak excitement as the tour heads to South America in June and 10 cities in North America in October.
Additionally, with the release of their third US full-length album ‘Unfold’ in April, MONSTA X became the first K-pop artist to have three full-length albums in the US. They also made it onto the ‘Billboard 200’, marking a record where all their US full-length albums have entered the chart. They also appeared on the ‘Top Album Sales’, ‘Independent Albums’, and ‘Billboard Artist 100’ charts.
The members are also staying busy expanding their individual musical capabilities. Following Joohoney, who proved his unique energy with his second mini album ‘光 (INSANITY)’ in January, the group’s only unit, Shownu X Hyungwon, is set to return on the 21st with deeper emotions and diverse music. Meanwhile, I.M is currently serving as an active-duty soldier in the army and is scheduled to be discharged on August 8, 2027.
Through their agency Starship Entertainment, MONSTA X shared, “Thanks to Monbebe, who have supported us, enjoyed our activities, and loved us for a long time over 11 years, we were able to come this far as ‘MONSTA X’. Every moment spent with Monbebe is precious and we are so grateful. To repay the love you give us, we will do our best to continue being Monbebe’s pride through our own music and performances. Let’s stay together in the future, we love you Monbebe!”
