Another Chapter Begins for I.M
After three years of charting his own path in the music industry, MONSTA X member I.M is officially wrapping up his exclusive contract with Sony Music Korea. The news dropped on May 15, with the label announcing the decision was made “after careful consultation” and on mutual terms.
Creative Chemistry Comes to a Close
Back in 2022, I.M signed exclusively with Sony Music Korea to pursue solo activities outside of MONSTA X. Over three years, he carved out a space for his unique sound—marked by moody pop, R&B vibes, and lyrical introspection.
In their statement, the label noted, “I.M has built a strong and original musical identity with us. We’re grateful for the sincerity he’s shown through his music and will continue cheering for him with affection.”
What’s Next for I.M?
It’s unclear where I.M is headed next, but if his recent work is any clue, fans can expect more emotionally-rich tracks and genre-pushing beats. Given his growing artistry and loyal fanbase, the world’s his stage now.
Meanwhile, MONSTA X Keeps Moving
As a group, MONSTA X is still very much in the game. Celebrating their 10th anniversary this year, they dropped a new mini-album “THE X” on June 1—proof the group remains fired up and ready to go.
Final Thoughts
I.M’s time with Sony Music Korea may be over, but it’s clear he’s gearing up for bolder moves. Whether it’s an indie route or a new label partnership, fans are already buzzing about his next era. One thing’s for sure: I.M is just getting started.
