Concept Photos Tease a Powerful Comeback
On July 15, Starship Entertainment unveiled the exclusive concept images via MONSTA X’s official social media, getting fans hyped for the ‘2025 MONSTA X CONNECT X’ concert. The event will be held from July 18 to 20 at KSPO DOME (formerly the Olympic Gymnastics Arena) in Seoul.
The images showcase all six members dressed in sleek black suits, oozing charisma and intensity. Set against a maze-like background similar to the concert poster, the members pose with props like hats and flags featuring the words ‘CONNECT X,’ creating a dramatic and compelling mood.
Blending Shadows and Drama
The black-and-white shots where members’ silhouettes and shadows intertwine add a mysterious and artistic vibe, leaving fans eager to see how this concept will unfold on stage. The visuals hint at a performance packed with emotional depth and visual flair.
10 Years, One Stage
MONSTA X debuted in 2015 with their first EP ‘TRESPASS,’ and on May 14, 2025, they officially celebrated their 10th anniversary. To commemorate the occasion, they dropped a digital album titled ‘NOW PROJECT vol.1’ and held a free pop-up photo exhibit, ‘MONOLOGUE,’ to express gratitude to their fans.
This upcoming concert holds special meaning as it marks the group’s full-stage return after nearly four years. Reports suggest that the members are putting tremendous effort into preparing every detail, aiming to live up to their reputation as ‘믿듣퍼’—a Korean term meaning ‘trustworthy performers who you enjoy listening to and watching.’
A Performance Worth the Wait
With their distinctive style and solid 10-year legacy, expectations are high for the concert to deliver both nostalgia and innovation. MONSTA X is set to remind fans why they’ve remained a powerhouse in the K-pop world for a decade.
The concert will take place from July 18 to 20 at the KSPO DOME in Songpa-gu, Seoul.
