Monsta X raised anticipation for their comeback by revealing concept photos for their new EP [The Phase] at 1 PM (KST) on September 4th. In the concept photos, Shownu created a powerful atmosphere by leaning one hand on an indoor table while wearing a black leather jacket and pants, staring directly ahead. Additionally, his sophisticated styling with a white shirt and tie, along with a natural pose holding a glass cup while seated, showcased a diverse charm. In an empty indoor space, sitting on the floor, he exuded a relaxed vibe, perfectly balancing Monsta X’s unique charisma and softness. The new album [The Phase], set to be released next month, signals a new musical direction for Monsta X, drawing significant attention from fans. The agency and members plan to present a more mature and refined sound and stage through this comeback. Meanwhile, Monsta X continues active promotions this year with various group performances. Recently, their attendance at the ’Asia Artist Awards 2026’ in the singer category was confirmed, raising expectations among fans both domestically and internationally.
