[OSENWORLD] MONSTA X has returned to Japan for the first time in six years, kicking off two sold-out shows in Yokohama.
According to their agency Starship Entertainment, the group — Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Joohoney, and I.M — will hold their solo concert 2025 MONSTA X CONNECT X on August 27–28 at Pia Arena MM in Yokohama.
The return to Japan follows their Seoul concerts of the same name, held July 18–20 at KSPO Dome, where the group showcased a decade of experience and unwavering teamwork, reaffirming their commanding stage presence. Riding that momentum, MONSTA X is now set to deliver another explosive performance for their Japanese fans.
This marks MONSTA X’s first concert in Japan since their 2019 world tour WE ARE HERE. For local MONBEBE, the group’s official fanbase, the long-awaited return is expected to be an emotional one — a celebration of their 10-year journey and a promise of what lies ahead.
The members have prepared a diverse setlist and performances imbued with the narrative of their decade together, offering fans a powerful reminder of MONSTA X’s unique energy and ever-deepening musical identity.
Earlier this month, MONSTA X pre-released Do What I Want, a track from their upcoming mini album The X, which drops September 1 alongside the title track N the Front. Their Yokohama shows are expected to amplify the excitement ahead of their official comeback.
With two nights at Pia Arena MM, a new album on the way, and the milestone of their 10th anniversary, MONSTA X reaffirms why they remain one of K-pop’s most dynamic and enduring groups.
