Taking the stage nearly a decade after their debut, MONSTA X showcased their enduring global appeal with a commanding rendition of 'Beautiful Liar -Japanese ver.-', a track from the Japanese special edition of their digital single 'Beautiful Liar, GAMBLER'. The broadcast marked the first time the group had performed the Japanese version of the song on air.

Each member delivered intense expressions and tightly rehearsed moves, exuding the charisma and cohesion of a group celebrating its 10th anniversary.
Despite their recent hiatus due to military service, MONSTA X displayed seamless teamwork and seasoned stage manners, drawing cheers from local fans and reinforcing their reputation as a top-tier performance group.

Their appearance on 'CDTV Live! Live!' not only delighted fans in Japan but also fueled anticipation for their upcoming anniversary concert, '2025 MONSTA X CONNECT X', set to take place on August 27 and 28 at the Pia Arena MM in Yokohama.
With their return to Japan’s music scene, MONSTA X is poised to further solidify their global influence and reconnect with their international fanbase.
