MONSTA X also performed songs from their mini album ‘THE X,’ released last September, including ‘Do What I Want’and ‘N the Front,’ as well as Jooheon’s self composed track ‘Tuscan Leather,’ delivering these songs to Thai fans for the first time.

The concert also featured individual solo stages. Shownu captivated the audience with ‘Around & Go,’ while Kihyun impressed with his powerful vocals in ‘Howling.’ Hyungwon delivered a graceful performance of ‘NO AIR,’ and Minhyukmoved fans with ‘Reaching,’ which included live guitar playing. Jooheon closed the solo segment with intense performances of ‘STING (Feat. Muhammad Ali)’ and ‘Until My Head Reaches the Sky (Feat. Tiger JK).’

The excitement continued with a medley of major hits including ‘Autobahn,’ ‘Beautiful Liar,’ ‘Alligator,’ and ‘Shoot Out.’The members also moved closer to the audience, interacting with fans before closing the night with ‘Fire & Ice.’

Fans in Thailand prepared a surprise event for the group, presenting a slogan reading “Not just the 11th anniversary, we will be together for the 100th,” along with a special VCR message that deeply moved the members.

Through their agency Starship Entertainment, MONSTA X shared their thoughts after the show, saying they were grateful to feel the same passionate energy from Thai fans after seven years and were touched by the fan event prepared by MONBEBE.

Following the Bangkok concert, MONSTA X will continue the Asia tour of “THE X : NEXUS” with their next stop scheduled in Malaysia on March 28.
