Monsta X’s Shownu and Minhyuk share ‘baby blue’ concept photos

Monsta X previewed the atmosphere of their new music by releasing individual concept photos.

According to Starship Entertainment on Nov. 9, 2025 KST, the group shared solo images of Shownu and Minhyuk for the U.S. digital single ‘baby blue’ via Monsta X’s official social channels. In the photos, Shownu holds a steady gaze that suggests quiet reflection, while Minhyuk hints at longing with a distant, hollow look, pointing to the track’s wistful tone.

Set for release on Nov. 14, 2025 KST, ‘baby blue’ marks Monsta X’s first official U.S. single in about four years, following their second U.S. studio album ‘THE DREAMING’ in December 2021. With ‘THE DREAMING’, the group entered the Billboard 200 for two consecutive weeks, and they aim to offer a different side with the new track.

The rollout schedule continues with solo concept photos for Kihyun and Hyungwon on Nov. 10, 2025 KST, followed by Joohoney and I.M on Nov. 11, 2025 KST. A group concept photo will arrive on Nov. 12, 2025 KST, and a music video teaser will drop on Nov. 13, 2025 KST.

In December, Monsta X will appear at the '2025 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour' in the United States. As they prepare for that stage, global attention is turning to ‘baby blue’.

The U.S. digital single ‘baby blue’ will be available worldwide by region at 12:00 a.m. local time on Nov. 14, 2025 KST. The music video will be released the same day at 2:00 p.m. KST and 12:00 a.m. ET.
