The long wait is finally coming to an end for MONBEBEs around the world. MONSTA X, one of K-pop’s most dynamic and enduring groups, has officially confirmed that they are preparing for a full-group comeback set to take place in September 2025.
The announcement came during a special press conference on July 16, held just days ahead of their highly anticipated 10th-anniversary concert series titled “CONNECT X” at Seoul’s KSPO Dome.
The news immediately sent waves of excitement throughout the K-pop community, especially as it marks MONSTA X’s first full-group return in a long while—following periods of individual projects, military enlistments, and a brief hiatus as members focused on solo ventures.
Press Conference Highlights: Comeback Hints Turn Into Confirmation
During the press conference, the members were asked directly about the possibility of a new album. Member Kihyun responded with candor and enthusiasm:
“We’re already preparing for our comeback. We already finished recording a long time ago. I can’t tell you the exact time frame, but within the company, the date has already been set. A significant portion of the comeback has already been prepared.”
His statement confirmed that the new album is well beyond the conceptual stage, with recordings completed and internal preparations finalized—suggesting that the release is not only real but imminent.
Fellow member Joohoney added a playful yet decisive confirmation.
“I’ll just tell you the month when our new album will be released. It’s coming out in September. It’ll be released as quickly as possible in September.”
This simple reveal was more than enough to ignite a storm of anticipation among fans who have been patiently waiting for the group’s unified return.
A Full-Group Comeback: Why It Matters
A comeback involving all active members is particularly significant for MONSTA X, as the group has seen various transitions over the years.
Between military service, solo activities, and the exit of former member Wonho, the group has demonstrated remarkable resilience while continuing to evolve artistically and emotionally.
The upcoming release promises to bring back the full MONSTA X synergy that fans fell in love with—marked by fierce performances, genre-spanning music, and brotherly chemistry that shines both on and off stage.
It also signals a new chapter in their legacy as they approach the monumental milestone of 10 years in the industry, something few idol groups achieve while remaining relevant, united, and beloved globally.
“CONNECT X” 10th Anniversary Concert Series
Adding to the excitement is their special anniversary event, the “CONNECT X” concert, which will be held over three nights from July 18 to 20 at the KSPO Dome in Seoul.
This concert marks MONSTA X’s official celebration of a decade together, and expectations are high for both nostalgia and surprises.
While full details of the concert program remain under wraps, fans are anticipating an epic mix of classic hits, unreleased content, emotional retrospectives, and possibly a live teaser or performance of a new track from the upcoming album.
These concerts are expected to be emotional and symbolic, serving as both a thank-you to fans and a launchpad into the next era of MONSTA X’s career.
What We Know About the Album So Far
Though the group has not yet disclosed the album title, tracklist, or concept images, what we do know is promising.
With the recording phase completed and preparations far along, the album may drop early to mid-September, likely accompanied by a music video, concept teasers, and promotional performances on major music shows.
Given MONSTA X’s discography, which spans genres from hard-hitting EDM and hip-hop to emotive ballads and funk-pop, the album could present a wide range of musical styles.
Their recent work has leaned into introspection and maturity, and fans are eager to see whether this trend continues—or if they’ll bring back the intense, high-energy sound that defined earlier eras like “Shoot Out”, “Hero”, or “Love Killa.”

In the meantime, fans can relive MONSTA X’s journey through the documentary “When You Call My Name,” which is available on Viki with subtitles.
The film offers behind-the-scenes footage, personal stories, and an emotional look at their rise from rookies to one of K-pop’s most recognized names worldwide.
It’s a fitting prelude to their comeback, reminding audiences of the passion, hard work, and camaraderie that define MONSTA X as artists and individuals.
As MONSTA X prepares for their September return, the stakes couldn’t be higher—but neither could fan enthusiasm.
With the “CONNECT X” concerts kicking off this weekend and an album on the way, the group is poised to make one of the most impactful comebacks of 2025.
This moment isn’t just a release—it’s a reunion, a celebration, and a powerful reminder of MONSTA X’s enduring place in K-pop history.
