MONSTA X attended 'KCON LA 2025' held from the 1st to the 3rd (local time) at the Crypto.com Arena and LA Convention Center in Los Angeles, USA, and took the stage at 'M COUNTDOWN' on the 2nd.
They presented a stage that reflects a decade of experience, as well as a 'DREAM STAGE' that united their global fandom, proving the 'Trustworthy and Listen to Them' moniker.

They presented 'Love Me A Little,' creating an elegant atmosphere combined with powerful choreography that drew cheers from the audience right from the start, and their dynamic dance lines filled the stage, completing a perfect opening performance for the festival.
Following Shownu and Hyungwon's opening, the performance continued, with MONSTA X also closing the show. Appearing amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, MONSTA X showcased stunning visuals in matching suits and opened a grand stage with 'Beautiful Liar,' eliciting explosive cheers. They then performed 'WHO DO U LOVE?' and the English version of 'Play it Cool,' overwhelming the audience with their excellent teamwork, seasoned expressions, and impressive stage manners.
The atmosphere heated up even more, culminating in the 'DREAM STAGE.' MONSTA X presented a powerful and passionate 'GAMBLER' alongside global fans who joined them on stage through pre-registration, completing a 'DREAM STAGE' performance that unified the global fandom present.
After the performance, praise for MONSTA X's stage continued. The American economic magazine Forbes highlighted the excitement in the venue before they took the stage and the heated cheers from the global fandom throughout the performance, announcing MONSTA X's strong return.
Through 'KCON LA 2025,' MONSTA X proved their formidable global power. Notably, following their debut first U.S. stage at 'KCON 2015 USA' and expanding their stage to 'KCON 2016 LA,' they celebrated their 10th debut anniversary nine years later, marking the opening and closing of 'KCON LA 2025' and proving the passage of a decade.
MONSTA X expressed through their agency Starship Entertainment, "We were excited to greet everyone at 'KCON LA' after a long time, and we had a lot of thoughts about what kind of stage to show. We were overwhelmed and happy to be welcomed with such warm cheers. In particular, the stage we created with MONBEBE (official fan club name) will be unforgettable for a long time. I want to thank all the MONBEBE who supported us on-site and through broadcasts. I feel like we gained a great motivation through this stage. We will work hard on our comeback preparations and repay you with good music and performances, so please look forward to it."
Meanwhile, MONSTA X will release their mini-album 'THE X' on September 1 and begin full-fledged comeback activities.
