Who Are Monsta X?
If you are new to the world of k-pop, we understand how overwhelming the sheer amount of content can be. We have got you covered if you are not well acquainted with Monsta X. The group actually debuted in 2015 with their first extended play Trespass. Almost two years later, in 2017, they released their first full-length studio album and called it The Clan Pt. 2.5: The Final Chapter. Since then, they have received massive success not just in South Korea but also in Japan. Later, in 2020, they also broke through the marker in the United States when their first album entirely in English, All About Luv, ranked 5th on the US Billboard 200. The group’s discography is very diverse. It shows how talented and versatile the boys are as artists. Their songs are a blend of EDM, hip hop, and pop music. Often aggressive in their delivery, the younger generation relates very well to the desperation with which the boys sing. Their beautiful vocals and raw rap verses with electronic music have made them one of the most prominent idol boy bands in fourth-generation k-pop. Read on more to find out about their latest album.
