"Monsta X is set to make a comeback to the local music scene with a new album in October," the agency Starship Entertainment said on Sept. 27. "I hope you'll look forward to and pay attention to it as we'll be back with new music and performances."

This marks the first time in about eight months that Monsta X will visit local K-pop fans since its second full-length album "WE ARE HERE" and the title track "Alligator" released in February.

Previously, Monsta X has been enjoying stellar growth as a mainstream group based on its colorful global activities.

With this year's album "WE ARE HERE," the album has dominated all domestic and foreign music charts. The album topped the "Worldwide iTunes Albums Chart," topped album charts in 24 regions around the world, topped the iTunes Top K-pop Song Charts eight regions, and topped the Hanteo Chart's monthly album chart and four music shows, showing off the potential of its global moves. It also captivated global fans with its 2019 world tour of the same name, staging 23 performances in 20 cities around the world, including Asia and Europe, North and South America and Oceania. In particular, the L.A. performance, which was held at Staples Center, the last U.S. tour site and the region's largest concert hall, drew much attention by introducing live broadcasts worldwide on Naver V Live Plus Channel.

In addition, it has stepped up its global moves with more active overseas activities, including collaboration with overseas artists, the release of English singles and attending various TV programs and festivals.

With popular U.S. hip-hop musician French Montana, "WHO DO U LOVE?" ranked 27th on the Billboard Pop Songs chart, the most popular music media in the U.S. and Canada, and also showed signs of ranking 37th on the chart program "American TOP 40," which choose popular songs from all over the U.S. and Canada. In particular, in both charts, Monsta X became the second K-pop group to enter the market, proving its extraordinary popularity.

In addition, the recently released single "LOVE U" has drawn huge attention from music fans, including a remix version of "WHO DO U LOVE?" remixed by the new song "LOVE U" and music producer and member of global hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas

During the tour, it also appeared on American ABC channel Jimmy Kimmel Live, Good Morning America and Britain's ITV channel Good Morning Britain, and recently appeared on NBC's "Ellen Degeneres Show," "Teen Choice Awards," "IHeartRADIO Music Festival" and "Life Is Beautiful Festival" to show off a series of performances.

Monsta X, which has received worldwide fans' attention through such diverse global activities, plans to make a comeback to the music scene with a new album featuring more colorful charms and performances in late October, which will appeal to local fans. Monsta X's musical growth, which is repeated for each album, is drawing keen attention.
