The special relationship between ELHAE and I.M, an alternative R&B genre artist who is from Atlanta and has excellent rap and vocal skills, was created by MONSTA X's fan club "MONBEBE," which drew attention by delivering the news of I.M, whose fans wished to collaborate with ELHAE on Naver V LIVE.

Beginning with this, the two showed a collaboration on "Horizon," the track of I.M's solo mix tape "HORIZON," released last year, and I.M. participated in ELHAE's new song as a feature, confirming their unusual friendship once again.

Moreover, through "Horizon," the collaboration of the two, who drew attention from music fans around the world by completing unique music with groovy yet intense rap and vocals, is drawing interest from global listeners. Expectations are high on what color the two will entertain the eyes and ears of music fans. 

I.M., who drew attention by participating in featuring, is active around the world as an "all-rounder artist." He released his mixtape "Fly With Me," "Scent" and single "Madeleen," as well as rap making for all of MONSTA X's albums, as well as his previous self-composed songs "Where Are You Doing," "U R," and his mini-album "FANTASIA X" released this time following "CHAMPAGNE" in Japan.
