LOS ANGELES — Hold onto your lightsticks, Monbebes! MONSTA X just delivered the performance of a LIFETIME at KCON LA 2025, and we’re still picking our jaws up off the floor!
The boys rolled up to Crypto.com Arena on August 2nd looking absolutely JACKED and ready to remind everyone why they’re third-generation K-pop ROYALTY. After what felt like an eternity of military service separations, Shownu, Hyungwon, Minhyuk, Kihyun, and Joohoney finally reunited on stage — and honey, the ENERGY was absolutely UNMATCHED!
THE SETLIST WAS STRAIGHT FIRE! They opened with “BEASTMODE” and had the entire arena SCREAMING. Then came the nostalgia hits — “Jealousy” and “Trespass” — proving these guys haven’t missed a single beat during their time apart. The choreography? CRISP. The vocals? FLAWLESS. The abs? Well, let’s just say some things never change!
BUT HERE’S WHERE IT GETS EMOTIONAL… The “Dream Stage” segment had fans literally SOBBING as the members got all sentimental about their 10-year journey. Shownu was getting choked up talking about how KCON LA was where their global dreams started, and honestly, we weren’t ready for these FEELS!
THE ONLY BUMMER? I.M couldn’t make it due to health reasons, but his bandmates made sure to send him love from the stage. The four-member formation still absolutely DEMOLISHED every single song, proving that MONSTA X’s bond is unbreakable!
KCON 2025 WAS STACKED! NCT 127, aespa, and Jackson Wang also brought the heat, but let’s be real — MONSTA X’s decade celebration was the moment everyone’s going to remember. These legends basically turned Crypto.com Arena into their personal reunion party, and we were ALL invited!
WHAT’S NEXT? With the military chapter officially CLOSED and the group back together, Monbebes are already speculating about a world tour announcement. One thing’s for sure — after this ICONIC KCON performance, the demand is going to be INSANE!
BOTTOM LINE: MONSTA X just proved that 10 years in the game means they’re not going anywhere. Welcome back, kings! 👑
Sources report the group’s emotional backstage moments had staff reaching for tissues, and fan chants could be heard from blocks away. Classic MONSTA X behavior, honestly!
