MONSTA X is celebrating the 10th anniversary of their debut. 

The group first entered the music scene on May 14, 2015, with their first mini-album. True to their name, which means "monsters who will conquer the K-pop market," they immediately established a strong presence with powerful performances and distinctive musical color. 

In 2018, MONSTA X became the first K-pop group to join iHeartRadio's "Jingle Ball" tour, one of the largest year-end concert series in the United States. They participated in this tour for three consecutive years through 2019 and 2021, achieving an exceptional career as K-pop artists. Furthermore, their first American full-length album "ALL ABOUT LUV," released in 2020, debuted at No. 5 on Billboard's main album chart "Billboard 200." Their second English album, "THE DREAMING," remained on the "Billboard 200" for two consecutive weeks, proving their solid global standing. With Hyungwon completing his military service on May 13th, MONSTA X has concluded their years-long military hiatus and formed a complete group again. On May 14th, their 10th debut anniversary, they released "NOW Project vol.1," their first full-group album in about four years, and plan to host a special 10th anniversary live broadcast through their official YouTube channel at 7 PM. 

Regarding the 10-year milestone, Shownu shared, "I can't believe it's already been 10 years. We've come this far thanks to our members, MONBEBE (their fandom), and everyone who has supported us." Minhyuk stated, "I am who I am today thanks to my members who have been through thick and thin with me over this long period, and MONBEBE who have always supported us. I will work hard with the members to repay everyone with better performances in the future." Kihyun expressed, "Being able to perform under the name MONSTA X for 10 years is all thanks to MONBEBE. MONSTA X is just beginning." 

Hyungwon reflected, "The overwhelming emotions felt on stage, the numerous journeys with members, and especially the memories shared with MONBEBE who have been with us through every moment—these are precious memories I'll never forget. I hope to fill the future with even more memories and happiness." 

Joohoney remarked, "Ten years is not a short time in someone's life, and I'm very grateful that MONSTA X and myself have been a part of that time," while I.M added, "I sincerely thank MONBEBE for supporting us throughout this long 10-year journey, and I ask for your continued support."
