MONSTA X released their third studio album "Fatal Love" on Monday, Nov. 2, with the title track "Love Killa." It is backed by an electro-bass instrumental and a strong melody, which makes the vocal line of MONSTA X stand out. However, that does not mean that the rap line is any less. While Kihyun impresses with his powerful voice, I.M and Jooheon deliver some of the greatest rap lyrics of all time.
MONSTA X announced the start of their full-fledged promotional activities on Mnet's "M Countdown," which aired on Thursday, Nov. 5. The group also made a comeback performance for their 3rd regular album, "Fatal Love," for the first time. They performed a total of 2 songs, "BEASTMODE" and the title track "Love Killa." It is also worth noting that Jooheon wrote, composed, and produced the music and lyrics for "BEASTMODE."
The performance of "BEASTMODE" was especially touching since it carried a message of hope and passion for the people who have lost motivation and are tired of life. The song seems to convey the message of how to fight together to survive. Additionally, the powerful vocals of the group harmonized perfectly with the song's dynamic melody. The dancers flexed energetic dance move--no wonder it impossible for the audience to take their eyes off them.
Before the stage performance, a VCR video recording featured the group's fans known as MONBEBES. The extraordinary love of MONBEBES for MONSTA X was overflowing.
On top of their excellent and mind-blowing performance, MONSTA X also flaunted a hip-hop-inspired fashion style. The members were dressed in red suits that matched with the laser lighting of the stage. Their performance was filled with unrivaled sexiness and fatal visuals, together with the bursting hot energy from the fans' cheers.
Meanwhile, during the group's comeback show held through Naver V Live, MONSTA X communicated with 770,000 global viewers and achieved 1.55 billion "hearts," proving their worldwide popularity. The K-pop group will also appear on KBS 2TV "Music Bank" on Dec. 6, after "M Countdown" and MBC "Show! Music Core." They'll also be on SBS "Inkigayo" on Dec. 8.
Currently, MONSTA X is actively promoting their title song "Love Killa." MONSTA X is a South Korean boy group formed through the reality survival program "No Mercy" by Starship Entertainment. As of November 2019, the group is composed of six members: Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Joohoney, and I.M.
