MONSTA X released its set of concept photos for its ninth mini-album, "One Of A Kind," giving off strong, mature masculine vibes with every shot.
A total of 24 photos were released across the Starship Entertainment group's social networking sites. In this set of concept photos, members were shown wearing a white shirt as a base of their mature and charming looks. Some outfits included shoulder holsters, coats, berets, and gloves giving off a detective/ secret agent vibes - a different, yet familiar approach to the group's reputation as a cool and mysterious group.

Starting off the second set of concept photos, Shownu and Minhyuk featured their visuals as their simple white shirt matched together with a black tie to complete their image. They look dashing with the addition of a harness running over their shoulders.
Kihyun, with a metal briefcase slung over his shoulder, makes sure to capture everyone's attention as he stares right into the camera, with his look completed by his neat outfit and hairdo.
Next is Hyungwon's fatal charms, dressed like a cleaner or a surgeon as seen in noir movies - black leather gloves, black high-cut boots, and what looks like a vest worn over his white shirts. In his shot, the singer, model, and DJ are featured sitting on a metal pipe, emphasizing his long legs and his slender figure.
Lastly, Jooheon and I.M. both sported a black beret for their concept photos, creating a distinct appeal for the MONSTA X rapper line. In his solo photo, Jooheon has his hands to the back of his head, giving off both a confident and an imposing aura. On the other hand, I.M sports a similar beret on top of a black shirt paired with a black half-top with belts on his arms. The maknae is shown holding to a metal railing as he looks into the distance.
MONSTA X is set to make its Korean return with "One Of A Kind," its ninth album that follows "Fatal Love" released seven months earlier. Through their second set of concept photos, the members - Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Joohoney, and I.M - have once again captivated their fans looking forward to what image and concept they will bring with their new release.
"One Of A Kind" is set to drop on various music sites on June 1, 6 PM KST.
