2026년 4월 17일
몬스타엑스 revisited NBC's The Kelly Clarkson Show after six years, once again capturing the attention of global fans. In the broadcast on April 15 local time, they performed the title track heal live to promote their U.S. full-length third album Unfold. The stage, with restrained black-toned outfits, created a calm yet sophisticated atmosphere, and the members' vocals deepened the emotional arc, reportedly drawing the audience into the performance. Through a delicate, continuous performance, 몬스타엑스 perfectly delivered a resolute sound distinct from the energy they have shown before, immediately seizing the attention of local viewers. According to reports, they previously appeared on the program in 2020 as the first K-pop artists to perform on the show, where they showcased stable vocal ability and stage manner with the title song You Can’t Hold My Heart from their U.S. debut full-length album All About LUV. On this six-year return, 몬스타엑스 reaffirmed their teamwork and stage presence as global artists. Unfold, released April 3, presents a journey of confronting emotional fractures and choosing healing and growth across 10 tracks spanning R&B, pop, hip-hop, and alternative pop. The title track heal pairs a heavy gospel-style bass with orchestral strings to more delicately convey a message of love and recovery. According to reports, this album led to the group becoming the first K-pop artist to hold three U.S. full-length albums, and each of their U.S. full-length releases has consecutively entered the Billboard 200. They also appeared at number 2 on the Top Album Sales chart, number 9 on the Independent Albums chart, and number 37 on the Billboard Artist 100, demonstrating a strong presence across various Billboard charts. Meanwhile, following this broadcast, 몬스타엑스 will continue their global activities with a world tour performance THE X: NEXUS in Jakarta, Indonesia on April 18, a concert that has received strong responses from both local and international fans.
