Monsta X are simply having a wonderful (and busy) Christmas time.
Fresh from casually performing for Lily Rose Depp and The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus at a Chanel party, the K-pop superstars put on one hell of a show at the Q 102 Jingle Ball in Philadelphia.
Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Jooheon and I.M. took to the stage at the Wells Fargo Center to perform a string of their hits, paired with their trademark choreography.
The boys performed Who Do You Love?, Middle of the Night, Someone’s Someone, Play It Cool and Follow for the packed out crowd.
The performance marked the return of Jooheon, who missed a number of appearances after falling ill.
Starship Entertainment confirmed: ‘MONSTA X’s Jooheon has received clearance from the doctor that he is able to participate in schedules, after recovering his health through plenty of rest and recuperation.
‘Jooheon himself wished very much to join his fellow members on stage in order to keep his promise with fans, so after some discussion, we have decided that Jooheon will join MONSTA X beginning with their Jingle Ball stop in Philadelphia.
‘We promise that while MONSTA X continue their upcoming schedules, we will regularly check not only Jooheon’s but also the other members’ health, and take care of our artists’ conditions.’
While he joined his bandmates on stage, Joohoney skipped the red carpet, with the rest of the band slaying in an assortment of tailored blazers.
There’s no rest for the wicked, as today, Monsta X will be heading to New York City to appear on Live With Kelly and Ryan, with Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest, today.
This TV appearance will be followed by their second Jingle Ball show in the Big Apple.
This US mini tour comes ahead of their new album All About Luv, which will be entirely in English.
Monsta X said of the record: ‘We are super excited about our new English album! It’s a Valentine gift to all of our Monbebe who are standing by our side day and night.
‘This album talks about relationships, and things that we are all dealing with on a daily basis. We hope that our Monbebe all over the world will like it, and spread the word, after all, it’s all about luv.’
In October this year the Shoot Out singers returned with their latest Korean album Follow: Find You.
It was a comeback unfortunately marred by controversy, as member Wonho quit the group amid rumours that he owed money to Jung Da Eun.
