RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Jakarta’s MONBEBE welcomed MONSTA X with overwhelming enthusiasm as the group brought their long-awaited world tour to Indonesia on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Kasablanka Hall.

The “2026 MONSTA X World Tour [THE X: NEXUS] in Jakarta” ended on a heartfelt note, with the five performing members promising to return for an even bigger show in the future.

From the explosive opening numbers to the emotional encore, the nearly three-hour concert was a celebration of music and connection. The crowd’s energy filled the venue from the very start, ignited by powerful performances of DRAMARAMA, Love Killa, Rush Hour, LONE RANGER, and Catch Me Now.

The members greeted fans warmly in Indonesian. Shownu welcomed the audience, Kihyun expressed how much he missed them, and Joohoney playfully called out My dear, sparking cheers.

The setlist continued with songs such as Middle of the Night, Deny, Beautiful, and Nobody Else, alongside solo stages that showcased each member’s artistry. A special video of I.M performing Error 404 added an emotional touch, ensuring his presence was felt despite his absence.

Later in the show, MONSTA X kept the energy high with Autobahn, Beautiful Liar, and Shout Out, before stepping off stage to interact closely with fans during Oh My! The encore featured Rodeo, ZONE, and Spotlight, with Joohoney joking, “Thank you, because of all of you I am very happy. I don’t want to go home.”

As the concert drew to a close, the members expressed joy and hope to return to Jakarta on a larger scale.

Joohoney reaffirmed his commitment to keep bringing powerful performances. “We don’t yet know what songs we’ll perform next, but we’ll definitely bring great music and incredible energy for MONBEBE,” he assured.

Minhyuk admitted that the fans themselves fueled the group’s energy. “From soundcheck onward, it should have been us giving energy, but instead MONBEBE gave us so much today,” he said

Hyungwon lightened the mood with playful affection, asking fans if they were happy and joking that their agency should be scolded for only now adding Jakarta to the tour map. “If MONBEBE Indonesia calls us, we have to come back. We’ll keep trying to return again and again,” he said.

Shownu apologized for the long wait, promising to return, while Hyungwon acknowledged the decade-long anticipation. “I hope today’s performance repays at least a little of the 10 years you’ve waited, dear MONBEBE.”

Kihyun also reminded fans of their promise to return together, including with I.M once his military service ends. The concert, promoted by Lit Xperience, featured Shownu, Minhyuk, Hyungwon, Kihyun, and Joohoney, with I.M joining virtually.

The concert closed with “Stand Up” and “Fire and Ice,” leaving fans moved by a touching fan project and Hyungwon asking fans to promise to bring more friends next time, an invitation met with resounding cheers.

The evening ended not only with music but with anticipation, as MONSTA X pledged to return to Indonesia, this time with all six members and an even bigger stage. (Diffa Sephiawardhani/Sri Wahyuni)
