Monsta X is Holding Our Hearts
Just last year, Monsta X finally reached the global stage with their chart topping track, ‘Who Do You Love’ featuring French Montana. Since then, the boys have been on a winning streak. They went on to release their debut All-English album titled, ‘All About Luv’ which witnessed yet another chart-dominator – ‘You Can’t Hold My Heart’. Unlike their previous sultry number, this one’s took things down a notch, but once again swept the world of its feet with their catchy melodies. Not long after the release of this track, the boys even went on to perform it live on the Kelly Clarkson Show, making them the first Kpop act to do so. And now, without leaving us with a minute to breathe, they’re already out with ‘Fantasia’ – the 7-track mini album. So, on that note, we thought we’d look back on some of their finest album photoshoots.

1. Here’s the latest photoshoot for their album, ‘Fantasia X’. They look like they’ve just descended from heaven here, donning hues of white and cream. If you still haven’t watched the music video for their title track, well chop chop, you better get to it!
2. The shoot for their All-English album, ‘All About Luv’ saw the boys in casual wear under bright, neon lights. This album dropped bang on Valentine’s Day and boasted of special appearances from Will.i.am, Steve Aoki, Pitbull and French Montana.
3. We couldn’t keep this one from you, this was right before ‘All About Luv’ dropped and boy, do they look dapper in those embroidered suits. We can’t stop staring.
4. Nearing the end of 2019, the boys dropped their album, ‘Follow: Find You’. For this photoshoot we see them donning silk robes and fancy trousers. The cherry on top of the cake is, quite literally, their vibrant hairdos. It’s an interesting contrast with the run-down, paint-chipped room they’re lazing in.
5. Their album, ‘Who Do You Love’ skyrocketed them to fame. Just as the photoshoot shows us a more mature, seductive side to them, so did this album.
6. On February 18th, 2019, the boys dropped their LP, ‘Take.2 We Are Here’. There’s something rather dreamy about this photoshoot. From their cozy sweaters to the flowers spilling inside the room, it’s almost as if the boys have landed in a fairytale.
7. For their lead up to, ‘Take.2 We Are Here’, Monsta X put out ‘Take 1. Are You There?’ This photoshoot aims to create a setting of surreality. From the lonely beach to perhaps a door to another world, the concept is also reflected in their lead single ‘Shoot Out’.
8. Back in 2016, Monsta X released their album, ‘The Clan Pt. 2 Guilty’. As you might’ve noticed the boys have a fondness for linking storylines and concepts between albums and that’s why most of their projects arrive with sequels, sometimes even trilogies. This shoot creates the atmosphere of a dystopian world, where the boys are trapped.
9. We just had to show you one of their other photoshoots for the album, ‘The Clan Pt. 2 Guilty’. If there’s one band that looks absolutely phenomenal under neon lights, it’s Monsta X. They’re a little more bold here, as you might’ve noticed that their shirts are well, barely buttoned.
10. And finally, we thought we’d wrap things up with this photoshoot from the album, ‘The Code’. It witnessed one of the biggest tunes the band is known for, ‘Dramarama’. Between the casual clothes and vibrant trousers, the boys look so much younger here. We’re really trying to control the urge to coo.
