'We're already preparing for our comeback. We already finished recording a long time ago. I can't tell you the exact time frame, but within the company, the date has already been set. A significant portion [of the comeback] has already been prepared.' Eager to keep fans on their toes, Joohoney (주헌) cheerfully revealed that MONSTA X's new album will drop in September 2025. 'I'll just tell you the month when our new album will be released,' he stated. 'It's coming out in September. It'll be released as quickly as possible.' His hint immediately sparked excitement among MONBEBEs eager for new music. Soon after the revelation, Starship Entertainment shared the album's first concept photos on the group's official social media.
