Group MONSTA X topped a music show for the first time since their comeback with their new song 'MAGIC,' proving their enduring strength in their 12th year since debut.

■ Reaching the Top on 'Music Bank' for the Second Week of September

On the September 11 broadcast of KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank,' MONSTA X claimed first place for the second week of September with 'MAGIC,' the title track of their mini album 'The Phase.' On that day's stage, they delivered flawless vocals and dynamic choreography, once again proving themselves as a 'trustworthy performance' group.

Through their agency Starship Entertainment, MONSTA X shared their thoughts: 'This first place was achieved together with the members serving in the military, our fandom Monbebe, and all the staff. We will repay you with great music and performances going forward.'

■ 'The Phase' Sweeps the Upper Ranks of Global Charts

Upon its release, the new album 'The Phase' immediately made a strong impact on global charts. It entered the worldwide iTunes album chart at No. 6 and topped the K-pop album charts in 11 countries including the United States and the United Kingdom. It also received focused coverage from Forbes in the U.S.

■ World Tour and Music Show Activities to Continue

MONSTA X is currently on their 2026 world tour 'THE X : NEXUS,' with the North American tour resuming in October and an encore concert in Incheon scheduled for November.

Meanwhile, the group will continue their activities today (the 12th) with an appearance on MBC's 'Show! Music Core.'
