Their latest EP, “REASON,” released in January, 2023, saw all six songs reach the top ten on the Billboard charts as well. The award-winning group has performed in several festivals and international concerts across Europe, Asia, South & North America; with Las Vegas earlier this year.

As well as being the only band from Korea to release two albums entirely in English, their hit songs, “WHO DO U LOVE?”, “One Day” and "YOU CAN'T HOLD MY HEART” made MONSTA X the only K-pop band besides BTS to have three or more Top 40 U.S. pop singles. This performance also marks a comeback with group leader, SHOWNU, fresh from his stint in the Korean military and will showcase MONSTA X members as a duo with members SHOWNU and HYUNGWON.

Debuting on December 1st, 2021, IVE has become the face of 4th generation K-Pop girl groups. Their debut single “Eleven” has amassed 193 million music video views and 234 million streams on Spotify.

Including ‘I’ve I'VE’, all of the group's single albums — "Eleven," "Love Dive," and "After Like" — have hit No. 1 on the Circle Album Chart. IVE’s success extends into other industries including fashion, editorial, variety shows, emceeing, and more.

AB6IX debuted in 2019 under Brand New Music, consisting of members Woong, Donghyun, Woojin, and Daehwi. The group made a strong debut with their first EP titled "B:Complete" in 2019, which topped various music charts in South Korea, with lead single, "Breathe," garnering 22 million views.

Their "B:Complete" album sold over 200,000 copies leading them to win "Rookie of the Year", "Best Icon Award" and "Next Generation Artist Award" in 2019.
