Showing Covid who the real boss is, Monsta X, the boy group from Starship Entertainment, is already thinking ahead and not letting the Coronavirus get in their way. On March 31, it was reported that four (Hyungwon, Kihyun, Minhyuk, and Changkyun [I.M]) out of the five members of Monsta X had tested positive for the virus with Jooheon being the only member to not fall ill. Due to this, their upcoming April comeback ‘Shape of Love’ had to be pushed back to prevent the spread of the virus. But much to fans’ relief, on the same day, it was announced that Monsta X members will hold a special fan concert aka fan-con at the end of April.

The boy group announced their upcoming three-day Seoul concert called ‘Monsta X 6th Official Fanclub Monbebe Fan-Concert’ that will be held online as well as in person at the end of April 2022 ahead of their US Tour. On one hand, Monbebes (fans of Monsta X) are sad that four active members of the group are currently under quarantine and will not be able to drop their highly anticipated April album ‘Shape of Love’ which was set to drop on April 11, on the other, fans are celebrating the upcoming special concert.
