Monsta X are officially taking over!

With catchy tracks like “Shine Forever,” “Dramarama” and “Jealousy,” the superstar K-Pop boy band – made up of members Shownu, Wonho, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Jooheon and I.M – have already amassed a huge following all across the world. (Their fanbase is called Monbebe!)

As a result, the group is heading out on their second U.S. tour, which kicks off on July 20 in Chicago and makes its way throughout the United States, wrapping up on August 3 in Los Angeles.
