MONSTA X is preparing for a first-half comeback as a full group.

An official from MONSTA X's agency, Starship Entertainment, told this newspaper on the 25th:

"MONSTA X is working towards a first-half comeback with Jooheon's return to activities," they stated.

Jooheon had halted his activities in January due to psychological anxiety, but it is understood that he decided to rejoin the team and resume activities after his anxiety symptoms improved through continuous treatment, rest, and stability.

MONSTA X, who actively promoted with 'Alligator' and 'Follow' last year, recently released their first full album in the U.S., 'ALL ABOUT LUV', and is expanding their global reach, including ranking in the TOP 5 on the U.S. Billboard main album chart, 'Billboard 200'.

Based on these global achievements, attention is focused on what kind of presence MONSTA X will show in the domestic music industry this year.

Meanwhile, MONSTA X showed a warm gesture last month by donating 100 million won to the international slogan development NGO Good Neighbors to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and support victims.
