“We thought about how much difficult time and how much effort the athletes must have put in to compete in the ring,” MONSTA X shared. “With that mindset, we will continue to work hard to show you many good sides in the future.” They also shared the unique and special experience of performing in a combat sports arena, noting specific characteristics such as the elasticity of the arena floor.
