On April 28, the group's official Twitter account revealed a poster for their first world tour, announcing that the first show would be held in Seoul.[1] Their tour started on June 17 and June 18, at the Olympic Hall, located at Seoul Olympic Park. On May 18, the group's agency Starship Entertainment revealed that the tickets for the two Seoul concerts had been completely sold out, within a minute after going on sale, setting the record of "sold out tickets" for two consecutive years.[2]

On July 7, Monsta X’s fan cafe updated with a message from Starship Entertainment that first included an apology to fans for having to convey bad news ahead of the world tour. According to their agency, a small wound and swelling was discovered on Hyungwon's knee, and following an examination, was diagnosed with the early stages of cellulitis. The agency also added that Hyungwon would be focusing on rest and treatment so that he can recover quickly.[3]

The group was supposed to visit Indonesia for the tour, but their promoter SH Entertainment cancelled their performance due to "local circumstances".[4]

Monsta X finished their tour in North America on July 23 and 24 at The Novo in Los Angeles.

The group's agency also added that the six concerts in the five cities were completely sold out, including the belatedly added Monday concert in Los Angeles, while having Mexico on September 17 as the last stop for this tour. The group also had some interviews from well-known media platforms, such as Billboard and IHeartRadio.[5][6]
