MONSTA X 12th Mini Album 〈REASON〉 - MONSTA X's reason for existence, proof of an undeniable relationship 'Beautiful Liar'
There are reasons big and small for humans to establish relationships and continue them. In the process, the reason for each other's existence becomes each other, and from the moment many reasons are accumulated, the relationship is maintained even if the reason no longer exists. It is a proof of a relationship that does not require a reason.
MONSTA X releases the 12th mini album 'REASON'. It is a story about their 'reason' that has built up their presence through perfect teamwork. If the previous work 'SHAPE of LOVE' conveyed various feelings of love, this time, it seeks to find a clear reason for existence in various relationships and discover the meaning of each other. It will clearly prove the existence of MONSTA X, which is becoming more distinct by revealing a unique color.
'REASON' is the process of reflecting on the present of MONSTA X, which has been observed for 8 years. I want to discover the reason for all the feelings of success and trials, efforts to face fear, and comfort in the fierce time, and furthermore, to find the value in the relationship with the fans. It is a message that a firm belief that you don't have to look for reasons in countless relationships will eventually mean more to each other.
The title song 'Beautiful Liar' sings the reason for love found in the most extreme and dangerous relationship. It is a rhythmical and powerful punk rock style song, with an addictive beat and Monsta X's vocal performance, providing a strong sense of immersion. In particular, the dangerous message that is developed while maintaining tension conveys a dramatic appreciation with intense electronic guitar sounds and beats. The theme of 'a precarious feeling that can't be denied, a love that can't be let go even while continuing a dangerous relationship' is combined with the passion of the members to create a highlight.
MONSTA X has been building its own territory with powerful group dance and music for 8 years. Through this 'REASON', MONSTA X once again reveals not only musical solidity, but also MONSTA X's unique style in an official way. Invariably, the leading participation of the members has added depth to their own colors, and attention is also focused on the members' capabilities, which are the development of the members. If the title song 'Beautiful Liar' proved a masculine and tough image, 'Daydream' highlights the soft and alluring side of MONSTA X.
In addition, thanks to the members' production and securing the initiative, the album presents a more colorful variation of genres. Produced by member Jooheon with his long-time partner Ye-Yo!, 'Crescendo' is a sexy and unique track that mixes Korea's representative musical instruments, geomungo and taepyeongso, with the drill sound that has become a global trend. In addition, Hyungwon, who shows a wide spectrum, produced and recorded 'LONE RANGER' with an impressive unique Western sound, and IM produced and recorded the irresistible R&B track 'Deny'.
All the achievements that each member has accumulated so far have been achieved in a solid 'relationship' with Monsta X and fans. The domains they built as producers, rappers, singer-songwriters, and DJs eventually became MONSTA X, a 'reason' to build sympathy and relationships with more fans. MONSTA X, who has become an irresistible reason for going beyond the limits, once again advances to an infinite world.

MONSTA X 미니 12집앨범 〈REASON〉
- 몬스타엑스의 존재 이유, 거부할 수 없는 관계의 증명 'Beautiful Liar'
인간과 인간이 관계를 맺고 그걸 이어가는 데엔 어떠한 크고 작은 이유가 존재한다. 그 과정에서 각자의 존재 이유는 서로가 되어주고, 수많은 이유가 쌓인 순간부터는 더 이상 이유가 존재하지 않아도 관계는 유지된다. 굳이 이유가 필요 없는, 인연이라는 관계의 증명이다.
몬스타엑스가 12번째 미니앨범 'REASON'을 발매한다. 그간 완벽한 팀워크로 존재감을 쌓아온 그들의 '이유'에 대한 이야기다. 전작 'SHAPE of LOVE'를 통해 사랑의 다양한 감상을 전달했다면, 이번에는 여러 관계 안에서 분명한 존재 이유를 찾고 서로의 의미를 발견하고자 한다. 독보적인 색깔을 드러내면서 더욱 뚜렷해지는 몬스타엑스의 존재를 명확하게 증명할 것이다.
'REASON'은 8년째 지켜온 몬스타엑스의 현재를 성찰하는 과정이다. 치열했던 시간 속에서 마주한 성공과 시련, 두려움에 맞선 노력, 위로에 대한 모든 감정의 이유를 발견하고, 더 나아가 팬들과의 관계 속 그 가치를 찾고자 한다. 수많은 관계 속에서 굳이 이유를 찾지 않아도 되는 굳건한 믿음, 결국 서로에게 더 큰 의미가 되어줄 것이라는 메시지다.
타이틀곡 'Beautiful Liar'는 가장 극한의 위험한 관계에서 발견한 사랑의 이유를 노래한다. 리드미컬하고 파워풀한 펑크록 스타일의 곡으로, 중독성 강한 비트와 몬스타엑스 보컬 퍼포먼스가 강렬한 몰입감을 선사한다. 특히 긴장감을 유지한 채 전개되는 위험한 메시지는 강렬한 일렉트로닉 기타 사운드와 비트와 함께 극적인 감상을 전달한다. '절대 거부할 수 없는 위태로운 감정, 위험한 관계를 지속하면서도 놓지 못하는 사랑'이란 주제가 멤버들의 열정과 결합돼 하이라이트를 만들어낸다.
몬스타엑스는 파워풀한 군무와 음악으로 독자적인 영역을 구축하며 8년의 시간을 지켜왔다. 이번 'REASON'을 통해 몬스타엑스는 다시 한번 음악적 견고함은 물론 몬스타엑스만의 특유의 스타일을 공식대로 드러낸다. 변함없이 멤버들의 주도적인 참여로 그들만의 색깔에 그 깊이를 더했으며, 멤버들의 발적전인 역량에도 이목이 집중된다. 타이틀곡 'Beautiful Liar'를 통해 남성적이며 터프한 이미지를 증명했다면, 'Daydream'는 부드럽고 매혹적인 몬스타엑스의 다른 면을 조명한다.
이외에도 멤버들의 프로듀싱으로 주도권을 확보한 덕분에, 앨범은 보다 다채로운 장르의 변주를 들려준다. 멤버 주헌이 오랜 작업 파트너인 Ye-Yo!와 함께 프로듀싱한 '춤사위 (Crescendo)'는 세계적인 트렌드로 자리 잡은 Drill 사운드에 한국을 대표하는 악기인 거문고와 태평소를 혼합해 섹시하면서도 독특한 트랙을 완성했다. 또 다양한 스펙트럼을 보여주고 있는 형원은 독특한 웨스턴 사운드가 인상적인 'LONE RANGER'를, I.M은 거부할 수 없는 R&B 트랙 'Deny'를 프로듀싱해 수록했다.
그간 각 멤버들이 쌓아온 모든 성취는 몬스타엑스와, 그리고 팬들과의 단단한 '관계'속에 이루어졌다. 프로듀서, 래퍼, 싱어송라이터, DJ로 자신들이 구축한 영역들은 결국 몬스타엑스로, 더 많은 팬들과 공감과 관계를 쌓는 '이유'가 된다. 한계를 뛰어넘어 거부할 수 없는 이유가 되어준 몬스타엑스가 또 한 번 무한의 세계로 나아간다.
