MONSTA X set out their only live-stream concert of the year, presented by LiveXLive virtually on August 9 (Sunday).
The live-stream concert was announced in June 2020 after their world tour was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The initial schedule should occur on July 25, but unfortunately, the management had to postpone the event to August 9.
According to Soompi, the show's date's deferment is to prioritize Shownu's recovery from eye surgery after being diagnosed with Left Retinal Detachment (Amotio Retinae).
Finally, after much excitement from fans, the group virtually performed and interacted with their fandom, best known as Monbebe.

Not only did they give an energetic performance, but they also extended unique segments in between the concert wherein they talked about what the members have been up to recently, and entertained fans with a Q&A session.
During the live-stream concert, Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwoon, Joohoney, and I.M. expressed how they worked hard to prepare for the online live concert. They also expressed how eager they wanted to show Monbebe a lot of stages, thinking of the heartbreak that must have been caused by the postponement of their 2020 world tour.
Monbebe, on the other end, showed their love and support for the sextet by sending messages through real-time chats.
At the end of the concert, Monsta X shared their words of encouragement to the fans, amidst the challenging situation the world is currently facing. How they are looking forward to meeting Monbebes again face-to-face the circumstance allows.
In light of the upcoming '2020 MTV Video Music Awards,' MONSTA X has been nominated under the 'Best K-pop' category for their heartwarming pop ballad track 'SOMEONE'S SOMEONE' from the album 'All About Luv.'
