MONSTA X fans in Hong Kong and Macau received disappointing news as STARSHIP Entertainment announced the cancellation of the group's scheduled tour stops in both cities.

On March 6, the agency released a statement explaining that the Hong Kong and Macau dates from MONSTA X's 2026 world tour "THE X : NEXUS" will no longer happen "due to the local organizer's failure to fulfill contractual obligations." The announcement came just two days after the group revealed their detailed comeback schedule for their English album "Unfold," set to release April 3.

The timing adds frustration for international Monbebes who were planning to attend the concerts while anticipating the group's third English-language album. "THE X : NEXUS" tour was expected to support both their upcoming "Unfold" release and celebrate the group's continued global expansion.

While STARSHIP Entertainment didn't provide specific details about what contractual issues led to the cancellation, the agency's direct statement suggests significant problems with the local promotion company handling the shows. Concert cancellations due to organizer failures unfortunately happen in the K-pop touring industry, though they're always disappointing for fans who've made travel plans and purchased tickets.

The cancellations don't appear to affect other tour dates, and MONSTA X continues moving forward with their "Unfold" promotional timeline. Fans can still look forward to the album's release next month, which will mark another milestone in the group's English-language discography following previous releases "All About Luv" and "The Dreaming."

Ticketholders for the canceled shows should expect refund information from their original point of purchase or the local organizers, though processing times may vary depending on the circumstances surrounding the contractual issues.
