K-pop act Monsta X kicked off its U.S. tour, Saturday (local time), about three years after its last world tour.

"Monsta X's U.S. tour was supposed to take place earlier, but we had to push back the date following the COVID-19 pandemic," Starship explained. "So this time, the members will put forth some fantastic performances for the fans in the U.S., who have waited them for a long time."
