On June 22, Starship Entertainment announced that Monsta X is ready to take the stage, for their one and only live-streamed concert, later this summer. Presented by LiveXLive (now LiveOne), it will take place on July 25 and feature the group performing a combination of English-language tracks from their studio album All About Luv and Korean-language hits for a one-of-a-kind show. The virtual event also promises to include exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the sextet, as well as VIP experiences like exclusive Monsta X merch and online meet and greets with fans.[1][2]

On July 13, the agency announced that the online concert will be delayed and to be live-streamed two weeks later on August 9 due to Shownu's left eye retinal detachment surgery recovery.[3]
