M.O.N.T
Let yourself be captivated by the world of M.O.N.T!
After six years, the group M.O.N.T returned to Paris on March 15th for a unique concert at the Pan Piper. Invited by ANKR Entertainment, KSTATION TV was honoured to participate in the reunion between M.O.N.T and the French MINTs (fandom name).
Before reuniting with M.O.N.T, fans warmed up with SOLEIL NOCTURNE‘s performance. With her songs “Oxygène“, “Navire“, and her cover of ROSÉ‘s “APT“, the young singer captured the audience’s attention before giving way to the group.
Amid cheers from the fans, M.O.N.T unveiled its new formation as a band, with RODA on bass, NARACHAN on guitar, and BITSAEON on keyboards. They opened the concert with the songs “OMW“, “Honestly“, “IDGAF“, and “Like you“, showcasing their new musical identity.
Still unseen in Europe, this band formation brought a new dimension to the performances while highlighting the breadth of their talents. From the very first notes, the group immersed us in its unique world, setting the tone for a captivating and energetic concert.
But M.O.N.T didn’t stop there! The members planned many surprises for the MINTs present at the concert to celebrate their European return.
First, each member presented a solo performance. BITSAEON took the stage first with a touching cover of ROSÉ‘s “Number one girl“. His voice, perfectly matching ROSÉ‘s ballad, left a lasting impression on us.
Then, the mood changed with NARACHAN and his electric cover of LEGEND‘s “The score“. The group’s leader gave a unique performance, singing along with the audience while accompanied only by his guitar.
Finally, RODA concluded this first surprise with a cover of G-DRAGON‘s famous song, “Power“. Encouraged by the fans, RODA showed us his powerful rap in a remarkable performance.
Back as a group, M.O.N.T performed “Sorry” and “Pain in the rain” before the second surprise, teased on the group’s social media. RODA and BITSAEON presented a sublime cover of STROMAE and POMME‘s “Ma meilleure ennemie” with SOLEIL NOCTURNE as a guest. Despite the difficulty of singing in French, the two members succeeded, leaving their fans with fond memories.
The concert continues with new performances of “Noir“, from MBC’s music show “Peak Time“, “Shadow“, and “Double triple“. These three songs, with their contrasting moods, perfectly illustrate the diversity and richness of the group’s discography.
After its three performances, the group unveiled its final surprise: a mini-game. Each member drew a challenge to complete. RODA danced on the TikTok challenge “Gwenchana dance“. NARACHAN had to find three French words and three French dishes like ratatouille or snails. Finally, BITSAEON serenaded a fan on stage. A friendly moment between M.O.N.T and the fans as the concert soon ended.
For the final part of the concert, the group energetically performed on “Speed“, “Antihero“, and “Tired” before thanking the fans for their unwavering support and returning to the stage with a festive encore on “Bae” and “Go Crazy“.
“I’m happy to be in Paris tonight.” – BITSAEON
“I’m happy to be here, I hope we’ll be back soon.” – RODA
“Thank you for coming, we had a wonderful evening with you.” – NARACHAN
Finally, what we will remember from this concert is the closeness the members had with their fans. After four years of waiting, they delivered not only rich performances but also many surprises, creating unforgettable memories for the MINTs in attendance. Moreover, their musical universe captivated us throughout the concert, making us eager to discover the band’s upcoming projects.
Finally, M.O.N.T recently concluded its European tour with a concert on March 30th at Proxima in Warsaw.
