by Maya Tavorath-Dangmann Earlier this month, K-Pop group Monsta X released their first English single “Who Do U Love?” featuring rapper French Montana. This is their first release from their collaboration with Epic Records, having signed to the American record label in late May. Monsta X are one of the few K-Pop groups working in collaboration with American labels, alongside groups like TXT and Blackpink. Since their debut in May 2015, Monsta X have never ceased to garner attention of listeners around the world. Their fan base is widespread and dedicated, and they all have their own reason for listening to the group. “The most fascinating thing about them is how they manage to maintain their signature sound,” said Kiersten Bergman, a 14 year-old fan. “They always sound unique and still sound like themselves, which I absolutely adore.” “Even if I don't understand Monsta X's native language, I just get so hyped up to their music and I honestly would never want to [stop listening to] this group,” said Anna Yuzenova, 19. Many of their fans are in the same boat as Anna and do not understand Korean, but still enjoy Monsta X’s music. However, when it comes to Monsta X releasing music in English – a language that is arguably more accessible to fans around the world – they have differing opinions.
