MONSTA X took first place in the male idol group category at the 15th TOP TEN AWARDS (TTA) hosted by TenAsia. The 15th TTA selects the best global artists of the first half of 2026, and the final vote ran from August 21 to 25. MONSTA X said, "This is an award we receive thanks to the many MONBEBE (the fandom) who were with us and supported us," adding, "It's all the more meaningful because we've been feeling grateful for the love MONBEBE sends us while promoting 'MAGIC' after releasing 'The Phase.'" Debuting in 2015 with their first mini album 'TRESPASS,' MONSTA X released hits such as 'DRAMARAMA,' 'Shoot Out' and 'Love Killa,' and resumed full-group activities last year for their 10th debut anniversary. MONSTA X released the new album 'The Phase' with title track 'MAGIC' on September 4 and are currently performing in North America as part of their world tour 'THE X : NEXUS.' "We're visiting more MONBEBE through the North American tour, and we'll repay them with great stages at our encore concert in November," they said. At this TTA, ILLIT topped the female idol group category, BTS's V and Red Velvet's Wendy the male and female solo idol categories, and LNGSHOT the rookie category.
