Unfold is the tenth and the third English-language studio album by the South Korean boy group Monsta X. It was released by Intertwine on April 3, 2026.

Background

On March 2, Starship Entertainment announced that Monsta X will release an album, titled Unfold, on April 3. It was accompanied by a "coming soon" image, with a composition that resembled a glimpse of a document, papers with stamps and clips added to the meaning of "records". The album featured the singles "Baby Blue", which was pre-released in November 2025, and "Growing Pains", which was pre-released in February.[1] The single "Heal" was released alongside the album in April.[2]

Composition

Unfold reveals the stories that Monsta X has kept folded over the past ten years, bringing out everything, from wounds, growing pains, fading love, to inner voices they themselves were unaware of. It depicts an "emotional journey" that eventually returns to oneself and a work that captures a "deeply human story".[3]

Promotion

In April, Monsta X appeared on several US news and entertainment programs such as Good Morning America,[4] Good Day L.A.,[5] The Kelly Clarkson Show, and iHeartRadio.[6] They also garnered attention from major media outlets such as Billboard, Forbes, and Access Hollywood for their performance on the said programs.[6] Several pop-up stores were opened in US cities including New York City.[7]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number seventeen on the weekly Circle Album Chart, dated March 29 – April 4, with 20,396 sales.[8] It also debuted at number forty-one on the US Billboard 200 and number two on its Top Album Sales.[9][10]

The single "Heal" entered the US Mainstream Top 40 of Billboard, placing at number thirty-three as its highest, for four consecutive weeks.[11]
