During his performance, I.M shocked everyone, including his pianist, by removing his shirt and performing the rest of his set shirtless.

I.M’s self-wardrobe alterations made his already sexy songs even hotter. MONBEBEs were living for it.
HOTTER THAN YOUR EX, BETTER THAN YOUR NEXT

By going shirtless, I.M treated everyone to a view of not only his physique but his beautiful tattoos. He’s literally a work of art.

I.M went viral across social media apps TikTok and X (formerly Twitter). He took over all our FYPs (For Your Pages), but we’re not complaining.
Surprisingly, I.M revealed to the crowd that he was not originally planning to remove his shirt. For everyone’s sake, we’re so glad he changed his mind!
🐈⬛I wasn't originally thinking of tak..ing off my clothes, 'cause I eat regular meals these days and I also eat ramen..
🐈⬛And 'cause I have to go tanning so my body comes out looking nice but I wasn't able to go tanning (laughs)pic.twitter.com/WTldPpFMYo— Monsta X translations (@GRRsubs) September 3, 2023
I.M also looked so happy with MONBEBEs throughout the performance too.
