K-pop boy band Monsta X on Monday put off the release of a new album to late May due to member Shownu's back injury.

"Ahead of the comeback, Shownu felt pain in his back while working on a choreography exercise, and the result of a medical test at a hospital prohibited him from fierce exercise or body movements, requiring him to receive treatment," the band's management agency, Starship Entertainment, said
