iMBC Entertainment reported that ‘MAGIC’ is the title track of ‘The Phase.’ It also reported that Starship Entertainment released an album trailer through MONSTA X’s official social media channels on August 17, 2026. ([iMBC Entertainment](https://enews.imbc.com/M/Detail/515131))

‘The Phase’ was described as an album that combines refined music and visuals with witty elements while building on MONSTA X’s established identity.

Impact

There are three key points readers can confirm before the release:

  1. The album is an EP, not a full-length album.
  2. It contains six tracks, and ‘MAGIC’ has been reported as the title track.
  3. Sequential shipments of the physical products and the scheduled digital release are both set for September 4.

Next Checkpoint

With the scheduled release date approaching, the official store and official music channels should be checked on September 4 to confirm the actual release schedule and the progress of product shipments. The currently confirmed materials do not include post-release chart results or performance-related outcomes.
