One group who perfectly captures the masculine energy of “Mirotic” is MONSTA X.

The styling is iconic, particularly Shownu and Wonho, both of whom fit the concept effortlessly.

STAYC is a refreshing group who always put forth their all in each performance.

Of all the songs on this list, I think Taehyun’s performance alone is one of the best.

SHINee & TXT

They’re another group who have perfected the art of transforming every song into their own.
