Part.1 Lost sold more than both their debut mini album Tresspass and their 2nd mini album Rush.

The 걸어 (All In) M/V so far has gained 9,624,432 million views so far through their official YouTube channel and 869,804 thousand views the 1theK's official YouTube channel giving the M/V a total of 10,494,236 million views, making it their most watched M/V from their The Clan series, I'm sure when this post has gone live the views will have increased. The Special Clip M/V for 네게만 집착해 (Stuck) has gained 11,040,391 million views and is increasing daily.

The Clan 2.5 Part.1 Lost was released in 2 different versions a Lost and a Found versions, both  versions have different booklets with the pictures in the Found version following the 걸어 (All In) M/V concept, both versions also have a different front cover with the booklet covers being from the opposite versions, only the CD design is the same for both versions. Both versions are set out in a hardback book style case.

Track List:
Ex Girl (Feat Wheein of Mamamoo)
걸어 (All In)
네게만 집착해 (Stuck)
설탕 (Sweetheart)
반칙이야 (Unfair Love)
Because of U







































I have the Lost version and I will be getting the Found version at some point, I love the lighting and the styling for the Lost version, I find it strange also that the special clip M/V's always seem to do better than their title track M/V which makes me feel bad for them and it makes me wonder if they picked the wrong song to be their title track, I love both of the tracks but personally for me I prefer 걸어 (All In), a factor for this could also be that a lot of people were confused to the goings on for the 걸어 (All In) M/V, whereas 네게만 집착해 (Stuck) mainly focuses on their visuals and choreography which is always on point with MONSTA X. The Clan 2.5 Part.1 Lost, is really an amazing album and continues to follow MONSTA X's sound and style with each track being different and highlighting all their vocals from the vocal line to the rap line, it's again like Rush an album that I enjoy listening to from start to finish. Check out the tracks from Part.1 Lost, below.
