Monsta X Facts

1. South Korean entertainment company Starship Entertainment collaborated with music channel Mnet on a survival program called No.Mercy and the final line up was made into a South Korean boy band called Monsta X. The group members were chosen on the last episode of the show.
2. All the group members were in the show since day one except for I.M, who was added midway in the show and ended up being on the group list.
3. The name of the group, in fact, is a pun. It can be taken as “monsters conquering the K-pop scene” or “my star” as Mon means “My” in French. The X in the name represents some unknown existence.
4. The group made their Japanese debut in May 2017 with their first Japanese single Hero and it peaked at number 2 on the Oricon’s weekly single chart, number 1 on Tower Records’ chart and number 2 on Billboard Japan’s weekly charts.
