Before their debut, the boys participated in the survival show NO.MERCY. The group name has the double meaning of monsters conquering the K-pop scene and my star (MON means 'my' in French). X is an unknown existence.
They officially debuted through M! Countdown on May 14, 2015 with " 무단침입 (Trespass)". Their first music show trophy came with "DRAMARAMA" through The Show on November 14, 2017, while the album, THE CODE, peaked at #1 on the Gaon Album Chart.
They released their first Japanese-only single "SPOTLIGHT" on January 10, 2018.
In February 2020, Monsta X's first English album All About Luv ranked number five on the US Billboard 200 and number seven on the US Rolling Stone Top 200.
Since debut, Monsta X has been known for their aggressive style, combining elements of hip hop, EDM and pop. This aggressive style with "tracks centred around loud, clattering, electronic instrumentals, vicious rap verses, and striking vocals" has been influential across the fourth generation of K-pop.
On December 10, Monsta X released their second English-language album The Dreaming, which includes the previously released single "One Day" and nine new tracks. They also released a documentary/concert film Monsta X: The Dreaming on December 8 in South Korea and on December 9 and 11 in seventy countries around the world. The film contains exclusive interviews with the members, clips from their US activities, special stages, and the group's six-year journey. The group will be joining iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball Tour and is set to perform at Philadelphia on December 13, Washington D.C. on December 14, Atlanta on December 16, and Miami on December 19.

Ah fantasia
I gotta feel, umm, something for real, umm
그래 우리가 만드는 합 (합) yeah always I kill, oh
Fantastic, that's me 'cause I slay
Top of the top, my level is A
내 자신과의 싸움을 수 차례 반복해
파도가 덮쳐와 날 흔들어놔
무너뜨리고 다시 헤집어 놔
It goes like bang, 당겨 방아쇠
무릎 꿇지 않아 (hey)
꺾이지 않아 난 (hey)
더 뜨겁게 타올라
몰아쳐봐 세게, 묶어봐 더 세게
막아봐 if you can
Fantasia (uh)
두려움 erase it, 태워버려 blazin'
다시 기억해내
Fantasia
(Oh oh oh oh)
Let me be your fantasy
Bring it back, back, back (uh)
Bring it back, back, back

Bring it back, back, back
Sir, I'm good huh
Yo, I go loco 급이 달라 우린 check my flow
Huh? I ain't 보통 나의 style이 니들의 motto
박차를 가해 pedal to the medal
우린 속도를 올려 차원이 다른 level (hoo)
Yo who gon' stop us, who gon' stop us
저리 비켜 we go first
가진 게 너와 나 둘뿐이던 나
그것만이 온 세상이었던 나
It goes like bang, 다시 달릴게

The lyrics of MONSTA X’s song, “Fantasia,” contain themes of self-confidence, determination, and empowerment. The chorus, “Fantasia, fantasia,” is an affirmation of the power of one’s imagination. The repeated phrase, “Let me be your fantasy, bring it back,” is a call to action to embrace one’s desires and to take action to achieve them.
In the verses, the lyrics express a sense of perseverance in the face of obstacles. The lines, “내 자신과의 싸움을 수 차례 반복해” (I’ve repeated fights with myself many times) and “파도가 덮쳐와 날 흔들어놔 무너뜨리고 다시 헤집어 놔” (Waves roll and shake me, tumble me down, then flip me up again) are references to the struggles and challenges that come with pursuing one’s dreams. However, the lyrics emphasize the importance of persistence, with lines like “더 뜨겁게 타올라” (Burn hotter) and “마지막까지 난 (go wild)” (I’ll go wild until the end).
Overall, MONSTA X’s “Fantasia” is a powerful anthem of self-belief and an empowering call to action to pursue one’s dreams with determination and confidence.

To those who are new and/or interested in Monsta x...
Monsta x is a male kpop group that debuted on the 14 of may 2015 under Starship Entertainment with their MV and EP "Trespass" after being formed on a survival show called "no mercy", They tend tend to have intense verses and melodic choruses, however they are very versatile and can have more of a softer tone/concept to some of their songs like those in their all english album called "all about luv", they have so many interesting concepts, amazing storylines in their videos, and intense choreographies. To top it off they're incredibly talented vocalists (especially their main vocalist Kihyun), amazing dancers, and they have one of, if not the best raplines in kpop of their generation.
Their fandom is called Monbebe which means my baby in french.

@nurwiliseli9483
kinghyun. valid
@tuanacp
Nooooo!
@choisan-xx6uh
Can we just talk about how unreal Shownu is. Kihyun killed those solo shots. I.M and Jooheon’s raps are absolute fire. Hyungwon and Minhyuk were perfect. They all look so beautiful in that black and gold scene. The entire video just does all of them justice. I’m happy that every member got a chance to shine in this video. Monsta X did not come to play with this comeback.
