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.

또 차마 미안하다 못했던 거
니가 내 곁에 있는 걸 당연하게 생각했어
조금씩 그렇게 나도 시간에게 속았어
전부 지울 순 없겠지만
다 잊을 수도 없겠지만 oh
되돌릴 수 없다면 지금부터 시작하고 싶어
한 번 더 날 믿어줘
우리 얘길 새로 써 from zero
니 모든 걸 다시 알고 싶어
많이 힘들다 해도 from zero
너를 내 품에 다시 안고 싶어
From zero, from zero
시곌 지금 다시 거꾸로 돌리고 있어
처음처럼
내게 돌아와
From zero, zero, zero, zero
내게 돌아와
From zero, zero, zero, zero
내가 너로부터 그걸 느껴 사랑을
너는 나로부터 시작하면 돼 사랑을
되돌릴 수 없다면 지금부터 시작하고 싶어
한 번 더 날 믿어줘
우리 얘길 새로 써 from zero
니 모든 걸 다시 알고 싶어

From zero, zero, zero, zero

From zero, zero, zero, zero
우리가 함께 울고 웃었던 그날 (그날)
그 날을 추억하는 것도 다 그만해 yeah
내 손을 잡아야 해 yeah
놓지 말고 꽉 쥐어야 해
그래야 널 향한 사랑이 이제 낭떠러지라도 안 떨어지지 (처음처럼 다시 내게)
Zero, zero 내게 돌아와 ah

So please babe, huh
Just give me a chance to be yours
