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.

MONSTA X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
너를 귀찮게 만드는 가식뿐인 늑대 같은 남자들
아니야 넌 내껀데 내가 지켜야 할 의무가 있는데
누가 널 절대 넘볼 수 없게 내가 지켜줄게
넌 너무나 아름다워서 난 적이 많아
마치 공주를 지키는 게임 같아
걱정하지마 난 너만의 남자
I can be your hero
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero 악당들은 뒤로
나쁜 것들 포대기에 싸맨 다음 트럭에 실어
하나같이 다 짐승같아보여 동물원에 버려
전부 말들이 많어 널 가지려 뱉어대는 개소리 (월월월)
(What?) 만만하게 날 봤다면 버섯 먹고 크게 자라
바지 위에 팬티를 입고 망토를 달아
수트도 가끔 입고 가슴에서 빛이나
빛이나 우리가 빛이나 다들 고개를 bow
마지막 경고할게 화나면 난리나 나 무섭게 변해
누가 널 절대 넘볼 수 없게 내가 지켜줄게
넌 너무나 아름다워서 난 적이 많아
마치 공주를 지키는 게임 같아
걱정하지마 난 너만의 남자
I can be your hero, I can be your hero
I can be your hero
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero, I can be your man
Ay 난 너의 악당들을 모두 하나같이 뱅 뱅 뱅 뱅
하늘을 슝슝 그냥 막 하늘을 날아다녀 슈퍼맨
너의 입꼬리위에 매달려 웃음짓게 만들어낼게 배트맨
널 울게 만드는 그 어떤 악당들 이제는 싹 다 꺼지라 할게요
I can be your hero
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero, I can be your man
I can be your hero, I can be your man
The lyrics of MONSTA X's song HERO talk about being the hero for the girl they love. They start by acknowledging the only problem they have found with her, which is the fake and annoying wolf-like men that surround her. However, they feel that it is their duty to protect her and make sure no one hurts her. The song also talks about how beautiful the girl is and that the singer has liked and admired her for a long time. They compare the feeling of being with her to a game of protecting a princess.
In the second verse, the singer describes their capabilities as a hero, able to take down any villains who try to harm the girl. They also describe how they can dress up like superheroes such as Batman or Superman just to make her laugh. The song ends with the singer reassuring the girl that they will always protect her and asking her to trust them.
Overall, the emphasis of the song is on being a strong, dependable figure for someone you care about deeply. It also highlights the need to protect oneself or others from harm, especially from people with ulterior motives.

We're shining and everyone's bowing down to us

I'll hang above your smile and make you laugh like Batman
널 울게 만드는 그 어떤 악당들 이제는 싹 다 꺼지라 할게요
Those villains who make you cry, I'll make sure they're all gone now
