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 ↴
Dramatic 찰나
드리운 니 shadow, 심장은 beating
여린 너의 숨을 훔쳐 like a fire
전율에 휩싸여 멈추긴 싫어
Hey, tell me what you want, what you want right now
Right now now now
올인하고 질러버려 아니야 날 잊어버려
황홀하고 위험하고 달콤한 동시에 독해
삼키면 뜨거운 위스키 속 얼음과 cheers
몰아치는 감정, 참을 수가 없어 널 손에 쥔 순간
더는 나를 자극 하지마 (자극 하지 마)
얼마든지 I can make you cry (girl, I can make you cry)
굳이 나를 시험에 들게 하지 않길 바래
난 간절히 기도해
내게 넌 많이 아프고도 슬픈 아름다운 존재
Love than hate
딴 생각은 하지 마 (that's right)
차라리 더 몰아붙여 나를 놔주지 마 (더 몰아붙여 날)
Love thriller, love thriller, love thriller
전율이 돋아나 oh
소름이 끼쳐 oh
한편의 완벽한 love thriller (I think I'm going down)
넌 나를 잠식해 love thriller
(Let's get it over now) 눈 마주친 순간
깊이 찔려버린 듯 (don't stop)
질식할 듯 조여 오는 숨 (gotcha)
You're love thriller (I think I'm going down)
깊이 빠져들어 love thriller
(It's getting deeper now) 난 네게로 (eh eh)
소름이 끼쳐 thriller hah
내 몸에 너의 흔적 다
이상하도록 너무 좋아 이런 상황 속에서 너를 찾아
너를 찾다가 다시 또
난 너의 향기를 타고 날아가
기분은 high 내 기분은 fly
분위기는 이제 최고조로 가
니가 짜둔 함정 짜릿한 이 반전
저항할 순 없어 (저항할 순 없어)
더는 나를 자극 하지마
얼마든지 I can make you cry (girl, I can make you cry, yo)
무료해진 내 삶 너로 인한 사랑의
흥미를 느껴 한계는 끝이 없어 I'm out of control
그 누구도 너의 눈에 담지 마 (you're mine)
날 깨어나게 한 너니까
이대로 난 끝을 봐
No oh 소름이 끼쳐 oh
한편의 완벽한 love thriller (한편의 완벽한 love thriller)
(I think I'm going down)
넌 나를 잠식해 love thriller (love thriller)
(Let's get it over now) 눈 마주친 순간
깊이 찔려버린 듯 (don't stop)
질식할 듯 조여 오는 숨 (gotcha)
You're love thriller (I think I'm going down)
깊이 빠져들어 love thriller
(It's getting deeper now) 난 네게로
무릎을 꿇어, 결국 날 바쳐
날 자극한 숨까지 다 가질 테니까
난 너에게로 깊이 추락하는 듯 해
천천히 나를 조여줘 나도 널 볼 수 있게
짜릿하게 스친 미소 네가 탐나
운명에게 우릴 맡겨
I want you bad like a psycho
휘몰아치는 우리의 감정선
니 손에 날 무너뜨려
Love thriller, love thriller, love thriller
벗어날 수 없어 oh 소름이 끼쳐 oh
한편의 완벽한 love thriller (한편의 완벽한 love thriller)
