What is MONSTA X?

Source

MONSTA X is a male idol group that debuted in 2016 with STARSHIP Entertainment, which IVE and others belong to!

This time, we will explore the appeal of MONSTA X (hereinafter referred to as Monek).♪

Born on the survival program "NO.MERCY."

Did you know that Monek was actually a group born from a survival program?😲

It was formed by seven people selected from 12 trainees on the Korean survival program "NO. MERCY" held in 2015 by STARSHIP Entertainment!

"NO.MERCY" is a harsh program where participants are ranked every time they are judged, and each time they decide who is dropped out.😣

Mingyun from ONF also appeared on the survival program...!

The MC is singer K.Will, and the judges are Junggigo andSisters include Sohee and Hyo-rin.It's quite luxurious isn't it?

I.M, a member of Monek, is also famous as an unusual member who joined "NO.MERCY" halfway through!

As trainees dropped out due to the harsh competition, I.M joined the team as a newcomer, so it seems that some trainees were unable to accept him.

However, I.M was able to demonstrate his solid ability despite the headwinds and successfully joined the team.👏

Monek has a selection of talented people selected in this stunning audition.✨

May 14, 2015, debuted from STARSHIP Entertainment

Seven people selected on the survival program were from STARSHIP Entertainment on May 14, 2015He made his debut with the mini album "TRESPASS".♪

His debut song, "TRESPASS," is a hip-hop tune that gives a strong impression, typical of Monek!

Once you listen, you won't forget😲💫

Origin of group name

Next, we will find the origin of the group name: MON means "my" in French, STA means "star", and X means "unknown being."✨

The group name contains two meanings, the first is a coined word that combines the French word for "my star" with the "X" meaning unknown existence.

The second meaning is to become an entity that surpasses the K-POP world, like the English word "MONSTER."😲

As the name suggests, he is an active figure that surpasses the K-POP world.♪

Meaning of the fun name "MONBEBE"

Monek's official fan club name is "MONBEBE" which means "my baby" in French!

The official Japanese fan club name is "MONBEBE JAPAN", and it was announced in May 2025 that the establishment of a new FC was established.♪

What is the appeal of MONSTA X? [Monbebe's thorough explanation]

What do you think is the appeal of Monek?😊

Once you start talking, there are no end to it, and here we will focus on three things on Monek's charm!

Performers

Monek's performance should never be forgotten when talking about Monek's charms!

Enjoy Monek's music, which is contagious to Monbebe and captivates the people there.♪

Once you see her perfect and powerful performance, not only in terms of rap, but also in terms of vocal and dance, you will never forget it!

Monek has many famous songs, but among them, please take a look at the dance footage of "DRAMARAMA," which was the first time she won the number one on a music program 🩷

The untidy dance is impressive!

The members are good friends

The members who have been competing with each other since their days as a survival program are truly good friends.♪

We always visit each other's solo concerts, go to cheer them on,

We're going on private trips, and if we have a good schedule, there are a few people, so we're pretty close friends🧑🤝🧑

We also recommend content that gives you a glimpse of the friendship between the members!

This is a thumbnail that already conveys the fun (lol)

They're really the best group because they're so hard to play😂

Hyunwon has also been discharged, so I look forward to the release of content from six members.♪

Adult sexiness

When they first debuted, they had the impression that they were naughty, but more than half of them are now in their 30s and have become more attractive to adults!

I'm sure many people have been hit by the gap between them and the past.😊

There are many dance songs, but Monek is truly impressive as he sings in a wide range of genres, from songs full of adult sexiness to ballads!

Monek is full of adult charm!

I'm looking forward to the perfect comeva now♪

MONSTA X member profile [Age order]

Here we will introduce the profiles of the six members.♪

Please take this opportunity to get hooked on the charm of Monek!

SHOWNU

Leader as quiet as a bear🐻

He is usually quiet and talks little, but once he gets on stage he changes drastically!

Originally, he gained his skills as a trainee at JYP Entertainment, and was a member who led the dance at Monek.♪

It's no wonder that it's a gap!

He is relied on by his members as a father.

He has experience as a back dancer, and his dynamic and sharp dance is fascinating. Also pay attention to the muscular body that has been trained through dance.

He is also well-known for his stable singing voice. Although Shonu is such a versatile, she has a cute side to her poker face and quiet, and is known to be called "Robot Shonu" and "Bear-san."

MINHYUK

Handsome talking Minhyuk!

As a variety show team, he has been active in the variety show, leaving marks and MCs for music programs.♪

Minhyuk is popular as Monek's visual line for her puppy-like cuteness.

He is innocent and has a good personality, so he can quickly become friends with anyone.  

It seems that they are always stuck and touching someone, so many members have issued a no-skinship order.  

Minhyuk has a strong communication skills and loves to chat, and has the talent of an MC.  

He is also famous for his good at self-camera (self-camera = selfie) and for his polite fan service.  

Also, since his debut in Japan, he has been very enthusiastic about studying Japanese. Not only can she sing, dance and chat, but Minhyuk, who always thinks about her fans, can be said to be an idol among idols.

After being discharged, we also held a free event.♪

KIHYUN

Kihyun is the main vocalist in Monek's voice!

I usually have a lot of nagging, so I play Monek's mother-like role (lol)

Her powerful singing voice is transparent yet has a loud voice, captivating many fans.

Using her outstanding singing ability, she has also participated in the OST (soundtrack) of popular Korean dramas such as "She Was Beautiful" and "Suspicious Partner."  

He has a naughty appearance, but he has a solid personality and is serious.  

Sometimes we support our members just like a mother. He is known for being the "manager of laughter," and is characterized by his ability to laugh quickly after a small amount of time, and the charming point is that he loses his eyes when he smiles.  

Among such cute fans, it is said that she looks similar to "Nyanchu." Her hobby is taking photos, and her special skill is cooking.

Hyun Won (HYUNGWON)

It is no exaggeration to say that the term "tall and handsome" is truly for Hyunwon's sake...!

On stage, he makes a cool decision, but Monbebe tells him he's usually at his own pace and looks like a turtle (lol)

Hyunwon is from the same academy as member I.M, and became a trainee at STARSHIP Entertainment at the same time as member Min-hyuk.

After about three years as a trainee, he has since made his debut.  

His personality is silent and at his own pace.  

Because of the slow movements and speaking style, fans are nicknamed "Chae Boogie," which combines "turtle" and Hyunwon's real name, "Chae."  

Another attractive feature is that he has a look that everyone envys, but he is also friendly, showing off his weird faces and acting playfully. 

JOOHONEY

Joo Hong's rap is essential, and he overwhelms those around him with his charisma and solid ability!

Before his debut, Joo-Hong spent seven years as a trainee, and has also won first place in the overall ranking many times during his survival days.♪

Although she looks tough on her first look, she is the most charming member of the group (lol)

He is also famous for taking the peace sign next to his eyes and holding the eyes in a unique charming pose called "Kukukaka".  

Fans are fond of the difference between their seductive expressions on stage and their cute everyday personality.

Furthermore, she also has the cutest side of the members, being the scariest and crybaby. 

I was discharged in January 2025 and I love my fans so much that I will be holding an exchange event with fans right away.💙

IM (I.M)

Monek's youngest child, I.M!

He has grown into a mature man, as he has been the most sophisticated man since his days as a survival program.♪

In the past, he had the impression that he was shy, but now he is open to the members of Monek and is loved as a sloppy and good at being spoiled!

He is fluent in English because he lived in Israel due to his father's job when he was little, and also studied in the US.✨

And the calm rapping will also show off a performance that will appeal to you.😊

Currently, he has moved from the agency and is active as a solo artist, but he is also actively involved in Monek's group activities!

Who are the members leaving MONSTA X? Summary of reasons for leaving and current activities

I'm sure there were many Monbebes who were quite shocked at the time when they saw the news that Wonho was leaving from Monek, who was close.

Here we will summarize why member Wonho left the group and their current activities.

WONHO

Wonho, which was very popular as a visual line, was already attracting attention even before his debut!

On April 10th of this year, Wonho signed an exclusive contract with Highline Entertainment, a subsidiary of Starship Entertainment, to which MONSTA X belongs, and announced his full-scale return to entertainment industry as a solo artist and producer.

Currently, he is affiliated with "HIGHLINE Entertainment," a subsidiary of STARSHIP Entertainment, and is active solo.🎤

Recently, he has released English Single's "What Would You Do" to expand his range of activities.♪

Have you decided on the member colors for MONSTA X?

Is there a fixed membership colour for Monek, who is currently active with six people?

The member colors have not been officially announced.

However, since each person has a fixed color, there are fans who use these as member colors.

Rather than member colours, members are often compared to animals on social media.♪
