We're back with MONSTA X with this weeks K-pop post and this week I'm sharing with you their debut mini album.

Back in 2014 Starship Entertainment started an idol survival show named No Mercy, which 12 (later 13 with the addition of I.M) Starship trainee's battled with and against each other for a chance to make their debut as part of a 7 member boy group. No Mercy lasted 10 episodes, with the 10th episode revealing the final line up of the group, halfway through the competition after a contestant was eliminated , to which I.M was then added into the competition, which caused friction between himself and the remaining competitors. The final episode aired on the 11th of February 2015 revealing that the group would be called MONSTA X, as well as announcing that Wonho, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Shownu, I.M, Jooheon and Minhyuk were the members.
On the 11th/12th of February 2015 an M/V was released for 인터스텔라 (Interstellar), performed by Hyungwon, Jooheon and I.M featuring Yella Diamond, which was a winning song in the final battle on No Mercy.

Jooheon and I.M helped to co-write 출구는 없어 (No Exit), One Love, 훔쳐 (Steal Your Heart) and 인터스텔라 (Interstellar).
Both Jooheon and I.M wrote the lyrics for Blue Moon.
Jooheon co-composed 출구는 없어 (No Exit), One Love and Blue Moon.

Trespass peaked at No.5 on the Gaon Albums Chart.

I love the layout for this album as well as the pictures and like all their other albums, I love every track, each song is different but has that MONSTA X sound to it that all MonBebe's now know. I really like that they kept the album artwork and colour scheme simple as I think it makes a good impact for their debut as I think it allows their music to be really heard. I watched No Mercy a few months back and I can honestly say that when they brought I.M in halfway, I found it really uncomfortable to watch them being so negative and pretty much ignoring him. The way I look at it is if each one of them were given that opportunity in the same situation, they would all jump at the chance to be able to debut. I'm glad that MONSTA X are the 7 members that they are as I think they would be a totally different group if even just 1 of them was missing. Check out their debut into the music scene below!

MONSTA X have announced their next comeback to be in November with the announcement teaser being released towards the end of September, I'm so excited to hear what they will come back with, MONSTA X are one of the few groups that never disappoint with each comeback. I just hope they can get their first music show win with this comeback.
