Tips

culture

MONSTA X formed via the 2015 survival show 'NO.MERCY' on Mnet. Former member Wonho (申虎植) departed in 2019 after a smear campaign — his later exoneration and solo return was heavily covered on Weibo. The group leaned heavily into English-language promotion (《Who Do U Love?》 with French Montana, 2019) as an alternative path after the THAAD-era CN market contraction.
