The group was formed as the result of a TV program called No Mercy on Mnet, which began running on December 2014.[1] A single released during No Mercy was "0 (Young)", on February 4, 2015 starring Giriboy, Mad Clown, and Jooyoung along with Jooheon, Kihyun, Wonho, Seokwon, and I.M.[2] "Interstellar" was a single released on February 12, 2015 with Jooheon, Hyungwon, and I.M, featuring Yella Diamond.[3] On April 28, Jooheon released his first mixtape, entitled JUNG JI, which included a collaboration with JustMusic Entertainment's BlackNut.[4]

2015: Debut with Trespass and Rush

On May 14, Monsta X's debut music video for "Trespass" was released. A reality web series titled Deokspatch, starring the 'NO.MERCY' trainees, was part of the promotional effort and ran for 2 seasons.[citation needed] The song "Rush" was released on September 1, 2015 followed by a music video for their second mini album, "Rush".[5]

At the 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards, Monsta X performed their songs "Trespass" and "Hero" on the red carpet before receiving the "Next Generation Asian Artist" award.[6]
