About Mnet No.Mercy

After the competition, the final group of trainees formed MONSTA X. Shortly after the release of the last episode of NO.MERCY, Starship Entertainment announced the name for the new group as MONSTA X. In regards to the group’s name, Starship explained, “The name signifies the emergence of a monster who will dominate the Kpop scene, as well as the meaning of ‘My star’, as ‘Mon’ means ‘my’ in French. The X in the name refers to the existence of the unknown.” After the competition, many of the eliminated trainees continued to pursue careers in music. #GUN continued training under Starship and debuted as a solo act in 2016.
