As he made it to the finals, Wonho ended up joining the group, MONSTA X, alongside Shownu and Jooheon. #GUN did not make it to the finals so he instead chose to do a solo career. MONSTA X debuted on May 14th, 2015. During his time with the group, Wonho participated in the writing and composing of some songs as well.
