History
2014 – 2015 : No Mercy, formation, and debut
The group was formed as the result of a survival program called No. Mercy, which was launched by Starship Entertainment and Mnet in December 2014. It consisted of 10 episodes and aired Wednesdays 11PM on Mnet. The premise of the show is that 12 trainees (13 after I.M joins the competition in episode 8) compete against each other through various performances and are ranked from 1-12 (1 being the best and 12 being the worst). They also have to wear a nametag with their ranking that changed every time a new ranking is announced. For the show the participants worked directly with the artists of Starship Entertainment including Rhymer, San E, Giriboy and Genius Nochang.
