Original.

I got super curious so I went to check it out myself and....it actually wasn't that bad or cringey. Wonder why they thought so

Lyrics like
"Excuse me, excuse my charisma
I’m gonna be rude and enter your heart (?????)
My love knows no manners, excuse my charisma
Young and bad, get used to Jooheon
Monsta X boys on the way man"



I think a lot of groups might feel like their debut song, concept, or styling is cringeworthy. As they grow and mature musically, they get embarrassed watching their old stuff. Monsta X have improved a lot since then, they probably thought Trespass was too "tryhard."

Can you even imagine them saying "Please give Hug Hug your continued love and support". I can't...
Funny story, when they first heard their name was going to be "GFriend", they thought the CEO was joking and were like "are you for real?". After they debuted, they saw a whiteboard in the conference room with the other names and were extremely shocked. Needless to say, they've warmed up to GFriend now

Lyrics like
"Excuse me, excuse my charisma
I’m gonna be rude and enter your heart (?????)
My love knows no manners, excuse my charisma
Young and bad, get used to Jooheon
Monsta X boys on the way man"

Oh...those lyrics. Yeah, now I can see why...

You raise a very good point about the debut songs of many groups and how their style has evolved over the years

Bang Yongguk didnt begin speaking until 5 years old.
BAP was supposed to debut as a 5 member group, Daehyun was only added 6 months before.
Shinee was supposed to debut as a rap group because their vocals were so weak.
Jonghyun was in a school band but not as a vocalist, as a bassist.
