Monday Kiz was first debuted as 2-man group that was initially made up of Kim Min-soo and Lee Jin-sung. They named themselves "Monday Kiz" because the members used to meet every Monday to rehearse. Also, they wanted to approach their careers with the same gusto that people try to start off a brand new week with. The duo debuted with their song "Bye Bye Bye", the title song off their 2005 debut album. It was written by famous song-writer Kim Do-hoon, who has also written for top names like Hweesung, SG Wannabe and Gummy. Song-writer Jun Hae-sung, who has also written for ballad-king Lee Seung-chul and Yoon Do-hyun, also took part in the making of the group's debut album. Other hit songwriters and lyricists, including Park Hae-woon, Kang Eun-kyung, Yoon Seung-hwan (who have worked with big names like Dragon Fly, Seven, Taebin and Maya) helped the duo with their sophomore album "El Condol Pasa." With help from big names in the industry, Monday Kiz started to make a name for themselves through their feel-good musical style which fused together pop, groove and R&B; rhythms. However, the tragic death of member Kim Min-soo in April of 2008 who was killed in a motorcycle accident, almost led to the end of Monday Kiz. Lee Jin-seong stopped all group activities in August of 2008. Fast forward two years, and two new members were added to the existing original member for the release of their new album "New Sentimental" in April of 2010. The 2 new members are Lim Han Byul who first debuted as a member of pop idol group A'ST1 in 2008. The group was disbanded a year later. Han Byul joined the new Monday Kiz when he was introduced to Lee JIn Sung by a composer. The other new member, Han Seung Hui participate in an audition to search for Monday Kiz new member. He beating up other 5000 hopefull candidates. The song "흩어져" or "Scatter" from the "New Sentimental" album was written by Lee Jin-seong himself, both music and lyrics. It shot to number one on the Mnet charts, Monkey3 real time searches, number one on Cyworld, and even fifth for Nate Caller-ring selection. The group was also featured on Korean drama OSTs.
