The group consists of Moos, Daewon, Lee Geon, Jota, Heo Jun, Buffy and H.O. Their debut album, Mad Town, was released on October 6, 2014. Two of the members, Moos and Buffy, originally debuted as the hip hop duo Pro C in 2013.

Career

2014: Debut with YOLO and MAD TV

Earlier-generation groups such as g.o.d, Dynamic Duo and idol groups such as Sistar, VIXX, Secret, Bangtan Boys, High4 and Jay Park held a banner which had "Welcome to Mad Town" pasted on it, arousing curiosity and suspicion of whether it is an MBLAQ's comeback, or the debut of a new boy group.[1] On September 24, 2014, J. Tune Camp finally announced the debut of their second boy group through a teaser image.[2] This marks J. Tune Camp's boy group debut after 5 years, and group debut after 2 years (before Two X left J. Tune Camp). For the next two days, J. Tune Camp started introducing its members, including Moos and Buffy which are members of Pro C which debuted earlier. They started off with 3 members (namely Moos, Daewon and Lee Geon) on the first day and the remaining 4 members (namely Jota, Heojoon, Buffy and H.O) on the second day.[3][4][5]

The Mad Town members themselves also explained the different style of music that they are specialised in as compared to their senior group and labelmate MBLAQ as well as the members' personalities when they sat down for an interview.[6]

On October 1, J. Tune Camp uploaded their debut Music Video teaser on their official YouTube channel.[7][8] 5 days later, J. Tune Camp uploaded their debut Music Video YOLO on their official YouTube channel.[9][10] On the same day, J. Tune Camp released their debut EP, titled "Mad Town" digitally.[11] On October 9, they had their debut stage on M Countdown. After which, they released their debut album physically.[12]

They were featured on MAD TV, a reality show which featured their everyday lives. It started through J. Tune Camp's official YouTube channel on October 30, 2014 and ended on January 30, 2015 including a special "Delivery Season".[13]

Tune Camp uploaded the full Music Video for New World.[17] On the same day, J. Tune Camp released their 2nd mini album titled "Welcome to Madtown" digitally.[18] On March 16, they released their 2nd mini album physically.[19] On November 12, they released their first digital single, "OMGT", which stands for "Oh My God Thanks".
