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. On September 24, 2014, J. Tune Camp finally announced the debut of their second boy group through a teaser image. 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). During the next two days, J. Tune Camp started introducing its members, including Moos and Buffy who 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, Heo Jun, Buffy and H.O) on the second day.
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.
