MAS 0094 began as a band between bassist Lee Giwook, guitarist Kang Hyungu and drummer Ju Harin. The three members met while attending a music academy, ModernK Music. Before long Son Dongmyeong was asked to join as vocalist and keytarist. Their current vocalist and front man, Jin Yonghoon, was asked to join the band after winning a singing contest in which the band had provided backing music for.

The band was named MAS 0094. MAS meaning Make a Sound and 0094 representing the youngest and oldest members’ birth years.

MAS 0094 was primarily known as a busking band. The money they made from their busking shows was given to charities and used as donations, most notably for comfort women.

As an indie band MAS 0094 was associated with ModernK Music and were able to release their first single, Butterfly, Finding Flower on August 13, 2015.

On March 25, 2016, MAS 0094 released their first EP, Feeling Good Day with title track Feeling Good. It would not be until August 2 of the same year that MAS 0094 would debut in live shows performing their new single, After 15 Seconds.

MAS 0094 released their second EP, MAKE SOME NOISE, on January 6, 2017. This EP included singles Make Some Noise and Starlight.

After a long break, on April 2017, news about MAS 0094 was finally released. Dongmyeong, their keytarist, was announced as an RBW trainee to participate in PRODUCE 101 Season 2. Dongmyeong would be eliminated in the first round, placing 68th overall.

After Dongmyeong’s venture in PRODUCE 101, Modernk Music issued an official announcement clarifying fans’ worries. MAS 0094 was now under RBW.

On July 9, 2017, MAS 0094 was rebranded as simply MAS.
