YG’s new girl group, BABYMONSTER, will debut as a 7-member group.

BABYMONSTER, a new girl group from YG Entertainment (hereafter referred to as YG), has confirmed their 7-member debut.

 

YG posted 'BABYMONSTER - DEBUT MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEO' on its official blog at midnight on the 12th. As much interest was focused on the final result as to who would be the debut member of Baby Monster, general producer Yang Hyun-suk personally introduced the debut member.

 

The first main character was Ahyeon. As an 'all-rounder' member who doesn't miss out on vocals, rap, or performance, he has all the skills and ability to lead Baby Monster. Second, Luka, who boasts a unique presence as a female rapper with a hip-hop identity of YG, was selected.

 

The third was Chiquita. Although she is the youngest of the 7 prospective members and her trainee period was short, she quickly grew up and showed limitless potential. For the fourth time, Haram crossed the threshold of her final debut. In addition to her unwavering solid live skills, her ability to reinterpret her songs with her own musical color was highly praised.

 

Her last member was Farita. It is because she is a member who has mastered various languages ​​such as her mother tongue, Thai, English, and Korean, as well as her solid skills. It is the result of combining individual capabilities, synergies that emerge when gathered as a team, and global capabilities.

 

At this time, when the five of them seemed to have been decided as the final members, Yang Hyun-suk, general producer, brought out a reversal card. With the addition of Laura, who was scheduled to join another YG girl group, and Asa, who was planning to participate in a new project to be showcased in Japan, Baby Monster's 7-member debut was confirmed without any dropouts.

For the past two weeks after the end of 'Last Evaluation', general producer Yang Hyun-suk has been monitoring and worrying about the number of fans cheering for the 7-member debut. He said, "'YG Family' is not just a collection of YG singers. YG's fans are the true 'YG family'." explained.

 

A blueprint for Baby Monster's activities was also revealed. They plan to accelerate their debut this fall and repay the love they have received through group and unit activities. Yang Hyun-suk, general manager, said, "I will step on the accelerator pedal for my debut and do my best to support the members. I sincerely thank the fans who have been watching. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the members who must have been anxious."

 

Meanwhile, even before Baby Monster's official debut, the number of subscribers to its official YouTube channel exceeded 2 million in 129 days, the shortest record for a K-pop girl group, and the cumulative number of weekly views of teaser content is over 400 million. Billboard of the United States selected them as 'K-Pop Artists to Watch' and predicted that they would "create a new wave in the K-Pop genre", receiving attention at home and abroad even before their debut.
