About BABYMONSTER
BABYMONSTER, a highly anticipated girl group from YG Entertainment, is set to break the seven-year hiatus since BLACKPINK’s debut. In a revelation back in May, the group’s diverse lineup was disclosed, featuring members Ahyeon, Haram, and Rora from Korea, Pharita and Chiquita from Thailand, and Ruka and Asa from Japan. This multinational composition reflects YG’s commitment to fostering a global musical presence. Originally slated for a September debut, YG Entertainment opted for a two-month delay, heightening expectations and speculation about what this new ensemble will bring to the K-pop scene when they finally unveil their debut in late November.
Speculations surrounding BABYMONSTER initially emerged in 2018, just two years after the debut of BLACKPINK. During that time, observant individuals noticed young female trainees in the vicinity of YG Entertainment’s prominent headquarters in Seoul. The rumors gained more substance in 2020 as YG Entertainment was seen filing trademark applications for both ‘BABYMONSTER’ and ‘Baemon’ (a condensed form of ‘BABYMONSTER’).
Fans and industry enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting BABYMINSTER’s debut significant moment as the multinational girl group, produced by YG Entertainment, steps into the spotlight. The debut announcement has stirred excitement, especially considering the seven-year gap since YG Entertainment introduced BLACKPINK. As the clock ticks down to midnight on November 27, the anticipation continues to build for what promises to be a memorable debut.
