BABYMONSTER "bruised" by YG, taking a risk to kick out BLACKPINK despite limited ability

Although it has only been launched for 1 year, BABYMONSTER's ambition to affirm its name and promote its image to a global audience is extremely large. However, many people believe that BABYMONSTER's ability is still not guaranteed.

YG girl group BABYMONSTER has revealed their tour titled " Hello Monsters ". The tour will kick off in Seoul in January 2025, followed by stops in New Jersey (USA) in February 2025 and Los Angeles (USA) in March 2025. Additional cities and dates will be revealed by BABYMONSTER soon.

Previously, BABYMONSTER has been trying to implement strategies to maintain the group's appeal. The group appeared on SBS's "Running Man" as well as on music shows, radio, and YouTube. It can be said that in late 2024 and early 2025, BABYMONSTER has many ambitions to affirm its name as well as promote the group's image to a global audience.

After YG announced the schedule for BABYMONSTER's first tour in their career, many netizens expressed concerns about the success of this project. It is known that BABYMONSTER officially debuted on November 27, 2023, up to now, BLACKPINK 's junior group has only been active for about 1 year.

Over the past year, the continuous debut of a series of rookie groups has been a major obstacle for BABYMONSTER to position its brand in the extremely competitive Kpop market.

Despite having great support from YG - one of the leading entertainment companies in Korea today and famous as "BLACKPINK's little sister", BABYMONSTER still hasn't been able to make an explosion in the early stages of their career.

Regarding the music story, up to now, BABYMONSTER has released 1 EP (7 tracks) and 1 full album called DRIP including 9 songs, this is an acceptable number of songs for a rookie group like BABYMONSTER. However, the group's musical color is still quite faint and is greatly influenced by their senior BLACKPINK, so if you want to choose a real hit song of BABYMONSTER, it seems that there is none.

Not only that, the online community also believes that for a band to be able to "fly" in a world tour, in addition to having a stable number of songs, the band needs to have good results in the domestic market to be able to create a buzz and be convincing enough for the audience to spend money to buy tickets to attend.

With BABYMONSTER, the songs that the group has released over the past time have not yet created a breakthrough or set a record on the digital music charts in Korea, the group still has a stable fan base but is not as strong as other groups of the same generation. Therefore, it can be said that BABYMONSTER's coverage in the domestic market is still not really large.

In addition, a huge minus point for YG in the direction of developing the rookie group is not arranging for BABYMONSTER to attend award shows and year-end music events. Netizens expressed shock and anger at YG Entertainment's way of managing the group.

For example, recently, the performance line-up for the MAMA 2024 event was officially announced, but BABYMONSTER was not on the list even though this is a group with a very good "support" from YG. Or in the list of the performance lineup at the Melon Music Awards 2024 (MMA), while other rookie groups all have their own performance stages, BABYMONSTER does not!

At the same time, many opinions also question whether YG is indifferent in promoting the image of the rookie group. Because remember in the first year of BLACKPINK's debut, the 4 girls had for themselves explosive performances at major award ceremonies, completely different from the quiet, gloomy situation of their juniors BABYMONSTER at the present time.

While there are still many more Awards to go and some are hoping BABYMONSTER will be announced, fans admit that the first year of their debut is when groups need to appear at events, especially those that are popular with fans around the world, to increase their recognition.

BABYMONSTER "follows" the comebacks of BLACKPINK and 2NE1, and will tour around the world Thiên Di16:02:09 22/07/2024Renowned for their electrifying live performances, BABYMONSTER has received praise from music enthusiasts worldwide. Fans are looking forward to the female rookies' world tour.
