BABYMONSTER makes an unexpected move, ambitious to be the top of Gen 5, ILLIT is cautious

In the near future, BABYMONSTER will regain its glory after being "overtaken" by ILLIT at the 2024 MAMA Awards. This shows the group's huge ambition to lead Gen 5.

BABYMONSTER is known as YG Entertainment's "monster rookie" and is also a girl group next to BLACKPINK. Debuting on April 1, 2024, although not very successful in their home country, the group quickly created a buzz in Japan - a market that is considered quite difficult.

Many people commented that this is a breakthrough development, proving the talent and appeal of the 7 YG girls that is not just any girl group that their competitors must be wary of. And to consolidate their position as a top girl group, they have scheduled appearances on 3 famous music shows in the land of cherry blossoms.

According to YG Entertainment, BABYMONSTER will kick off the series of events on November 29 with a live performance on TV Asahi's flagship program Music Station. They will then appear on NHK's "VENUE101" on November 30 and finally Fuji TV's "Weekly Ninety-Nine Music" on December 11.

It is known that when participating in this Top 3 Japanese music program, "BLACKPINK's younger sister" will demonstrate her ability to sing live, which has become a trademark, using a handheld microphone. The songs chosen to perform are from their debut album "Drip" and the group will sing entirely in Korean.

Starting early next year, 2025, BABYMONSTER will embark on their first world tour. Opening at Seoul's KSPO Dome and then spreading to Japan and North America. However, the group also faces many challenges during this time when many famous names release music or make comebacks.

First of all, we have to mention the senior who is almost from the same house as the YG "rookie", Rosé. On December 6, she will release a solo album called "rosie" with 12 tracks with the songs: Number One Girl, 3am, Two Years, Toxic Till The End, Drinks Or Coffee, APT., Gameboy, Stay A Little Longer, Not The Same, Call It The End, Too Bad For Us and Dance All Night.

With the current appeal of the "Australian rose", many believe that her debut solo album will create a strong effect from Korea to the international market. This is said to threaten BABYMONSTER's first tour. Not only Rosé, but Lisa will also release an album in her career at the end of February next year. In addition, Jisoo is preparing for a solo comeback, predicted to be at the end of this year or early 2025.

In addition, girl group Izna, who came out of the survival show "I-Land 2", has just debuted in the Kpop entertainment industry, while the 7 girls from YG have not yet established themselves in the domestic market, making fans worried. However, fans still believe that the group will complete the upcoming tour well, affirming their position as the top Gen 5.

Recently, BABYMONSTER officially released the album "Drip" and the MV for the songs "Drip" on YouTube. This is introduced as the group's first full album since their debut, consisting of 9 tracks, including 7 new songs: "Clik Clak", "Drip", "Love, Maybe", "Really Like You", "Billionaire", "Love In My Heart", "Woke Up In Tokyo", and the released song "Forever", along with a remix of "Batter Up".

After its release, BABYMONSTER's debut album achieved great success not only in Korea but also in important Kpop markets such as Japan and North America - something not every rookie group can do.

Specifically, in the land of cherry blossoms, the 7 girls from YG have topped the iTunes "Top Album Chart" and the "Top 100 Real-Time Album Chart" on Line Music, the country's largest streaming platform. In North America, they have stayed on the Billboard chart for 3 consecutive weeks. At this rate, the group will soon regain their glory.
