BABYMONSTER announced the world tour schedule, YG invested heavily but was still said to be at a disadvantage

YG gir.l group Bab.y Monster has revealed their tour titled "Hello Monsters". The tour will kick off in January 2025 in Seoul, followed by stops in New Jersey (USA) in February 2025 and Los Angeles (USA) in March 2025.

Other cities and dates will be revealed soon by Bab.y Monster. Before that, Bab.y Monster 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, Bab.y Monster has many ambitions to affirm their name as well as promote the group's image to global audiences. Since their debut, the group has always been "labeled" as Blackpink's juniors. This also puts a lot of pressure on the girls of Bab.y Monster because they are easily compared and put on the scale with their seniors.

Recently, BABYMONSTER attracted attention from the audience when returning to the music race with a new song called DRIP, closing an impressive year after a spectacular comeback in 2024.

However, the end of the year is approaching, this is the time when most domestic and international award ceremonies begin to be held. Recently, netizens have raised concerns and expressed anger towards YG Entertainment because BABYMONSTER did not appear at the award ceremonies.

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!

Netizens noticed that BABYMONSTER has never been announced to attend any Awards Ceremony since their comeback this year and expressed shock and anger at YG Entertainment's management of the group.

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.

According to a report from IZE on November 6, BABYMONSTER's double title track CLIK CLAK from their debut studio album DRIP was determined by KBS's music review board to be ineligible for broadcast.

According to KBS's music evaluation policy, songs that receive an unqualified rating can be resubmitted after editing or removing problematic parts. Only songs that are rated as qualified in the evaluation can be played on KBS programs (TV, radio, etc.).

The song CLIK CLAK by "BLACKPINK's little sister" was found to violate Article 46 of KBS's Broadcast Review Regulations, which restricts advertising effects in song lyrics because it mentions specific product brands. This means that BABYMONSTER will not be able to perform this song on KBS's weekly music program Music Bank.

However, the remaining double title track - DRIP and other songs included in the album such as: Love, Maybe, Really Like You, BILLIONAIRE, Love In My Heart, Woke Up In Tokyo (RUKA & ASA) and BATTER UP (Remix) all received qualified ratings.

Bab.y Monster, also known as Baemon, is a South Korean gir.l group formed by YG Entertainment. The group consists of 7 members: Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rami, Rora, and Chiquita. The full lineup of BabyMonster officially debuted on April 1, 2024 with the EP "BABYMONS7ER".
