BABYMONSTER, NewJeans "compete" on the red carpet, explosive visual, no one is willing to lose

SBS Gayo Daejeon 2024 is considered to have the best lineup in history since its organization because it brings together 29 top names from 4 generations of K-Pop. The red carpet is a premium visual feast when gathering the "beauty walls" of the new generation.

The 2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon year-end music festival was held at Inspire Arena in Incheon on the afternoon of December 25. Before the official start of the music festival, the red carpet of SBS Gayo Daejeon attracted a lot of attention from Kpop fans.

This year, SBS stunned the audience when it announced a lineup of 29 Kpop groups and solo artists. Among them are famous names from many generations such as G-Dragon, 2NE1, Stray Kids, NewJeans, aespa, IVE, (G)I-DLE, LE SSERAFIM, Baby Monster, ILLIT, TXT, NCT Dream, NCT 127, Treasure, Enhypen, RIIZE, Lee Young Ji...

NewJeans dressed simply and pretty, with makeup tones and freshness that helped the group exude a sweet, girl-next-door look. All five members posed playfully on the red carpet. NewJeans all wore outfits from the latest collection (Spring - Summer 2025) by Shushu/Tong. On the red carpet of SBS Gayo Daejeon last year, NewJeans also wore white and black dresses from the brand's Spring 2024 collection.

In 2023, LE SSERAFIM were in sync in sexy body-hugging black dresses. At the red carpet of SBS Gayo Daejeon 2024, the group brought boldness and personality with outfits with studded designs or cut-outs to show off the waist.

BABYMONSTER appeared elegant and beautiful like a lady, contrasting with the Hip-Hop style in music. The group sang a cappella part of Christmas Without You (a song BABYMONSTER once covered) on the red carpet.

NMIXX wore matching black outfits, which were criticized more for being ugly than complimented, while Lily, Sullyoon, and Haewon's outfits were criticized for being "degrading". The group's stylist disappointed everyone by choosing nude makeup tones, making everyone look pale under the flashbulbs of the media. Luckily, NMIXX's bright, fresh visuals saved the outfit.

aespa literally and figuratively shined when they stepped out in long white dresses that still showed off their long legs and slim shoulders. The four girls are considered goddesses because of their "perfect" visuals. Winter is making the fan community go crazy with her lip piercing.

IVE added another sparkling red carpet look when they stepped out like dolls in white and gold outfits. Yujin stood in the center, "out of place" in a long black evening gown. But this arrangement did not cause controversy because the female idol was also in charge of the MC position so she did not have time to change. After appearing with IVE, Yujin walked the red carpet once again with her 2 "co-hosts" Doyoung (NCT) and Yeonjun (TXT).

Many viewers commented that the artist lineup for the 2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon is the most impressive lineup of this event ever. Some comments compared the event to a YG Entertainment family concert, as artists from the 2nd to 4th generation of YG were present. However, G-Dragon and 2NE1 did not appear on the red carpet before the show.

Regarding the performances in SBS Gayo Daejeon 2024, 2NE1 had a fairly simple performance, including support dancers, LED screen effects and sparks. However, the "fighting" of the 4 members filled the gap, blowing up the atmosphere of the show.

The group performed 5 hits: Come Back Home, Fire, I Don't Care, UGLY and ended with I Am The Best. The ability to sing live and dominate the stage of YG's "girl group legend" is beyond dispute. What surprised and delighted fans was that Park Bom also danced her heart out throughout the set. Because in recent concerts, fans have become too familiar with the image of Park Bom skipping the dance part, just feeling the music to ensure live singing due to her weak physical strength.

BIGBANG's leader started the performance with POWER, then appeared on a throne with a chrysanthemum symbol missing one petal of himself to the tune of Sober and Crooked.

Previously wearing the crown at MAMA 2024, now sitting comfortably on the throne, the audience believes that this is G-Dragon's way of affirming his position as the "King of K-Pop" that has never faded.

BABYMONSTER "empty-handed" watched ILLIT snatch the trophy, worthy of the title of the worst rookie of the year Đức Trí11:30:18 05/01/2025Although she is an outstanding rookie of the YG family, she is put a lot of enthusiasm and investment by the big man, and is even considered BlackPink's younger sister. But after 1 year in 2024, Baby Monster still has a faint and empty-handed group in many award ceremonies.
