BABYMONSTER lacked people but still "stole the hit" of BLACKPINK very smoothly, fans praised it

Even though they only have 6 members, BABYMONSTER still gave their all in their recent show. What caught the attention of music fans was that the group covered the 2 billion view hit of their seniors.

On May 18, BABYMONSTER had a successful concert as part of their Hello Monster tour in Singapore. The group's cover of two songs associated with BLACKPINK - Kil.l This Love and As If It's Your Last - was the highlight of the concert.

Known to the public for their top-notch live performance and visual-worthy looks, BABYMONSTER's special stage quickly gained attention. This was a gift that the group dedicated to their fans in Singapore.

The 6 girls not only covered their seniors' hits but also added their own style. It was their creativity that made the performance more attractive than ever. What stole the spotlight in this performance was the slogan "BLACKPINK in your area" - a familiar mark in most of Black Pink's songs, which BABYMONSTER cleverly transformed into "BAEMON in your area".

The small but subtle changes help the group create a personal mark and make the cover more interesting. However, this is not too new in the Kpop idol world. Because when covering BLACKPINK's songs, many other groups often change the slogan to suit their own.

For example, TREASURE recently recreated their senior's 2 billion view hit at a concert and changed the first line to "TREASURE in your area". EVERGLOW also did the same for their performance of "How You Like That" in 2022. In addition, the bo.y group ZEROBASEONE performed "DDU-DU DDU-DU" at KCON in LA in 2024 and even changed the rap part of their group name "BLACKPINK" to "Z1".

But to be fair, BABYMONSTER's performance was impeccable. Many viewers were delighted and humorously commented that the group had "stolen" their senior's hit in a spectacular way. Some even praised that only YG's "chickens" could cover YG's hit well.

It is known that this is not the first time BABYMONSTER has covered a song by their seniors in the YG family. Previously, the group had a dance cover mashup of songs associated with 2NE1 that took social networks by storm when participating in the company's Last Evaluation program.

On May 31, BABYMONSTER will officially have their first meeting with Vietnamese fans at a concert in Ho Chi Minh City. Although member Rami was absent due to health reasons, that did not reduce the excitement of fans for the group's debut. On the contrary, many fans expect "BLACKPINK's little sister" to bring a special surprise just for them, similar to what she did for fans in Singapore.

Speaking more about "Kil.l This Love", the MV of the song was released in April 2019, is one of the products that plays an important role in bringing BLACKPINK's name to the international market. It is also the product that "brands" the most Black Pink colors, containing a series of "iconic" moments of the 4 girls.

The powerful warrior style and the message of "killin.g love" are clearly expressed through the hip-hop mix with exaggerated drum and trumpet sounds, creating a "heavy" but impressive song from the first listen. At the time of promoting "Kil.l This Love", BLACKPINK "clashed" with the two biggest rivals in the music industry - BTS and TWICE, creating an extremely dramatic "battle" on the charts.

As of August 31, 2024, the MV "Kil.l This Love" has reached the milestone of 2 billion views on the YouTube platform. With this achievement, BLACKPINK has become the first Kpop group, and also the first gir.l group in the world to own 2 MVs reaching the milestone of 2 billion views. Previously, the MV "DDU-DU DDU-DU" of the 4 girls had successfully done this and reached the milestone of 3 billion.

Up to now, 6 years have passed since the release of "Kil.l This Love". But Rosé's high note, Lisa - Jennie's rap part and the highlight choreography with the explosive brick wall are still the most unforgettable moments for BLINKs. As an MV ranked as a Kpop icon, "Kil.l This Love" has become a model for many groups to refer to when pursuing a strong, individual concept.
