BABYMONSTER launches Kpop, top 1 ice climbing, a series of competitors close the door to comparison

Recently, BABYMONSTER - YG's female rookie has just returned with her debut full album Drip and the theme MV of the same name. The album's global release was well received as it quickly climbed the charts worldwide.

According to the Circle Album Chart (formerly Gaon Chart) announcing the charts for this week's update, BABYMONSTER's first full-length album "Drip" released on November 1, debuted at No. 1 on the chart, with 444,674 copies sold. This achievement helps strengthen the group's attraction and their efforts in 1 week of this album's release.

Recently, BABYMONSTER has been focusing on strategies to promote the image and music products that the group is reducing. In addition to participating in many music shows, the group also plans to tour as well as participate in TV game shows.

BABYMONSTER will perform on various stages, including the two title tracks Drip and Clik Clak along with the next song Love In My Heart. Starting next year, they will expand their global reach with their first world tour.

Although it is a girl group in Korea's leading entertainment empire, BABYMONSTER has continuously encountered "misfortunes" after launching new products. First, on Kpop forums, choreographer Drip caused mixed opinions. Ahyeon's performance - the ace of BABYMONSTER attracted the most debate. As the member with the most private lines in Drip, Ahyeon's performance energy is considered to be unimpressive, superficial movements, making it possible.

Not stopping there, recently, according to Korean media, the song "Clik Clak" in BABYMONSTER's first full-length album "Drip" was determined by the music review board of KBS Korea to be ineligible for broadcasting. This means that BABYMONSTER will not be able to perform this song on KBS's weekly music program Music Bank.

According to Koreaboo, the 7-member girl group BABYMONSTER (Rami, Ruka, Rora, Asa, Ahyeon, Pharita, Chiquita) has been predicted to explode since their debut at the end of last year. This is considered a music group that converges all talented faces with outstanding singing ability and beauty.

However, fans have repeatedly complained about YG Entertainment's promotional strategy for the group. They think that BABYMONSTER has wasted its potential because of the company's wrong plans.

For the group's debut through the single "Batter Up", BABYMONSTER was not allowed to perform on weekly music shows in South Korea - a potential stage for rookie groups. YG only released a video of BABYMONSTER's performance on YouTube.

Coming to "Sheesh", it was not until 1 week after the release of the song that BABYMONSTER had a stage to perform the first live show. The girls only performed on 2 shows, M! Countdown and Inkigayo.

In addition, "Batter Up" and "Sheesh" were both released on Mondays, which are not popular choices for today's modern Kpop music products. As the U.S. market becomes important, K-pop companies often let artists release songs on Fridays or weekends, with the goal of conquering the Billboard charts.

While BABYMONSTER has a better international record at home, YG should have focused on overseas promotion to gain more fans and reap new achievements, YG did not take advantage of this.

After fan complaints, to BABYMONSTER's album "Drip", YG released it on Friday (November 1, 2024). But the launch time is at 1 p.m. This time is not popular because people are still at school or working.

There are also rumors that BABYMONSTER members' posts are restricted on Weverse. YG is said to be maintaining a "mysterious image" promotion for BABYMONSTER. On theqoo online community, Korean audiences criticized YG for their outdated ways.
