"BLACKPINK's younger sister" clearly imitated Lisa, dreaming of going viral like her senior

After causing controversy for changing BABYMONSTER's debut date on the homepage, YG continued to attract attention when releasing a teaser introducing the group's theme MV. After watching, netizens thought Lisa was solo.

At 0:00 on March 28 (Korean time), YG released a teaser "teasing" BABYMONSTER's upcoming theme MV. The group will officially return with a 7-member lineup with their first mini album "BABYMONS7ER" and MV "Sheesh".

The 20-second teaser reveals an extremely mysterious image playing with a powerful and explosive melody. Quickly brought in more than 1.2 million views after nearly half a day of release.

According to the released image, BABYMONSTER's concept this time is a bit fancy, luxurious and "cool". However, if you are a BLACKPINK fan, the teaser will bring a sense of deja vu because it looks extremely familiar. 20 seconds of just filming the mysterious footsteps behind a member.

More worth mentioning, the "Sheesh" MV teaser also repeats the angle of Lisa's LALISA solo MV that "broke" in 2021. Borrowing BLACKPINK's already viral image for BABYMONSTER caused fans of both groups to argue.

People immediately asked the question, is it because of the ambition to create a second BLACKPINK?

On the other hand, YG also clearly favors "copy Jennie" in this comeback. Not only did they introduce Ahyeon as the vedette of the promotion, changing the date and time of BABYMONSTER's debut, but the company also let the female idol perform the only song revealed through the teaser.

Considered a "trump card", Ahyeon once caused YG stocks to plummet when she did not participate in the debut with "Batter Up". Therefore, she was "pushed" to the sky when she announced her return to the lineup on April 1. The powerful voice of "Jennie clone" is considered to be YG's color, but whether she has the ability to "carry" the team or not, we have to wait until the end to understand.

However, the unreleased "Sheesh" has had some predictions that this is a difficult song to absorb, at risk of "holding back" BABYMONSTER on the digital music charts.

YG's characteristics are strong, hip-hop, but without Teddy's contribution, music is the rookie group's flaw. On the contrary, the intro of this mini album is quite expected, soon going viral just through highlight medly.

In this year's "great rookie war", HYBE's new g.irl group, ILLIT, is temporarily leading with an eye-catching and eye-catching debut. It can be said that HYBE is extremely "cool" with g.irl groups and is succeeding in creating trending music.

On March 25, ILLIT - HYBE's "youngest girl" - officially debuted with EP Super Real Me and MV Magnetic. Coming out of the survival show "RU Next", ILLIT finalized the lineup of 5 members including: Wonhee, Minju, Yunah, Iroha and Moka. Gathering 5 young girls pursuing a youthful, slightly magical concept like the "new breeze" of Kpop.

Thanks to a solid launch pad from HYBE, ILLIT's music and image are carefully invested down to every detail. The rookie group's debut product is gaining positive momentum after only 3 days of official launch. According to the latest update, "NewJeans' little sister" sold 200 thousand album copies on Hanteo.

Moreover, ILLIT also set a record for being the only Kpop g.irl group to reach the top of Spotify Global on the first day of releasing their debut product. With 2.1 million listens, the group is currently at #50 on Spotify's Global Chart - an increase of 110 places. This is a formidable achievement for a female rookie who debuted less than a week ago.

Besides, the MV "Magnetic" also reached 14 million views in just 2 days. In the context of the rise of streaming, YouTube views of Kpop groups have decreased. But the debut MV of "the youngest g.irl HYBE" is currently trending #2 on Korean YouTube in the music industry, showing that the public is quite receptive to this product.

In terms of achievements, ILLIT has a favorable starting point for its first product. Compared to HYBE's female rookie, "BLACKPINK's younger sister" debuted a bit more out of breath. "Batter Up" was not invested in promotion, Hip-hop music was considered old and almost "invisible" on domestic charts.

BABYMONSTER prevailed on the YouTube front with more than 22.5 million views in the first 24 hours, setting a new generation g.irl group record. But overall, "Batter Up" is still a lackluster product. ILLIT is ahead when it comes to launch effects.
