MEOVV and BABYMONSTER embarrass BLACKPINK fans instead of being compared, no door

The rookie girl group MEOVV has just debuted, making Kpop fans immediately think of the image of BlackPink, hoping to follow their seniors in the future, just like BabyMonster once hoped. However, all thoughts quickly collapsed, when they were too lame.

MEOVV has just released the MV Meow but the achievement is quite modest, even though the song is produced by Teddy - the person behind countless BlackPink hits. Similarly, Baby Monster - YG Entertainment's new group - also did not explode as expected. Korean media said that it is difficult for two new groups to achieve success like BlackPink.

MEOVV consists of five members, Ella Gross, Gawon, Sooin, Anna and Narin, who are recruited and trained directly by the "music wizard" Teddy. Teddy is known as a cult K-pop music producer who is behind Big Bang's hit series, 2NE1, and BlackPink.

The songs that helped BlackPink become famous globally such as Boombayah, Ddu-du Ddu-du, Kill this love, How you like that, Pink Venom... were all "molded" by Teddy.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the MEOVV girls became the focus of attention when they debuted under the solid support of Teddy and The Black Label. It seems that the expectations are too high to disappoint the public with MEOVV's debut MV. The song Meow stopped at No. 53 Bugs, 126 Genie and lost its attraction from the Melon top 100.

The reason why Meow is controversial is because it is too similar to BlackPink's music. "Sounds like BlackPink... a little disappointed", "Such a structured song BlackPink has been doing for years. The music does not feel as fresh as rookie groups", "The song is not as I expected" - comments from the audience on the Theqoo forum.

The song Meow is a "branded" Teddy mix with the main rap - hip hop material. The rushing bass and electronic sound remind listeners of the previously successful songs of the four BlackPink girls.

The familiar and even somewhat boring formula made MEOVV lose points in the eyes of the audience. Many people even think that Teddy wasted the talent of the five girls by framing them in such an unremarkable song.

Sharing the same fate as MEOVV, the girl group Baby Monster is also often put on the scale compared to BlackPink because they debuted under the "big man" YG Entertainment.

Right from the group's name, YG Entertainment showed its ambition to create a second BlackPink by combining two words with a cute and strong meaning, "baby - monster", similar to "black - pink"

Baby Monster debuted with MV Batter up on 26-11-2023. However, the performance of the seven girls was inferior to MEOVV when they only reached the 140th Genie rank and did not enter any other major Korean music charts.

Not successful in terms of digital music, but the Baby Monster girls own up to five MVs with more than 100 million views, namely Forever, Like that, Batter up, Sheesh and Stuck in the middle, showing the great attraction of the 5th gen group.

Despite owning songs with hundreds of millions of views, Baby Monster has not been able to break through like NewJeans because there is no innovation in music.

In Baby Monster's songs, there are only repetitive lyrics and rushing electronic music, YG Entertainment's timeless formula. That's why nearly a year after the group's debut, it's still called "BlackPink's sister".

According to Koreaboo, up to 100 groups debut every year, so creating their own colors is extremely important. If they continue to follow the music that has created BlackPink's success, both MEOVV and Baby Monster will find it difficult to survive in a harsh market like K-pop.

However, there are also many opinions that it is unfair to impose BlackPink's success on two new groups because of the timing of the debut of different groups.

In fact, BlackPink also took years to prove that they are not a copy of 2NE1's seniors. Therefore, the audience expects MEOVV and Baby Monster to affirm their own qualities and shine more brightly in the near future.

BLACKPINK was released by YG when she was paired with a sensitive video, BABYMONSTER didn't?
