More about YG Entertainment's new girl group BABYMONSTER
A month ago, in September 2023, YG Entertainment announced that their much-awaited girl group was getting ready for its much-expected premiere. On social media, a teaser for their debut has been released, along with a new logo for the group and a "coming soon" note from BABYMONSTER.
According to YG's chairman Yang Hyuk-suk, there has been a small delay from the September 2023 debut that was originally scheduled. In their press release in September 2023, YG Entertainment expressed their heartfelt regret for this and emphasized the meticulous steps they had taken to guarantee a first-rate lead track, as reported by The Korea Times.
Fans have been speculating about the lineup of YG Entertainment's new rookie group and are becoming increasingly concerned that Ahyeon may not be included. This rumor gained traction after fans noticed Ahyeon's absence from the rookie group's recent activities, and just six members were seen during BLACKPINK's recent BORN PINK concert.
In order to become a member of the rookie group, a number of aspirant talents had to compete to become trainees for YG Entertainment through a rigorous selection procedure. The final roster for the reality program Last Evaluation was decided by Yang Hyun Suk, the founder of YG Entertainment, Lee Su-hyun of AKMU, Kang Seung-yoon of Winner, and Lee Seung-hoon.
Fans of the new girl group, BABYMONSTER, are waiting for November 27, 2023, when the group will make its official debut with a song and a music video.
