YG Entertainment, one of South Korea's leading entertainment agencies, is set to debut its new girl group, Babymonster. The final five members of the group will be unveiled on May 12, following a rigorous evaluation process that began in January of this year. Babymonster is expected to be YG Entertainment's first new girl group in nearly seven years, following the massive success of its quartet, Blackpink.
The evaluation process, which has been broadcast on YG's official YouTube channel over the past four months, featured seven pre-debut members who vied for the final five spots. The members include three Korean members - Ahyeon, Haram, and Rora - two Thai members - Parita and Chiquita - and two Japanese members - Ruka and Asa.
The final members will be chosen from this multinational pool, and just like Blackpink, Babymonster is expected to be a global sensation. The group has been planned from the start as a five-piece unit, according to YG's founder and executive producer, Yang Hyun-suk. In a recent episode of Babymonster's debut evaluation series, Hyun-suk said, "We'll announce the final members publicly at midnight on May 12."
The evaluation process has been a months-long affair, with the members showcasing their skills in singing, dancing, and overall stage presence. In the latest episode of the evaluation series, the seven girls performed to 2NE1's "Can't Nobody," a hit song from YG's popular girl group. The girls showcased their unique choreography and individual talents, bringing the spotlight to each of the members.
Babymonster's debut has been highly anticipated by K-Pop fans worldwide, and YG Entertainment has spared no expense in promoting the group. The group's name itself is a clever combination of "baby" and "monster," signifying the members' youthful energy and fierce talent. The debut date for Babymonster has not yet been announced, but it is expected to be within 2023.
The emergence of Babymonster as a multinational girl group marks a significant milestone in the global rise of K-Pop music. YG Entertainment has a reputation for producing some of the most popular K-Pop acts in recent years, and Babymonster is expected to continue that trend. The group's debut will be closely watched by K-Pop fans worldwide, eager to see the next big thing in the genre.
