BABYMONSTER “It’s an honor to be called BLACKPINK’s younger sister group + YG DNA is our color”
Rookie girl group BABYMONSTER expressed their determination to stand in front of K-pop fans with a rich "YG DNA"
At midnight on April 1st, BABYMONSTER released their first mini-album “BABYMONS7ER”. BABYMONSTER, who met Ilgan Sports at the YG Entertainment (hereafter YG) headquarters in Hapjeong-dong, Seoul on the day of the album release, shared their thoughts on their distinctive music style and the nickname “BLACKPINK’s younger sister group”.
BABYMONSTER debuted last year with “BATTER UP” as YG’s first girl group in 7 years after BLACKPINK. With the addition of all-rounder member Ahyeon for this mini-album, they announced their official debut.
Regarding being recognized as “BLACKPINK’s younger sister group”, Rami said, “It’s an honor. Thanks to that, many people are paying attention to us. I really think it’s a huge honor, and I’m grateful.”
Rora commented on BABYMONSTER’s unique color differentiating them from BLACKPINK, “I think YG DNA is our color. Like YG DNA, it’s hip, teen-friendly and has plenty of room for growth. I think that’s our charm.“
Asa added, “There are wonderful seniors at YG who have great stage presence and skills. We’re practicing hard to be like our seniors. We’re working hard to show what we can do.”
The title track “SHEESH” is an impressive song with lyrics full of confidence and grand sounds, with a catchy chorus that rhythmically repeats, followed by captivating rapping and explosive vocals, creating an exhilarating thrill with non-stop mood transitions.
BABYMONSTER plans to meet fans worldwide through various activities, including music broadcast programs, fan sign events and a fan meeting tour in five Asian regions. Especially, they will also perform on the stage of “Summer Sonic 2024” on August 18th.
