BABYMONSTER is a member of the fifth-generation monster rookies, however, netizens are expressing concerns about their future with the impending debut of MEOVV, the first-ever girl group from THEBLACKLABEL.
On August 22, K-netz created a forum called “BABYMONSTER Is Facing Issues.”
The writer expressed concern over BABYMONSTER’s momentum and asserted that MEOVV embodies more of the same energy as BLACKPINK, acting as their “sister group.”
“It’s going to be difficult for them to gain domestic fans since the current fourth-generation groups are still going strong. They would need to gain international fans, but it seems like the momentum that was supposed to go from BLACKPINK to Baemon is now shifting to MEOVV.”
MEOVV suits that image way more. Even though Baemon was introduced as BLACKPINK’s sister group, the match doesn’t quite feel right.
On the other hand, this new group gives off that ‘BP sister group’ vibe. I can see them getting luxury brand ambassador deals easily because their vibe is just insane.”
Some K-Netz have commented that BABYMONSTER’s debut was prolonged, resulting in a loss of anticipation. Additional discussions revolved around BABYMONSTER’s level of fame and the quality of their music. Scroll down to see their comments.
- “BaeMon dragged things out way too long from the start. The excitement just fizzled out.”
- “MEOVV is Teddy’s first girl group, and the synergy seems stronger, especially since they introduced Ella as the first member. But we’ll have to wait and see when they debut.”
- “MEOVV really does feel like BP’s true junior group. I know BaeMon is talented, but they don’t give off the same vibe BP did when they first debuted.”
- “Plus, the group has too many members, their group name, music videos, and the songs are all tacky. I just feel bad for members like Ahyeon and Chiquita.”
- “Yang Hyun Suk should get it together and put out good songs to really develop the group.”
- “Honestly, BP’s real sister group does seem to be this new group.”
- “BaeMon just doesn’t have much star power. Yang Hyunsuk’s style has this old-fashioned vibe, and it makes me not want to listen to the music.”
- “To be blunt, I haven’t seen a single friend of mine add songs like ‘BATTER UP’ to their playlist.”
Despite the claims, BABYMONSTER was defended by fans on X (Twitter), showing disagreement.
Babymonster will be fine Yg just has to play his cards right. They need more impact in Korea https://t.co/L7ZjyFP3sj
