BABTMONSTER
YG Entertainment’s rookie girl group BABYMONSTER is proving its strong global popularity on YouTube, with the final announcement of the first members scheduled for May 12.
According to YG Entertainment on May 9, educational content related to BABYMONSTER uploaded to YouTube exceeded 400 million views (Babymonster and YG Entertainment‘s YouTube channel) as of 2:20 p.m. the day before. It has been around 127 days since the first launch teaser was released on January 1.
It’s a feat as a trainee who hasn’t even made her official debut on YouTube, becoming one of the mainstays of the global music market. From the teaser that announced the start of the project, to the introduction of each potential member, a scene that shows overwhelming skills, and “Last Evaluation,” which contains the final debut process, have captivated music fans around the world.
Looking at the current state of comments by country in the actual video, the distribution of popularity across the world is remarkable. Not only in North and South America, but also in European countries and Asia, the group receives favorable reviews. The number of subscribers, which is an indicator of the formation of fandoms, is also overwhelming. It topped 2 million in 129 days after the channel opened, setting a new record for the shortest period for K-pop girl groups.
In addition, major foreign media are also focusing on BABYMONSTER. Billboard, an American music media, selected them as “K-pop artists to pay attention to” and predicted good results, saying, “This will create a new wave in the K-pop genre.” The NME, a famous British music magazine, continues to take care of their performance videos and shows extraordinary expectations.
BABYMONSTER is a new girl group introduced by YG Entertainment about seven years after Blackpink. Three Koreans (Ahyeon, Haram, Rora), two Thais (Pharita, Chiquita) and two Japanese (Ruka, Asa) should be “versatile” with voice, dance, rap and visual. The first final member will be announced at midnight on May 12th.
