[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The second member of the group 'BABYMONSTER' has been revealed through a video.
On the 16th, YG Entertainment posted the second live video of BABYMONSTER, 'BABYMONSTER (#2) - AHYEON (Live Performance)', on their official blog.
Following Haram, the revealed member Ahyeon is also 15 years old. Ahyeon showcased explosive rap skills and outstanding singing ability while performing Saweetie & GALXARA's 'Sway With Me'.
BABYMONSTER is a rookie girl group released by YG about seven years after BLACKPINK. It is a multinational group including foreign members, mostly composed of teenagers. Specific details such as debut format, final number of members, and concept have not yet been disclosed.
As Yang Hyunsuk, the general producer, appeared for the first time in three years and six months to personally announce BABYMONSTER's debut, global music fans' expectations are focused on them.
In fact, the three teaser contents released since the rookie girl group project launch announcement on January 1 have surpassed a combined 40 million views, maintaining an upward trend.
From the early stages of the teasers, YG showed confidence in BABYMONSTER by releasing live videos. Live performances of other trainees will also be released sequentially.
YG stated, "BABYMONSTER members are still trainees who have not debuted. We believe that being evaluated purely on their skills without any prejudice is the most important thing to be recognized as singers. Rather than concept photos or interviews, we wanted to show their raw skills without any filtering first. We hope people will evaluate them coldly as they see and hear."
