✨ K-POP of the Week❗Ktown4u Pick❗: YG's treasure box is open! HOT Debut, BABYMONSTER
From the beginning of 2023 to the end of the year! There's a group that received a lot of attention from K-POP fans throughout the year, right? It's 'BABYMONSTER'! It's the first girl group presented by YG Entertainment in about 7 years since BLACKPINK, so I remember all the K-POP fans around me talking about BABYMONSTER for a while when thier debut launch news was announced earlier this year. 😲

After the release of the members' practice videos and the debut survival show 'Last Evaluation', the buzz just couldn't stop. And now, finally, at 00:00 AM (KST) on November 27th, BABYMONSTER's song dropped! Have you all checked out 'BATTER UP'? Can you believe they're rookies with those killer vocals? Personally, I think just like every artist from YG Entertainment has their unique flair, BABYMONSTER is about to carve out their own new genre. I'm super excited about what they'll bring to the table next! 😄 For those of you who haven't heard 'BATTER UP' yet, you've gotta catch up! Check it out on BABYMONSTER's official SNSs and music platforms ASAP!
