YG BABYMONSTER to announce final debut members on the 12th… YouTube teaser reaches 400 million views ↑
[뉴스1=황미현 기자] YG’s new girl group BABYMONSTER is proving its strong global popularity on YouTube ahead of the announcement of the final debut members on the 12th.
According to YG Entertainment on the 9th, BABYMONSTER-related teaser content uploaded on YouTube surpassed 400 million views (combined BABYMONSTER∙YG official YouTube) at around 2:20 pm the previous day. It has been about 127 days since the first launching teaser was posted on January 1st.
This achievement was made by trainees who have not yet made their official debut on YouTube, which is responsible for one axis of the global music market trend. From the teaser that announced the start of the project, individual introductions of the prospective members, stages where overwhelming skills can be seen, and the ‘Last Evaluation’ that captured the final debut process, the teaser content alone captured the hearts of global music fans.
In fact, if you look at the comments by country in the video, the popularity distribution that extends throughout the world stands out. Praise is pouring in evenly from North and South America, European countries, and Asia. The number of subscribers, which serves as an indicator of fandom formation, is also overwhelming. Breaking 2 million subscribers in 129 days since the channel’s establishment, it achieved the shortest record for a K-pop girl group.
In addition, influential foreign media are also focusing on BABYMONSTER. The US music magazine Billboard selected them as ‘K-pop artists to watch’ and predicted a positive future, saying, “They will create a new wave in the K-pop genre.” The famous British music review magazine NME is continuously covering their performance videos, showing exceptional anticipation.
Meanwhile, BABYMONSTER is a new girl group that YG is announcing about 7 years after BLACKPINK. Three Koreans (AHYEON, HARAM, RORA), two Thais (PHARITA, CHIQUITA), and two Japanese (RUKA, ASA) prospective members are receiving the expectations of the global music market as ‘all-rounders’ with well-rounded vocals, dance, rap, and visuals. The final debut members will be announced at 0:00 on the 12th.
