BABYMONSTER’s CHIQUITA: YG Unveils the First Look of Its New Star
[머니투데이=김건우 기자] Amidst confirming their debut on the 27th, YG Entertainment’s (hereafter referred to as YG) new girl group BABYMONSTER has heightened global fans’ anticipation by unexpectedly revealing the visuals of their first member, CHIQUITA.
On the 13th, YG posted ‘BABYMONSTER – VISUAL FILM | CHIQUITA’ and ‘BABYMONSTER – VISUAL PHOTO | CHIQUITA’ consecutively on their official blog.
CHIQUITA enhances her hip charm with orange-colored hair, black and red street fashion, and high-top shoes. This reveal has piqued curiosity about the still-under-wraps debut song concept, as informed by the company. CHIQUITA, who has shown a level of growth from her prior appearances in debut reality shows, draws attention to the upcoming reveals of other members.
Introduced as the youngest prospective member born in 2009 and a next-generation YG artist from Thailand following BLACKPINK’s LISA, CHIQUITA has been highly praised for her boundless potential, including her innate star quality and solid musical skills. She joined the BABYMONSTER project just three months after becoming a trainee.
Meanwhile, BABYMONSTER is YG’s girl group announcement about 7 years after BLACKPINK. Comprising members from Korea, Thailand, Japan, and more, the group has received attention as a ‘monster rookie’ set to shake up K-pop, with members excelling in vocals, dance, rap, and visuals. Despite being pre-debut, their official YouTube channel has already amassed 3.17 million subscribers and over 450 million cumulative views. The American Billboard has selected them as a ‘K-pop Artist to Watch,’ predicting they will “create a new wave” in the K-pop genre.
