[스타뉴스=윤상근 기자] YG’s new girl group BABYMONSTER has unveiled the first individual teaser of ASA ahead of their official debut.
On the 15th, YG Entertainment sequentially posted ‘BABYMONSTER – VISUAL FILM | ASA’ and ‘BABYMONSTER – VISUAL PHOTO | ASA’ on their official social media. Following the first runner CHIQUITA, ASA’s overwhelming visuals instantly captivated the viewers.
ASA dominated the atmosphere with her enchanting gaze and confident demeanor, without any significant movements.

She has been highly praised as a next-generation ‘all-rounder,’ possessing rapid-fire rapping, a sensuous tone, and a sense for performance, in addition to exceptional songwriting and composing skills.
BABYMONSTER is YG’s girl group launching approximately 7 years after BLACKPINK. It comprises members from Korea, Thailand, and Japan, and has been drawing attention as a ‘monster rookie’ that will shake up K-pop, with high-level vocal, dance, rap, and visual capabilities. Even before debut, their official YouTube channel has garnered 3.19 million subscribers, and the total views have surpassed 450 million.
BABYMONSTER is set to make their debut on the 27th and take a powerful step into the global music market. A strong hip-hop track embodying the ‘YG identity’ is anticipated, and the music video, which hints at high-quality production from five days of shooting, is drawing keen interest from music fans.
