The agency continued, “We feel very regretful that we cannot introduce Ahyeon as a member of Baby Monster, but we have made this decision for the artist’s health. We will spare no effort in supporting Ahyeon to fully recover and return in good shape.”
Baby Monster is a girl group launched by YG 7 years after Blackpink. It is composed of multinational members including Korea, Thailand, and Japan, and all of them are known for their high-level vocal, dance, rap, and visual capabilities.
The number of subscribers to their official YouTube channel exceeded 2 million in 129 days, the shortest record for a K-pop girl group, even before their official debut, and currently exceeds 3.19 million. The cumulative number of content views is more than 450 million. The US Billboard selected them as ‘K-pop artists to watch’ and predicted that they would “create a new wave in the K-pop genre.”
