Luca from YG's new girl group BABYMONSTER bursts with hip-hop energy and makes global music fans' hearts beat faster.
YG Entertainment released Luca's solo stage, a mash-up of 'Astronaut In The Ocean' and 'Mental Break', on its official blog on the 16th. This is a video where you can truly feel the essence of YG's swag.
Luca, who opened with 'Astronaut In The Ocean', immediately increased the level of immersion by embroidering dynamic rapping on a heavy beat. The unique mid-low voice swoops down with a sense of speed, while at the same time controlling the pace and speed excellently, constantly arousing admiration.
The warmed-up atmosphere reached its peak with ‘mental breakdown’ as the starting point. After taking a moment to catch his breath, Luca powerfully stretched out to the front of the stage and dominated the stage, giving a thrilling thrill. The unwavering live performance, despite the non-stop rap, also left a strong impression.
The confident and uninhibited gestures that matched the confident lyrics showed a composure that seemed to fully enjoy the music. Luca freely moves around a wide space and is fully equipped with a dance performance, providing great fun to watch and listen to.
The response is that the birth of a new female rapper who will continue YG's hip-hop lineage is expected. The response from global fans is enthusiastic, as he has clearly established his presence as an artist with not only solid rap skills, but also wild charisma and witty stage manners.
Meanwhile, Baby Monster is a new girl group released by YG about 7 years after Blackpink. The prospective members - 3 Korean (Ahyun, Haram, Laura), 2 Thai (Parita, Chiquita), and 2 Japanese (Luca, Asa) - are 'all-rounders' with vocals, dance, rap, and visuals, making global music. Amid the market's high expectations, the debut reality show 'Last Evaluation' for final member selection is released every Friday at 00:00.
