YG Entertainment Unveils Exciting Plans for BLACKPINK, BABYMONSTER, and a New Girl Group
BABYMONSTER is set for a busy second half of the year. They will release a pre-release single 'HOT SAUCE' on July 1, followed by a second single in September and their first mini-album on October 1. 'HOT SAUCE' is a modern reinterpretation of the hip-hop genre from the mid-to-late 1980s. Yang described it as a song that makes you wonder what it would be like for BABYMONSTER, whose average age is in their teens, to sing hip-hop from 40 years ago. He added, "It's highly addictive and will make your summer enjoyable."

Additionally, Yang shared news about the launch of a new girl group, which has been shrouded in mystery. He stated, "We are preparing two male groups and two female groups for debut, and among them, the four-member girl group is one we want to launch as soon as possible." YG plans to release practice videos of the four members starting on the 28th. Yang urged, "Please evaluate their skills as you see and hear them."

However, he noted, "I want to focus on the growth of BABYMONSTER until the end of next year," suggesting that the official debut of the new girl group is expected after the end of 2025.
