YG's new girl group Baby Monster releases introduction video for '15-year-old Ahyeon'

YG's new girl group BABYMONSTER is stoking the expectations of global fans by releasing a series of videos that give a glimpse of the members' charms.

YG Entertainment posted ‘BABYMONSTER – Introducing AHYEON’ on its official blog at midnight on the 27th. This video introduces the sixth main character, 15-year-old Korean trainee Ahyeon, following Luca, Parita, Laura, Asa, and Chiquita.

Ahyeon boasts a presence worthy of the title ‘Center of Confidence.’ He is skilled in refreshing and flexible body control, and he played a key role in enhancing the completeness of the entire performance. In response, Rijeong praised, "Ahyun is the most stable when she's at the center. She's the friend who's most suited to the center."

He is a ‘complete trainee’ who not only has dancing skills, but also flawless vocals and explosive rap skills. Even though the clean and pure tone tickled the ears, she demonstrated her singing ability that overwhelmed the audience with her powerful voice. In addition, he exuded hip-hop swag and even rapped without hesitation, surprising us with his limitless spectrum.

A sincere attitude combined with genius talent became the foundation for infinite growth. He showed interest in English and Chinese from the age of five, and steadily honed his skills to become a potential global star with excellent foreign language skills. Ahyeon's friends commented, "She may have a hard time because of the practice, but she is never late, attends classes diligently, and works hard at school."

At each month-end evaluation, Ahyeon performed with all her heart with a confident attitude of “let’s have fun without regrets.” As he has an excellent understanding of himself and music, he captivates viewers with his wide-ranging digestion and delicate emotional control. He is growing as an ‘all-rounder’ artist with vocal, rap, and dance skills.

Executive producer Yang Hyun-seok expressed his admiration, saying, “Ahyun is a warrior who has so many weapons. Every time I see her, I think, ‘It’s hard to have all of those weapons.’” Ahyeon expressed her aspirations, saying, “I want to become a multi-type artist who can handle many genres without being limited to just one.”

Meanwhile, Baby Monster is a new girl group released by YG about 7 years after Blackpink, and is mostly made up of teenagers. Executive producer Yang Hyun-seok directly announced their debut and is receiving a lot of attention from fans around the world. The number of subscribers to the Baby Monster YouTube channel exceeded 1.13 million, and the number of content views exceeded 160 million. With a multinational composition of 3 Korean members (Ahyun, Haram, Laura), 2 Thai members (Parita, Chiquita), and 2 Japanese members (Luca, Asa), they are expected to dominate the domestic music industry in 2023 as they have vocal, dance, rap, and visual capabilities. It is expected to change the landscape of the global music market.
