7 years since Blackpink…”A group of 7, mostly teenage girls”
Yang Hyun-suk returned as general producer of YG Entertainment with a new group of girls.
It has been approximately 3 years and 6 months since he resigned from all positions at YG in June 2019 due to suspicions of a celebrity affiliated drug scandal and “suspicion of suppression of drug investigation by singer BI”
YG also released a new girl group called ‘BABYMONSTER’ after 7 years from BLACKPINK.
On the 1st, YG introduced Baby Monster, a 7-member fledgling girl group that had been shrouded in mystery through YouTube videos and blogs.
In this video, Yang Hyun-suk personally introduced Baby Monster with the position of executive producer.
Yang Hyun-suk introduced Baby Monster, saying, “He’s a baby with YG genes.” He said, “I hope she becomes a star who will surprise the world, just like she surprised me in the monthly ratings for the past four years.”
On December 22 last year, Yang Hyun-suk was acquitted in the first trial of threatening an informant in an attempt to cover up the drug investigation of BI, a former member of the iKON group.
Prosecutors appealed this.
Yang Hyun-suk, who returned with the not guilty verdict from the first trial, is said to be planning to focus on discovering and nurturing new talent in the future.
Meanwhile, YG did not reveal detailed profiles such as names, ages and nationalities of the 7 Baby Monster members on this day.
Starting with this introductory video, we plan to sequentially introduce the skills and information of Baby Monster members through ongoing promotions.
A YG official hinted, “The members are the latest elite members who have passed a thousand-to-one competition to become YG trainees and have undergone professional training for the past four years. Most of them are teenage girls.” .
In the video, BLACKPINK’s Jennie, Lisa, WINNER and Akdong Musician singers appeared and praised Baby Monster’s skills.
Specifically, Lisa said, “The 7-person combination looks very good,” and gave direct choreography guidance.
