On Thursday (Nov 9), YG Entertainment – the South Korean music label behind Blackpink and Bigbang – confirmed that its latest girl group Babymonster will debut at 11pm on Nov 26, local time.
The group's debut had been in limbo for some time. In October, YG Entertainment apologised for the delay in Babymonster's debut (which was originally set for September), saying: "To come up with the best output, we have been extra cautious about the lead track."
The selection process for Babymonster was documented in a YouTube series called Last Evaluation, which featured seven trainees, Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Haram, Rora and Chiquita, fighting for a spot in the group's final line-up.
In the end, all seven trainees made the final cut and Babymonster released their pre-debut track Dream in May 2023.
The news of Babymonster's debut comes as the future of Blackpink remains uncertain. It's been reported that the members of Blackpink are still in the negotiation process with YG Entertainment – with rumours circulating that not all four of them will renew their contracts with the label.
