Further Details about YG Entertainment's 'Baby Monster' - Here's What We Know so Far
According to Star News, though there are still no official details about their group's final name and member lineup, it is expected that their concept will be different from YGE's rooks, TREASURE.
In particular, YG Entertainment is known for its "swag" and "boy crush/girl crush" vibes.
While most of the existing groups are dance/performance-based groups including BLACKPINK, BIGBANG, WINNER, iKON, and TREASURE, this new girl group is said to be a group that will give highlights to their musical aspect.
Based on insiders from YG Entertainment, Baby Monster will radiate a "Big Mama" style group.
