BABYMONSTER Chiquita Praised For Vocals In Live Performance Video
On January 23, YG Entertainment revealed BABYMONSTER's third member, Chiquita!
On this day, the company released a live video of Chiquita's visuals and vocals, foreshadowing the birth of a "monster rookie."
In the clip, "BABYMONSTER (#3) - CHIQUITA (Live Performance), the idol trainee who presented her solo stage following Haram and Ahyoon, perfectly reinterpreted JJ Lin's "Bedroom (Feat. Anne-Marie)."
Despite Chiquita being only 13 years old, K-pop enthusiasts who have watched the video lauded the soon-to-debut idol who expressed a soulful tone and complex yet subtle emotions after a breakup with her genuine voice.
- "Thirteen or even 14 years old is still too young to debut. I'm still playing while knowing nothing at that age."
- "There's no doubt in her talents that she could rise as a top idol, but 13? She's too young."
- "Let's say she's 14 next month, but do you understand that if she trained for four years, she's just 10 when she became a trainee? She should have been playing and studying."
- "The K-pop industry is exploiting children and it will not stop since there are people who keep on supporting this."
- "Their youngest is 13, but so far their oldest is 15. Fifteen is still young! Why is this not alarming to y'all?"
