This method, though not unfamiliar in the industry, has elicited varied responses from supporters and skeptics alike. A significant number contend that such a process imposes undue stress on the young trainees and fosters an unwholesome competitive atmosphere.
Uncertainty Surrounding BABYMONSTER's Final Lineup:
YG Entertainment recently announced that the upcoming girl group, BABYMONSTER, will debut with only five members, resulting in the elimination of two trainees from the show. This announcement was made at the end of the eighth episode of "Last Evaluation," leaving the seven competing trainees, Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Haram, Rora, and Chiquita, uncertain about the group's final lineup.
Speaking to the trainees, Yang Hyun Suk mentioned, "Our assessment has concluded. We haven't determined the total number of members just yet. I understand that you are all quite talented, but as a producer, my focus is on finding the ideal combination, and there is no specific ranking for who is better or worse."
He went on to praise the trainees for their skills and revealed in a separate interview that he has always envisioned BABYMONSTER as a five-member group.
Yang Hyun Suk shared his perspective, stating, "From the inception of planning for the group BABYMONSTER, I envisioned a quintet. YG-produced girl groups have typically consisted of a smaller number of members, with BLACKPINK having four and 2NE1 featuring the same. The final five members are yet to be determined." He proceeded to declare that the ultimate lineup of BABYMONSTER would be unveiled on May 12 at 12 am KST.
As anticipation builds for the final member selection, fans eagerly await the announcement and the debut of YG Entertainment's newest girl group, BABYMONSTER.
Netizens' Reactions
The delay in finalizing the group lineup has been met with backlash from netizens, with many expressing their frustration and confusion. Some comments found online include:
"What's taking so long for their debut, similar to BLACKPINK's? What is Yang Hyun Suk up to?"
"It's disheartening to think about the trainees who might be eliminated despite having their profile pictures shared."
"Is Yang Hyun Suk not incarcerated?"
"Catching a glimpse of Yang Hyun Suk once more serves as a reminder of why I find it difficult to support YG."
Potential Lineup for the New Girl Group
As the final lineup is yet to be announced, many netizens have been speculating on the potential members for this rookie girl group. One popular prediction includes Ahyeon, Ruka, Chiquita, Asa, and Pharita, making it a five-member group. Others have suggested that a four or five-member group would be ideal for YG Entertainment, considering the success of BLACKPINK.
