Fans are understandably eager as ever, as BABYMONSTER has yet to announce what they would call their loving fandom. However, fans took matters into their own hands by coming up with hilarious ideas for the group's fan club name!
Here's what they said.
BABYMONSTER Fans List Out Hilarious Potential Fandom Names For Group
BABYMONSTER debuted earlier on November 27, 2023, with "BATTER UP" as a six-membered group without Ahyeon. However, they re-debuted as seven members on April 1, with mini album "BABYMONS7ER" and title track "SHEESH."
The septet, now including Ahyeon in the lineup, has consistently broken records despite being new to the K-pop scene, and this has proved their status as a monster rookie. Since the group released "SHEESH," the promotions of the girls have been more active than ever.
However, with their prominence in the music scene and impact on the industry, fans noticed that something was "missing" in the group. They referred to their fandom name, which BABYMONSTER still doesn't have.
On April 10, Korean netizens established a forum titled "BABYMONSTER's Fandom Names On Community Sites."
The author uploaded a screenshot of the list made by netizens, which drew laughter on the thread!

1. Baby Mamster
2. Adult Monster
