BABYMONSTER‘s first OT7 airport experience caused so much chaos that guards had to form a human chain to protect them. In their "re-debut" with the track "SHEESH" after Ahyeon's return, the group's popularity was on full display.
On May 9, BABYMONSTER arrived at the airport ahead of an overseas schedule, and it was the first time all seven members had been spotted together before traveling.
As expected, the idols were cool, calm, and collected as they made their way in front of the fans and media who had been waiting for them.
When the members left the car, it was clear how many people were waiting for them. After some organization, the members all made it into formation to have their photos taken by the media outlets who had been waiting for them.
As the members stepped inside the airport, their influence was shocking. It was filled with fans, and the crowds all wanted a glimpse of the members.
As the members got further inside the airport, it seemed to be even more busy and crowded, but the group remained calm and professional as they greeted everyone.
As the members got nearer to security, the crowds increased, and Ahyeon seemed concerned when someone in the crowd almost fell right in front of her. Yet, it seems like the crowds were something the staff and security were also aware of.
As the members got closer to the desk, the staff and guards started forming a human chain to ensure that the members could get to the queue safely.
When the videos were posted, netizens were in shock of the huge turnout for the rookie group.

In recent news, BABYMONSTER's latest release, "SHEESH," has sparked contrasting opinions among K-pop enthusiasts. While some fans praised the group's departure from the usual "easy-listening" style and lauded Ahyeon's return, others criticized the song for its perceived resemblance to BLACKPINK's style and accused YG Entertainment of recycling concepts.
Positive comments highlighted the group's talent and the song's quality, while negative ones questioned YG's creative decisions and expressed disappointment. The mixed reception reflects the diverse tastes within the K-pop community and raises questions about the industry's evolving trends.
