• BABYMONSTER Starts Filming Music Video for First Full-Length Album—YG Calls It a "Mega Project"

    YG Entertainment's new girl group BABYMONSTER is gearing up to film the music video for their first full-length album!

    On September 23rd, YG Entertainment announced, "We will be producing several music videos for BABYMONSTER's first full-length album, set to release this fall, including the title track." The group will be filming at various locations, showing the strong support for this exciting project.

    This move shows the confidence of YG’s Chief Producer Yang Hyun Suk in BABYMONSTER, the next-generation girl group. YG is determined to promote and highlight many songs from the album, especially the title track.

    YG stated, "The recording for BABYMONSTER's first album is complete, and we are in the finishing stages. The choreography for several songs that will have music videos has also been completed."

    BABYMONSTER previously confirmed that all seven members would officially debut on April 1 with their first mini-album, "BABYMONS7ER." The music video for their title track "SHEESH" set a record as the fastest debut song by a K-pop girl group to reach 100 million views in just 10 days.

    It’s now close to 296 million views, with 300 million in sight. The choreography video has also gained huge popularity, surpassing 150 million views.

    The group's rising fame comes from their focus on the live performance skills of all seven members rather than just traditional promotion. Although "SHEESH" didn't make a big impact on charts at first, the members' incredible live abilities helped the song climb to the top ranks over time.

    To build excitement for the full-length album, BABYMONSTER pre-released the track "FOREVER" on July 1. They also connected with fans through a global fan meeting, reaching audiences in 12 sessions across seven Asian cities. At the "Summer Sonic 2024" festival, they showcased their amazing talent to music lovers around the world.

    YG commented, "We wanted to share the news of the confirmed album release with our global fans who have supported and waited for BABYMONSTER. We hope this album will connect with fans who have cheered for BABYMONSTER from afar. We are now in the final stages of this new beginning and will soon provide detailed information, including the release date."

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

    On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

    Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

    He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

    To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

    It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

    In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

    But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

    This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

    Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

    As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

    He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
