i think YG trainees have always been singing english songs even before kpop blew up in the west and i think that avoids comparison with senior idols, in a way. in case with leejung, she seems to enjoy dancing more and creating contents with different people since it allows more freedom and less pressure from the public unlike idols.

harams final performance on the “survival show” is sooo insane. hope you get to watch it

I'm a Blink, but I've been waiting for the Babymoster's debut for a long time! And I don't compare anyone with each other because I think all the participants of BlackPink and Babymoster are insanely talented. I love Jennie and Lisa rap madly and I'm looking forward to Ruka, Asa and Ahyeon and maybe someone else? Thank you so much for your reaction to Babymonster!

There's a survival show of 8 eps, if u wish u react to t or else u can check out the performances alone BP Mission : 1. Team A - Ahyeon, Pharita & Ruka : Rose's Gone 2. Team B - Haram, Chiquita, Rora & Asa - BP's Stay 3. Group dance mission - BP's Don't Know What To Do (they pre recorded the vocals) 4.Individual vocal mission 5. Group Vocal mission - Scars To Ur Beautiful 6. Group Dance mission - 2NE1 mashup *Predebut dance performance - JL's Jenny from the block *Predebut single - DREAM

1:31:25 YG artists talked about this before. They only sing English songs in evaluations bc it's a way for them to practice their English and because there are more hard-to-sing English songs that can fully show off their vocals. So it's like another challenge to them how to give the English song their own flavor.

Pharita is born in August 26, 2005🇹🇭💖💘(her nickname is pear) - The winner of street dance junior from IDOL WORLD DANCE CUP in korea - she is MISS POPULAR VOTE(miss teen thailand) - Talent kids & teen 2018 - ASIA JUNIOR FASHION RUNWAY 2018 - Grand prize, Shell international fashion show 2019 in China - Cash asian pacific Art Fest 2019 - Global fashion show 2019 And her pronunciation in english is so goood cuz she learning in international school in thailand!💘

One thing is for sure YG knows what they're doing, and they know talent. These girls are all so talented and have so much potential. I'm really curious and excited on what YG's plan with them is. These girls definetly have Blackpink as their role models and have worked with the girls, and the same teachers/team/producers so its inevitable that there is gona be some similarities but I can't get over how much Ahyeon gave me Jennie vibes and Chiquita, Lisa vibes.

Yess Asa sounds a legit rapper. She was born to be one of great rappers in kpop.

Thank you for reacting to Baby Monster! I have been waiting for so long and really loved your reaction! Majority if not all the points you made throughout the video were pretty accurate and spot on. So excited for their debut next month allegedly we have been waiting for so long and we're almost there!

Now, you must watch their Last Evaluation performances. Their solo performances and their group performances, 2ne1 mashup and 'Scars to Your Beautiful'. It's all in the "Last Evaluation" ep 1-8. They also did a dance cover 'Jenny From the block'. You'll witness their hard work and their struggle. Must watch.

Baby Monster did kick off with 11 girls 4 to 5 years ago. The early girls put out by YG did have Americans and Chinese girls in the original lineup but none have made the final 7 lineup. The final piece that finally launched Baby Monster was the discovery of Chiquita into the YG training programme. 4 months into training and YG knew they had the final Baby Monster puzzle, a year into training and YG launched. Chiquita is a Baby Lisa, with the additional benefit of amazing vocals.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it overall and where able to endure the presence of YG himself ;) My favorites from those 7 members would be Rora (because of how she conveys emotions with her voice, her best performance is in Last Evaluation) and Ruka (because of her quirky chaotic personality, she covers 2NE1 solo in Last Evaluation btw) but all of them are great. At first I wondered about the big age gap from Ruka to the rest, but after seeing her youthful personality, she seems to fit perfectly with the rest of them. Of course I would love if you also at some point before their debut find time to watch the 3rd playlist (Last Evaluation, Debut Member Announcement and Pre Debut Releases) that I made for you. You could shorten the needed time and only watch the performances from Last Evaluation (They are seperatly available on their KZfaq). Of course you would miss a lot of behind the scenes including coaching from Jenny and Lisa. If that is still to much of a time commitment, I suggest to watch at the very least their MV for their Pre Debut Song "Dream" (3:15 min, Patreon only since that one often gets blocked on KZfaq) and the members reaction to YG announcing who made it into the group (10:09 min, video is also in my 3rd playlist). Those two videos would perfectly fit into a request... Just saying... ;) Of course there is more, but with that you would be perfectly prepared for their debut :D Regardless, thx for this long and entertaining reaction :)

Lol Asa didn't come to YG loving rap. She's a dancer. But they they saw her potential for rap and cultivated it. That's what they did with Jennie and Lisa too. But when they debuted, they didn't really let them run free with it for some reason. @1:17:05 YG has always been targetting the global market, have more English lyrics/music, and training their trainees with English songs. It's just later that other companies saw how lucrative that can be that they starting doing that as well.

This is perfectly done. You reacted to the basic which other reactors rarely do...thanks 😊❤

This was a lot of fun, and definitely not something I was going to watch on my own~ I think the members that really caught my attention are Ruka & Asa, but they all seem so talented.

42:50 leejung kinda answered that in the last evaluation episode, she said she wants more people to love dancing as much as she does, and she was very happy to see babymonster, all love and be good dancers.

AHYEON just have so much power, no one can deny that. So excited for this group to debut, literally a top tier! Please do watch their group performances and individual performances from LAST EVALUATION (watch the clean versions) and do check out their pre debut song called DREAM afterwards. I love your review, please do keep an eye to BABYMONSTER!

Ruka is poetry in motion, main dancer and rapper. Watch their dance covers, Jenny from the Block and Scars in your beautiful, clean version ie without all the chatter from YG coaches.

Ruka has the og YG vibe and She wrote the Korean verse for her rap, She is so talented

YESSSS please continue to react to them babymonster is lit💜. Nobody is confirmed to be leaving/kicked out yet so as far as we all know it's still 7 and I hope it stays that way

Chiquita is sooo talented

Ahyeon, haram and asa owned the solo mission and last evaluation 7 Ahyeon owned it too

Thanks so much for your reaction! I loved it ❤

She's like a little Jennie, She is a little Jennie. I felt that.

Blackpink lisa and jennie were trained how to rap in YG. On that you are spot on! Chiquita was recently taught how to rap. YG mentioned that earlier this year. Asa was taught too. Ruka entered YG with her rap skills and yg trained her to perfection. She has that YG vibe down a 100%

Reaction more Babymonster, all members have a lot of talent compared to other groups that's a fact, Ahyeon mini Jennie, Chiquita mini Lisa, Haram mini Rose and Rora mini Jisoo

Just to clarify there’s no updates about official positions yet. There’s only what some fans think or assume tbh. All the girls are legit aces/all rounders do not be fooled by their intro videos. As for leader, there’s really only like 2 or 3 members that exude leadership qualities maybe 4.. that’s Ruka, Ahyeon, Asa, and Haram. Everything else like main vocalists or main rapper ..center.. main dancer is all up in the air at the moment. It could even be two ppl as mains haha. Honestly, it also depends on the kind of music they’ll be debuting with and their image/concept.

kinda feel like I'm watching an anti reaction

for full evaluation you can watch their Last Evaluation series, it has 8 episodes

Can't wait for you to react to their solo covers, those are mind blowing.

Ayo!! I didn't notice the “iron man” in Rora’s introduction until you mentioned 🤣

Keep in mind, Prince, the only 2 members fluent in English are Pharita and Ahyeon so you can imagine how good these ladies are to be able to sign in English and capture the emotion, especially are their young ages.

Asa auditioned as as a dancer, same with Lisa. The trainer must have seen their potential in rapping and hone their skills. Also, you can’t differentiate them being a rapper-rapper and a kpop rapper. Cuz maybe you haven’t seen some of the monthly evaluations blackpink did. You can’t just assume things regarding the type of rapper they are just because of the style of rap you have seen after debut cuz they have to adjust things to match their songs. Which is the case for everyone. As for them singing mostly in english, it is not because to target the global audience but YG has been known as a company to be a distinct company than others. They encourage their trainees to sing in different genres rather than the usual kpop songs that other trainees in other companies do. Also it is a way for them to find their tone and learn techniques that will make them stand out in the industry.

They are watching YG Family Concert back there 1:42:20+ with 2NE1 Performance

We all don't like yg but we can't deny that he can spot someone who has potential and created great artists in kpop history

I love BABYMONSTER!

Papa YG is a member of a legendary group. He built a great agency with a great artists. Have a very strong vision and knows his job well. The only one that pays the right and support his artists behind the scene. He helps them even when they leave. Always gives copyrights to stage names and all songs to departed artists.This is why all artists are still friends with him. People see only what someone wants them to see.

just to clarify you lee jung is ygx dance crew leader she make most of the choreo for yg artist

The ace Ahyeon ❤

The last evaluation episodes are a good watch too! I don’t know if you’re planning on reacting to them since I know you’re watching a lot of other things already, but I’d enjoy it.

Debut officially announced November 27th! Can't wait!! Their announcement was announced right on cue accompanied by a scandal 2 days previous! So happy for these girls!

So here's the thing about teen idol debuts, it is a complicated issue and it is hard to make blanket assertions about what is right or wrong. I think we all agree that the KPop industry has long had young trainees and sometimes there can be abuse and toxicity around the process. And it is not justification to point out that these practices are common in the every culture's music industry, Japanese idol groups and American pop music have also always debuted teenagers (anyone heard of Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Micheal Jackson, or "Little" Stevie Wonder?). Another issue is that these teens are generally ambitious in pursuing their dreams of becoming an idol and this is usually supported by their (mostly affluent) families. The question is whether these kids are protected by their families and by the companies, or are they mistreated and exploited as a product. We know this does happen, but we also know companies that value talent and treat them as prized performers. It is hard to deny the trainees ambitions and if they don't get an opportunity at one company, they will pursue their dreams with another. The only right answer is that pressure needs to be maintained on the companies to train and nurture their talent in a non-exploitative way while still providing them with the strength and emotional fortitude to deal with the media and fans which can be quite toxic. No one has an issue with Taylor Swift debuting at 15 or Grace Vanderwaal at 12, so why with Chiquita at 14 even though she pursued this career in a child's group in Thailand before auditioning for YG and following in her Thai idol older brother's footsteps. Babymetal debuted when they were 12-13 and have had global success yet no one claims they were exploited. It isn't about the age, but about how they are treated by the company

The fact that Asa was a dancer since she was a child and just learned to rap when she's in yg

Still remember when Chiquita was the youngest in Kpop but now there are Kaylee and Jieun. Also, 2010 and 2011 are on New survival show now🥲, and they will debut for sure😭.

Not you saying winner is the last yg artist u reacted to lol.....many people forget that treasure is also from yg and they've been killing it lately

Please react to their evaluation performance!!!

More of them please

You definitely should watch their 8 episode survival show. Their talent is on the peck there! The challenges they face!

The positons and leader are not official. I think is the website basing their opinions on positions.

Choice37 is their head producer ( with 2 co - production team)

That's real monsters group

Baby Monster all around talents

With regard to Jennie rapping, as I recall Jennie said that during training someone, perhaps it was a producer, said to her "you speak English pretty fast so you should try rapping".

I really enjoyed this reaction & rewatching the girls. Are you planning on watching or reacting to the rest of their content like the Last Evaluation & their pre-debut song, "Dream"? I also noticed that you said that the last YG artist's song you checked out was by Winner. Have you ever checked out Treasure? They recently made a comeback with one of their b-sides called "B.O.M.B". If you have time, you should check out the dance performance video.

Jennie pre debut is such a monster. And YG trained them to also write songs, but sadly YG stop showcasing more of her rap talents and did not give the Blackpink the opportunity to produce own songs, And i agree Asa sounds like a legit rapper. Her delivery flow is so unique from other YG girl rappers. And she'll be one of the greatest rappers in kpop only if YG will not do to her same things as what she did to Jennie .

Actually if you dig deeper, Lisa and Jennie are that kind of rapper. People only perceived them as mediocre rapper because that's what yg introduced them to the public and that's not even their 100% true form. If you look at their evaluation clips, most of their songs are dark. And also baemon and bp have only one rap trainier. If only yg will publish all their monthly evaluations especially that they are the ones who wrote all their rap verses. Also fyi, Jennie auditioned as a rapper 😊

I really wait ur next baby monster reaction

0:41 let me clarify but Ahyeon isnt left the group. YGX dance trainee confirmed that she was seen Ahyeon multiple times in YG building and she's doing fine. Its just YG doesnt allow ppl to take photo and video of the members recently because of their new hairs, ect. Please looking forward to her debut

You gotta do last evaluation performances they go crazy

there's no official positions yet, but the only ones we know for sure is about who is gonna be main dancer, and we all know that is gonna be Ruka, and maybe Asa too, and also main rapper is gonna be Asa, and maybe Ruka too

YYOOOOO FINAL EVALS..... YOU REACT TO THEM

You saying like boy group Treasure doesn't exist in YG. You should at least acknowledge their talent too. Btw I also looking forward to the debut of Baby Monster

Trainee Jennie rapping fast rap songs like asa. You can watch some clips. And i expect them to have slower raps too especially in their comeback songs coz they have to dance, sing and rap. Yg even said to asa to practice slow rap coz it's obvious you can't rap that fast and hard while performing. But hope once they have their solo she gets to have her rapping moment

Hope you react to their evaluation 🥹

❤❤❤

Kep1er is going to release their Japanese album with « Fly High » yesterday they dropped the highlight medley and the new songs are such a BOP I’m waiting for ur reaction !!!

For what im hearing in the forum, they are trying to target the 1st or second week of November if everything go smoothly. But of not it might be last week of November or early weeks of 2024.. 🤭😅

You be hating yg for his married life when his wife and her family are thankful to him cause he did not only give their daughter a good life but he's helping the whole family too. His brother in law is full of praises on how he is a devoted husband and father to their kids and how yg always finds way to help him earn. Your nonsense hate is just wild...

PLEASE REACT TO LIVE PERFORMANCES SOLO OF ALL MEMBERS AND YOUR DANCE AND VOCALS PERFOMANCES, AND YOUR PREDEBUT SONG , PLEASEE JEJEJE , WE WANT SECOND PART JAJAJA

As a blink I also agree about what to told about Asa, Lisa and Jennie.

That's what I noticed too, in YG, in evaluation they're more into ENGLISH song, usually when they're performing in KOREAN/HANGUL, it's their own written song

Would love to see the video before the introduction videos called yg next movement

I think Treasure and Babymonster will be the new face of YG.

Finally someone praise rora

they were getting a lot of demos sent in for their debut songs from global or western producers not sure but they had a song camp to decide a couple months ago that plus bp contract is delaying it but november should be thr month if their latest statement is to be believed but its yg they also said november bp contract news plus jennie new album is supposed to come soon so wondering who shes releasing it under. So not all teddy but im sure he'll be on it in someway but maybe he's busy dealing with the black label stuff since a gg is supposed to debut there next year somi will have a junior lol that will be adorable and weird

Please do also react to their individual performances from last evaluation..!!!

RORA slayed so hard omg❤❤❤❤

Consider not judging YG’s video hastily. YHS manages artist while the company is overseen by executives; board members and investors have a say in decision-making. YGE’s approach differs from others who produces idol factory-like. They focus on equipping their idols for success (creative freedom, music education, mental and physical well-being). I would prioritize research over hearsay and trends, I know lately it’s been a trend to blame everything on one guy when there’s really a team of management who runs the company. Challenges exist in all agencies, not just theirs, or in Korea even if it’s not prominently highlighted as YGE. I hope your contents will be non bias.

BAEMOOOON HUHU

"It sounds like I'm listening to a Disney song," followed IMMEDIATELY by, "Oh, not anymore," had me rolling. hahaha

Ruka is literally a YG swag thats the YG vibe and DNA indeed.. Ilove them all.. YG is like that ever since theyre westernize im YG fan since 2003 its YG thing...as an old Ygfan this is not new to me that they trained english song etc..😊

❤️‍🔥😎🤙🏻

React to other Babymonster individual performances you'll like.

Ahyeon Ace for sure🔥

The news that one member is not debuting is Ahyeon because fans outside yg has been seeing the other 6 exept her until now but yg confirmed recently that she'll debut with the group

next episodes plzzz do early ♥️

After hearing and knowing the skills of these members, I can't blame YG why he wanted to debut these girls already eventho their age is just 😅 and can be used to attack the group too. Compare to the other groups who already debuted, BM members skills and talents are already honed and ready to be shown, unlike other group who still have that members that are lacking in some ways. I just wanted YG to gave the skills and talents of these girls what they deserve.

Please make a video on their brother band ''Treasure'' 💎🎶

🤨 came here go watch but heard ignorance from the getgo... 1, gdragon didnt leave , he didn't sign new contract yet. So idk where you get info from but please read official statements. No drugs found in his lab results either. 2, YG isjust too damn nice. Artist like yedam take advantage of YG because they don't sign loans to trainees or artist. If they want leave they can. Other agencies have lawsuits and ugly internet battle/ smear campaign. 3. Blackpink signed as a grooup, solo can be signed with other agencies. I doubt they will go far tho , their sound is YG. Mayb TBL is best solution. 4. Lack of music? Treasure had 2-3 comeback this year, blackpink wrapped up their tour and deserve rest! Winner, 2 members are off to military. Akmu just had a comeback. YGFAMILY has been doing this for 27years 2 things did change... *1.TREASURE they are extremely well promoted due to their debutd condition ( covid, yg scandals). *2. A girlgroup member in BABYMONSTER is already in producer mode. Thats unheard off in YG. For boys,Treasure more than 3 were involved in production during debute.

Please also react to their final evaluation episodes

Ahyeon is the member who was rumored to potentially not debuting with the group.

west is where the money is. him managing blackpink knows it best, look what they did from they're last tour globally.

The press choreographie that haram danced was actualy created by leejung:)

Not sure how true this is but I heard they're brining in a producer from the US.

Live performances pls.

Hi can you please react to their other performances? It’s their individual performance where you can see more of their skills and potential. Thank you!

they are improved in every area. geez , they have the best vocal line (over nmixx and aespa) , rap line (tied with xg) , arguably dance line in gen4/gen5 kpop without even debuting. ahyeon , rora in the future and maybe haram are the only one that could go toe to toe with lily. asa when she develops and ahyeon could reach seoyeon level. sorry not sorry.

Oh you are yet to react to the last evaluations 1-8...will appreciate it if you could please

Lee Jung once mention that she only has passion for dancing and thus does not want to pursue the path of an idol. All YG trainees go thru the same course of training, self written raps lines or songs are common, all type of dance style including aggresive krump style, ofcos each trainee excel to different varying degree but they pretty much follow the same full course.

they doesn’t have leader yet but ruka or aheyoun could be a leader and yg just but a korean member leader so maybe aheyoun ..
