BlackPink's sister group members? YG female trainees(?) on their way to work, video becomes hot topic
★ Photos and video of a group of YG female trainees on their way to work have been released and are becoming a hot topic.
The video was posted by a YG fan on the Chinese SNS Weibo on the 27th.
The women are seen walking towards the entrance of YG's new building.
The date of the video is unknown, but the new building has been in use since September last year, so it seems to have been taken after that.
The women are carrying carry bags and handbags in their hands, and backpacks on their backs.
A person who appears to be a staff member dressed in all black is accompanying them.
The poster wrote that they are "very young," so it is likely that they are trainees.
Fans have been saying things like, "She's not just a trainee because she's accompanied by staff. Could she be a member of a new girl group?" ★ YG has officially acknowledged that they are preparing a new girl group. In May of this year, they revealed that they are "preparing to launch a new girl group." The group is known to fans as "Baby Monster," and it has been reported that they will debut in the second half of this year. This is the first time in about five years since "BlackPink" that a girl group will debut from YG, so there is a lot of attention being paid to it. ♦ ("BlackPink" sister group reported to debut in the second half of 2021 → YG "preparing") It's been about five years since "BlackPink" that a girl group will debut from YG, so it's no wonder we're excited. BlackPink was sent out to replace 2NE1, who was forced to disband, and despite receiving complaints and criticism, they received support from many fans and rose to become undisputed global stars.
They were a girl group with a wide range of stardom.
That's why they were loved by so many fans.
2NE1 was amazing, but BlackPink became even more popular and successful.
The girls who are following in BlackPink's footsteps are apparently becoming known as "Baby Monster."
Even if you don't know their debut date, they may already have built a certain fandom and are waiting for them.
2NE1's debut was also spectacular.
The group was centered around the talented CL, and boasted such a strong image that even Girls' Generation paled in comparison.
Looking back now, it's a shame that their rich image has been scattered so far that there is no trace of it.
Considering that the views of 2NE1's music on YouTube are not increasing much, it seems that the fandom surrounding them, while a certain number of them remain, has either moved on to other K-pop girls or dispersed.
I believe that most of them, including those who said that they are "not even close to 2NE1's level," have been absorbed into BlackPink's fandom.
In any case, BlackPink debuted while 2NE1's influence was still strong after missing the opportunity to make a comeback.
It is natural that fans who were devoted to 2NE1 had high hopes for BlackPink, who is also in the same agency.
However, considering the size of the fandom that has expanded to an enormous extent, that alone is not enough.
It is also likely that BlackPink has snatched away fans of other girl groups (Girls' Generation, Apink, TWICE, Red Velvet) through their debut song and a series of hit songs.
BlackPink was a versatile girl group that could appeal to both coolness and cuteness (visuals).
In other words, BlackPink paved the way to success with a style different from 2NE1.
To be so similar means that they lack freshness.
It was their difference from 2NE1 that brought freshness, and BlackPink paved the way to their own success.
What about "Baby Monster"?
If they tried to do it with a style similar to BlackPink, I can imagine them being compared to one another and struggling to grow.
It might be a good idea to put aside the cutesy style and dig into the bold girl crush left by 2NE1.
It's difficult to achieve that when you debut as a teenager, but the wall of BlackPink seems thick and high, so it seems like it would be very difficult for them to break through it and overcome it.
