The company behind K-pop group Blackpink, YG Entertainment has dropped the
lineup for their new group Baby Monster. They held a live stream on May 12th
featuring the agency’s founder Yang Hyun Suk as he prepared to reveal the
final five members.
He revealed the chosen trainees individually
and explained why he chose every single one of them. The members chosen are
Chiquita, Ahyeon, Haram, Ruka, and Pharita. When explaining why trainees Rora
and Asa were not selected, he revealed that he had other plans for them.
He claimed that he wanted Rora to debut with the agency’s next
girl while he wanted Asa to be a part of a project he’s planning in Japan.
He
also mentioned that because so many fans wanted all seven girls to debut, he
actually reconsidered his decision of choosing only five members. “‘YG Family’
is not just the gathering of YG artists, as I believe that YG fans and
everyone who has diligently tuned in to these broadcasts are the true YG
Family.”
He then replaced the poster of the five girls with one of all
seven members, referring to it as BABYMONS7ER. “I will take all seven with
me.”
