YG really takes his time to debut Baemon... Only two things can explain that, he is confident with their first song or he has zero confidence

Their producer is pretty famous though not like Teddy. The song is gonna be critical. Talent is thru the roof for BM and will only get better. Song debut muy importante.

Even if they don't get a hit during debut, they'll have bigger fandom than nmixx

And only expect people to support Baemon with those training videos

Especially if you're known for releasing hit songs like Fire and Whistle.

I hope yg knows what he's doing If this song isn't a hit Baemon will be seen like Nmixx (but in yg)

You're new to Kpop? This is a pretty normal strategy.

It's just a marketing strategy.

If YG wasn't confident you wouldn't know their names or faces.

hopefully waiting for the members to finish middle school

I believe not confident enough

he using common strategy

hyping the members by delaying tactics?
having a survival program

picking among the most popular members
then selecting/debut one or two of his favorite
to add to the final lineup

hater much?

you know what is like to debut a new GG after...BlackPink? The BAR is not high, it is the higher.

I don`t even remember anything like this with BP. And also you have a 4 gen gg war ongoing.

New to kpop? Delay is common in yg timeline

I don't know why plenty really expected YGE to just drop BAEMON's debut in an instant.

YG’s New Girl Group to Be Revealed in January (2013)

The group would be BlackPINK, read the Article because it's basically the same approach they are doing with BaeMon, at least the initial intent.

baemon brings NOTHING to kpop.

Limited talent, cringe rapping, 13 year olds rapping about how "badass they are", a concept where these asian middle schoolers pretend they are from the bronx and don't do hiphop justice

Who cares about them honestly, y'all genuinely believe they are actually bringing something to kpop

He is going to pull a New Jeans and just release without any notice.

I believe he will release on the same day as another SM or Starship group and wreck them.

YG distributes Hybe music, so YG will not promote at the same time as another Hybe group. He is also friends with JYP so will not overlap promotions with a JYP group.

You're completely right. I'm literally the same age as Chiquita and I honestly can't really imagine anyone in my grade, even more in my school, to survive being starved, being overworked, and not having any social media. (especially the last one. like everyone is so obsessed with snapchat and tiktok at my school) I feel really bad for her because she's going to be exposed to pedophiles and haters.

I never thought the day when there was an idol the same age as me was ever going to happen since we're literally in the middle of middle school, but then YG pulls this. Hopefully, they wait until Chiquita is a little older. Not to mention that she's probably in South Korea without her parents and surrounded by people who might hate her because of who she is.

Kinda logical seeing how others got a lot of backlash for debuting minors..

I thought that was just all rappers (outside k-pop), I mean I watched a documentary on the origins of rap once that talked about rap being a way for people to express emotion, hardship, a whole culture that spread throughout the U.S. and stuff. I bet k-pop companies or Broadway musical producers think of their genres the same way. Everyone would think their genre has a "true spirit" and you have to respect the origins and whatever. Kinda random
