K-Netizens Reactions to BABYMONSTER ‘BATTER UP’

TOO OLD?TOO CORNY?

@YG entertainment, BABYMONSTER

On November 27, BABAYMONSTER’s first music video ever has dropped. As the group was the first girl group of YG entertainment in 7 years, people’s expectation was so up high. Mostly, people thought it would be the quality and sensation of BlackPink. Blackpink ‘Boombaya’ was sensational itself. The song fit the girl group perfectly. People reacted that the song was cool and dope as BLACKPINK was. However, reactions to BABYMONSTER and the song aren’t same as the debut of the senior girl groups.

Translation of the comments

-When the music video starts, the set is just like YG

-The song is really bad, but they rap really well on it

-I guess Teddy really played a part in it. The song sounds like a 2010s song. It’s tacky

-I listened to the song and I was surprised… that it wasn’t good at all. Is it possible to lose the sense like this?

-There’s no impact like BlackPink had, can they compete with New Jeans and IVE?

-heol..the girl who sang ‘i love you’ doesn’t exist? (she is looking for Ahyun, who left the team because of her health issue)

-It has same composing like BP would have

-Wow..I don’t like the song

-It’s my first time thinking that I didn’t like it after listening to YG’s song

-The team name is so corny, BABY MONSTER. (she just translated the English into Korean)

-Is this for real?

-Wow…the song..why?

-I was looking forward to it, staying up until midnight to sleep to watching this. The chorus beat was weirdly tacky so I checked the credits and it’s Yang Hyunsuk’s songwriting. It’s their debut song. I’m pissed off.

So it seems the K-netizens are mad at the quality of BABYMONSTER’s debut song. They wanted the company to give the quality that BABYMONSTER deserves.
