Haram was allrounder . Pharita improved her facial expression. Chiquita killing with facial expression. Ruka with rap & ASA literally owning everything . Rora with that poker attitude . This was a dream debut .
That's why she's the center hahah You know, being a Center is someone who can captivate the public's attention to them and the group. The Center role is like the Eye for the group, if a group have a good Center-based member, then the others will look good too. If the Center-based member doesn't fit the role, it can go downhill for the group. The advantage about Chiquita is that she is good with facial expression, so that's why the group looks good altogether.
The wole Ahyeon situation: Honestly i think the reason why they pushed the debut back from stepember is because they hoped that Ahyeon will recover, in the end she didn't, and i think they decided to not delay the debut any longer, because of a) contracts of other members b) just a hype would slowly die more and more. They decided to debut them with a single, with originaly was suppose to be an album with couple of songs, acording to articles that YG was speaking to, they said that they secured NUMEROUS amount of trackS. And the reason why they aren't clear with Ahyeon situation is because they don't even know themselfs when or IF she will recover, thats why they never said clear that 1. She's on hiatus 2. She's leaving, and they never officialy stated that she's leaving, like they did with pre-debut TREASURE member Ha-Yoonbin Of course YG wants Ahyeon to comeback, because that would be massive hit to the group if Ahyeon wouldn't be in Babymonster, i think it's like Jennie would leave blackpink, she was suppose to be face and center of the group Yang Hyunsuk prepared this group for 5 years, he wrote his name under this group as an executive producer and main producer, we can say a lot bad about him, but i genuinly believe that he has strong plans for this group, considered the fact that, WINNER, IKON, TREASURE lost it's members he 100% considered the fact that something might happen to the member's health or mental health especially since they're so young So in the end i think, that YG still have hopes for Ahyeon's comeback, and as soon as she recovers and she'll be ready we will see BABYMONSTER OT7 comeback with an album (january, february 100%) edit: Yeah, YG confirmed that they don't have scheduled promotions for batter up, it just screams that they're waiting for Ahyeon, i understand, but at the same time kinda feel unfair for other 6 girls?
totally agree. this is like an introduction for babymonster showing that they have the yg genese, I feel like they will go all out on 2024 comeback with complete members. (hopefully)
Why are you guys complicating it too much, in my opinion, ahyeon could have debuted in the music video but not participate in the music shows, obviously they filmed this when she was still very well, she could still debut without taking part in the promotions, if she doesn't get better later on, then yg could say they have been hoping for things to improve but seeming as it isn't possible, she would be removed...I just feel like there is no need to be ambiguous about this situation
@@mae_ri she couldn't appear in the MV, "IF" she is not mentally ready "OR" if the supposed health issue is due to something with her appearance. She has not been seen on social media since July.
I think this is the most sincere reaction I've ever seen. It really gives a real insight into the group. She didn´t talk about comparisons, she didn´t mention a specific group at any time. Just said here is the essence of YG. She gave us two visions and that allows each person to generate their own opinion. Besides, she stands out the good things and that´s correct, they are very talented.
Honestly, i think its quite not bad that six of them debut given that ahyeon is sick. We are hyped to see the debut , yet we will be again hyped in future to see ahyeon put her magic on baby monster.
Ahyeon is talented, and if her absence is truly due to illness, I hope she recovers before getting into all the madness of a debut Now, it was difficult to postpone the debut, the fans were demanding it and the market was waiting, apart from the renewal of BP. What I don't think is that Ahyeon's fans demean the other girls, making less of the song and her debut because she's not there. Each of the members performed their part very well and I think there was a correct distribution of lines. If Ahyeon joins, whose lines will be removed?
I'm really sure they will explore different genres and concepts in the future. I loved everything about this debut, I don't see any problem of it sounding like a 2NE1 or BP song, it's their first song, let's give them time. Also, when BP debuted people said the same about them, that they were a version of 2NE1 and even released As if it your last, that was supposed to be a 2ne1 song!. I see people judging baby monster, saying that Batter up sound like a b-sidr of BP. And what's the problem with that? BP was exactly the same when they debuted and look at them now. Sometimes I feel like people just want to criticize. Baby monster will find their own identity, just give them time to it
True, and the girls' talents are astounding! Let's just hope their future music gets the creative direction and identity that'll make them a more defining group ❤
Chiquita definitely the daughter of JenLisa. The eyes, nose, and vocal from Jennie. Lisa's dance, energy, something around her mouth. And the expressions from both parents. Periodt hehe
Haram was Crazy good this Debut with her being Rami now i think she shines doubled as Bright! Asa co wrote the Lyrics. this is a Milestone for a Female Girlgroup Member! Especially for the Debut!
you are my favorite reactor, i love that you didnt specifically identify a standout artist like other reactors did but you go in to point out what you want see in the future for the group with skills that all the artists showed.
Rami and Asa were my biases pre debut and still are. Also, do y’all notice the difference in Rami’s presence!? Her presence pre debut was very weak and now it’s super strong. That was the only thing she was lacking.
Yeaa she will come back but I'm glad it won't happen as Yeri that received a lot of hate since Ahyeon was already in the group and we need ahyeon here. 😊
personally their talents is undeniable. Their visuals and skills is crazy but this is SOOO bp x 2NE1 coded… Like you said if you like YG then it’s fine because is not bad but I wish YG would explore an other concept /genre since they’re 6 members debuting and not 4 since 2NE1 debuted. The song is not that bad but not very outstanding for a debut. But I hope they’ll do well because the girls deserves it 🦄🤍
@@_afanboyright ? 😭 when their first video was Rami singing “let me love you” goosebumps were there and you can’t even hear their talents except for the rap parts which were very good
There a lot of easter eggs in this song for us YG stans, there are tributes to BP, Big Bang, Treasure, Akmu, Lisa like you mentioned. Its the baby of the family giving an homage to their seniors and adding their flavor and letting the world know they are proud to be from YG. They will come out with ballads and R & B songs, I am sure soon enough but in a time saturated with very talented other GG- their strength is their YG DNA because there is a market for it. I feel nolstagic when I listen to it and my daughter who did not experience 2ne1 or BP now gets to be a fan too of the YG DNA.
Thank you finally someone who said that there are easter eggs as you said i think olny yg stans understand like references to their seniors not copying as some says.
YG is using this as an marketing strategy, once again. Babymonster on their own (no individual member) is already famous and loved so it’s already a guaranteed successful debut. Imagine Ahyeon joins them next comeback… that’s literally a locked and loaded comeback too 😭 Sooo smart.
I actually love this song so much. Yes it is yg coded and thats the reason why i love it..i am only into kpop because of yg music. For me yg music and their skilled artists are just perfectly fit together. The fact that they are the only company who is true to producing real artists who can perform live LIVE and able to hyped the crowd is everything. I am for real performer never settled for any less
I can’t understand peoples saying “they are so same style” bro it’s yg. You can’t expect them the being different from classic yg style. And that yg style is amazingly beautiful, nobody need new style. I hope they won’t listen to peoples and change the style
I knew this group was coming, but I didn't really check out any of their pre-debut contents, so I didn't really know what to expect, even less have I picked a bias. Well, what can I say - it's always the rappers, y'all. I don't know why, but in most groups I instinctively pick (one of the) the rapper(s) as my bias, mostly even before I even know that this is their position, so just based off of visuals and vibe. And Ruka and Asa...holy moly. I'm very content with my choice.
So many kpopies said that they just like BP, ressemble of 2ne1 & BP, no fresh concept,like what do you expect from YG? YG is still being YG, they can't or never change their face. YG still not have to follow the kpop mainstream because they had their own trend. 🔥
It has mass appeal. I don’t think the average fan won’t really know about the YG formula or care. It’s a bop. That’s really all that matters in the end.
I completely agree with everything you said. With ASA in the writing, composing and producing credits is getting me so excited for them to put their own flavor to their next songs 😎🔥
People in the comments saying they are too yg style and needs to have their own concept is making me laugh. When YG debuted Treasure, people say i hope they do more hiphop yg style concepts. when blackpink debuted, people say they are 2ne1 coded and all. People do u realised that YG always do hiphop style, the yg dna to debut their girl groups. YG is known to do this kind of concept on their girl groups. That’s how they market their girl groups, the yg style like what this reactor is saying. People complain too much tbh 😅
Same thoughts initially. That YG could've showcased the strong suits of these girls. But thinking about it now, I'm glad that they didn't. I think YG's intention here is to establish that BABYMONSTER has the famous YG DNA. These babies will develop their sound eventually and inject their talents into it little by little. Baby steps for these lil Monsters, I'm sure in time they'll devour KPop and will leave no crumbs.
And have you observed that when Asa was rapping "baby boss" she is wearing Blackpink, because Blackpink is the "Boss B*tch".😅 And when Ruka said "Square Up passed the baton". Square Up is Blackpink Album.😊 Sisters !!!!! And the respect !
Honestly their rappers Ruka and Asa are phenomenal. I think Haram also slayed with her attitude overall great song, choreography could’ve been better but I gotta see a performance
YG is YG stop saying they recycled music's, that's what makes YG unique they make these stories and make it incredible and there's many connections like bp
Asa’s is a monster in the female rap for fifth gen, and that’s given because yg are full of monsters. Can’t wait for the next comeback. N next reaction could you check out boysplanet group called Onepact. They have three debut songs out right now, and they officially debut Thursday on the 30th.
I really hope Ahyeon can join on the first comeback. All 7 worked hard for this debut. I hope YG did not lie when they said she is still part of the group.
My take: Personally, I loved the song. It felt like classic YG but with a strong (enough) modern evolution, so best of both worlds for my taste. Of course its amazing that ASA got composing and lyric credits on the debut, what's very promising for the future. The song has insane rap parts without loosing the vocals and individuality of each member in the song / mixing. Everybody got their moment to shine. Its obviously designed with modern sensibilities in mind (tiktok etc.) but I love that we also finally got a full 3+ min song from YG again. I even like the lyrics. Very confident but without coming across arrogant (I don't want anything but your heart), without looking down on the listener (I would never do you wrong) and even being inclusive (everybody ... We are the monsters of the world ... Let's run anywhere). If I had to critique something it would be that the second chorus should have build on and not repeat the first chorus. I'm also not happy that we only got a digital single. At least one B-Side would've been important in my opinion (to use it as chance to show a slightly different take maybe more vocal RnB focused). But overall very happy with the release. Of course I wish Ahyeon well and hope she can join the group later Ahyeon was marketed as #1 choice, most likely leader and center of the group, maybe the most popular member of them all. They obviously wanted her to debut. So having her not debut must've been a difficult decision. Maybe the first delay (from September to November) was already an attempt to wait for Ahyeon. Prioritizing health (if thats the truth) is the right decision. But everybody would've complained if they delayed the debut again (yet another group that YG delays into oblivion). So if you get bashed either way, then just debut them as is (it will be a success no matter what) and bolster your stock price as well as distract from your legal problems. As for the song itself: YG promised that Babymonster would have and represent the "YG DNA". So if they do something new for the debut, everybody would've complained that this is not YG. While staying true to their promise produces complaints that its nothing new. Again either way, YG gets the hate. We got similar situations with Blackpink releases. I think it was the right decisions to go with the YG style but modernize it just enough. We celebrate when other companies stay true to themselves and for example SM releases yet another SM-song, but its "cool" to hate on YG and their GGs. So YG will get the hate no matter what. They then can at least stay true to their own identity.
I super agree! it's either debut them now or wait until later to debut them with the same song. it will get the same reaction. everyone got a good amount of lines and it was a safe song to debut with. Easy to listen to. I actually like the song. They also have many more chances to do other concepts. my thing with yg is that no matter what, they will perform live well. I personally think YG stays the same bc they still provide something that other companies cannot. I still think yg needs more creatives and venture out more ( they keep everything in-house). but the magic of yg is the artists bringing their personality and talents to the music/performance. We've seen big bang, 2ne1, blackpink, akmu, winner, ikon. and treasure do that. Can't wait for baemon to grow and carry that spirit with them
When I watched the MV, there’s so many references that I can think of specially from Blackpink and Treasure From the arrangement to visual background to the dance choreo. The rap line was crazy good though. This is just debut so there’s more to come and hopefully they will comeback stronger and 7.
Following the baseball motif: batters who are next stand in the on deck circle, when it’s their turn the umpire calls “batter up”. Baby Monster has been on deck for a while now it’s their turn hence Batter Up.
This is a BOP and the girls look amazing, great M/V. So happy for the girls. Vocals are amazing, rap line is on fire, visuals are insane, dancing is on point. Thanks for your reaction, I can't get enough of this song. Also, I think its right to debut now with the six amazing girls. People were already getting restless. I love Ahyeon so much (my bias) but debut now, and I hope to god she joins them when she feels better.
If (hopefully when) Ahyeon comes back into the group I could see her doing the high note over the party ending for sure! I think maybe her health issues were what pushed the debut back so much in the first place, but YG really wanted to get this group out by the end of the year and had to make the call to just have the 6 of them. There are some parts of the choreo that really seem to be leaving an empty space for someone which gives me hope but you never know with YG, we’ve all been burnt before lol
Nice debut btu hope next songs will be more detached from the BP inspirations and forge a real group identity 👍 and hope ahyeo will recover to debut all together 🙏
This debut really screams YG, but same as you, I hope they'll differ Baemon's sounds and contain more vocals cause as we knew they have great vocalist. So hopefully next release there's more identity. And also Ahyeon's situation seems sus. But let's just see.
Honestly my thought on their debut is the debut date was initially pushed back because of Ahyeon and they might've waited for her and they might have had a problem picking the songs because they might have chosen another one other Batter Up because it would suit the 7 members but then Ahyeon could not join the debut any moment soon that's why they changed plans last minute and re-do the plans? Re-record and choregraphy. But these are the story I've made with myself. And the longer YG would drag the debut date the more they would be hated but of course fans would not understand that. This debut strategy is still good they made an impact and they will more once Ahyeon joins. That's another reason that the group name would make a noise.
@@realchocochocoit literally sounds like Money, especially the chorus. listen to the instrumental of Money and Batter Up chorus, they are both the same
Ohhh also, I can understand what you're trying to say in your ending thoughts but.... It's JUST the debut and also as I said in my earlier comment, they had no choice but to debut babymonster so they might have just made this song from scratch just for the sake of debut with every working YG formula so again please don't judge them and YG too early cos it's JUST ONE SONG
In their predebut era, I'm afraid Rora will be overshadowed by other members, but after i watched their debut, she caught my attention the most during whole video, plus her voice 😍
It's clear they have the YG dna engrained to them. I think they are and will be unrivaled for the whole 5th gen GG (even BG) They will be getting brand deals and ambassadorships within their first year. I bet they will also get invited to a lot of shows and events. YG will capitalize in everything for sure. The girls are already killing the game. Our future record breakers are here! Blackpink is my ultimate group but Babymonster is now a close second.
Asa rap is so good I don't even stan her in pre debut but she is remarkable. Obviously they're pushing Chiquita as the center of BM this is how I see it, but I think if Ahyeon is there it will be different.
I watched your videos when you checked the performance videos 4 months ago I think and since then I’ve been waiting for you to react to the debut !! and I’m so excited to see you reaction and opinions on the debut!!!!
I think this debut feels very safe somehow. Very typical YG style with treasure vibes. But it isn't the end of the world. It's only their debut and they will have time to create their identity with time. I am looking forward to their performances or even dance practice! I heard people saying being safe and not distinct from debut will hurt their career as the competition is very tough in this generation. But it's a YG group so they'll probably do fine.
Here’s my 5 cent. A lot of ppl will said oh this is really YG coded, similar like BP n so on. Look, the girls choose YG because they were influence with YG artist. With their concept, the style. Ive been YG fan for decade. If BM suddently debut with cute high school theme, i will be taken aback a bit and i dont think YG is expertise in that area. Same like others, i want to see something new fresh but not too far from their hip hop style. Slight changes but the base, the concept remain the same.
I am hoping the Ahyeon situation is why BM debuted with a single. Maybe they will comeback in just a few short months with a mini album or EP with all seven members. That’s my hope anyway.
So I don't know if you can see my comment in this sea of comments but still I'm going to write it cos we have a connection..... Connection of being a YG artists fan for long time (I'm here since 2008) So, I know that all this "health issues" can get really really sad ending (specially if it's YG) but I got different feelings this time.. reason - YG already tried to delay debut because of they probably wanted to debut all 7 of them togather but it wasn't possible from now on because if you're following k-pop news recently then you'd know that 1. YG stocks were all time low because of blackpink's uncertain future, but still they tried to hold on babymonster until all members are fit to debut....... Until 2. YG (YHS) got imprisoned for 6 months and that really really dented companies reputation. So they absolutely didn't have any option but to debut Babymonster as 6 members group. Now, why I have different (positive) feeling about Ahyeon's situation? Because YG already delayed the debut and tried their best to wait for her... And most importantly, I haven't seen YG responding to the fake rumours of member's potential leaving this fast.. ever. Like they responded in JUST 3-4 hours. Also we can see few hints that YG is trying to show us that "someone" is missing from the M/V teaser.
I love all the girls of Babymonster. I watched them since they were introduced and been waiting for their debut. I think it's their strategy to not include Ahyeon in the debut and save her for the next song so more people will still be hyped to watch the group. I just hope they are not stalling bad news regarding Ahyeon. Like maybe she left the company and just saying she is just resting and still in the group just not the debut. Hoping for the best for Babymonster...

Of course YG wants Ahyeon to comeback, because that would be massive hit to the group if Ahyeon wouldn't be in Babymonster, i think it's like Jennie would leave blackpink, she was suppose to be face and center of the group
Yang Hyunsuk prepared this group for 5 years, he wrote his name under this group as an executive producer and main producer, we can say a lot bad about him, but i genuinly believe that he has strong plans for this group, considered the fact that, WINNER, IKON, TREASURE lost it's members he 100% considered the fact that something might happen to the member's health or mental health especially since they're so young
So in the end i think, that YG still have hopes for Ahyeon's comeback, and as soon as she recovers and she'll be ready we will see BABYMONSTER OT7 comeback with an album (january, february 100%)
edit: Yeah, YG confirmed that they don't have scheduled promotions for batter up, it just screams that they're waiting for Ahyeon, i understand, but at the same time kinda feel unfair for other 6 girls?

I don't know why, but in most groups I instinctively pick (one of the) the rapper(s) as my bias, mostly even before I even know that this is their position, so just based off of visuals and vibe. And Ruka and Asa...holy moly. I'm very content with my choice.
You like the rappers, maybe because they're charismatic. Rappers are mainly charismatic and captivating, and their presence are strong.
its just a yg thing
@@noorusmah not for me; it happens like literally 90% of the time.. xD
Yall their voices are so mature im living for this!!!
The chorus melody gives Money and Lalisa and the outro gives Jikjin vibes
I think they used the same sample beat?? That’s why it sounds familiar
Finally! So far you are the most REASONABLE reactor. And I agree with what you have said. It’s their identity under YG’s company.
So many kpopies said that they just like BP, ressemble of 2ne1 & BP, no fresh concept,like what do you expect from YG? YG is still being YG, they can't or never change their face. YG still not have to follow the kpop mainstream because they had their own trend. 🔥
which is bad, it's over and kinda sick of it now
they need to evolve
freakin enjoyed that so much. top tier level of quality. will be recommending ttheir to more people!!
It has mass appeal. I don’t think the average fan won’t really know about the YG formula or care. It’s a bop. That’s really all that matters in the end.
14 yrs olds Chiquita, OMG , she born to be star.
They did so good ❤️
I completely agree with everything you said. With ASA in the writing, composing and producing credits is getting me so excited for them to put their own flavor to their next songs 😎🔥
People in the comments saying they are too yg style and needs to have their own concept is making me laugh. When YG debuted Treasure, people say i hope they do more hiphop yg style concepts. when blackpink debuted, people say they are 2ne1 coded and all. People do u realised that YG always do hiphop style, the yg dna to debut their girl groups. YG is known to do this kind of concept on their girl groups. That’s how they market their girl groups, the yg style like what this reactor is saying. People complain too much tbh 😅
Same thoughts initially. That YG could've showcased the strong suits of these girls. But thinking about it now, I'm glad that they didn't.
I think YG's intention here is to establish that BABYMONSTER has the famous YG DNA. These babies will develop their sound eventually and inject their talents into it little by little. Baby steps for these lil Monsters, I'm sure in time they'll devour KPop and will leave no crumbs.
And have you observed that when Asa was rapping "baby boss" she is wearing Blackpink, because Blackpink is the "Boss B*tch".😅 And when Ruka said "Square Up passed the baton". Square Up is Blackpink Album.😊 Sisters !!!!! And the respect !
Honestly their rappers Ruka and Asa are phenomenal. I think Haram also slayed with her attitude overall great song, choreography could’ve been better but I gotta see a performance
I've been waiting for this reaction the entire day... Finally!
Love The Thai Girls 😍 The Real Baby Monster Chiquita and The Real Visual Vokal Master Pharita 🔥🔥
In my opinion Pharita owned the debut era
than you finally someone said it because that girl ate everything up.
right ... the sting like a bee part is chef’s kiss ! her, asa, and ruka surprised me in this one
Absouletly true. My girl always slayyyyy
She did, she clearly did
but ruka safe the song.
Girl I had been waiting for your reaction!!! THIS SONG SLAPS
Pharita surprised me a lot, her parts were the best in my opinion🎉❤
I love her parts too, and her visual is just 🔥
Same, she't not my bias but she killed it. Pharita, ruka, and asa slayed
YG is YG stop saying they recycled music's, that's what makes YG unique they make these stories and make it incredible and there's many connections like bp
I hope they will find thier identity as artist
Not too YG style
Its so predictable
But they are sooo talented ❤
Same… hoping to see more of their own style soon. I will continue to support them because they’re all talented
They are signed under YG even though it's predictable it's been proven to work more than once. I can't imagine this group will change.
@@iridescentdragons114 yeah its ok to have YG style but here its showed up too much
For theirs talents and hard works they deserve the best
@@sugarsugar3044 same 💗💗💗✨
I understand that they waited long so it's good they got to debut this year! But I still wish Ahyeon was there, I hope she recovers quickly :(
I feel like I kinda need this reaction video because I was seeing all negative comments and articles about their debut mv all over again
Batter Up sounds like the La Lisa MV had a baby with the Money Instrumental!
Asa’s is a monster in the female rap for fifth gen, and that’s given because yg are full of monsters. Can’t wait for the next comeback. N next reaction could you check out boysplanet group called Onepact. They have three debut songs out right now, and they officially debut Thursday on the 30th.
Its giving Money and Du Ddu Du Ddu in the chorus. I love it 😍
And batter up sounds like bEtter up. I think it's on purpose
I really hope Ahyeon can join on the first comeback. All 7 worked hard for this debut. I hope YG did not lie when they said she is still part of the group.
As i noticed from the first time I heard this song! The MONEY vibes 😅🔥❤️🔥 thats why very familiar. And they nailed it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🔥
My take: Personally, I loved the song. It felt like classic YG but with a strong (enough) modern evolution, so best of both worlds for my taste. Of course its amazing that ASA got composing and lyric credits on the debut, what's very promising for the future. The song has insane rap parts without loosing the vocals and individuality of each member in the song / mixing. Everybody got their moment to shine. Its obviously designed with modern sensibilities in mind (tiktok etc.) but I love that we also finally got a full 3+ min song from YG again. I even like the lyrics. Very confident but without coming across arrogant (I don't want anything but your heart), without looking down on the listener (I would never do you wrong) and even being inclusive (everybody ... We are the monsters of the world ... Let's run anywhere). If I had to critique something it would be that the second chorus should have build on and not repeat the first chorus. I'm also not happy that we only got a digital single. At least one B-Side would've been important in my opinion (to use it as chance to show a slightly different take maybe more vocal RnB focused). But overall very happy with the release. Of course I wish Ahyeon well and hope she can join the group later
Ahyeon was marketed as #1 choice, most likely leader and center of the group, maybe the most popular member of them all. They obviously wanted her to debut. So having her not debut must've been a difficult decision. Maybe the first delay (from September to November) was already an attempt to wait for Ahyeon. Prioritizing health (if thats the truth) is the right decision. But everybody would've complained if they delayed the debut again (yet another group that YG delays into oblivion). So if you get bashed either way, then just debut them as is (it will be a success no matter what) and bolster your stock price as well as distract from your legal problems. As for the song itself: YG promised that Babymonster would have and represent the "YG DNA". So if they do something new for the debut, everybody would've complained that this is not YG. While staying true to their promise produces complaints that its nothing new. Again either way, YG gets the hate. We got similar situations with Blackpink releases. I think it was the right decisions to go with the YG style but modernize it just enough. We celebrate when other companies stay true to themselves and for example SM releases yet another SM-song, but its "cool" to hate on YG and their GGs. So YG will get the hate no matter what. They then can at least stay true to their own identity.
I super agree! it's either debut them now or wait until later to debut them with the same song. it will get the same reaction. everyone got a good amount of lines and it was a safe song to debut with. Easy to listen to. I actually like the song. They also have many more chances to do other concepts. my thing with yg is that no matter what, they will perform live well. I personally think YG stays the same bc they still provide something that other companies cannot. I still think yg needs more creatives and venture out more ( they keep everything in-house). but the magic of yg is the artists bringing their personality and talents to the music/performance. We've seen big bang, 2ne1, blackpink, akmu, winner, ikon. and treasure do that. Can't wait for baemon to grow and carry that spirit with them
I thought the sameeee!! I felt like I was the only one who heard money’s instrumental in the chorus haha
I LOVED IT! The more you listen the better it becomes
So good to see your hair growing so fast omgggg 💖💖 you look so good !
When I watched the MV, there’s so many references that I can think of specially from Blackpink and Treasure From the arrangement to visual background to the dance choreo. The rap line was crazy good though. This is just debut so there’s more to come and hopefully they will comeback stronger and 7.
Following the baseball motif: batters who are next stand in the on deck circle, when it’s their turn the umpire calls “batter up”. Baby Monster has been on deck for a while now it’s their turn hence Batter Up.
SHEESH! Is out! Can’t wait to see your reaction 🥹
This is a BOP and the girls look amazing, great M/V. So happy for the girls.
Vocals are amazing, rap line is on fire, visuals are insane, dancing is on point.
Thanks for your reaction, I can't get enough of this song.
Also, I think its right to debut now with the six amazing girls. People were already getting restless.
I love Ahyeon so much (my bias) but debut now, and I hope to god she joins them when she feels better.
If (hopefully when) Ahyeon comes back into the group I could see her doing the high note over the party ending for sure! I think maybe her health issues were what pushed the debut back so much in the first place, but YG really wanted to get this group out by the end of the year and had to make the call to just have the 6 of them. There are some parts of the choreo that really seem to be leaving an empty space for someone which gives me hope but you never know with YG, we’ve all been burnt before lol
Let's support our Girls!
Chiquita facial expressions is so cool i love her😍
YG party endings are the best trade mark
i agree!!! it's always such a fun way to end a fun song ❤
YEYYY I'M WAIYING FOR YOUR REACTION, THANKYOUUU
This song has already been a proof that they will not be as huge as their senior sister group,no matter what.
there's an article before that they will have the hiphop and rnb genre, so i'm expecting them to release a rnb song in the future
This.
Asa's rap part is so cool she help also lyrics by Asa and also composed by Asa wow!
RAMI, CHIQUITA AND PHARITA OWNED THIS DEBUT
I was waiting for your reaction🎉 love u❤
Nice debut btu hope next songs will be more detached from the BP inspirations and forge a real group identity 👍 and hope ahyeo will recover to debut all together 🙏
This debut really screams YG, but same as you, I hope they'll differ Baemon's sounds and contain more vocals cause as we knew they have great vocalist. So hopefully next release there's more identity.
And also Ahyeon's situation seems sus. But let's just see.
5:13 I really hope they all start wearing those horn “monster” clips. I could become a signature
6:48 8:03 the instrumental in the chorus actually reminded me of LISA's song Money too
This is YG
They really give some space at the back !! Plss ahyeon be back we want to see you do this dance
people can say anything about the song but they can't denied that babymonster is full of talented people.
Honestly my thought on their debut is the debut date was initially pushed back because of Ahyeon and they might've waited for her and they might have had a problem picking the songs because they might have chosen another one other Batter Up because it would suit the 7 members but then Ahyeon could not join the debut any moment soon that's why they changed plans last minute and re-do the plans? Re-record and choregraphy. But these are the story I've made with myself.
And the longer YG would drag the debut date the more they would be hated but of course fans would not understand that. This debut strategy is still good they made an impact and they will more once Ahyeon joins. That's another reason that the group name would make a noise.
Chiquita ❤❤❤❤ is my fav....asa is good too❤❤❤
Yeah it kinda sounds the instrumental from money but I'll be honest their debut is a 100/10❤️🔥
sorry but no. Sounds more like Bona Bona since Hyunsuk and Treasure producers made the song.
@@realchocochocoit literally sounds like Money, especially the chorus. listen to the instrumental of Money and Batter Up chorus, they are both the same
@@michaelrobosa146 sorry nope. Its close to Bona Bona. Even Blinks are saying this isnt sounding like Money.
@@realchocochoco They literally sound similar to Lisa’s money like even I can hear that
@@realchocochocojust you didn't like the song it doesn't mean that other people will not like it and honestly yg trademark is the best
In a short video posted on YG's official UA-cam channel, founder Yang Hyun-suk described BABYMONSTER as a group of "babies with YG's DNA."
The sample used in the chorus is the same as in MONEY by LISA, it’s in the “Sounds of KSHMR Vol 3” Sample Pack
I am pretty sure every well seasoned K-POP fan has history with YG. I'll never forget what they did to 2NE1.
Ohhh also, I can understand what you're trying to say in your ending thoughts but.... It's JUST the debut and also as I said in my earlier comment, they had no choice but to debut babymonster so they might have just made this song from scratch just for the sake of debut with every working YG formula so again please don't judge them and YG too early cos it's JUST ONE SONG
YG's signature outrooo to every YG artist isss soooooo crazyyyyyy
i’ve been waiting for ur reaction😁
finally
In their predebut era, I'm afraid Rora will be overshadowed by other members, but after i watched their debut, she caught my attention the most during whole video, plus her voice 😍
The chorus was so bona bona😭
It's clear they have the YG dna engrained to them. I think they are and will be unrivaled for the whole 5th gen GG (even BG) They will be getting brand deals and ambassadorships within their first year. I bet they will also get invited to a lot of shows and events. YG will capitalize in everything for sure. The girls are already killing the game. Our future record breakers are here! Blackpink is my ultimate group but Babymonster is now a close second.
I watched this and was greeted by a Baemon commercial haha. I am happy.
Asa rap is so good I don't even stan her in pre debut but she is remarkable. Obviously they're pushing Chiquita as the center of BM this is how I see it, but I think if Ahyeon is there it will be different.
I watched your videos when you checked the performance videos 4 months ago I think and since then I’ve been waiting for you to react to the debut !!
and I’m so excited to see you reaction and opinions on the debut!!!!
they are so talented i just hope yg chages the game a bit ... the whols song feel like a deja vu mashup so is the mv
Está simplesmente lindo o MV Babymonster arrasando ❤❤
I think this debut feels very safe somehow. Very typical YG style with treasure vibes. But it isn't the end of the world. It's only their debut and they will have time to create their identity with time. I am looking forward to their performances or even dance practice!
I heard people saying being safe and not distinct from debut will hurt their career as the competition is very tough in this generation. But it's a YG group so they'll probably do fine.
At the very start, I thought I saw Gangnam style dance moves shoutout. Chiquita put out a smile doing it.
Here’s my 5 cent. A lot of ppl will said oh this is really YG coded, similar like BP n so on. Look, the girls choose YG because they were influence with YG artist. With their concept, the style. Ive been YG fan for decade. If BM suddently debut with cute high school theme, i will be taken aback a bit and i dont think YG is expertise in that area.
Same like others, i want to see something new fresh but not too far from their hip hop style. Slight changes but the base, the concept remain the same.
I am hoping the Ahyeon situation is why BM debuted with a single. Maybe they will comeback in just a few short months with a mini album or EP with all seven members. That’s my hope anyway.
BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION, DAMN!!! 😭
Haters gonna hate, even in full force on Baemon's debut but they can never bring them down. Baemon def ate that up.
So I don't know if you can see my comment in this sea of comments but still I'm going to write it cos we have a connection..... Connection of being a YG artists fan for long time (I'm here since 2008)
So, I know that all this "health issues" can get really really sad ending (specially if it's YG) but I got different feelings this time.. reason -
YG already tried to delay debut because of they probably wanted to debut all 7 of them togather but it wasn't possible from now on because if you're following k-pop news recently then you'd know that 1. YG stocks were all time low because of blackpink's uncertain future, but still they tried to hold on babymonster until all members are fit to debut....... Until
2. YG (YHS) got imprisoned for 6 months and that really really dented companies reputation. So they absolutely didn't have any option but to debut Babymonster as 6 members group.
Now, why I have different (positive) feeling about Ahyeon's situation? Because YG already delayed the debut and tried their best to wait for her... And most importantly, I haven't seen YG responding to the fake rumours of member's potential leaving this fast.. ever. Like they responded in JUST 3-4 hours. Also we can see few hints that YG is trying to show us that "someone" is missing from the M/V teaser.
The song sounds a bit similar with the song of Treasure called BONA BONA.)(if the speed changed)
I love all the girls of Babymonster. I watched them since they were introduced and been waiting for their debut.
I think it's their strategy to not include Ahyeon in the debut and save her for the next song so more people will still be hyped to watch the group.
I just hope they are not stalling bad news regarding Ahyeon. Like maybe she left the company and just saying she is just resting and still in the group just not the debut.
Hoping for the best for Babymonster...
