More Criticism on OT7 Photo for BABYMONSTER’s Album Release
At the same time, BABYMONSTER is set to release a comeback album on April 1. This album release was supposed to be phenomenal for BABYMONSTER members, especially with the return of Ahyeon.
However, after releasing the promotional picture for the full formation, fans started criticizing YG Entertainment. It seems that despite selling the new girl group as BLACKPINK’s little sister, YG Entertainment appears to have lacked efforts in promoting the group.
When the debut photo hit the internet, the buzz among fans wasn’t quite what you’d expect. It turns out, the excitement for the grand reveal of the group’s full roster didn’t match up to the anticipation, leaving quite a few fans feeling a bit let down by the creativity (or lack thereof) in their promotional strategy and overall concept.
Adding to the intrigue, it appears the photo made its first appearance ahead of schedule. In a curious twist, the same image resurfaced on the group’s social channels, this time as part of the hype for their inaugural mini-album, rather than showcasing a fresh snapshot of the seven members. The fanbase’s reaction? A mix of déjà vu and confusion, echoing their initial sentiments, compounded by the puzzle of why the promotional efforts recycled the identical image.
Still, we still have a few weeks until the release date of BABYMONSTER album. So, please hold your horses and see how YG will pan things out after this.
