Cherries or Flame? No. It’s both. Most girl groups debut with a label: cute, cool, elegant, or fierce. But Baby DONT Cry don’t fit the mold—and that’s exactly why everyone’s watching. Produced by i-dle Soyeon, and powered by unapologetic energy, this new K-pop girl group from P NATION is not selling those mediocre and saturated concepts. They break down the rules with something messier, louder, and oddly more honest.
So, if you’re tired of watching girl groups play safely, this might be the one that breaks the system from the inside. And you MUST get to know Baby DONT Cry before they blow up. Because by then, it will be too late. Join us in a complete discussion about this new girl group by Soyeon and why Baby DONT Cry will become Gen Z’s realest K-pop girl group below.
Baby DONT Cry: Why Everyone Talking About Soyeon New K-pop Girl Group?
P NATION’s first girl group was always going to grab attention. But what makes Baby DONT Cry a new, groundbreaking K-pop girl group isn’t just the novelty of being “Psy’s girls”—it’s that they don’t behave like debut rookies at all.

This four-member team—Yihyun, Kumi, Mia, and Beni—emerged through minimalist teasers and a blurry cherry motif that confused more than it revealed. It was way less than polished and not perfectly rolled out.
But still, you just cannot deny that it was magnetic.
While most groups arrive with cookie-cutter archetypes and sparkly storytelling, Baby DONT Cry came in with smoky makeup, slick streetwear, and a cryptic slogan: “You’ll regret it if you let go of your chance right now.”
And this was not just a mere ordinary promo. This tagline became a real warning for you, the most avid K-pop enthusiasts today.
A New K-pop Girl Group That Refuses to Apologize: Gen Z Coded
There’s something jarring about Baby DONT Cry’s energy that’s…deliberately jarring. In a landscape where girl groups are expected to behave, smile, and win you over with likability, Baby DONT Cry just stares straight through the lens.
How? Just look at their pre-released debut MV, “Bet You’ll Regret It.” The MV started with Yihyun doing what you might think, like she’s looking for trouble.
But no.
Because instead of showing those overrated princess or fashion fairies, Soyeon new K-pop girl group, Baby DONT Cry, was simply demonstrating four free spirits wandering through a sharp-edged city, brushing off disrespect like dust.
The track itself—produced, written, and arranged by the one and only K-pop’s dominating female producer, Jeon Soyeon—is a gritty anthem of emotional boundaries.
And yes, Soyeon made a brief cameo in the MV. Her appearance was brief and so unimportant: she merely became a passerby taking footage of the girls on the street. That is why, unlike those cameos that look like piggybacking, Soyeon was simply there to send a loud message: “This group doesn’t need your permission to exist.”
The Soyeon Factor: Not Just a Name Drop for the New Girl Group
Now, let’s dive deeper into the creation process of Baby DONT Cry new K-pop girl group, helmed by the genius K-pop idol/producer Jeon Soyeon. Unlike most producer credits that live in small print, Soyeon has reportedly overseen the entire identity arc of Baby DONT Cry: music, visuals, and concept.
And by doing so, you can see how Soyeon did more than just form a K-pop group to perform. On the other hand, she was trying to build true artists in this overly saturated K-pop market.
Just take a moment to hear the pre-release track, “Bet You’ll Regret It.” And really spend time to hear every beat of the song and watch every detail of the MV. Just as fans shouted, this track had Jeon Soyeon’s signature all over the place. And the girls had done an impeccable job understanding what Soyeon wanted, and they successfully delivered these signatures.
The vocals aren’t polished to robotic smoothness. The MV color grading isn’t filtered for mass consumption. Every element, from the cherry-red accents to the smoky undertone, suggests an intentional rejection of pop polish.
It’s messy, and that’s exactly why it feels real.
Cherries, Smoke, and Streetwear: A Concept That Isn’t a Concept
The styling of Baby DONT Cry stands out without even trying. Streetwear fits, baggy silhouettes, and smudged eyeliner co-exist with soft cherry visuals and girly accents.
Also, make no mistakes. This is not like those standard K-pop duality. Because if you take a closer look, you can see how this style perfectly reflects the iconic style of Gen Z rebellion.
And yes, we’re still trying to find a way to define them. These concepts and images of Baby DON’T Cry are just THAT iconic after all. For now, here are how netizens call them:
- “30% 2NE1, 60% (G)I-DLE, 10% SISTAR.”
- “They look like Jeon Soyeon, HyunA, and a dash of YG.”
- “Not the P NATION vibe I was expecting—and that’s a good thing.”
In the fierce competition of the 5th generation K-pop market, Baby DONT Cry is doing something rare: staying away from the standard K-pop description.
The Visuals Are Strong—But Not the Whole Story
Let’s be honest—everyone in K-pop is pretty. But fans and netizens noticed something different in Baby DONT Cry’s visuals: a subtle unpredictability.
- Yihyun, a former child model and “We Kid” contestant, gives off a strong presence, often compared to Ryujin or early IU.
- Kumi, the Japanese member, has a softer, mischievous edge that balances the group’s harder moments.
- Mia is the face everyone’s talking about—her resemblance to Soyeon and aespa’s Winter sparked immediate buzz.
- Beni, with her youthful, sharp features, rounds out the visual harmony with charisma beyond her age.
But none of them seem trained to sell their visuals. They exist in them. And that’s a subtle but powerful difference.
The Naming Controversy—and Why It Might Be a Blessing in Disguise
When the name Baby DONT Cry dropped, fans of the now-disbanded group BDC (Brand New Music) weren’t happy. Others pointed out the overlap with EXO’s “Baby Don’t Cry” or the upcoming song by girl group cosmosy.
Some laughed at the idea of shortening the name to “Bedonkeu.” Others just shrugged.
But here’s what you need to understand: controversy isn’t a death sentence. In fact, in 2025, it’s almost a rite of passage. The sheer noise surrounding the name gave the group viral traction before their debut.
And the group didn’t backpedal. They didn’t issue PR statements. They just moved forward. Like they always meant to.
“F Girl” Is Coming. So Is the Real Test.
Their official debut single, “F Girl,” drops on June 23, and with it comes the real industry moment. Will they push further into the unapologetic tone, or will they fold under the weight of public expectation?
Either way, their arrival has already proven something: You don’t need to please the system to enter it.
What Baby DONT Cry offers isn’t a perfect product. It’s attitude wrapped in melody, produced by THE Jeon Soyeon, an idol who herself refused to play by the rules.
They don’t need to be the best dancers or vocalists on day one. They just need to stay real enough that you can’t look away.

Finally, K-pop doesn’t have a shortage of talent. What it’s starving for is honesty and authenticity, the kind that make fans root for idols even before they know their names.
And yes, you might think that their concept is such a niche. But that’s the point. Baby DONT Cry won’t be for everyone. They’re not trying to fit in. They’re trying to ignite.
So if you’re still chasing that feeling—the moment you saw a group and knew they were different—this might be your sign to follow the cherries.
Because Baby DONT Cry isn’t here to ask for attention. They’re here to demand it.
