YG Entertainment's next girl group project 'YG NEXT MONSTER' has its first contender, Ibeli, whose performance video is generating a strong reaction from K-pop fans. Responses such as 'not only the dance but the facial expressions are insane' keep coming in.

On the 11th at midnight, YG revealed Ibeli's dance performance through its official blog. This marks the second content to be unveiled following the earlier evaluation video that drew attention for its overwhelming rap skills and hip-hop vibe.

In the video, Ibeli showcased a performance with both powerful energy and delicate dance lines. She displayed a sense of rhythm, an intense hip-hop mood, and the ability to command the stage and maintain her center even on a large stage—demonstrating a level of skill that belies her age of 15.

Fans are also showing explosive reactions. Comments such as 'Ibeli is definitely a dance member,' 'she has good proportions, she was born to do this,' 'can this really be possible at 15?' and 'is this the real deal for YG girl group trainees?' are pouring in. In particular, the expression 'she seems like a bit of a crazy character' has resonated with many, increasing expectations for Ibeli's unique character and identity.

Previously, Ibeli made an impression on global fans by covering Doechii's 'Nosebleeds' in her own style. With a distinctive vocal tone, powerful rapping, and natural facial expressions, she quickly gained the title of 'fully-formed trainee.' The video exceeded 10 million views on YouTube in just one week and is currently surpassing 17 million views, continuing to attract attention.

Ibeli, originally from Australia, is also being recognized as a well-rounded artist who is fluent in Korean, English, and Spanish. With just the release of her first performance video shaking global fan sentiment, interest is also focused on the upcoming members to be revealed.

Meanwhile, YG is sequentially revealing the members of the next-generation girl group, which will consist of four members. This project, named 'YG NEXT MONSTER,' is viewed as a signal marking a new beginning in the lineage of YG girl groups following BLACKPINK and BABYMONSTER.
