Amid ongoing discussions about YG's new girl group member, Ively, the second trainee who will take over the baton will unveil their identity at midnight on the 16th.
On the 13th, YG Entertainment posted a poster announcing this on its official blog. The outline of the upcoming four-member girl group 'YG NEXT MONSTER,' which was personally teased by Chief Producer Yang Hyun-suk, is gradually becoming concrete.
As a junior group of the global top artist BLACKPINK and the next-generation sensation BABYMONSTER, they are drawing notable attention even while still trainees before their debut. The first introduced member, 15-year-old Ively from Australia, has left a strong impression with her exceptional vocal, rap, and dance skills, as well as her proficiency in Korean, English, and Spanish, showcasing her 'all-rounder' capabilities.
In fact, Ively's rap evaluation video surpassed 10 million views on YouTube in just one week, currently amassing 17.37 million views. The dance performance, released two days ago, has also exceeded 3.4 million views, bringing the total combined views of the two videos to 20.77 million.
This vividly demonstrates the explosive reaction from music fans worldwide towards 'YG NEXT MONSTER.' It serves as another successful gamble for Chief Producer Yang Hyun-suk, who aims to be evaluated by the public purely based on skills and talent.
With the first member, Ively, leaving an overwhelming presence, curiosity and anticipation for the soon-to-debut second member are rapidly growing. It remains to be seen what charm these members will possess to captivate the global music market as the new main characters of the YG girl group success myth.
