Psy's eagerly anticipated first girl group, Baby DONT Cry. Psy, who assumed the role of father, and Jeon So-yeon, who played the mother role, enthusiastically celebrated their debut.
On the 23rd, after Baby DONT Cry debuted, Psy and Jeon So-yeon actively promoted their music through their respective Instagram accounts. Psy confidently showcased the visuals of the members, who he regards as his children, and Jeon So-yeon, who produced Baby DONT Cry's debut album, passionately highlighted it.
Baby DONT Cry not only embodies 'pretty girls' but also represents a new generation of girl groups with bold and confident personalities. Their signature genre, 'baby rock', combines cuteness with a confident music style. The debut of Baby DONT Cry, which breaks the existing molds, has stirred the music industry.
The stage for members Lee Hyun, Kumi, Mia, and Benny was unveiled for the first time at their debut showcase held at Blue Square in Yongsan, Seoul, on the 23rd. The four members captivated the stage with impressive performances that belied their status as rookies.
Leader Lee Hyun said, "While there is pressure being the first girl group of P Nation, I wanted to do even better because of that. Today marks the beginning of a dream." The youngest, Benny, noted, "The CEO (Psy) always says that the stage is meant to be enjoyed. His words encouraging us to stand on stage without regrets really helped today."
Lee Hyun emphasized, "We will go beyond the cute and delicate image and create pure yet powerful music," while Kumi explained, "Our charm is the poppin' candy-like boldness." Mia added, "I want to be remembered as a lovely group that approaches anyone with confidence."
The debut single 'F Girl', released at 6 p.m. that day, carries a message challenging standardized criteria such as gender and numbers. Set against an upbeat guitar riff, it features a bold call to "respect me as I am." Baby DONT Cry presented their daring first greeting to the world through this song.
Jeon So-yeon, who made a significant contribution to shaping the musical character, was especially appreciated by the members, who expressed their gratitude by saying, "We are so thankful for your support since our trainee days." Mia specifically remarked, "I was really nervous during the first recording, but you took care of my mental state and directed me accurately, so I could adapt quickly."
Their goal is undoubtedly the rookie award. Lee Hyun stated, "I definitely want to win the rookie award. It’s an honor that can only be won once after debuting. I will work that much harder," expressing her aspirations. Benny remarked, "I am charismatic on stage, but off stage I have a girl-like contrast," adding, "I want to be a lovely and confident healing idol that people can turn to when they need healing."
It remains to be seen what impact Baby DONT Cry will have on the music industry starting with 'F Girl.'
