Baby DONT Cry, a group characterized as 'Psy's girl group', announced the successful launch of their debut album with eye-catching visuals and high-quality performances.
The group Baby DONT Cry, which debuted on 23rd, consists of four members: Lee Hyun, Kumi, Mia, and Benny. It catches attention as the first girl group presented by Psy's label, P Nation, in its six-year history.
Due to Psy's unique cheerfulness and witty emotions, there were simultaneous expectations and concerns about 'what kind of girl group would he create?'. However, Psy revealed that he fully entrusted the group's producing to (G)I-DLE's So-yeon, making it clear that excluding the label of 'Psy's girl group', it's not a group he manages from A to Z.
During this process, Psy expressed faith in (G)I-DLE's So-yeon and praised her producing skills. He mentioned in a conversation with producer Na Young-seok, 'I believe So-yeon is a complete ace, an unrivaled ace among the next generation. That’s why So-yeon is in charge of the overall producing.' The group name Baby DONT Cry was also suggested by So-yeon.
The special videos and teasers released during this process heightened expectations for Baby DONT Cry. They creatively utilized various spots in the office, moving away from the structure of previously released practice videos, and expressed the girl group’s lively emotions through intuitive movements.
The dynamic energy and perfect synchronization boasted by their sharp choreography blended in an unbalanced way, highlighting the details and attracting interest with a performance that never gets boring. True to a girl group enhanced by Psy's cheerfulness and (G)I-DLE's So-yeon's candid charm, Baby DONT Cry effectively expressed charisma on stage and the rebellious spirit that teenage girls can convey.
The title track 'F Girl' features lyrics that thrillingly overturn societal benchmarks graded from A to F and conveys a strong message defined by the four members as 'sly yet lovable girls', adding to the charm of 'baby rock'.
Each of the four members' unique personalities also stood out. Kumi's fourth-dimensional charm, Lee Hyun's fairy-like visuals, Mia's chic charisma, and Benny's lovely energy came together to raise expectations for the successful leap of the P Nation girl group. Psy's decision to highlight Jeon So-yeon's producing abilities is seen as potentially increasing the prospects of the four members as ready-made newcomers.
As the debut stage of Baby DONT Cry, created by Psy and refined by Jeon So-yeon, is being unveiled, anticipation is building for future activities. Member Lee Hyun expressed her goals: 'We aim to win the rookie award. Since you can only receive it once after debuting, I really want to get it. I want to become a lovable group that everyone loves. Starting with our debut single, I hope to become a group that receives a lot of love.'
