BABYMONSTER’s “SHEESH” Music Video Earns Wildly Mixed Reactions From Netizens 

On April 1, YG Entertainment released BABYMONSTER‘s music video for “SHEESH.” Anticipation for the comeback has been building, especially since the announcement that Ahyeon would join the group for the release.

However, there have also been some less-than-positive reactions leading to the video, with many centered around comparisons to BLACKPINK.

BABYMONSTER Can’t Escape BLACKPINK Comparisons With New “SHEESH” Teaser

Some similarities are expected from the same label; however, the comparisons continue with the video’s release.

Fans of the group complimented the music video and the members’ talents in the video’s comments. Some even felt this video set them apart from BLACKPINK, going for a darker “girl crush” vibe, comparable to the Monster High doll series.

On the other hand, K-Nets felt differently about the vibe of the release. Many were complimentary towards the group and their talents but felt that the resemblance to BLACKPINK was still very strong, even saying it felt like a cover of a BLACKPINK song.

• “There are styling and directing choices that instantly bring BLACKPINK members to mind…”
• “Please stop producing, Yang Hyun Suk.”
• “It’s not really my type of music… It feels like BLACKPINK’s songs, but besides their early releases, I haven’t liked them much… It’s a shame because all the members are pretty and talented.”
• “It seems like there’s no change… Just the same songs, same singing style, same outfits, and same music videos with just younger faces swapped in.”
• “It feels like another team covered BLACKPINK’s songs, but with an old-fashioned twist.”
• “Although the song itself feels like a downgrade from BLACKPINK’s style, the talent is still there.”
