YG Entertainment kicked off 2023 with a bang: A new girl group named BABYMONSTER will be making its debut soon, and the level of excitement among K-Pop fans is running high!
Following the teaser that garnered international attention, alleged member Ahyeon has gone viral with her “pre-debut” pictures circulating on the internet.
While nothing has been verified by YG Entertainment, all pictures are said to be of the “member in a red shirt” from the teaser.
Said to be born in April 2007, Ahyeon (or Jung Ahyeon) is being considered an “all-rounder”…
…with an admission ticket to the prestigious Hanlim Arts High School!
An Instagram post from a theatrical Performance Group Jiwoo shared Ahyeon (far left) dancing to (G)I-DLE‘s “TOMBOY” on stage…
…while a YouTube video from Ahyeon’s middle school in Chuncheon, Gangwon captured her performing an Anne-Marie song, “2002,” for a talent show.
