Of course they’d be attending. Not sure if this is them tho.


There is debate about whether HR is Noh Hyerin or another trainee called Kim Haram or even Hyori.

I told myself I wouldn't stan a new rookie girl group because there were so many in the past several years.

But, since this is a new one under YG, I honestly am excited for them.

I’ve been waiting too long. And if Seojin is in this group then.. but she might be solo

Well, since Lisa was speaking about her, then I must become a biased fan of that member immediately.
Although, I might end up having another one. I'll see. :dubuthink:

So the group name will be either Babymonster or New Movement.
BM sounds a bit young because of the word Baby and NM sounds mature.
I hope they're called NM, even though that feels a bit weird to me, but I won't be surprised if the label decides to use the former.

According to the video description, it was sung by YG Trainees Seo Jin Kang and Julie Han.

If the group does not follow BP's route as in girl crush style, I can imagine this as a title track once it's modified as a group song.
If not, an additional track in the new group's album.

I would agree but I think the video description is just making guesses about the known trainees. The producer who posted it said it would not be released anymore, so they scrapped it themselves. If I had to guess I would say it is Seojin. But we don't know anyone else's vocals so hard to know. People were calling Lisa and Rose as CL and Bom in the Forever Young leak in 2015.

Just like people are assuming this song was for bp, but it could have been for ygngg since its sung by a trainee. It gives an idea of style they are possiibly going for, even if it will never be released.

My mistake, then. Well, I hope the new group's producers make the effort have them in a different style/flavor of music by standing out and not becoming a copy of BP.

The hope is that these girls will not be under Teddy and Bekuh Boom. Theres lots of great YG producers. There was actually rumours before that GD is in charge of their music. But since Taeyang moved to Black Label recently, there is also rumors that its Taeyang.

Although I’m not the biggest fan of GD in recent years, can’t deny his music taste or quality. But even with this, I don’t want them associated to anyone problematic.
