Some info has been spread early by Korean media outlets that the upcoming girl group will indeed be coming soon, that their name is “BabyMonsters” and that the number of members will be 8 in total.
This girl group will be a multinational one consisting of Koreans, mixed Koreans, Japanese, and more.
It’s said they’ll be 2 units with each having 4 members. It hasn’t been said what their units concept would be, but it is likely that their names will be “BaeMon ” and “BabyMon” according to trademarks that have been near finalization recently.
Many fans have expected that YG would debut a 9 member girl group considering their admiration for SNSD & Twice, as well as the original plan to have BlackPink be 9 members before they officially debuted as 4.
But with the split unit concept + very few girl groups having 8 members, such as Lovelyz and Weki Meki, would make BabyMonsters stand out well.

YG New Girl Group Trainees Spotted Outside Of The YG Building
The video was recorded by a fan and captured five female trainees leaving a van and entering the YG Entertainment building. Many fans are speculating that the new girl group will debut soon with five members.
Earlier this year, YG fans became ecstatic to hear the news of the upcoming girl group named 'Baby Monsters' as a YG insider named Eskimo uploaded a photo with the hashtags 'Cannot wait' and two emoticons of a baby and a monster. These fans speculated that the new girl group would debut soon, and the sighting of the trainees in front of the YG building solidifies the speculation.
The group's official lineup has not been released yet and will only be released right before the group debuts. The new girl group is already gaining attention even before their debut as they are the first girl group to be released by the company after BLACKPINK.
As BLACKPINK continues to gain global popularity, many fans are highly anticipating the new girl group as fans are certain that the new group will be named 'Baby Monsters' after the company filed trademarks to 'Baemon' short for 'Baby Monsters.'
