BABYMONSTER's recent music video has stirred up discussions as netizens point out the recurring trends in YG's girl group videos.

On November 26, a post on Nate's Pann community board gained traction, titled "TRADITION IN YG'S GIRL GROUP MUSIC VIDEOS FOR 3 GENERATIONS."

The post shared images of YG girl group music videos, highlighting their striking similarities. Many K-netizens are expressing fatigue with the repetitive styles seen in YG girl groups' videos.

The netizen behind the post noted, "Many reactions mention how their MV choruses always seem to follow the same pattern."

BABYMONSTER's new music video, in particular, has been labeled as "outdated" by numerous netizens.

Comments from netizens include:

"They all look the same."

"Looks cheap and outdated."

"Are the directors all the same person?"

"It's almost 2024, and it looks so old."

"Can they please change the music video director? The videos are so mundane."

"The songs all sound similar."

"For how long are they going to use the same pattern over and over? The rap tone even sounds the same."

"There is no freshness."

"BLACKPINK's music videos also seemed quite similar with no creative attempts, but now I am truly fed up."

"It looks cheap. Why didn't they invest more money?"

"It just sounds like 2NE1."

"I don't understand why YG is so scared to make something entirely new. Stop recycling!"

"YG stans will tell you that it's quality over quantity, but honestly, YGE is just lazy. There's no reason to try anything new when the same old has company stans spending money."

"Because making something new comes with risk. Risk aversion is inherent to capitalism. It is not laziness, but greed. Their further reasoning is absolutely correct; there is no incentive to change, and in fact, greedy reasons not to change."

"It's meant for kids and people with low IQ; they eat it up every time."

"It would have been so cool if YG made Baby Monster's concept cute. I would have lost my mind."

"A cute, age-appropriate concept with a touch of mischief might have been fun. Instead, YG served up 2NE1 3.0 with a concept that's too mature for the ages of the members. What a wasted opportunity."

"Sounds like 2NE1? Actually, it sounds very 2023, repetitive chorus, lots of sounds, and instrumentals with no links between them, which is why so many people think K-pop is just noisy music. The only similar thing is the end, which is really 'YG'; they always do something like that at the end of their songs. Honestly, I don't care about an old MV or not having the super HD image that everyone wants. I want a good song to enjoy."

"lol, they have the big 3 privilege, why bother changing if YG stans will forever buy and overhype YG stuff, no matter how crappy it is."

"They're always trying to make a group as good as 2NE1, and it makes sense why they would do that. 2NE1 was amazing. If they debuted today, they'd be huge."

"This is even worse than Teddy's songs."

While Garosero Research Institute (Gaseyeon) continues to make shocking claims about Kim Soo Hyun, YouTuber Lee Jin Ho has stepped up to clear Cha Eun Woo’s name.

On April 3, Lee Jin Ho uploaded a video titled "After Kim Soo Hyun, is Cha Eun Woo next? Fact-checking Gaseyeon’s false claims" on his YouTube channel Entertainment President Lee Jin Ho.

Lee Jin Ho strongly denied Gaseyeon’s claim that Cha Eun Woo didn’t attend Kim Sae Ron’s funeral, saying, “This proves once again that they don’t even check basic facts.”

He added, “Cha Eun Woo was definitely at the funeral. He was there from the first evening until late at night. Multiple people saw him, greeted him, and even sat with him at the table.”

The rumor started on March 31, when Kim Se Ui, a member of Gaseyeon, made a cryptic statement during a live broadcast, saying, “Cha Eun Woo, Cha Eun Woo’s manager, you will face divine punishment.” This immediately sparked speculation.

Cha Eun Woo and Kim Sae Ron were known to be close, especially when she was under Fantagio. They worked together on the web drama To Be Continued and co-hosted Show! Music Core. Fans were surprised when rumors spread that Cha Eun Woo didn’t attend her funeral, but Lee Jin Ho’s statement has now set the record straight.

Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron’s family has taken legal action against Lee Jin Ho, filing a defamation lawsuit on March 17 under the Information and Communications Network Act. Ten days later, they also sued him under the anti-stalking law, accusing him of exposing private details about Kim Sae Ron and her family.
