People didn't think BABYMONSTER's long-awaited launch was very good.

Even though BABYMONSTER's first song, "BATTER UP," has only been out for a few weeks, there have already been a lot of mixed, mostly negative reactions.

Netizens were disappointed that BABYMONSTER's debut was delayed for so long, and their disappointment grew when Ahyeon, the group's most famous member, pulled out of the debut lineup.

When BABYMONSTER first came out, people were disappointed with YG's choice of song and idea.
The sound of "BATTER UP" is very YG, but it is seen as "outdated, repetitive, and lacking the wow factor."

People were hoping that BABYMONSTER would come up with a new sound and idea because the members were so young and looked so good.

Fans are also confused by BABYMONSTER's shockingly low number of raises for a rookie.

It's not true that BABYMONSTER is playing on any music shows or variety shows.

The guys don't do much on social media either.

Fans are saying that YG is to blame for not properly pushing BABYMONSTER.

There are a lot of very competitive 4th generation girl groups in K-pop, like IVE, aespa, LE SSERAFIM, (G)I-DLE, and NewJeans. YG not promoting BABYMONSTER very much is not helping them.

A recent post on a Korean internet community says that BABYMONSTER is having a "re-debut." There is a lot of talk about how Ahyeon might join BABYMONSTER's lineup for their real launch in the future.

YG has already said that Ahyeon might join the group later, but that's the only piece of evidence that supports this idea.

Even though some netizens didn't like BABYMONSTER's debut, a lot of them still supported it because they thought that a good first comeback would change people's minds about them.
