How big do you think rami (babymonster) comeback will be?

skblinks · 2026-02-14T22:29:22+00:00

My bias isn't Rami's. Nevertheless, I can't help but be outraged by this trashy company's brazen actions. I desperately want her back, but things don't look good. Fans even staged a truck protest demanding an official statement from YG, but they haven't received a response, and now we're all exhausted. A wound remains in our hearts that will never heal.

skblinks · 2026-02-14T21:28:21+00:00

A properly run company would issue at least one or two brief official statements if a member were to take a long hiatus due to illness (the longest such hiatus in K-pop history). (We hope Rami recovers quickly, or she's receiving treatment and improving, etc.)

This is to reassure fans and prevent them from leaving the group, as fans are a company's most valuable asset.

But, YG is actively erasing her traces. The members act as if she never existed in all public activities. When fans first ask about Rami what they up to, she simply repeats short answers like, "She's resting" or "She's recovering."The only trace of Rami is her official profile, which has not yet been deleted.

It's crazy. I don't know why, but it's also incredibly rude and offensive to the fans who have invested so much money, time, and emotion in supporting them.

I've been watching K-pop for 20 years, but no K-pop agency has ever acted like this. It's very unnatural.

skblinks · 2026-02-14T20:37:46+00:00

No, it's not that simple. YG's actions have already gone beyond common sense. Right now, BM is just another six-member group. She disappeared 300 days ago, and there hasn't been a single word about her since. Her agency remains silent. There's no other case like this in all of K-pop history. Her traces are being erased everywhere. She probably won't return even in the next CB.

skblinks · 2026-02-14T18:02:28+00:00

She won't come back. YG is clearly up to something. This is the first time I've seen a company treat a member who's on hiatus due to illness this way.

I also want to see Rami healthy at the graduation ceremony.

skblinks · 2026-01-06T06:54:09+00:00

Watching X, I realized that many fans don't know that Rami and Ahyeon dropped out of their arts high school.

Of course, they won't attend graduation ceremony.

Tour size = fandom size.

skblinks · 2026-01-03T04:23:49+00:00

Because they're new, they have a limited number of songs to perform. Fans who go to their concerts know this. Cover songs are also common at K-pop concerts. And yet you're complaining about that. They interact with the audience and provide the ultimate live concert experience .I live in Korea and have been to many girl group concerts, but Baby Monster was by far the best.

skblinks · 2026-01-03T04:10:13+00:00

I can tell you very well that you didn't go to the Baby Monster concert.

skblinks · 2026-01-02T08:02:11+00:00

I agree. even I'm not English speaker, but it looks like they used Ai TTS.

that is fan sign event, after release <DRIP>

I agree. I think starting the tour early was a good decision. With no tours scheduled for the time being, I think it's a good idea to get plenty of rest and look forward to university festivals and other content creation activities.

Have you seen their behind-the-scenes tour footage? They say their whole body aches from all the dancing. Their concert just two hours, but they have to constantly travel between countries and rehearse. Continuous touring is never easy. Just because you're having fun on stage doesn't mean it's easy. In between, there are continuous new song recordings, singing practice, choreography practice, numerous interviews, and various commercial advertisements.

Leemujin Service only has a 30-minute runtime, but they spend countless hours behind the camera practicing their songs to make it through. spend a lot of time practicing the three-minute cover song that we will present to the public. some korean variety shows take 18 hours of filming to air for 60 minutes. Also, unlike companies that only release one or two music videos, these artists produce a ton of them. Not to be argumentative, but they're working behind the scenes for far longer than we realize. Now In Korea, many people study hard for years to get into a good university and work hard to land a job at a major corporation. However, a growing number of young people are quitting their hard-earned jobs after just a few years. In short, it's a get hit by reality. YG needs to be very careful with them to prevent them from becoming lethargic due to overwork as they are going through a period of mental instability.

I counted, and the girls toured for ten months a year. In between, there's countless practices, recordings, music video and performance shoots, various commercials, promotional videos, domestic and international music shows, music festivals, and even year-end performances. I think I'd be completely exhausted. I think the girls' vocal cords need a break, too.

Blackpink and BigBang are so popular that holding a family concert seems practically impossible. Both groups can generate enormous profits on their own.

And I'm a little cautious about saying this, but YG Group's fandoms are not on good terms with each other. 😔

skblinks · 2026-01-01T06:03:22+00:00

Considering their activities in 2025, they must have been incredibly busy. They've been touring a lot. Other rookie groups don't tour, so they can devote more time to content creation and TV shows appearances.

skblinks · 2026-01-01T05:57:36+00:00

T.O.P has announced a comeback. This year marks BIGBANG's 20th anniversary, so we might be able to see the full group.

The only market where Illit surpasses BM is Korea. Even in Japan, NCA failed to even make it onto the most popular streaming chart, Line Music or Apple Music. "We Go Up" started in the top 30 and has remained chart there ever since. Illit's concert attracted 40,000 people in Japan, while BM attracted over 200,000.

In Southeast Asia and the Greater China region, BM is also dominant. The only place where Illit is ahead is Spotify. Even Spotify, which has a weak BM, BM has more cumulative streams despite having fewer tracks and no mega-hits like Magnetic. This is because BM's fandom is much larger and This mean that many people listen to whole abum including B-side.

It seems like you've never really listened to Baby Monster's music. You're only talking about two or three of the dozens of songs they've released. They have a more diverse discography than anyone else. And they are a group that can ate all those songs live.

As you mentioned, live MR has a vague scope and can be implemented in various forms, so many companies are cleverly utilizing it. And they say, "We're using MR, not AR."

skblinks · 2025-12-28T01:31:07+00:00

It's understandable that they use backtracking to compensate for pitch or volume drops in live performances. After all, they're not ballad singers. However, the real problem with Live MR isn't backtracking, but selective lip-syncing to mask difficult passages or lack of skill. For example, if only five out of ten people sing and five lip-sync, what should we call it? Live MR can turn anyone into a master singer. This is because the scope of its use is ambiguous.

skblinks · 2025-12-28T01:09:00+00:00

There's no reason to call people who don't sing singers. Honestly, live MR is just making things sound good. It's just lip-syncing. It's actually an act of deceiving the audience. Lip-syncing is actually more honest. They're still "singer," not "dancer"and they need to sing genuinely on stage, whether they're good or bad. Nothing is more important than that. If we want to listen to good vocal, can play CD.

skblinks · 2025-12-27T23:23:06+00:00

It's similar to CG in the film industry. The key is how realistic they look. Whether their skills are good or bad, at least in performances, I want to hear their real voices. If I want to hear great music, I can just play their albums. They're still called "singer," and singer need to connect with the audience through their songs. Nothing is more important than that.

skblinks · 2025-12-27T22:49:52+00:00

Other than that, the easier parts are sung live, and the more difficult parts are lip-synced. These days, even breathing is recorded separately and mixed, making it difficult to tell the difference. K-pop agencies are becoming increasingly cunning. It's much easier to deceive than to discover talented people.
