In a significant moment for the rookie girl group, BABYMONSTER had the honor of performing as the opening act for 2NE1’s “WELCOME BACK” concert in Seoul on October 6.

The performance created a bridge between generations, symbolizing the continuation of YG’s powerful legacy of girl groups.

During the concert, BABYMONSTER members Ahyeon and Rami paid tribute to 2NE1 with special acapella performances of some of the group’s iconic hits. Ahyeon gave a stirring rendition of “Ugly,” while Rami delivered an emotional performance of “Lonely.” These heartfelt covers showcased not only their vocal talents but also their deep admiration for 2NE1, whom they consider role models, as they proudly identified themselves as fellow Blackjacks (2NE1 fans).

With ‘DRIP’ on the horizon and BABYMONSTER’s growing presence in the K-pop world, the group is poised for a breakthrough moment when their album drops on November 1, 2024.
