Not kind and even somewhat bold. Yet, it's strange that I don't find them unlikable.
The girl group Baby DONT Cry, created by Psy, unveiled themselves on the 23rd. Baby DONT Cry, also known as Bedonk, is the first girl group from P Nation, consisting of four members: Lee Hyun, Kumi, Mia, and Benny. Having attracted significant attention before debut with Kid's Jeon So Yeon as their producer, Baby DONT Cry officially debuted with their single 'F Girl', stepping into the music industry.
The identity of Baby DONT Cry is 'boldness.' To capture the public's attention among the flood of new groups, a distinctive team color is essential. They showcased their confidence in their appeal and candidness about wanting others' affection by releasing the pre-debut track titled 'If you miss this moment, you will surely regret it,' which had an unusual title. Furthermore, they chose 'F Girl,' a debut song of a unique genre called 'Baby Rock,' sealing their firm identity in the public's mind.
'F Girl' is a song filled with Baby DONT Cry's unique bold energy. Through 'F Girl,' Baby DONT Cry confidently expressed their attitude against rigid standards that judge people by sexual and numerical values. Especially, the 'Baby Rock' genre, containing solid self-assurance and authenticity amid a lovely and innocent visual, maximized their audacious yet endearing charm.
Recently debuted rookie groups typically include at least one member who has appeared on audition programs and is already known to the public, but the members of Baby DONT Cry are fresh faces that have not been revealed anywhere. Their decision to rely solely on robust skills, visuals, cohesive production, and high-quality songs and performances, without the boost of previous programs or recognition, reflects Baby DONT Cry's bold spirit.
Though composed of teenage girls, Baby DONT Cry boldly discarded the 'purity' commonly showcased by new girl groups. Provocative lyrics such as "I just enjoy playing, but they call me a delinquent," "I just said what I wanted to say, but they say I'm rude," "So what?" and "I don't care about that kind of comment, you can't control!" are close to what is known as 'MZ-style sentiment.'
During the debut showcase, member Lee Hyun conveyed their differentiation by saying, "Going beyond the cute and fragile image, we will make pure yet assertive music." Kumi also introduced the group as "a poppin' candy-like group that is lovely but bold."
The teenage girls depicted by Baby DONT Cry are unadorned and raw. Far from being pure, they sometimes come off as rather annoying. Baby DONT Cry boldly declared 'So what?' to the world's prejudices, completely breaking the mold of the image expected of girls. Nevertheless, their nonchalant facial expressions, reminiscent of those uncharacteristic of rookies, emit an irresistible charm that draws you in more the more you watch.
Meanwhile, Baby DONT Cry appeared on Mnet's 'M Countdown' broadcast on the 26th, showcasing their first performance stage after debut. Successfully concluding their debut ceremony, Baby DONT Cry plans to continue capturing the public's heart with 'F Girl' through various activities.
