The group Baby DONT Cry was selected by the U.K. magazine NME as a new artist to watch this year.
Baby DONT Cry (Lee Hyun, Kumi, Mia, Benny) was included on the list "The NME 100: essential emerging artists for 2026," released Nov. 11 (local time) by the U.K. music magazine NME.
NME praised Baby DONT Cry, saying, "They sing catchy K-pop melodies that are nonchalant yet slightly rebellious," and "They are signed to P Nation, founded by Psy, the artist behind 'Gangnam Style,' and are sure to achieve great success."
Debuting last June with the single "F Girl," Baby DONT Cry made a striking impression on K-pop fans worldwide with a bold charm that breaks the stereotypes expected of girls and highly polished performances. They returned with their second digital single "I DONT CARE," solidifying their identity with more mature music.
Baby DONT Cry has cemented their presence by performing on prominent stages at home and abroad. They appeared on the cover of Japanese fashion magazine Nylon Japan just three months after debut, and recently accelerated their global activities with appearances on Japanese terrestrial broadcaster TV Tokyo's "Chochouonpa."
In addition, Baby DONT Cry is drawing intense attention from major foreign media and charting an unstoppable upward trajectory. With solid skills, they are rapidly expanding their global fandom, and their future activities are much anticipated.
