Can Baby Monster repeat the mistake that made Jennie and Suzy miserable?

Baby Monster's return with a 7-member lineup is a turning point that helps the group make great strides in the 4th generation girl group race.

YG confirmed that after Ahyeon rejoined, Baby Monster officially debuted, so live promotional activities were carried out.

YG's announcement once caused a stir in the fan community. Because, when Ahyeon was temporarily absent for health reasons, the 6 members released their debut song "Batter Up", but did not focus on the strategy of activities.

At that time, there were opinions that YG only recognized Baby Monster's official debut when Ahyeon was included, which was an act of denying the efforts of the 6 members.

However, Ahyeon has shown her charisma and star quality at a young age.

In her first time on stage, she brought home a fancam ( video of her personal performance) with over 1 million views, the highest among 4th generation groups.

In addition, YG is also said to be biased towards Ahyeon when arranging for her to rap and the important high notes in "Sheesh". Meanwhile, the group has 2 main rappers, Ruka and Asa, Chiquita can rap; while Rami, Pharita and Rora all have good voices, the climax belongs to Ahyeon.

Receiving many compliments from the audience, Ahyeon's performance became more and more confident and her expressions were flexible. In some live performances, she raised her voice tone and changed the tempo of the rap part.

On X and forums, audiences have argued about Ahyeon singing in a tone that is too high, beyond her normal vocal range, creating a warp when rapping with Ruka. Many people suggested that the female idol should control her voice, so that it is not too harsh, and also a way to respect and not overwhelm the person rapping with her.

However, it is undeniable that Ahyeon is the most outstanding factor of Baby Monster, shown through the fancam views that are always outstanding and the high number of discussions.

According to Allkpop, Ahyeon's case not only reflects YG's motives but also raises issues of fairness in the Kpop industry.

In fact, the story of discrimination and differences in treatment has been debated for many years. Many music groups have been involved in scandals of favoritism because one member was given excessive favor.

During the first years of their debut, Blackpink was also "dissected" many times because Jennie was often given outstanding outfits, many separate schedules, and always sang the opening song.

She was once called YG's princess because she received many good treatments before debuting with Blackpink. She was covered by the media when she was just a trainee, was the first member of Blackpink to have a solo song, and collaborated with many other artists...

YG's obvious favoritism must have made fans of Lisa, Jisoo, and Rosé feel sad or disappointed many times.

A similar story happened to Suzy. In 2015, Miss A caused a stir when evidence was discovered that the other 3 members were cold and distant towards Suzy.

In Miss A's song "Goodbye baby", there is also a line: "My name is not Suzy. Don't call me that anymore" which caused a stir at the time. At her peak, "the nation's first love" took on more than 50% of the lyrics in "Only you" even though she was not the main vocalist or rapper.

Due to JYP's uneven resource allocation strategy, Miss A became the "Suzy and Friends" group in the public eye.

Not only Jennie and Suzy, many other idols such as HyunA (4 minutes), Wonyoung (IVE), and Chaeyeon (DIA) have also been criticized for being favored over other group members.
