Baby Monster's "Forever" is criticized as being as outdated as a song from 10 years ago.

At exactly 0:00 on July 1 (Korean time), YG Entertainment's girl group Baby Monster released the single "Forever" on digital music platforms and the official MV on YouTube.

This is the opening track for Baby Monster's first full-length album, expected to be released in September or October this year.

With a 1980s synth pop vibe, “Forever” is an upbeat dance track with lyrics that reflect the girls’ radiant confidence. It also features rap verses that are a nod to YG’s hip-hop roots.

The MV “Forever” was directed by director Sam Son, who created many famous Kpop MVs such as “Drama” - aespa, “I am” - IVE, “Invu” - Taeyeon, the series of MVs “Tomboy”, “Nxde”, “Queencard”, “Super lady” - (G)I-DLE…

Therefore, Baby Monster has brought a different image since its debut. Instead of the individual style like the MV "Batter Up" or "Sheesh", in the MV "Forever" the members pursue a feminine, sweet image.

However, Korean audiences have mixed reactions to this MV.

Many opinions say that the 7 members (Rami, Ruka, Asa, Ahyeon, Pharita, Rora, Chiquita) have shown good skills and outstanding beauty. However, the song "Forever" is criticized as "old", "outdated", "like a song from 10 years ago".

On theqoo, viewers commented:

“The song is so old. The members are good but it's really a waste of talent."

“Seriously, it sounds like a song from over 10 years ago”

“It's incredibly outdated.”

“Like the song from T-ara, I can hear Jiyeon, Soyeon, and Eunjung's parts.”

“Why does the sound feel so bad. Is there a problem with the production capacity?”

“Except for the members’ vocals, there’s nothing special about the lyrics and MV style. It’s like a second-generation song.”

“Is this a YG girl group song? Once again I realized that YG only has Teddy.”

“The members' skills are really good.”

“Asa's rap combined with Chiquita's dance is insane."

“The chorus is terrible. Asa's rap is the best."

“In Kpop, there is a tendency to watch music videos and listen to music at the same time, but since Baby Monster members are skilled, I feel like I want to watch their stage performances more. I feel like the music videos don’t show off their charms.”

“The song isn’t bad, but it’s old. The lyrics are especially sincere. It’s a shame because I know the members are all good. I think they would have risen if they had chosen good songs.”

“Baby Monster's problem isn't the members, it's their style and their songs."
