    YG Entertainment’s new girl group BABYMONSTER is embarking on a fanmeet tour!

    On March 18, BABYMONSTER uploaded a poster on their official social media accounts announcing the cities for their upcoming fanmeet tour.

    “BABYMONSTER PRESENTS : SEE YOU THERE” will begin in Tokyo and then continue in Jakarta, Singapore, Taipei, and Bangkok.

    As reported, Yang Hyun Suk has unveiled further details regarding the upcoming 1st mini album from YG's rookie girl group, 'BABYMONS7ER.' The album showcases the powerhouse title track, "Sheesh," a dynamic and dark hip-hop anthem that marks a significant evolution from their debut single, "Batter Up."

    The poster offers a glimpse into the world of BABYMONSTER, with all seven members showcasing their silhouettes against the backdrop of what appears to be a gothic castle.

    Two articles about the business side of K-Pop

    K-pop groups Stray Kids and Itzy can bring Coca-Cola deeper into South Korean music fandom and its young global audiences, but maintaining those connection requires immersing the brand in the culture behind the pop.

    Last spring, Coca-Cola named K-pop girl group NewJeans its global ambassadors just months after their debut album was released and gave the five-piece group its own brand-produced single: Zero. That led to a remix with J.I.B. and a collaboration late last year with Jon Batiste, Cat Burns and Camilo, but also provided Coca-Cola more insight into what it was missing.

    With help from its team in South Korea—and several visits by the global marketing team—Coca-Cola brought aboard producer J.Y. Park (JYP). It also brought together three of K-pop’s heavy hitters: four-time Billboard 200 chart-toppers Stray Kids, longtime Billboard 200 fixture Itzy and one of the biggest emerging K-pop acts in the U.S. within the last year, Nmixx.

    stray-kids-itzy-nmixx-kpop-coca-cola.png.jpeg

    “By collaborating with some of the biggest names in K-pop culture, [Coca-Cola] is bringing fans together through innovative experiences that bring to life their special and unique devotion for their favorite artists, and the powerful impact that K-Pop has on culture,” said Jung Hyun Kwon, category lead for Japan and Korea at The Coca-Cola Company.

    https://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/coca-cola-stray-kids-itzy-k-pop/


    In the world of pop music, image is almost as important as sound. In K-pop, it’s intertwined. Producing a highly stylized, fashion-filled music video with choreography engineered to take off on social media is table stakes for Korean artists. New K-pop groups are art directed from the start, given distinctive brand identities that follow them through album concepts, musical compositions, fashion choices, and (naturally) fan merchandising.

    In 2021, Hybe, the K-pop mega company behind BTS, announced its newest label, ADOR (All Doors One Room), with a high-profile CEO: Min Hee-jin, a South Korean art director renowned for working with several of the past decade’s most popular groups. In mid-2022, she pulled the veil off her first project for ADOR, the five-member girl group NewJeans, which became the breakout K-pop group of 2023.

    In a moment defined by AI hype and digital anxiety, NewJeans has stood out by offering fans a distinctly analog vibe and tapping ’90s nostalgia with R&B-adjacent songs and fuzzy, dreamy visuals. The group’s first album, New Jeans, surpassed 444,000 preorders before its release in July 2022. In January 2023, NewJeans dropped a two-song album, OMG, which sold more than 1 million copies in its first three weeks. Its follow-up last August, Get Up, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 list and was called one of the best albums of 2023 by The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and Slate. During 2023, NewJeans sold approximately 4.4 million copies of physical albums.

    But instead of having its artists simply appear in other brands’ campaigns, ADOR is also pulling partners into the NewJeans universe. In July, the group partnered with Apple to film the official music video for its single “ETA” using an iPhone 14 Pro, showcasing the camera’s image-stabilizing technology. That video, which places NewJeans’s signature bunny ears (fans are called “Bunnies”) on the Apple logo, has now been seen 57 million times on YouTube, and Apple’s behind-the-scenes ad has racked up 800,000 views.

    When Coca-Cola tapped NewJeans as a brand partner in April, they collaborated on the single “Zero” and a music video (18 million views) that blurs the line between ad and song. NewJeans ended the year by working with Nike on an Air Max spot that cleverly re-creates a scene from one of the group’s earlier music videos—but this time, the members are dressed head to toe in the sneaker brand.

    On March 26 & 27, Luxury French fashion house Yves Saint Laurent Beauté will open a Pop-up Store to unveil the new 'YSL Loveshine' Lipstick Collection in Place de la République, Paris. YSL Beauty took to their official Instagram account to hint the Brand's Youngest Global ambassador Newjeans’Danielle will be making an apperance at the Launching Event!

    Get ready to see NewJeans' Danielle in a whole lotta Celine, because she just joined forces with the beloved French fashion house as a global ambassador for the brand.

    Celine shared the news on X, formerly known as Twitter, posting a black and white pic of Danielle wearing a very Celine ensemble, consisting of a cropped black logo T-shirt, jeans, and a black jacket, with her long dark hair worn in loose waves. “Celine is pleased to announce that Danielle from NewJeans will represent the house as global ambassador,” the brand wrote. With this new appointment, Danielle joins fellow K-pop stars Lisa from BLACKPINK and V from BTS.

    And some commentary about the state of K-Pop in Korea

    What's behind South Korea's K-pop crisis?

    The biggest names in K-pop have sought out new markets overseas. But they've left a hole in their home market that no other acts have been able to fill yet.

    South Korea's hugely popular K-pop and the broader "hallyu" or "Korean Wave" genre of popular culture are experiencing something of a crisis, with domestic sales declining, new bands failing to whip up the same frenzy as their predecessors, and shares in the top K-pop agencies plummeting, suggesting that investors are jittery that the bubble may be about to burst.

    The domestic slump coincides with those same performers — BlackPink, BTS, and the irascible Psy, who unleashed "Gangnam Style" on an unsuspecting world back in 2012 — growing in popularity on the international music scene.

    In recent months, new band Baby Monster has failed to make a significant dent in the Melon Top 100, the South Korean ranking for music sales, while ITZY and NMIXX saw their latest releases sink dramatically in their second week, The Korean Times reported earlier this month.

    Similarly, sales of the latest mini-album released by girl-group Le Sserafim shrank 20% in the second week of its release.

    Uncertainty over the bankability of performers at home has hurt the four biggest management agencies, with stocks in YG Entertainment down by 15% in mid-March from the turn of the year. HYBE was down 19%, while industry giant SM Entertainment fell 22% and JYP Entertainment lost a worrying 33% of its share value in the same period, according to the ChosunIlbo newspaper.

    [there is also a discussion of the effect of the pandemic and then its ending]
