YG Entertainment, the company behind BLACKPINK, is cooking up another girl group. This time? It’s a tight squad of four! Yep, just four members—but don’t let the number fool you. These girls are expected to bring the heat, with practice videos dropping from May 28, 2025, giving fans an appetizer before the main course— their official debut (which might not hit until 2026).

This sneak peek came straight from the source—producer Yang Hyun-seok—who made a surprise comeback on YG’s official blog on May 26. In the interview, Yang spilled the beans about comeback plans for BLACKPINK, updates on BABYMONSTER, and the launch of this brand-new rookie team. He confirmed the four-member lineup and shared that YG will be releasing behind-the-scenes content first, like they did for BABYMONSTER last year.
The strategy here isn’t just about hyping the group—it’s a calculated move to build a solid fanbase before these girls even hit the stage. It worked for BABYMONSTER, who had global fans wrapped around their finger before their debut, all thanks to their pre-debut content. And now, YG’s going for a two-track girl group strategy: BABYMONSTER leads, and this new team follows. Coincidentally, this marks YG’s third 4-member girl group—BLACKPINK and 2NE1 paved the way for that.
While the full debut might be held off until next year, fans are already buzzing. With world tours and music drops lined up for BLACKPINK, BABYMONSTER’s upcoming single “HOT SAUCE” and mini-album, YG clearly isn’t slowing down. So buckle up, because these four new girls are coming and they might just slay the stage (and our playlists).
