Babymonster, the rookie girl group from YG Entertainment, is set to release the music video for “Clik Clak” this Wednesday, ahead of their first full-length album, “Drip,” scheduled for release on November 1, the label announced Monday.
“Clik Clak” is one of the two lead singles from the upcoming album, alongside the titular track “Drip.” A preview of the hip-hop single’s first verse has already amassed close to 6 million views on YouTube in just two weeks, heightening the excitement of fans worldwide.
The nine-track album is expected to showcase Babymonster’s distinct style and versatility. Fans will get an early taste of all the songs from “Drip,” excluding the title track, prior to the album’s release. Anticipation is especially high for the title track, “Drip,” as it features a collaboration with G-Dragon from Big Bang—an artist widely regarded as a pioneer in the K-pop industry.
Despite being only six months into their debut, Babymonster has already made significant strides in the competitive K-pop landscape. Their music video for “Sheesh,” which marked their official debut, recently crossed 300 million views on YouTube, breaking the record for the most-viewed debut song by a K-pop girl group. This milestone is a testament to the group’s rapid rise and growing fanbase.
The group’s debut achievements reflect the growing global appetite for their music and a burgeoning fan following eager for new releases. Babymonster’s blend of hip-hop influences, charismatic performances, and memorable hooks has helped them stand out among rookie K-pop acts. The collaboration with G-Dragon is expected to add an additional layer of depth and star power to the upcoming album, potentially marking “Drip” as a breakthrough moment for the group.
YG Entertainment has been known for its focus on hip-hop and urban music, and Babymonster’s releases have so far aligned with this established aesthetic. “Clik Clak” is another addition to the group’s evolving discography that emphasizes powerful beats and an edgy, confident vibe—elements that resonate well with YG’s signature style. This synergy has played a significant role in shaping the group’s identity in the early stages of their career.
With the release of “Drip,” Babymonster aims to carve out a more defined space in the competitive world of K-pop. The involvement of G-Dragon, who has long been one of the most influential figures in the industry, is expected to bolster the group’s musical depth and widen their reach. The buzz surrounding this collaboration is seen as an indicator of the group’s potential to achieve mainstream success, not only in South Korea but also globally.
As Babymonster continues to garner attention, they face the challenge of meeting the high expectations that have been set by their debut. Fans and industry insiders alike will be watching closely as “Drip” is unveiled, eager to see how the group’s sound evolves and how they handle the increasing spotlight. Given their success thus far, it is clear that Babymonster is already on track to become one of the defining acts of this generation in K-pop.
