Due to cut-throat competition in the K-pop industry, becoming a top group is not easy. As a result, aspiring singers aim to be trained at one of the "Big 4" music labels -- Hybe Corporation, JYP Entertainment, SM Entertainment and YG Entertainment -- because trainees at these labels are noticed by K-pop fans. The brainchild of YG Entertainment, Babymonster, a seven-member girl group, became popular after appearing in the 2023 reality show Last Evaluation , which showed that trainees must have exceptional singing and dancing talent as well as determination.
Moreover, each member of Babymonster also has their own charm to attract fans. Unlike other K-pop groups, Babymonster consists of three nationalities -- Korean (Ahyeon, Rami and Rora), Japanese (Ruka and Asa) and Thai (Pharita and Chiquita). It's possible that YG Entertainment used international members to appeal to a more global fan base.
After releasing the seven-track debut album BabyMons7er in April, the girls announced a fan meet tour titled "Babymonster Presents: See You There" in May. It started off in Tokyo and was followed by stops in Jakarta, Singapore, Taipei and Bangkok. Since Tokyo and Bangkok are the hometowns of some members, tickets in these two cities sold out quickly.
Thus, Babymonster decided to hold two days of fan meetings in both cities. Organised by Live Nation Tero, "Babymonster Presents: See You There In Bangkok" took place at Paragon Hall, Siam Paragon. A Life reporter attended the event on June 29.
