YG Entertainment has officially confirmed that BABYMONSTER will make their much-anticipated comeback with their 2nd mini album, WE GO UP, set for release on October 10th.
The news initially sparked joy and excitement among fans worldwide, as this marks the group’s next step following their successful debut year and recent world tour.
However, the excitement quickly turned into controversy after YG revealed that Rami will not be participating in this album.
Rami has been on a health hiatus for several months and has not joined any group activities during this time. While many fans expressed understanding, others voiced frustration with how YG handled the announcement.
Some fans criticized the company for only revealing Rami’s absence at the same time as the comeback news, arguing that YG should have been more transparent earlier.
They stressed that while they understand Rami’s need for rest and recovery, the lack of consistent updates about her condition left them disappointed. As a result, a portion of fans announced plans to boycott the new album, demanding YG listen to their concerns.
On the other hand, many fans strongly opposed the idea of a boycott, calling it harmful to both BABYMONSTER and Rami herself.
They argued that boycotting would only sabotage the group’s hard work and damage their progress, especially after gaining international recognition on tour.
Others emphasized that supporting the comeback would not sabotage Rami’s return, reminding fans that she will rejoin the group once she fully recovers. Some even expressed frustration with the boycott calls.
While the fandom remains divided, one thing is clear: BABYMONSTER continues to rise as one of K-pop’s fastest-growing rookie groups. With WE GO UP set to drop on October 10th, all eyes are now on how the comeback will perform amid the ongoing debate.
