BABYMONSTER is heating up the summer with a retro-inspired comeback that blends 1980s hip-hop vibes with Gen Z energy.

🔥 'HOT SAUCE' Out July 1 at 6 PM KST

On June 23, YG Entertainment unveiled the teaser poster for BABYMONSTER's upcoming single HOT SAUCE, captioned "I'm like HOT SAUCE". With vibrant neon signage and playful expressions, the teaser radiates summer fun and hip-hop swagger.

🎶 A Nostalgic but Addictive Summer Jam

Executive producer Yang Hyun-suk described HOT SAUCE as "a gift for fans to enjoy the summer," adding that it's a "highly addictive track inspired by late-1980s old-school hip-hop."

Expect bold beats, playful energy, and a Y2K-meets-throwback aesthetic to match.

👯‍♀️ Promotions as a 6-Member Unit

Member Rami will be sitting out of this comeback due to health concerns. "Rami needs sufficient time for recovery," the agency explained. "We ask for your understanding, as the health of our artists is our top priority." The group will promote with six members for this cycle.
