"We want to be the pride of P NATION!" With fiery ambition and fearless energy, Baby Don't Cry officially debuted on June 23 with their first single F Girl—marking a powerful start under the wings of PSY and (G)I-DLE's Soyeon.
🎤 Debut Showcase: Bold, Loud, and Unapologetically Themselves
The group held their debut showcase at Blue Square SOL Travel Hall in Yongsan, Seoul, introducing their title track F Girl. Even before debut, Baby Don't Cry had already turned heads as P NATION's first girl group and as a project produced by Soyeon.
🎶 Backed by PSY and Soyeon—But Making Their Own Noise
The girls embraced the weight of expectations with passion. "It's an honor to be known as PSY and Soyeon's girl group," said Lee Hyun, adding, "We just want to make sure all our hard work pays off."
- PSY stressed the power of onstage energy: "If your energy's high, the audience will feel it," he told the members.
- Soyeon provided detailed direction in the studio, helping them shape their debut tracks with precision and personality.
👑 Who Are Baby Don't Cry?
- 4 members: Lee Hyun, Benny, Kumi, Mia
- All teens: 2 Korean (Lee Hyun, Benny), 2 Japanese (Kumi, Mia)
- Kumi named BLACKPINK's Lisa as her role model, while Mia cited f(x)'s Krystal for her charisma.
The group aims to break stereotypes around the word "baby," redefining it as a symbol of innocence and strength—the core of their new signature genre: "Baby Rock."
🎸 New Genre Alert: 'Baby Rock' Is Here
Their debut single F Girl and pre-release track If You Miss This Moment, You'll Regret It are both rooted in a guitar-driven, band sound that screams confidence and freshness.
Highlights include:
- Kumi's whispered intro ("Kumidayo~")
- An addictive "ABCDE" hook
- Signature dance moves: tapping the pinky to the ear (playfully saying "I don't wanna hear that!") and a fun "alphabet game" hand choreo
🎭 Sweet Off-Stage, Fierce On-Stage
Onstage, Baby Don't Cry completely transformed:
- Benny delivered rock-solid vocals with ease, even during intense choreography
- Kumi added depth with her low, powerful voice
- Mia stole the show with her expressive facial acting
- Lee Hyun, with her crystal-clear voice and elegant visuals, anchored the team as an all-rounder
🔥 Their Goal? "Rookie of the Year"
"Getting the Rookie of the Year award is our dream," said Lee Hyun. "We want to be a group that brings healing and joy to everyone," added Benny with a smile.
F Girl is now available on all major music platforms.
