Despite her highly praised talent, Ahyeon (BABYMONSTER) still sparks controversy
As the hottest member of BABYMONSTER, Ahyeon possesses all the qualities needed to stand out among the new rookies. Since her first appearance as a trainee, Ahyeon has left an impression with her “all-rounder” skill set, excelling in singing, dancing, and rapping, and her visuals have been compared to “Jennie’s little sister.” Despite some setbacks during her debut due to health reasons, necessitating a “re-debut” with the group, Ahyeon has been highly sought after as BABYMONSTER’s “ace.”

After more than two months in the lineup and promoting their debut mini-album, Ahyeon quickly rose to the top among new rookies. Recently, BABYMONSTER has been conducting a fan meeting tour across Asia. During this debut tour, YG’s girl group continues to attract new fans thanks to their talent and charisma.
Amid the controversy over the skills of new-generation K-pop idols, BABYMONSTER shines as a bright gem, with all seven members meticulously trained by YG before their debut. Although their music strategy and image have yet to captivate the public, BABYMONSTER has excelled in reversing the trend and elevating their status through impressive skill displays.
The talent of BABYMONSTER in general and Ahyeon in particular is undeniable, though it sometimes sparks debates among fans. Recently, Ahyeon has become a hot topic in the K-pop fan community due to several fancams recorded at fan meetings. Most notably, a video of Ahyeon growling and hitting high notes during the performance of “Sheesh” has garnered attention. In the released version, Ahyeon was favored with the most impressive high-note segment of “Sheesh.”
Utilizing this advantage, she recreated the high notes to prove her skills during live performances, with slight variations to energize the atmosphere. However, not everyone found this appealing. Many comments suggested that Ahyeon lacked control over her vocal power, making the high notes sound shrill. Some even expressed concern for the young idol, worrying that relying on natural high notes without proper adjustment could damage her voice over time.

Many comments suggested that Ahyeon lacked control over her vocal power, making the high notes sound shrill.
Additionally, her growling technique to hype up the audience was seen as rough and unrefined. This characteristic of hers was compared to senior BLACKPINK member Jennie, particularly during her iconic Coachella performances.
Jennie doesn’t need to be loud or growl, but her way of infusing soul into her raps, singing, and rallying the audience is naturally captivating. Many comments suggested that Ahyeon should learn from her senior in this aspect.
