BABYMONSTER has officially returned to the K-pop scene with their second mini album, WE GO UP, released on October 10, 2025.
While fans anticipated a record-breaking comeback, the group’s promotions have been relatively modest — though one member, Ahyeon, is currently setting the internet ablaze with her visuals.
During BABYMONSTER’s recent M!Countdown stage, a short clip of Ahyeon performing went viral, earning her the nickname “K-pop’s living doll.”
With platinum-blonde hair, porcelain skin, and delicate features, the 2007-born idol captivated viewers with a single 3-second moment — a smooth, confident hair flip that instantly became the highlight of the performance.
Ahyeon appeared in a nude-beige corset outfit with fur-trimmed gloves, her styling perfectly emphasizing her fair skin and slim silhouette. Under the bright stage lights, her silver-blonde hair shimmered like an anime character come to life — soft, elegant, yet fierce.
Social media was flooded with praise for Ahyeon’s performance:
- Her visuals are unreal — like a Barbie brought to life!
- The confidence, the expression, the movement — she owns the stage effortlessly.
- Even if the song isn’t viral yet, Ahyeon definitely is.
Her natural charisma and strong presence reminded many fans of Jennie’s early BLACKPINK era, with Ahyeon showing similar balance between cuteness and stage dominance.
Netizens on TheQoo and Weibo commented that Ahyeon’s visuals are “constantly evolving,” praising her for maintaining a fresh yet confident energy on stage.
Although WE GO UP has yet to become a breakthrough moment for BABYMONSTER as a group, Ahyeon’s stage clips are helping to drive buzz online. The music video surpassed 100 million views in just 13 days, and the album topped the iTunes Worldwide Album Chart shortly after release.
Currently, BABYMONSTER is promoting as a six-member lineup, with Rami still on hiatus due to health reasons. Despite this, Ahyeon continues to draw strong reactions with every live performance, proving her rising influence as one of the 4th-gen visual icons of K-pop.
