BABYMONSTER New YG Group
This post caught the attention of netizens. Unfortunately, they weren't too warmly welcomed because Chiquita came from Thailand and her image was considered too similar to Lisa's.
YG Entertainment invites the public to get to know BABYMONSTER more closely, and recently introduced Chiquita in more depth. However, the presence of the idol apparently did not receive much warm welcome from Korean netizens.
A post on the Pann online community talks about Chiquita as a candidate for YG's new female idol. Netizens who publish posts highlight the fact that the 2009-born singer is from Thailand.
YG revealed BABYMONSTER Chiquita's face. She is from Thailand, she was born in 2009 and she is BABYMONSTER's maknae. The photo with brown hair was taken during the shooting of the latest video. Her skills are good. She was added to the debut project only 3 months after her training day because she was so amazing," wrote the netizen who published the post.
This post is a concern and invites comments from netizens. Unfortunately, they weren't too warmly welcomed because Chiquita is from Thailand and her image is considered too similar to Lisa BLACKPINK.
"This is really bad. Why do they keep putting Southeast Asians in groups?" netizen comments. "I think he will be good at matching rhythms and turns," said another netizen. "Two Thais, one Japanese, too many foreigners (non-Koreans)," said another.
"I was surprised by his name, I was surprised by his age, I was surprised because he had only been a trainee for 3 months and most importantly, I was surprised because he looked very normal," added netizens.
"Apart from her face, her proportions and personality are too similar to Lisa's. I'm not sure how talented she is because her training time is very short," commented another.
Meanwhile, Chiquita was also recognized for her dancing skills by YG. Fans are speculating that he might take on the role of the main dancer. Yang Hyun Suk - the group's executive producer - also said unequivocally, "It's obvious that Chiquita is a special child. I really hope that in the future, she will become popular like Lalisa and have a global scale influence." (wk/goddess)
