BABYMONSTER is facing backlash as YG Entertainment sparks controversy with their latest comeback update.
The group announced a digital single titled “HOT SAUCE” dropping July 1, with a teaser image released. Fans immediately noticed Rami missing from the promo, linked to her ongoing hiatus. She was said to be out for health reasons and skipping tour dates until the end of June.
YG is slammed for not clearly communicating Rami’s status. Fans expressed disappointment over the lack of official statements addressing her absence from “HOT SAUCE.”
Twitter user @Baemonacess:
“On a serious note YG didn’t even cared to post a statement about Rami’s hiatus from the group cb. The last update we got about her was more than a month ago that too of her being absent from the world tour. Just dropping the poster like she doesn’t even matter? I’m so disappointed.”
Twitter user @_CQTth:
“YG, please tell us the truth about Rami. We’ve been waiting for answers. Will she return to BABYMONSTER? We deserve clarity — no more false hope. RAMI IN OUR HEARTS #RAMIinBAEMON #WAITINGforRAMI”
Twitter user @baemeovv:
“Wtf no YG makes those long videos of him talking to the camera about pointless shit but he couldn’t mention Rami isn’t part of Hot Sauce?!”
On top of Rami’s situation, YG is being criticized for their overall artist management. Fans question why there’s still silence around BLACKPINK’s upcoming comeback and tour happening soon.
Twitter user @jnktoowell:
“so sick of YG pushing all their groups down our throats right before they drop one lousy blackpink single”
Twitter user @pinkIovesick:
“I’m so confused, tour in 13 days, music video shot, concept pics shot, album jacket shooting done… what the hell is YG waiting for?”
Twitter user @bpsuperior:
“Tour in 13 days we need that comeback like yesterday what’s not clicking @BLACKPINK @ygent_official”
The situation is heating up as fans demand transparency from YG on Rami’s future and BLACKPINK’s comeback plans. The agency has yet to respond to mounting questions.
