Netizens are discussing why BABYMONSTER allegedly have it hard when it comes to MEOVV's pending debut.

On August 22, the topic of BABYMONSTER and their rivals went viral on online communities under the title, "BABYMONSTER are in big trouble." The poster wrote, "The current 4th generation groups are too active for them to get some of the domestic fandom pie, so in the end, they'll have to look to international fans. It seems like popularity effect from BLACKPINK's shout-outs to BABYMONSTER could all shift to MEOVV," referring to The Black Label's upcoming girl group.

The poster continued, "The image fits so well. BABYMONSTER didn't quite match up even though they were marketed as BLACKPINK's sister group. But [MEOVV] really gives the gibe of BLACKPINK's sister group. It also seems like they'll secure luxury ambassador roles very successfully - the vibe in incredible," sharing photos of the BLACKPINK members and alleged MEOVV members together.

Netizens commented, "I think BLACKPINK's real sister group is MEOVV," "BABYMONSTER dragged too much time from the beginning," "It feels like MEOVV is really BLACKPINK's junior group," and more.

What are your thoughts on the comparisons?
