The seven members secured their final debut spots through the grueling eight-part reality show "Last Evaluation."

With an impressive 3.11 million subscribers on their official YouTube channel and a staggering 51.87 million views on their pre-debut song "DREAM" as of September 26th, they were poised for greatness.

The initial plans for BABYMONSTER appeared promising. YG Entertainment had actively engaged renowned overseas producers for album production, securing multiple tracks, including their debut song.

Full-scale preparations, including choreography and music video production, were underway, with a debut originally scheduled for September.

However, as the month draws to a close, there has been no official announcement or news regarding the release of BABYMONSTER's first album.

What's more, the absence of Ahyeon, a chosen debut member, from the group's official social media accounts and scheduled activities has raised speculation about potential delays in the group's debut.

This isn't the first time YG Entertainment has faced challenges in executing its plans. A similar situation unfolded with TREASURE, YG's most recent group launched through "YG Treasure Box."

Originally intended to be divided into two units, Treasure and Magnum, the group eventually debuted as a 12-member ensemble due to various complications, nearly two years after the program's conclusion.

Furthermore, in 2013, during the reality show "WIN: Who is Next," YG Entertainment announced that only one team, either Team A or Team B, would debut.

However, the losing team formed a new group called iKON through "Mix & Match," eventually adding new members.

iKON's debut album also faced unexpected delays, with the release schedule being altered.

Initially slated for a November 2015 release, the full album was pushed back to December 24th of the same year for quality-related reasons and other factors.

As K-pop fans eagerly await updates on BABYMONSTER's debut, the ever-changing landscape of YG Entertainment's plans continues to keep them guessing.

The group's future remains uncertain, leaving fans to wonder when they will finally see the light of day in the K-pop scene.
