The new song “FOREVER” by YG Entertainment’s girl group BABYMONSTER has fans arguing. While everyone likes the cool music video that shows off the amazing skills of the group members, some fans aren’t happy with the words to the song.
Fans Like the Look, Not the Lyrics
Fans love the video’s effects and style, which is what YG Entertainment is known for. But the song itself has caused problems.
Too Much English: Many kpop singers fans think there’s way too much English in the song. They say it takes away from the song’s feeling and what it’s supposed to be about.
Korean Words Fans Don’t Like: Even the few Korean words used aren’t great, according to some fans. Words like “ganadara” (which means something like sassy or mean) sound cheap and don’t connect with listeners.
Boring Words: Fans say the lyrics are boring and forgettable. Lines like “I got no worries on my mind” and “So bright / They say she looking flawless” are nothing special and don’t make good use of what the song could be.
Not Catchy Enough: Another problem is that the song isn’t easy to remember. Even with the English lyrics, “FOREVER” doesn’t leave much of an impression.
Fans Want Better Songs
Fans are disappointed because they feel the lyrics don’t match the talent of the group. Comments on forums show this. Fans are calling the lyrics a waste and saying YG should hire other people to write songs for BABYMONSTER.
Not the First Time
This isn’t the first time fans argued about YG Entertainment’s creative choices. The teaser for “FOREVER” itself, which looked like a magazine cover, caused debate about whether it was YG’s best work.
What’s Next for BABYMONSTER?

It is not clear if YG Entertainment will listen to the fans’ complaints about “FOREVER.” A song can be successful for many reasons, and “FOREVER” might still do well because of the video and the group’s talent. But this whole thing shows how important it is to balance the artist’s ideas with what the fans want. Will YG learn from this and make different choices for BABYMONSTER’s next songs? Only time will tell.
The Debate Continues
The fight over “FOREVER” is part of a bigger discussion about how K-Pop groups should make music. Should they use more English to be more popular globally, or should they keep their Korean identity strong in their songs? In the end, the answer might be finding a way to appeal to fans around the world while also staying true to the group’s roots. How well BABYMONSTER and other K-Pop groups do will depend on how well they handle this challenge.
