Korean netizens responded to BABYMONSTER’s “Stuck In The Middle.”

On January 31, YG Entertainment dropped BABYMONSTER’s above mentioned single. Netizens were surprised by the ballad genre and the English lyrics of BABYMONSTER’s “Stuck In The Middle.”

“Stuck In The Middle” ignited a fervent debate among Korean netizens. While some criticized its slow pace and absence of Korean, many expressed love for the song.

  • The song is so good. I think it is because all of the members have good voices. I finally have something to listen to.
  • This song is way better than “Batter Up.” The narration is corny, though…
  • It’s like 2000s R&B meets Disney, in a good way. Their voices are so good, but I think it gets overshadowed by their beauty and concept.
  • The song is good, although I like songs like “Batter Up/”
  • If the song is good, I could overlook the music video’s design, but the song is just alright.
  • But the song is good though?
  • I think this caters much more to international audiences. But the song is so commercial that I’m not sure what the group’s color is.
  • Is this their English single? There is no Korean, right?
  • I rather liked their pre-debut song… I listened to that often. Having Ahyeon definitely makes a big difference.

In contrast to the predominantly negative reception of BABYMONSTER’s debut track “Batter Up,” the response to “Stuck In The Middle” suggests that BABYMONSTER is gradually gaining favor among K-Pop fans.
