During BABYMONSTER’s performance of “SHEESH” on Inkigayo, fans grew concerned as Chiquita, the youngest member of the group, exhibited signs of fatigue. Netizens noted that towards the end of the song, Chiquita struggled to maintain composure, closing her eyes as if battling exhaustion on stage.
Worries were heightened by previous rumors of Chiquita’s health issues, with some fearing she might faint during the performance. Despite challenges, Chiquita showcased professionalism by pushing through the routine.
BABYMONSTER’s packed schedule in April included multiple music show appearances, fan events, and international commitments, raising concerns about the group’s well-being. In addition to ongoing promotions, BABYMONSTER is slated to release a full album this fall, requiring intensive preparation.
According to YG’s announcement, BABYMONSTER’s upcoming international fan meetings in countries like Japan, Thailand, Taiwan (China), Singapore, and Jakarta (Indonesia) throughout May and June add further pressure on the group’s schedule.
Fans emphasize the importance of balancing promotional activities with adequate rest and health management, especially given Chiquita’s young age of 15 years old. The rigorous demands of the entertainment industry underscore the need for agencies to prioritize artists’ well-being amid busy schedules.
As BABYMONSTER continues to garner attention with their energetic performances and upcoming album, supporters hope for strategic planning to safeguard the health and longevity of the group.
The collective concern highlights the importance of sustainable practices in the K-pop industry to support the artists’ complete health and career longevity.
