On March 11 (KST), YG Entertainment posted the teaser for BABYMONSTER’s next comeback. With the title “BABYMONS7ER,” it wasn’t surprising that fans were waiting to see Ahyeon, but the thumbnail only showed six members.
Even as the video started, only the members who had “properly” debuted were shown.

In the final seconds, netizens couldn’t hide their apprehension as a final shot of the six members was shown without Ahyeon. Yet, YG Entertainment knew what they were doing as the group turned around. Suddenly, Ahyeon was given her own dramatic scene to welcome her into the group.

When the video was posted, netizens couldn’t stop gushing over the way Ahyeon was introduced. By making the thumbnail just the six members and not having her appear until the end, it made sure netizens watched the whole video because so many wanted to see Ahyeon after everything that happened.
making this the thumbnail is so smart because everyone will be looking for ahyeon enough to click on it and putting ahyeon at the end of the video so people can watch until the end pic.twitter.com/Zn6m832qha
