YG Entertainment has unveiled a clearer blueprint for its new boy group, concretizing the roadmap for expanding its global IP portfolio.

On the 30th, YG Entertainment posted 'BABYMONSTER, TREASURE, AND UPCOMING ROOKIES | YG ANNOUNCEMENT' on its official blog. Chief producer Yang Hyun-suk took to an interview to introduce YG's major projects scheduled for the second half of this year.

Yang Hyun-suk stated, "In a previous interview, I mentioned via subtitles that we plan to launch a new male group this fall. As of now, we plan to introduce YG's new male group in September. The number of members, which many are curious about, will be five."

As YG's first new boy group in six years, the 5th-member lineup stands out, differentiated from the multi-member structure of TREASURE. This points toward the birth of a 'complete group' that maximizes individual personalities and skills through a core member lineup.

Yang Hyun-suk added, "We will sequentially unveil new IPs and rookies planned by YG," hinting that YG's powerful rookie lineup will be established alongside the highly anticipated next girl group 'Next Monster (tentative title)' that previously sparked discussion.

Earlier this year, YG had announced it would launch major projects including new album releases and active global activities for BabyMonster and TREASURE, as well as BIGBANG's world tour celebrating their 20th anniversary. Consequently, 2026 is expected to be a crucial turning point marked by not only the active activities of existing artists but also the debut of numerous new groups set to lead YG's future.
