Career
Even before their official debut, Baby DONT Cry garnered significant attention. Their practice video, released in April 2025, quickly surpassed 11 million views, indicating strong global interest.
On June 16, 2025, they released the pre-release single “Bet You’ll Regret It.” The track, produced by Jeon Soyeon, features a catchy guitar riff and showcases the group’s energetic and confident style.
Their official debut was on June 23, 2025, with the release of their debut single, “F Girl.”
Controversies/Incidents
Ahead of their debut, the group faced some controversy. A teaser video for their debut single “F Girl” was deleted after receiving criticism from online users for its perceived suggestive nature. One scene involved a candy wrapper that some viewers claimed resembled a condom wrapper. P NATION issued an apology, stating they wanted to avoid any misunderstandings and that the “F” in the song title referred to a grade scale, conveying a message of self-acceptance. Another teaser, which showed a member spilling a red drink on a yellow carpet, also drew some criticism for its imagery, though the agency did not officially address this.
