MONSTER CHILD have officially returned to the K-pop scene with their second mini album, WE GO UP, released on October 10, 2025.
While fans expected a record-breaking comeback, the group’s promotions have been relatively low-key, although one member, Ahyeon, is currently setting the Internet ablaze with her images.
During MONSTER CHILDOn the recent M!Countdown stage, a short clip of Ahyeon’s performance went viral, earning her the nickname “K-pop’s living doll.”
With platinum blonde hair, porcelain skin and delicate features, the 2007-born idol captivated viewers with a single 3-second moment: a fluid, confident flick of her hair that instantly became the highlight of the performance.
Ahyeon appeared in a nude beige corset with fur-lined gloves, her style perfectly emphasizing her pale skin and slim silhouette. Under the stage lights, her silver blonde hair shone like an anime character come to life: soft, elegant, yet fierce.
Social media was flooded with praise for Ahyeon’s performance:
- Her images are unreal, like a Barbie brought to life!
- The confidence, the expression, the movement: he owns the stage effortlessly.
- While the song isn’t viral yet, Ahyeon definitely is.
Her natural charisma and strong presence reminded many fans of Jennie’s early BLACKPINK era, with Ahyeon displaying a similar balance of sweetness and dominance on stage.
Netizens on TheQoo and Weibo commented that Ahyeon’s pictures are “continuously evolving” praising her for maintaining a cool yet confident energy on stage.
While WE RISE has yet to become a watershed moment for MONSTER CHILD as a group, Ahyeon’s onstage clips are helping spread buzz online. The music video surpassed 100 million views in just 13 days, and the album topped the iTunes World Albums Chart shortly after release.
Currently, MONSTER CHILD is promoting itself as a six-member lineup, with Rami still on hiatus for health reasons. Despite this, Ahyeon continues to elicit strong reactions with every live performance, demonstrating her growing influence as one of K-pop’s fourth-generation visual icons.
