YG Shares 2026 Plans for BABYMONSTER and TREASURE, With Group Debuts Awaited

YG Entertainment has offered a new update on its plans for the remainder of 2026. On October 14 KST, founder Yang Hyun Suk released a statement that included upcoming comebacks by BABYMONSTER and TREASURE. The statement also addressed the agency’s broader plans, though the details provided here do not specify new debut dates for its upcoming groups.

Earlier this year, Yang announced that YG was preparing to debut a new boy group with five members, alongside a girl group currently using the project name “NEXT MONSTER.” In April, he said the agency planned to launch the boy group in September of this year. The latest information does not clarify whether that timing has changed or provide further details about either group’s debut.

The update places the two planned debuts alongside YG’s stated activities for the rest of 2026, including the BABYMONSTER and TREASURE comebacks. For now, the information available confirms the earlier group plans and the acts named in the new statement, but does not outline additional debut arrangements.
