We at P NATION sincerely appreciate the interest and support for Baby DONT Cry's debut.
We acknowledge the concerns and controversies raised by some fans and the public regarding the teaser video for our debut title track 'F Girl'. We apologize to anyone who felt discomfort or worry due to the video.
The title track 'F Girl' carries a message of being understood for who you are, beyond the standards set by others, such as sexual scores. The first scene of the 'F Girl' music video teaser was meant to create a rebellious and playful atmosphere, showcasing actions like 'chewing gum' and 'sucking on candy'. The overall content of the music video does not include any provocative or suggestive elements. Nevertheless, to prevent misunderstandings and controversy, we have decided to remove the contentious scene from the final music video. This decision is made to protect the members of Baby DONT Cry and to respect the valuable opinions of our fans.
Regarding the 'cherry' symbol used for Baby DONT Cry, we chose it because it aligns with the members' image, being small yet vibrant. Cherries are used positively in various global brands and content, and we want to clarify that we never considered or intended any negative meanings or associations with cherries during our planning process.
Baby DONT Cry is precious and deserving of protection for all involved in its creation. We hope that the hard work and dedication of the members shine brightly and reach our fans. We will do our utmost to ensure that Baby DONT Cry's journey is delivered to fans in a joyful and healthy manner.
