About Baby DONT Cry Debut: ‘F Girl’ and Concept

Baby DONT Cry’s debut song “F Girl” makes a bold statement against societal pressures and stereotypes tied to grades, appearances, and labels. The “F” in the title doesn’t stand for failure but rather challenges the idea of what people expect from young girls. 

Teaser Controversy and P NATION’s Response

Leading up to the debut, Baby DONT Cry faced backlash over a teaser that featured one member in a suggestive scene that many felt was inappropriate, given the young ages of the members. Netizens expressed concern about the sexualization of minors. 

In response, P NATION issued a public apology, removed the scene from all platforms, and clarified that the intention was playful and artistic, not inappropriate.

Meanwhile, Baby DONT Cry has begun promoting their debut single “F Girl” on different platforms.
