The lively charm of BABYMONSTER and the behind-the-scenes footage of 'BAEMON NEWS7,' which received a good response from the new song spoiler, was released on November 20. Following the announcement of the fan club name, RORA transformed back into a newscaster and approached the filming with overflowing confidence. After comments, she guided responses and showed a veteran-like presence, responding flexibly when it seemed like a broadcast accident might occur. However, she ended up laughing at Chikita and Asa's successive ad-libs and NGs, showing a heartwarming side. Other members also fit perfectly into their roles. Chikita and Asa played the roles of rappers, showcasing their chemistry in an impromptu rap battle, while Ahyeon became a versatile singer, displaying a three-octave high note. The unique footage included reporter Laura covering BABYMONSTER's comeback, bright interviews with Luca, and YG staff member Farita. Later, the members returned to their original selves and conveyed their feelings to fans. The members said, 'Thanks to MONSTIEZ (the fandom name) waiting for us, we were able to release 'BAEMON NEWS7.' We really enjoyed filming it,' and 'Since this is our first full album, we prepared a lot. We want to make our fans happy.'
