Baby Don’t Cry was previously embroiled in controversy over the sexuality of its music video teaser and group symbol.The packaging of the candy was reminiscent of a condom, and the word “cherry” and the word “F” were seen as sexual metaphors.

They drew the line, saying, “The title song ‘ F Girl ‘contains the message of’ please look at me as I am and understand me, ‘breaking free from standards set by others, such as grades(such as A -F).The first scene of the’ F Girl ‘music video Teaser 1 is a scene that expresses’ chewing gum ‘and’ biting candy ‘in the process of creating a rebellious yet cheerful setting.The overall flow and content of the music video to be released do not contain any provocative or suggestive directing in any part.”

In doing so, they stated, “Regardless of the reason, in order to prevent any misunderstandings and controversy in advance, we decided to delete the controversial scene from the main music video.” They added, “This decision was made to protect the members of Baby DONT Cry above all else and to respect the valuable opinions of our fans.”

Regarding the’ cherry ‘used as the group’s symbol, they drew the line, saying, “The members ‘images matched the image of cherries, which are small but have strong colors, so we decided to use cherries as the group’s symbol.” They continued, “Cherry is used as a positive image in various global brands and content, and during our planning process, the negative meaning or association of cherries was never considered or intended.”

Baby Don’t Cry is the first girl group to be introduced by P Nation, led by Psy.It consists of four members: Lee Hyun, Kumi, Mia, and Beni.Under the production of Idle’s Jeon So-yeon, the group has a fresh concept of being a cheeky ‘girl group’ that breaks the mold of the innocent girl image.
