Girl group Baby Monster is drawing attention by paying homage to Seo Taiji and Boys ‘hit song’ I Know ‘music video.

According to their agency YG Entertainment on the 2nd, Baby Monster recreated the music video set for Seo Taiji and Boys’ debut song “I Know” from their first album in 1992 in the music video for “HOT SAUCE, “ the pre-released track from their new mini-album released the day before.

The set features a logo titled ‘HOT SAUCE’ that uses the font used on the cover of Seo Taiji and Boys ‘first album, which catches the eye.

The lyrics, which are scattered along with the logo, were reinterpreted in a way that further maximizes Baby Monster’s cheerful energy.

This is slowly starting to spread by word of mouth even among middle-aged and older music fans, and Baby Monster, which is mostly comprised of teenagers, is getting a refreshing response for perfectly blending in with the 1980s retro hip-hop vibe.

The fact that Baby Monster was able to pay homage to part of the ‘I Know’ music video was possible because executive producer Yang Hyun-suk was active as a member of Seo Taiji and Boys.
