Act 5 | Year 2025: New Contracts

June 2025,

Blinking towards the crowds in front of me, a smile formed on my face. A lot of people commented I have a very intense staring face. But that all changed when I was on stage. I was a different person. Such duality I supposed.

This month marks the sale of our second studio album. With the lead track Fake Love that garners everyone's attentions with the lyrics. Safe to say, they adore it too much.

[461, -031] The line that translates with: "I grew a flower that can't be bloomed in a dream that can't come true" is so beautiful

[763, -931] The mourning, the sadness, the underlying anger, this song speaks to me in a way no other song can.

[002, -701] Fake love isn't just about relationship love, it's also about loving yourself.There are so many times that we pretend to love ourselves and still be doubtful for things that we love doing. This song tells that it's ok to not be a someone because you're worth being loved yourself the right way

[852, -034] I was alone, drunk, on the second floor of a nightclub, worn out by a love that grew unhealthy for almost 10 years. And the DJ played this song. I didn't know the lyrics, but through the music, I felt like I was understood, I felt like it spoke for me. The next day, I went home and googled the song. It was exactly like how it sounds, the lyrics. Babylon Garden can convey emotions through their music, and that is a gift to the world.

The story of how I wrote Fake Love was basically reading more on love and passion. But, the topic of toxic relationship became my turning point. A lot of toxic relationship are happening out there. And the people in it are very hard to get out of.

Outsiders commented that it's easy to get out of it. It's not. The first to get out was always the hardest. That became the basis of the song. It's the love that we're craving yet we're searching with outsiders rather than within ourselves.

I'm starting to think that calling me '4th Gen's Genius' was still an exaggeration. But the fans insisted I was one after I wrote Love Scenario. If the adults are Fake Love, Love Scenario will for the kids.

[795, -963] My 7 year old kid is obsessed with this song!

[861, -032] I'm a teacher, and the whole school knows about this song! They're in kindergarten!

[643, -961] Everywhere I go, the radio always plays this song and my two kids will sing their hearts out. (T^T)

I smiled wryly at the comment. Truth was, I wrote that song based on impulse. I had nothing to do that day and just wrote nonsense until I came up with that. I want to talk about a breakup that felt warm and the feeling of sorry.

That was the biggest irony that we faced right now. We received yet another reward but it wasn't for Fake Love but for Love Scenario. We're currently at Show Champion, hosted by our member Jaewoo and his partner Nana from Woo!Ah!

Kids really love Love Scenario huh? I remembered receiving a call from Diane that even the boys sang Love Scenario at her to tease about me. Other news for the fans was that Babylon Garden had just signed a new contract with PLEDIS Entertainment to extend to another four years.

Looking back, it's been four years since we debuted. We can be called as sunbaenim now. This year marks the start of the 5th Gen's Idol Groups. Groups such as ZEROBASE1, xikers, Baby Monster are currently leading the generation before our new girl group debut next year.

The company had been promoting the group slowly, time by time this year. They want to build the hype. Soon, they will start showing their introduction film around October/November since they will debut January 2026.
