YG Entertainment has recently filed for a new trademark.
On May 24, the company submitted an application for the word “MONstiez.” Once registered, this word cannot be used by any other organization in its category.
YG registered “MONstiez” 6 days ago, is this babymonster’s fandom name? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/w3tjn5RPbO

At first glance, it is obvious that it sounds similar to the name of their new girl group BABYMONSTERS.
Fans were quick to react to the news, saying it could possibly be their new fanclub name.
YG just registered the trademark “MONstiez”!!

Their reactions, however, were mixed. Some liked it compared to other possible names while others believed it was not pleasant on the ears.
Pretty good. Atleast it’s not babysitters 😭

Instead of it referring to their fanclub, other fans suggested that “MONstiez” could be the name of an upcoming merch line representing BABYMONSTER. It would be similar to TREASURE‘s LINE FRIENDS characters, TRUZ.
I’ve been doing some research, I think “MONstiez” isn’t our fandom name because YG never applied trademark for their artist’s fandom. I also noticed it has similar classified code with TRUZ (trsr x line character)
So my first assumption is yg will release BM character merch soon pic.twitter.com/EtnPE4pEfg

my assumption is that “monstiez” is like a plushie line of baemon. the plushies being called monster companions makes sense if you think about it pic.twitter.com/1rkeqtQO5B
