The third batch of stills from BABYMONSTER’s ‘DESERVE’ music video, released on Oct. 21, reportedly includes scenes featuring Pharita, Chiquita and Ahyeon. The post dates and image numbers show the scope of this release and how it differs from the earlier stills.
Three batches are distinguished by post date and image number
The YG LIFE archive records images #01–#04 as posted on Oct. 19, #05–#07 on Oct. 20, and #08–#11 on Oct. 21. That makes #08–#11 the third batch. The release date and consecutive image-number range distinguish it from the first two batches.
Scenes featuring Pharita, Chiquita and Ahyeon—and what is confirmed
YG LIFE tagged Pharita in #08, Chiquita in #09, and Ahyeon in #10 and #11. In the reported scenes, Pharita faces a mysterious man, Chiquita stands against a backdrop of flames, and Ahyeon walks between vehicles with sparks flying.
The OSEN report republished by ChosunBiz described Pharita’s counterpart as “a mysterious man” and left the meaning of the fire open with the question “what kind of narrative it might hold.” The report did not identify the man or explain his relationship to Pharita, nor did it establish what the fire means in the story. The people and backgrounds shown in the images can be identified, but those elements alone do not confirm the characters’ relationships or any symbolism.
Digital single release schedule and song description
YG announced that the digital single ‘DESERVE’ is scheduled for release at 1 p.m. KST on Oct. 23, 2026. This is the announced release time. Yang Hyun-suk described the track as “a slow song,” but said it has “intense energy” compared with the group’s previous releases. He also said delicate vocals and explosive singing build toward an emotional climax.
The stills coverage focuses on the people and settings shown on screen, while Yang Hyun-suk’s comments describe the song’s tempo and vocals. Ahead of the release, viewers can distinguish interpretations of the scenes’ story from the song’s officially described features.
