BABYMONSTER’s Rami has given fans their first glimpse of her face in around a year, sparking fresh speculation about her health and possible return.
Rami has been on hiatus from BABYMONSTER since May 2025 due to health concerns. YG Entertainment previously announced that she would sit out the group’s activities to focus on her recovery.

While Rami’s mother has shared photos of her daughter during the hiatus, none of the previous pictures show her face. That changed with a new update on Instagram.

Fans were relieved to see her looking healthy, with some taking the photo as a possible sign she might be getting closer to returning to her activities.
Others, however, have raised a different possibility. Given how long Rami has been away from BABYMONSTER, some fans now wonder if she could eventually leave YG Entertainment instead.
Reactions to the unexpected photo have been mixed. Some fans are hopeful that Rami will return soon, while others are more concerned about making sure she has enough time to recover before resuming her career.
She definitely leaving YG the way her mom sharing her photo freely cause YG would never let her https://t.co/0XIX8jsrY1

Please let her rest. Don’t force her to come back unless she is 110% ready. She’s been bedridden for so long, she needs time to heal. We can wait. Patience is an understated virtue
