About Asa

Introduced by the label as a rapper and an all-round “ace”, she is the member with the most writing credits on Babymonster's own songs, starting with the pre-debut single “Batter Up”, which she co-wrote and co-composed. She also performs the Japanese-language Drip track “Woke Up in Tokyo” as a duo with Ruka.
