BADVILLAIN (배드빌런) is a seven-member girl group under BPM Entertainment. They made their debut on June 3, 2024 with the single album "Overstep".
"BADVILLAIN" is a compound word of "Bad" and "Villain". "Bad" is an abbreviation for "Be Aggressive for Desire", while "Villain" refers here as a person who moves only for one's goal. The name expresses the power and energy they have, and contains the meaning of the children who made the best choice for me. Alternatively shorten as BV (Born to be Visionary), it means being born with infinite possibilities and a new vision and adds the meaning of a new hero on stage who pursues dreams and goals.[1][2]
