BABYMONSTER Embarks on Rapid World Tour Within One Year of Debut… Confirms U.S. Tour Next Year

YG Entertainment’s rookie girl group BABYMONSTER has officially announced their first world tour, marking a robust entry into the global market.

On November 18, YG Entertainment posted on their official blog the announcement for the ‘2025 BABYMONSTER 1st WORLD TOUR <HELLO MONSTERS>’. According to the announcement, BABYMONSTER will kick off their world tour in Seoul this coming January, then head to New Jersey in February and Los Angeles in March.

Despite being newcomers, having not even completed their first year since debut, they are rapidly rolling out a massive project from the release of their first full album to embarking on a world tour. This underscores their solidified position as the next global frontrunners and their remarkable growth.

Notably, this world tour will be BABYMONSTER’s first opportunity to meet North American fans in person, stepping into one of the world’s largest music markets, the United States, thus expected to significantly broaden their global reach.

Moreover, the recently revealed poster not only highlights Seoul and North America but also includes the phrase ‘AND MORE,’ sparking curiosity about additional locations that will be announced. With their recent album activities, fan meeting tours, and festival performances showcasing their overwhelming performance capabilities, global interest in these rising stars is intensifying.

YG stated, “As this is our first world tour, both the artists and staff are putting in their utmost effort to present the best performances. Fans can look forward to more dates as we plan to visit as many as possible.”

Meanwhile, BABYMONSTER’s debut full album ‘DRIP’, released on the 1st of this month, has been making notable strides in major global charts. The album entered the Billboard 200 at number 149, marking their debut on this chart, while the title track ‘DRIP’ has reached new personal bests, placing 16th on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and 30th on the Billboard Global 200.
