BABYMONSTER Shakes Seoul with Electrifying Live Performances, Tears of Gratitude to Fans

As the next generation of YG girl groups, BABYMONSTER displayed their confidence at their first solo concert, proving their immense potential with perfect live vocals, a hip aura, and compelling performances supported by a diverse musical world.

BABYMONSTER successfully wrapped up their two-day concert ‘2025 BABYMONSTER 1st WORLD TOUR <HELLO MONSTERS> IN SEOUL’ on January 25 and 26. The concert, held at the KSPO DOME, revered as a pilgrimage site for K-pop, marked a high-speed entry into the world of music, meeting the high expectations of fans.

BABYMONSTER surprised everyone by performing the entire setlist with a live band and handheld mics, showing their unique confidence in their skills. The concert kicked off with a bang with ‘DRIP’ and continued to captivate the audience with hits like ‘BATTER UP’, ‘CLIK CLAK’, ‘LIKE THAT’, and ‘SHEESH’.

BABYMONSTER showcased their versatile charm with a range of genres from powerful dance tracks to sweet ballads. AHYEON’s solo performance of ‘Dangerously’, along with the other members’ individual stages, added to the concert’s diversity. They also paid homage to their YG roots by uniquely covering 2NE1’s ‘CLAP YOUR HANDS’ and ‘GO AWAY’.

Special stages dedicated to the fans made the concert an unforgettable gift. RUKA and ASA created a special musical synergy with their unit song ‘Woke Up In Tokyo’, and the debut of the music video and live performance of ‘BILLIONAIRE’ from their regular first album thrilled the audience.

The production, a culmination of YG’s expertise, played a significant role in the success. The concert’s design, inspired by the motifs ‘superstar’ and ‘dream’, along with a blend of modern and classic aesthetics in the sculptures, deepened the immersion into BABYMONSTER’s musical world. The group enjoyed intimate moments with the fans, navigating the set and sharing their joy.

Filled with lightsticks, the venue resonated with passionate cheers and sing-alongs from the fans, moving BABYMONSTER to tears. The members expressed their joy, saying, “It’s the best day, performing in the dream venue under our name. All thanks to MONSTIEZ’s love and support. We truly love you and hope you’ll stay with us until the end.”

Meanwhile, BABYMONSTER will continue their momentum with their debut world tour, spanning 14 cities and 23 shows. Starting with performances in Newark on February 28 and Los Angeles on March 2, they will visit Japan (Kanagawa, Aichi, Osaka, Fukuoka) and other Asian cities including Singapore, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Taipei to solidify their global popularity.
