BABYMONSTER’s B-Side Track From Two Years Ago Makes a Reverse Chart Run… Reappears on ‘M Countdown’ → Live Clip Released

BABYMONSTER surprised music fans by releasing a stage video of ‘Really Like You,’ a track from their 1st full-length album [DRIP], responding to the song’s explosive resurgence in popularity.

On the 2nd, YG Entertainment posted the live clip titled ‘BABYMONSTER – ‘Really Like You’ Live at “LOVE MONSTERS”’ on its official blog. This video captures the group’s performance from their Japan fan concert held last December, which became the starting point of the song’s reverse chart run, allowing viewers to fully feel the reason behind the global craze.

BABYMONSTER, shedding their usual charisma, armed themselves with lovable charm instead, coloring the venue with bright energy. Their cute facial expressions and gestures heightened the warm yet lively mood of the song, while their playful chemistry brought smiles to viewers.

Another captivating point was the members’ unmatched live vocals blended with the band sound. Their relaxed stage manner, fully immersed in enjoying the performance, led to deeper connection with the fans filling the audience and delivered a pleasant sense of excitement.

‘Really Like You’ has been gaining explosive popularity among global fans, showing strong staying power even though 1 year and 2 months have passed since its release. The choreography of forming an “O” shape with the hands in sync with the lyric “Okay” has been used as a challenge, naturally becoming a trend among K-pop fans and fellow artists.

In fact, powered by the challenge craze, the song has been achieving meaningful results across SNS and domestic and international music charts. It ranked No. 1 on TikTok Korea’s Music Viral 50 chart and has been re-entering major Korean streaming charts such as YouTube Weekly Popular Songs and Melon, continuing to break its own peak records. On China’s largest short-form platform Douyin, related keywords rose to No. 4, and the track also surged into the Top 50 range on Japan’s Line Music K-pop chart.

As a result, BABYMONSTER will appear on Mnet’s ‘M Countdown’ on the 5th to perform ‘Really Like You.’ This special event was made possible through the members’ wish to repay fans’ love, combined with growing requests following the song’s reverse chart momentum. YG stated that fans will be able to enjoy a performance filled with BABYMONSTER’s unique winter sentiments.
