Yang Hyun-suk, chief producer of YG Entertainment (hereinafter YG), has revealed the 2026 activity plans for its affiliated artists.

On the 30th, YG posted 'BABYMONSTER, TREASURE, AND UPCOMING ROOKIES | YG ANNOUNCEMENT' through its official blog.

The first track of BABYMONSTER's third mini album, 'MOON', to be released on May 4, is a dark yet swagger-filled hip-hop song. Yang Hyun-suk explained, "YG has been actively holding song camps recently," and added, "This is our first collaboration with overseas producers for this track, and they are a team that creates very sophisticated and unique sound designs," further fueling curiosity.

The title track 'CHOOM' required extensive preparation to deliver performances befitting its title. While choreography commissions are typically entrusted to 2 or 3 teams, this time the scope was unusually expanded to 10 teams. Notably, Chief Producer Yang personally participated in the chorus section work, raising the level of completion. In addition, the fast-paced, upbeat track 'I LIKE IT' and the slow song 'LOCKED IN', which highlights the members' vocal abilities, were introduced.

Furthermore, Yang Hyun-suk announced that a total of four music videos will be released sequentially, starting with the mini album's title track 'CHOOM (CHOOM)'. Following the new album, a digital single titled 'SUGAR HONEY (tentative title)' is scheduled for release in June, along with music videos for the mini album tracks 'I LIKE IT' and 'MOON', set for release in July and August respectively. This suggests that the project is being carried out under YG's full support.

In addition, TREASURE's new chapter mini album has been confirmed for release on June 1, featuring four hip-hop-based tracks. Yang Hyun-suk stated, "TREASURE debuted during the pandemic and faced many difficulties in the global market," and expressed confidence by saying, "This album is personally my favorite result," raising expectations for the new album.

At the end of the video, Chief Producer Yang Hyun-suk said, "The album by BABYMONSTER, which they worked their hardest with producers over the past year, will be released soon, and TREASURE's album will be released about a month later," adding, "I hope that more joy, emotion, and fun than I expected will be delivered to fans like a gift." He also added, "We will also sequentially reveal the new rookies being planned at YG."
