Girl group Baby Monster has once again demonstrated its formidable global popularity on YouTube.
According to Y Entertainment on the 18th, Baby Monster's official YouTube channel surpassed 12 million subscribers around 6:30 p.m. on the 17th. This occurred approximately two years and two months after their official debut on April 1, 2024, marking the fastest time ever for a K-pop girl group to reach this milestone based on their debut date.
Baby Monster has continued its steep rise in popularity on YouTube, joining the 10th million subscriber club last October. It ranks first among fifth-generation girl groups and third among all K-pop girl groups. The upward trend was particularly notable following the release of their third mini-album 'CHOOM' on the 4th.
Y explained, "In just 13 days leading up to the 17th, they gained approximately 250,000 new subscribers, attracting nearly 20,000 subscribers per day on average. This comeback served as a powerful catalyst for drawing in new fans."
The title track of the same name, 'CHOOM,' also immediately reached number one on YouTube's Worldwide Trending chart upon the release of its music video and was featured on 'Most Viewed Videos in 24 Hours.' It surpassed 15 million views within half a day of release and, with its consistent upward trajectory, is now on the verge of breaking 100 million views.
Meanwhile, Baby Monster is embarking on its second world tour, covering a total of 18 cities across 27 dates: Seoul; six cities in Japan (Kobe, Fukuoka, Yokohama, Chiba, Nagoya, Osaka); eight cities in Asia (Manila, Macau, Jakarta, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Singapore, Hong Kong); and three cities in Oceania (Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney). Schedules for Europe, North America, and South America are also expected to be added later.
