Group Baby Monster ignited Kobe, the starting point of their second Japanese tour, with intense energy.
Baby Monster successfully held "2026-27 BABYMONSTER WORLD TOUR [CHOOM] IN JAPAN" over two days on the 8th and 9th at Hyogo Zairion Arena Kobe in Japan.
Baby Monster's rising momentum in Japan was clearly reflected in concert ticket sales. Arena performances in five cities, including Kobe, Fukuoka, Yokohama, Chiba, and Nagoya, sold out immediately upon ticket release, demonstrating their formidable local ticket power. Riding this wave of enthusiasm, the tour will make its first appearance at Osaka's Kyocera Dome, the pinnacle of Japan's September concerts, to conclude with a spectacular finale.
The Kobe concert, which kicked off the tour, was fiery from the start. As "WE GO UP" by Jeonju played, the audience erupted in thunderous cheers, and Baby Monster's unparalleled live performance instantly captivated the crowd. Following this, they relentlessly performed hits including "DRIP" and "SHEESH," both surpassing 100 million cumulative streams locally, as well as title tracks and album songs from their third mini-album [CHOOM], which topped Oricon charts, driving the energy to its peak.

The members' significantly upgraded skills shone throughout the performance. Their signature hand-mic live sessions blended seamlessly with the rich sound of a band ensemble, maximizing the sense of presence, while powerful rapping and solid vocals clearly showcased their abilities. Adding to this were unique solo stages, fluent Japanese communication, and dynamic interaction with fans using moving cars, creating unforgettable memories for local fans.
Baby Monster expressed heartfelt sentiments: "We are truly happy to meet you again so soon after the fan concert. We prepared diligently for this tour as well. No matter where we are, your voices of support always reach our hearts. Thanks to that, we gain strength every day. We will repay you with amazing performances for the remainder of the tour."
Having fired the starting gun for their second world tour "2026-27 BABYMONSTER WORLD TOUR [CHOOM]" in Seoul last month, Baby Monster has now moved to Japan to connect with local fans across six cities and 11 shows. After wrapping up Asian dates, they will expand their activities to Oceania, South America, North America, and Europe, continuing a global journey spanning five continents.
Meanwhile, the music video for "I LIKE IT," a track from their third mini-album [CHOOM] released on the 6th, continues to gain popularity with nearly 40 million YouTube views, highlighting the members' refreshing and vibrant charm.
Baby Monster is scheduled to perform "I LIKE IT" on MBC's "Show! Music Core" on the 11th and SBS's "Inkigayo" on the 12th.
