BABYMONSTER’s Stellar 2025 Start with a Reverse Run to a ‘Successful Future’
[OSEN=선미경 기자] BABYMONSTER continues its upward trend into the new year. Following a spectacular reverse run, the group has crossed 8 million YouTube channel subscribers, proving its overwhelming influence. The monstrous rookie’s growth, less than a year since its debut, is expected to continue throughout the year.
BABYMONSTER kicked off the new year with a reverse chart run. The title track ‘DRIP’ from their first full album ‘DRIP’ is showing continued strength on music charts, signaling an expansion of their influence in the global market.
The group’s track ‘DRIP’ recently soared to 10th on Melon’s HOT100 and 26th on the TOP100 chart. It also reached 8th place on Bugs and continues to set personal bests on other major domestic music charts like Genie, Flo, and Vibe. This upward trend was highlighted during a face-off on the January 12th broadcast of SBS’s ‘Inkigayo’ with G-DRAGON and BLACKPINK’s Rosé, vying for the top spot.
The impressive rise of BABYMONSTER can be attributed to their commanding live performance skills and stage presence. The group made headlines last year at the ‘2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon’ with their trademark hand microphone live performance, garnering high praise from both domestic and international music fans.
From their debut, BABYMONSTER has been a hot topic not just for their idol charm but for their solid live performances and stage presence, steering their continuous upward trajectory even into the new year within the global market.
BABYMONSTER’s channel subscriber count, verified on YouTube as well, crossed 8 million on January 9. With less than a year since their official debut, the group’s tremendous influence is palpable.
Particularly, this surge has been steep since the release of ‘DRIP’. Their comeback stages have swept up significant attention, showcasing the potential of the next YouTube queen. Videos with over 100 million views now number eight, with the official channel’s total views exceeding 3.5 billion.
BABYMONSTER is set to continue this upward trend with the release of the music video for ‘Really Like You’ from their first full album at midnight on the 17th. The track, a hip-hop R&B tune, exudes BABYMONSTER’s clean and fresh charm, resonating with fans through lyrics that depict happiness and excitement about a day spent thinking about a loved one.
The music video also promises to enhance immersion with its bright mood, showcasing a fresh youthful sentiment different from previous ones. High expectations are set for the natural charms of the BABYMONSTER members and the newly unveiled performance. This marks the fourth music video release from their first album, representing a prime opportunity to continue their reverse run of popularity.
Furthermore, BABYMONSTER will meet global fans with their first world tour ‘HELLO MONSTER’ starting on the 25th. Beginning in Seoul and moving through North America, Japan, and other locations including Singapore, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh, Bangkok, and Jakarta, the performances are expected to display both the skill and charm of BABYMONSTER, strong as ever on stage.
BABYMONSTER’s reverse run activities in the new year are making their 2025 ‘flower path’ march one to watch.
