BABYMONSTER Takes Japan by Storm with Tokyo Pop-Up Buzz
[OSEN=장우영 기자] The BABYMONSTER pop-up store, commemorating their Japanese tour, has become a hotbed of activity, sparking high anticipation for their upcoming performances.
YG Entertainment has been operating the ‘2025 BABYMONSTER 1st WORLD TOUR <HELLO MONSTER> IN JAPAN POP-UP STORE’ at the SHIBUYA MODI shopping mall in Tokyo from March 8th to the 17th. The pop-up store, launched in celebration of BABYMONSTER’s first world tour in Japan, has been bustling from day one with both pre-booked visitors and walk-ins, creating a constant buzz of activity.
The store features over 100 types of merchandise, including tour merchandise and special limited editions only available on-site, enhancing fan satisfaction significantly. The response has been so overwhelming that some items have temporarily sold out. Beyond merchandise, the store also offers a variety of attractions and entertainment, drawing large crowds of both die-hard fans and the general public.
Fueled by this local enthusiasm, pop-up stores are set to open across Japan, including Nagoya from March 15th to 24th, Osaka from March 28th to April 6th, Yokohama from April 4th to 14th, and finally Fukuoka from April 12th to 22nd, promising to elevate the festive atmosphere.
BABYMONSTER will kick off their performances on March 14th at the Kanagawa Pia Arena MM, followed by shows in Aichi Portmesse Nagoya, Osaka Osue Arena, Kanagawa K Arena Yokohama, and Fukuoka International Center. They are scheduled to perform in four cities across 11 sessions.
This series of performances marks BABYMONSTER’s return to the stage with their fans following the release of their first full album [DRIP]. The announcement of the world tour garnered an enthusiastic response, with ticket sales rapidly selling out despite a schedule twice as extensive as last year’s fan meeting tour, highlighting the expanding influence and reach of BABYMONSTER’s fandom in Japan.
In related news, after launching their debut world tour at the Seoul KSPO DOME in January, BABYMONSTER recently concluded their first North American tour. They are scheduled to meet global fans in 20 cities across 29 sessions, including new North American stops in Toronto, Rosemont, Atlanta, Fort Worth, Oakland, and Seattle, as well as dates in Asia including Singapore, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Taipei.
