YG Entertainment’s rising girl group BABYMONSTER is set to make history with their first international tour, “Hello Monsters”, bringing their electrifying performances to North American fans in 2025.
The tour, which kicks off in Seoul on January 25th, will feature two highly anticipated US stops: the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on February 28th, and the iconic Kia Forum in Inglewood, CA on March 2nd. This marks a significant milestone for the rookie group, who debuted less than a year ago in April 2024.
Tour Highlights
- Debut Album Success: The tour supports their first full-length album DRIP, released on November 1st, 2024.
- Billboard Impact: The album debuted at No. 149 on the US Billboard 200.
- Global Reach: Title track “DRIP” reached No. 16 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.
Why This Tour Matters
BABYMONSTER has already proven their global appeal. Their music videos for “Drip” and “Clik Clak” have each garnered over 100 million YouTube views, and they’ve been recognized by Billboard as one of the “Most Promising K-pop Rookies of 2024”
The group, composed of seven multinational members – RUKA, PHARITA, ASA, AHYEON, RAMI, RORA, and CHIQUITA – represents a new generation of K-pop talent. They’ve already broken records, with their debut track “SHEESH” achieving an impressive 24.41 million views in just 24 hours.
Ticket Information
Fans can purchase tickets starting December 18th at 3 pm local time through LiveNation.com. VIP packages will also be available, offering exclusive perks like soundcheck access and special merchandise.
The tour’s ambitious venues have sparked discussion among fans. While some wonder if the large arenas like Prudential Center and Kia Forum might be too big for a rookie group, others see it as a testament to BABYMONSTER’s growing popularity.
What to Expect
The setlist is expected to feature tracks from their DRIP album, including hits like “FOREVER”, “CLIK CLAK”, and the G-Dragon-composed title track “DRIP”. With 13 unique songs and potential unit stages, fans are in for an unforgettable experience.
As BABYMONSTER continues to break barriers and expand their global fanbase, this tour represents more than just concerts – it’s a statement of their rising status in the international K-pop scene.
