The group BabyMonster has made a successful start to its first Japan tour and has once again been summoned to a local music program, continuing the long-lasting popularity of 'DRIP.'

BabyMonster appeared on TBS 'CDTV Live! Live!' which was conducted as a special live broadcast on the 17th. With a confident attitude and outstanding visuals, BabyMonster showcased upgraded skills and energy through its signature handheld microphone live, overwhelming the audience.

With the whirlwind rapping and explosive vocals, as well as a performance that stands out for its control of intensity and overflowing ease, BabyMonster captivated fans while completing a fantastic 'DRIP' stage that rivals that of a concert. After the broadcast, music fans poured admiration on social media, retweeting the video of the stage with comments like, "I was overwhelmed by their live performance," "It's wonderful to hear Ahyun's three-step high notes on Japanese music broadcasts," and "I'm looking forward to the concert."

'DRIP,' the double title track of the regular first album released in November last year, has gained momentum in popularity as word-of-mouth among music fans worldwide continues to grow due to its unparalleled skill. It has also shown prominence across various indicators in Japan, dominating local terrestrial music broadcast stages such as TV Asahi 'Music Station,' NHK 'Venue101,' and Fuji TV's 'Weekly Nani Nani Music.'

The 'DRIP' one-take live video showcased on the popular Japanese YouTube channel 'THE FIRST TAKE' has been gaining views at an unprecedented rate, surpassing 17 million views, and has maintained a long-charting record for five months on major music charts, including the local top music streaming site 'Line Music.' Thanks to this steady popularity, BabyMonster confirmed its unique power by once again appearing on local music broadcasts and continuing its resurgence in popularity.

'2025 BABYMONSTER 1st WORLD TOUR' is part of the world tour.

'Hello Monsters' in Japan' is also sailing smoothly. On the 14th, they marked a pleasant start with three sold-out shows at Kanagawa Pia Arena MM, and will hold 11 performances across four cities, including at Aichi Port Messe Nagoya on the 22nd and 23rd, Osaka Asue Arena on April 3rd and 4th, Kanagawa K Arena Yokohama on April 12th and 13th, and Fukuoka International Center on April 19th and 20th.

The total cumulative sales of BabyMonster's mini first album [BABYMONS7ER] and regular first album [DRIP] have surpassed 1.68 million copies. This is seen as a response to overwhelming skills demonstrated through tight activities last year, rapid regular releases, and the unveiling of six high-quality music videos, which have attracted a new fan base. Once the world tour, which is expected to continue the global upward trend, is completed, the final sales figures are expected to increase further.
