BABYMONSTER captivated global fans once again by releasing the full performance version of the mini album 2 [WE GO UP] track "PSYCHO."
YG Entertainment posted "BABYMONSTER - 'PSYCHO' PERFORMANCE VIDEO" on its official blog on the 6th. Following the music video, which surpassed 100 million views on YouTube 14 days after its release, the video presented the full performance as a high-quality YG production.
A red-toned set that faithfully reproduced the lip prop from the music video commands attention. Emerging in silhouette from the darkness, BABYMONSTER led the song's mysterious atmosphere with groovy choreography matched to a heavy beat. The members, outfitted in the music video styling, exuded even more vivid charisma under the red lighting, raising viewers' heart rates.
The members' constantly changing facial expressions and dynamic lines of movement also stood out. Intense gazes and powerful energy made it impossible to look away. In addition to intuitively expressing "PSYCHO" with BABYMONSTER's signature hand motions, the outro head-banging move synchronized with the lyrics maximized immersion.
Careful direction using lighting, camera moving, and special effects was also impressive. Lighting that changes with the song's flow amplified the dynamic atmosphere, and camera work captured from multiple angles elevated the performance's appeal. With pyrotechnics added in the latter part, the video delivered a thrilling rush, once again producing a high-quality video befitting YG, a performance-video powerhouse.
The "PSYCHO" performance was completed by top choreographers including Riehata and Jonahyn. Since the music video drew explosive reactions for its conceptual direction, this performance video is also expected to fuel the upward trend and drive twin popularity.
Meanwhile, BABYMONSTER, who returned with the mini album 2 [WE GO UP], is currently touring "BABYMONSTER [LOVE MONSTERS] ASIA FAN CONCERT 2025-26." Recently, their "Golden" stage at Mnet's "2025 MAMA Awards" drew praise from music fans and ranked first in views for awards-show stage videos, continuing their unrivaled popularity streak.
