The group BABYMONSTER is once again monopolizing music fans' love with their "Gayo Daejeon" stage, drawing attention to the reasons behind it.
On the 27th, according to YG Entertainment, the video of BABYMONSTER's "2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon" stage uploaded to SBS's official YouTube channel surpassed 2 million views at around 11:40 a.m. that day. It exceeded 1 million views within half a day of being posted, ranking first among the performers' stages and continuing a steep upward trend.
The year-end large broadcast stages' buzz around BABYMONSTER is not new. Last month on Mnet's MAMA, the special stage where they performed "Golden" as a one-key live and the main stage compiling the team's signature songs dominated YouTube view rankings at numbers 1 and 2. Last year on "Gayo Daejeon," they also topped the view counts, beating YG seniors such as G-Dragon and 2NE1 as well as other prominent artists.
At the center of this buzz is their live ability. So far BABYMONSTER has gained popularity by delivering unwavering vocals and stable performances based on handheld microphone live singing. Year-end stages that highlight live ability serve as opportunities to maximize these strengths of BABYMONSTER.
In particular, they received differentiated evaluations for being a stage that pushes forward with skill rather than relying on any production or concept. The live arrangement, which becomes more focused toward the end, drew online word-of-mouth with reactions such as "the more you watch it, the more you admire it."
Ultimately, analysts say the result was produced by live competitiveness, the essence of a stage, beyond mere buzz or production effects. It was a moment that once again confirmed why these artists, who have steadily built their reputation as a "skilled group" since debut, are strong on large stages.
BABYMONSTER is currently touring 12 shows across six cities with "BABYMONSTER [LOVE MONSTERS] ASIA FAN CONCERT 2025-26." They are scheduled to meet fans in Bangkok on the 27th and 28th and in Taipei on Jan. 2 and 3 next year.
