The group BABYMONSTER is following the hot momentum of its mini 3rd album with an ultra-fast comeback.
On the 26th, according to YG Entertainment, BABYMONSTER will surprise-release a new digital single, SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA, at 12 a.m. on June 8.
This is an ultra-fast comeback presented just one month after activities for the mini 3rd album released on May 4, [춤 (CHOOM)]. The agency's promise to massively improve internal systems to enable more vigorous activities by its artists and shorten album preparation time is proving to be coming to fruition.
YG Entertainment surprised fans by releasing the new single's teaser poster on its official blog, firing the starting shot for a full-scale promotion.
The released poster pairs a neon green color that immediately catches the eye with a street-style background to deliver a strong impression. The boldly engraved typography above it reveals BABYMONSTER's confident anticipation for the musical world they will newly unveil.
In particular, the full version of the new song title that had piqued curiosity after chief producer Yang Hyun-suk hinted at it, SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA, was also unveiled. The combination of sugar (SUGAR), honey (HONEY) and iced tea (ICE TEA) intuitively evokes a sweet yet refreshing energy, drawing the response of global fans.
YG said, "As the title 'SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA' suggests, it will be a BABYMONSTER-style 'summer song' that will coolly blow away this summer's heat," adding, "We are preparing not only promotions for the new song but also a music video for a track included in the mini 3rd album [춤 (CHOOM)]. We plan to fill this summer closely with fans, so please look forward to it."
Along with the ultra-fast comeback news, BABYMONSTER also unveiled an expanded second world tour schedule. Starting in Seoul, they will perform large-scale shows totaling 27 stops across 18 cities: six cities in Japan (Kobe·Fukuoka·Yokohama·Chiba·Nagoya·Osaka), eight cities in Asia (Manila·Macao·Jakarta·Bangkok·Kuala Lumpur·Taipei·Singapore·Hong Kong), and three cities in Oceania (Auckland·Melbourne·Sydney). Europe, North America and South America dates are expected to be added later, focusing the attention of fans worldwide.
