The girl group BABYMONSTER completely dominated the 2026 SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer, once again proving their unmatched stage presence.
On the 23rd, according to YG Entertainment, the video of BABYMONSTER's 2026 SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer stage, released on SBS' Inkigayo official YouTube channel, easily surpassed 1 million views the previous afternoon. This is by far the most outstanding view count among all performers' stages and is recording the fastest upward trend.
BABYMONSTER's large-scale broadcast stage buzz is already unmatched. Following their debut year when they ranked first in total stage views for two consecutive years at the 2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon and the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon, they also swept first and second place in views at the 2025 MAMA AWARDS.
On this stage, BABYMONSTER released both freshness and explosive energy with the title track "Choom (CHOOM)" and the digital single "SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA," and showcased a wide spectrum by creating a mysterious aura with the unaired "MOON" performance.
In particular, even amid intense high-difficulty performances, their flawless handheld-mic live showed without reservation the true worth of not just a "monster rookie" but a "skilled artist." Immediately after the broadcast, various communities were filled with global fans' praise such as "a perfect live like watching a solo concert" and "even the stage manners are flawless."
Recently, their solid live skills and stage presence, built on large domestic and international stages including their second world tour and Japan's largest music festival "Summer Sonic 2026," were noted to have shone. Their official YouTube channel also surpassed 13 million subscribers, marking the third record among K-pop girl groups and fully demonstrating the stature befitting a next-generation "YouTube queen."
Meanwhile, BABYMONSTER will continue a large-scale global march covering five continents — Asia, South America, North America and Europe — while staging their second world tour, 2026-27 BABYMONSTER WORLD TOUR [Choom (CHOOM)].<
