BABYMONSTER obtained a trophy from the first week of their comeback, making a wonderful start. BABYMONSTER won first place for the title track 'WE GO UP' from their 2nd mini-album on Mnet's 'M COUNTDOWN' broadcast yesterday (16th) afternoon, achieving high scores in all categories including sound sources, albums, fan votes, and SNS, demonstrating the intense interest from fans worldwide. On this day’s main stage, they appeared radiating their unique charisma and caught attention. The choreography featuring points that point to the sky, along with diverse gestures utilizing their hands, left a strong impact, and the powerful performance completed with dancers captured people's hearts. The members' sensory vocals and piercing rap skills, especially Ahyeon's high notes resonating refreshingly over the track, shocked the audience, perfectly showcasing even the whistle voice that requires advanced technique, drawing admiration. They had previously won first place on music programs during their 2024 'SHEESH' activities, but this is the first time receiving a trophy live. BABYMONSTER stated, 'It's all thanks to MONSTIEZ (the name of BABYMONSTER's fandom),' expressing joy with, 'We will return the love and support with great stages.' In the following encore, the members delivered a performance that was as solid as the main stage, eliciting a passionate response. Riding this momentum, they plan to further boost their popularity. Starting with this 'M COUNTDOWN', BABYMONSTER will continue to appear on music programs like MBC's 'Show Music Core' on the 18th, and will actively engage with fans across various platforms such as YouTube and radio.
